Every human being
has a right to live life
to his or her fullest potential.
Desperation and fear
are Mankind's oldest enemies.
A society may fairly be judged
by the extent to which it spares
its most vulnerable citizens
from having to endure them.
Self-sufficiency is less satisfying
to the soul than caring
for one another.
As Mankind truly is one family,
what benefits any one of us
enhances the lives of us all.
Those of us with greater needs
enable their loved ones
by enabling them to feel needed.
Make it possible for people
(both the less and more fortunate)
to achieve peace of mind.
To love another
means you can't feel things
are okay until you know
they feel that way.
Your peace of mind
depends on knowing you've helped
bring peace of mind to the other.
Live and help live
Provide a person
with the means to live
a fuller life and you give more
meaning to yours.
Help those with special needs
attain greater independence
and security.
If only the strong were to survive,
wouldn't all of our lives
be greatly diminished?
Prepare. Protected. Provide.
The families who count on us
expect nothing less.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to become an Advocate
We have a number of different license packages from which you can choose. Contact us by e-mail at info@protectedtomorrows.com or click here to fill out our contact form and we will be happy to discuss the fee structure with you.
What do I get for my fees?
Protected Tomorrows® fees are broken down into two parts: a license and marketing fee and a training and support fee.
Can I do the training remotely?
No, you must come to Protected Tomorrows® corporate offices for in-person training in our LifeCare center. We find that the interaction between new Advocates is invaluable. By sharing ideas and hearing other's questions and our answers, you enhence the learning process. Further, the networking and support that new Advocates give each other will help you begin your new business. Finally, meeting and working with our support staff is part of the training, as we will be acting as your back office. Understanding how you like to work, and how we can best help you succeed, is part of the discovery process during the time we spend with you. Plus, it is fun!
Will you give me referrals or customers?
Absolutely! In addition to the customers and referrals you receive from doing your own marketing through speeches and expos, we will be providing you with referrals throughout the year. From our online community to the national speeches and trade shows that Protected Tomorrows® corporate participates in, we have a steady stream of individual who would like to work with our licensed Advocates. The license package that you choose will determine your priority within our distribution stream. Premier members receive first priority within the corporate referral program. But don't worry, we have enough referrals for our Standard members also.
I am a teacher/attorney/life planner/nurse/etc. Can I become an Advocate?
Yes. Anyone has the potential to become an Advocate. We have many teachers, social workers, life planners (and more) who have been trained and are successful Advocates. They find that it enriches their practice and allows them to give back to their clients. It helps them touch lives and make a real difference. You can read more about how becoming affiliated with Protected Tomorrows has changed our Advocates lives here.
I am not a financial planner. What do I do during that stage of the Process?
The Process for Protected Tomorrows® is not a financial planning process. We do not give financial advice. However, we do train you to help families think about their goals in life so that they can get the maximum benefit out of the time they spend with their financial planner. After completing that part of the process with you, families are ready to consult their financial planner or money manager to help them achieve their goals.
Often families will ask you for a referral because they may not have a financial planner. If you do not have a referral list, we can help direct you to associations and professionals in your area that have extensive experience and work specifically with families that have a member with special needs.
I don't have a list of attorneys to refer business to - what can I do?
The Process for Protected Tomorrows® is not a legal process. We do not give legal advice. However, we do train you to help families think about their goals and gather the necessary information prior to their visit with an attorney. This will help them maximize their benefit and minimize the time and money spent with their attorney.
Often families will ask you for a referral because they may not have an attorney who specializes in the estate planning and special needs arena. If you do not have a referral list, we can help direct you to association and professionals in your area that have extensive experience and work specifically with families that have a member with special needs.
