- According to a recent survey by Paychex, 42% of professionals experience moderate stress levels on a regular basis; money and work are key contributors to that stress.
- The Bank of America Business Advantage Small Business Owner Report in 2017 revealed that running a business is 4 times more stressful than raising children; and that 1 in 5 business owners have had a nightmare about their business failing.

LLIS Insurance Academy 2019:
- Watch for registration to open this summer!
LLIS turns 20 this year! (September 9^th is our actual birthdate)
- We’re focusing on 20 this year with our webinars, conference participation, and prizes.
- We’re experienced. But still young. There’s no resting on our laurels here.
  - We just introduced you to ALLiS (the secure extension of teamLLIS that provides 24/7/365 dashboard and drill-down views of allowable client information).
  - And we’re continuing to streamline our processes and our people. In our 20^th year, we’ve hired 4 new people so far. We’ve changed our job descriptions, transitioning new business assistants to case managers (since ALLiS does so much of the formerly manual administrative tasks). And staffing up our growing and unique policyholder services team, helping your clients manage and change their in-force policies.
