Book Jacket Summary:

Art Williams began his career doing what he loved – coaching high school football. A family tragedy changed his direction when his father died and he learned the hard way that whole life insurance was a scam. After he did his research, he determined that “term Life” was a far better deal – but most insurance companies sis not sell that type of policy. He decided he would.

Years later he would become the largest insurance company in the United States and term life became the best policy type folks could buy. In the process, Art became a billionaire, but more importantly hundreds of his fellow “termites” would become multimillionaires and policy owners would be awarded far larger pay-outs when a family loved one would pass.

His story and success is here.
