You're Not Superman: The Hidden Risk of Putting Off Insurance

You’re Not Superman: Why It’s Better to Know Than Avoid the Truth About Insurance

If you’re like many business owners I speak to—particularly men—you’ve probably had that quiet voice in the back of your head whisper: “I should probably get life insurance.”
And if you’re also like many of them, you’ve probably shoved that thought aside.

·       Maybe it felt too complicated.

·       Maybe you were worried about what a medical exam might uncover.

·       Maybe you’ve convinced yourself you’re healthy enough, active enough, busy enough—invincible enough—to put it off for another year.

Here’s the thing: You’re not alone in thinking that way. But the truth is, none of us are Superman.

The Call No One Wants to Make

Every month, I get at least one call that goes something like this:

“Hey, I know we talked a year or two ago about insurance… but I didn’t do anything at the time. I’ve just been diagnosed with [diabetes / cancer / heart condition], and now I’m wondering—can I still get covered?”

The hardest part of my job is telling someone they waited too long.

In many of these cases, they’re now uninsurable—or the only options available are expensive and limited. These are good people. Business owners. Parents. Spouses.
They just put it off… until the clock ran out.

Fear of the Unknown = Inaction

We talk a lot about "life getting in the way"—but more often, what actually gets in the way is fear.

Fear of being told something we don’t want to hear.
Fear that applying for coverage might expose a hidden health issue.
Fear of the unknown.

So we wait.
We delay.
We ignore advice.
We push it to “next quarter” or “after the busy season.”

But delaying doesn’t protect you—it just shrinks your options.

The Gap Where Anxiety Grows

There’s a saying: anxiety lives in the space between the question and the answer.

Think about being stuck in traffic on the way to an important meeting. The moment you realize you're not sure you'll make it on time, your brain starts spinning.
You're not late yet—but the uncertainty causes stress.

The same happens with your health and financial security.
When you don’t know where you stand, you can’t plan.
When you don’t know if you’re insurable, you can’t protect what matters.
That’s when anxiety grows—and decision-making freezes.

It’s Always Better to Know

Here’s what I’ve learned after years of working with business owners:
Knowledge gives you power, not fear.

Once you know where you stand—medically, financially, insurability-wise—you’re free to make informed decisions.
Whether that means locking in affordable coverage now, planning for future upgrades, or even understanding your current limitations—you’re back in control.

That’s why we start with a simple, pressure-free conversation.
No judgment. No pushy sales. Just answers.

If you’ve been putting off getting insured—especially if you’ve built a business and people rely on you—now is the time.
Don’t let fear keep you in the dark. The only thing worse than finding out something’s wrong… is finding out too late to do anything about it.
