Eva Scott/Premier Financial Alliance

Premier Financial Alliance is a company that specializes in designing tax free retirement strategies for small business owners and individuals. At PFA, they believe in taking minimal risks with your money or your life. How would you like locking in your gains every year when the market goes up and never losing them again? How would you like to protect your investments having no losses due to declines in the index? How would you like being able to access most of your cash value at any time through policy loans without penalties or tax consequences?

Another key element in a sound retirement plan is protection. Their clients have access to a new kind of life insurance they don’t have to die to use. A percentage of your life insurance proceeds can be accessed in the event of a terminal, chronic or critical illness. You can take care of your living expenses if you become ill or receive a monthly income during a disability (if you cannot perform 2 of the 6 activities of daily living) and be able to pay your bills without tapping into your savings or investments.

Premier Financial Alliance takes the guessing and the worrying out of your retirement plan.

Mike Haswell/Storing Treasures

Storing Treasures is dedicated to providing new and unique options regarding financial coaching. Rather than assuming everyone responds to handling finances in the same manner, Storing Treasures recognizes each person’s unique financial personality regarding money. The Financial Personality Assessment is the cornerstone of the entire Storing Treasures Program. Our financial personalities are driven by specific traits that define how we think and how we behave financially. In order to reach many more people with the Storing Treasures approach, they have developed a new web-based program called STAFF (Storing Treasures Automated Financial Foundation). STAFF is a unique, one of a kind educational platform designed to provide the user with a personalized plan. It is an 8 session course that allows the individual to learn about educational topics and then input their own information into a secure environment. Individuals can then get a personalized report, based on their own financial personality, that they can use time and time again. Once you understand how you and those around you are wired from a financial standpoint, you can make better decisions that will ultimately lead to better communication, lower debt, higher savings and improvement in your finances.

Storing Treasures promotes this program to employers, financial professionals, churches and non-profits as a way for these organizations to provide a new program for those they serve. Statistics show the incredible amount of time people worry about their finances in any given day… leading to stress-related illnesses, absenteeism and a lack of productivity. Your organization will become stronger by offering a way for people to get the basic financial help and support they need… helping them become a better employee.

Dr. Nick Tedder/Upper Cervical Chiropractic of Georgia

Upper Cervical Chiropractic of Georgia is located in Dacula, GA. Upper Cervical care is a rapidly growing form of chiropractic that focuses on the intimate relationship between the first two bones in the neck, called the Upper Cervical spine, and a vital portion of the nervous system, known as the brain stem. This relationship is essential to the body’s ability to preserve and restore health. Think of the brain stem as the control center that extends down an opening in the base of your skull, making it vulnerable to injuries or irritation around the upper neck. The brain stem works like a telephone cable with thousands of individual wires or nerve fibers sending signals back and forth between the brain and spinal cord to every cell, organ and system in the body. Every nerve impulse between the brain and the body must pass through the brain stem. The nervous system is responsible for all communication within the body. It controls your immune system, emotions, vision, hearing, balance, breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, muscle tension, posture, hormones and every other function. Irritation or pressure within the central nervous system can interrupt communication between the brain and the body, thus creating a variety of health problems.
