JIM KAIGHN INSURANCE AGENCY- HOME OF THE “INSURANCE DOCTOR”
ATTN: MILLENNIALS--(Generation Y), Generation X, Generation Z-- An Apology to you!!
have been doing these insurance articles for two years now,
I always trying to give the best insurance information and money
matter information that I could. I never tried to target one particular
age bracket or demographic, but it has come to my attention recently
that my rhetoric and phrasing of my content may not be reaching everyone
in the same way. I guess ,because of my age ,I have slanted
my articles more toward folks nearing or at retirement age, but never
meaning to.. I have been told by many of you younger folks that you
want content also aimed at you and your upbringing and schooling..
So, here is my apology to you guys and gals for not being sensitive
to your way of learning about these matters. Again, my generation
learned these money concepts from our parents, from schooling
and from agents like myself who always educated their clients in the
different forms of insurance..
But, Now I realize that YOUR form of learning is not from the old
ways, but from the new ways.. You folks are born into the internet
age, smart phone and t.v. ads that make insurance really look
unimportant, just something we need, not really understanding its
overall importance in your financial scheme of things.. You are being
told CHEAPER IS BETTER, your roll models are a waitress, a small
rodent, a cartoon general and an internet site to get the cheapest
Life Insurance without being told of all the options out their to choose
from different types, not just TERM!! So, from now on, my articles
will cover my topics aimed at ALL AGES of readers..If any of you

It is NOT YOUR FAULT the school systems do not not teach basic
insurance concepts through middle school and high school.. In the
lower grades you are taught how to count money, but not taught how
to use it, how to save it or spend it or budget it.. It is a hard lesson
to learn as you grow up with no one to really teach you about the
proper way to use money smartly.. Money is not the root of all evil..
GREED over using it is..Talk to your grandparents and see if they
have done well, how did they do it!! Ask them, they might be able
to point you in the right direction, NOT A WAITRESS, A RODENT,
A CARTOON GENERAL or some radio or T.V. shows.. Until next
month -- HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU-- THOUGHT of the month- this
quote comes from BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, one of our founding fathers
and signers of the U.S. CONSTITUTION. in 1769!! Yes before
the signing.. His take on Life Insurance importance “A policy of life
assurance is the cheapest and safest mode of making certain provision
for one’s family . It is time our people understood and practiced
more generally life assurance. Many a widow and orphan have great
reason to be thankful that the advantage of life assurance was understood
and embraced by the husband and father. A large amount
has been paid.. to widows and orphans when it formed almost their
only recourse”
Professionalism by Jim Bray
What does Professionalism mean to me? Professionalism
refers to the way in which a person conducts business
and how they interact with coworkers, subordinates, and the
public. Professionalism is more than possessing a college
degree or a long list of accomplishments. Professionalism
incorporates many different attributes that make a person a true
professional. A professional should be confident, polite, and a
good communicator. Professionalism means remaining calm
even in a tense work environment. A professional must be
reliable and dependable. People will be counting on you to get
the job done promptly and with a satisfactory outcome. Professionals
should be competent in their field and willing to educate
those around them. If I am elected Sheriff, I will ensure I am
surrounded by men and women who are competent and highly
trained to perform their duties.
Professionalism means being organized and accountable for
your actions and the actions of subordinates. A professional
must accept responsibility and take their job seriously. Lastly,
what I believe to be the most important characteristic of
professionalism is ethics. A professional should do what is
right even when no one is watching. Integrity and ethics form
the foundation of a person and this defines a real professional.
The level of leadership a person is capable of is often reflected
in their professionalism. As the Sheriff of Perquimans County,
I want to be that strong leader that exemplifies professionalism
while being a positive role model for the community. I would
appreciate your support in my bid to be the Perquimans County
Sheriff in 2018.

“Most of the harm in the
world is done by good
people, and not by accident,
lapse, or omission.
It is the result of their
deliberate actions, long
persevered in, which they
hold to be motivated by
high ideals toward virtuous
ends.”
