Life insurance is time. The time a man might not have. If he needs time, he needs life insurance.
BEN FELDMANLife insurance is time. The time a man might not have. If he needs time, he needs life insurance.
BEN FELDMANThe biggest asset you have is your earning capacity, and that depends entirely on your attitude.
BEN FELDMANDo you know anyone who has a lease on life? It isn’t a question of if; it’s a question of when.
BEN FELDMANI rarely use the telephone because he may not want to see me. I have a better chance of seeing the man I want to see if I do go.
BEN FELDMANWork hard. Think big. Listen well.
BEN FELDMANI think I’m the funniest guy in a room full of unfunny people. Unfortunately, my career is increasingly leading me into rooms where everybody is funny. I’m the least funny person in a room full of funny people.
BEN FELDMANWhen you audition for shows in Hollywood, you go in, you do your scene, maybe you get an adjustment. It’s sort of easy, and a lot of times it just feels sort of rote and simple.
BEN FELDMANI’m just the least funny person in a room full of funny people, which is basically every single day of work for me.
BEN FELDMANI don’t like horror, which is ridiculous because I’ve been in three horror movies, but when I see those things, I see camera tricks and fake blood and actors screaming and I don’t know understand why other actors don’t see that.
BEN FELDMANIf you look at the history of advertising, most of them were Jews, so it was only a matter of time before ‘Mad Men’ explored that area of advertising.
BEN FELDMANGoals aren’t enough. You need goals plus deadlines: goals big enough to get excited about and deadline to make you run. One isn’t much good without the other, but together they can be tremendous.
BEN FELDMANWhen you realize the writers start writing to who you are, you’re basically reading reviews of yourself. And then it becomes this cyclical nightmare where I feel like I need to play into it, then I find myself acting like the character in real life.
BEN FELDMANAnd I’m overcompensated for that. So it’s insane to not use that pedestal to try and at least help someone or something that’s in need.
BEN FELDMANIf people understood what life insurance does, we wouldn’t need salesmen to sell it. People would come knocking on the door. But they don’t understand.
BEN FELDMANI meet people and a lot of times, instead of saying, “Are you from the East Coast?” people just go, “you’re from the East Coast, right?”, having no reason to have known that. I don’t know what that is. Maybe it’s just that I’m Jewish.
BEN FELDMANRead! Study never stops because publications never stop coming in. It’s read and study. And think about what you’re studying. Take it apart and put it together. Ask ‘why?’ And know the answers.
