  Bo Johnson: Young Survivor and Cancer Advocate
  ...
  Bo Johnson of Lake Norman, North Carolina, tells a much different story. Johnson, a non-smoker, was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer -- the most serious stage -- in 2006 at the age of 34.
  
  "I never had any symptoms except for a dry cough," says Johnson, "When I was told I had lung cancer, it was a catastrophe -- complete shock multiplied by 1,000."
  
  Johnson was diagnosed with cancer by a local oncologist.
  ...
  "Bo was willing to try experimental procedures more than other patients," says Blackwell, who is also a member of Johnson's treatment team.
  ...
  "I was told I had four to six months to live, and that was not good enough as far as I was concerned," says Johnson.
  ...
  Johnson remained at Duke University Hospital recovering from the procedure for five months.
  
  Today, he is back home with his family. "So far, so good," he says. "If it wasn't for this transplant, I'm not sure I would be alive right now."
  
  Johnson has returned to work, but tires easily. He works as much as possible -- often three to four hours a day -- as chief marketing officer at Financial Independence Group, a financial marketing company.
  
  He is currently taking drugs to prevent infection associated with the lung transplant and to fight rejection. He may eventually begin taking additional drugs to prevent the cancer from returning.
  
  Three months after his diagnosis with cancer Johnson, along with his wife, Christi, created a nonprofit foundation to fund lung cancer research at Duke, and raised more than $75,000 in its first three months.

  Not surprising says Financial Advisor Bo Johnson he says Enron has had a psychological affect on us.
  
  Besides, he says, the economy, and the stock market are directly linked.He says we should all be concerned, but Johnson says it's important to keep the whole Enron thing in perspective.
  
  "Enron is one company in a very large economy, and it is not going to affect the average investor, but if you don't have any direct investments in Enron, it shouldn't affect you that much," said Johnson.
  
  Still have questions about Enron?Just stay tuned you can be sure there is more to come.

  In 1997, Bo Johnson was hired as Chief Marketing Officer. Cain, with his experience, and Johnson, with his energy and vision, skyrocketed FIG from a small company to one of the best and most recognized marketing companies in the country.
  ...
  Johnson explains, "We do everything possible to be a true partner. Saying you will partner with an agent is easy; what is unfortunate is that most marketing companies do not actually get around to doing it."
  
  The objective for FIG has been the same since the beginning: under promise and over-deliver. Regarding success Johnson said, "We measure our success by the success of each independent agent.

  Crediting methods constantly are being improved, and companies are adding features to make products more client-friendly, such as more liquidity, shorter surrenders, better death benefits, higher growth opportunities, and bonuses. Bo Johnson, chief marketing officer, Financial Independence Group, Inc., Cornelius, N.C., says the EIAs' biggest advantages are the floor interest rate and that they have no fees associated with them. Mr. Johnson says producers should avoid products with too many moving parts.They might look good at first, but the producer should pay attention to where the moving parts renew during subsequent years. Wholesalers can help by bringing value-added services to the table.Mr. Johnson says marketing companies have become the preferred distribution for EIAs."The insurance companies focus on product, and we focus on distributing these products and adding value," he says. Financial Independence Group (FIG) assigns three private specialists to each adviser who works with the company.FIG also offers automated services that help cases get issued and paid.Mr. Johnson says the company has seen success with the new FIG Business Builder Program.And FIG's most popular services, including the Producer Paycheck Marketing Reimbursement Program, EIA mini-CD-ROMS, and a seminar system, are available as part of its Ultimate Advisors Pack. EIAs are changing, and most of these changes are good for the consumer.Producers should avoid some products, however, that are getting less advantageous for the consumer but have great "sizzle" up front.Mr. Johnson thinks the best recent changes are those that give the consumer more choices of methods and have fewer moving parts. "Showing clients a past history of what they could have done is a powerful sales tool," Mr. Johnson says."If there are too many moving parts, it is really hard to show results from past history and be in compliance." Overall, however, Mr. Johnson thinks the EIA market is positive. Carriers make many EIAs from which producers may choose. Michael K. Deardorff, senior vice president, RBC Insurance, Kansas City, Mo., says
