Freedom

At HBW, we offer Real Hope, Real Opportunity, Real Freedom for Real People! This is not just a motto, this is a way of life, an approach to everything we believe and do. I was recently thrilled to discover that Winston Churchill, from a speech at Royal Albert Hall in London on May 14, 1947 said “All the greatest things are simple, and may be expressed in a single word: Freedom: Justice: Honour: Duty: Mercy: Hope.”

For me personally, my highest value is Freedom. The desire to be free to live the life you choose, to become whatever you are capable of, to pursue the dreams that move your soul, this is what is worth fighting for. To be in an environment that restricts this freedom in any way causes great anxiety for me, personally. Even as an employer, we give our folks tremendous latitude believing that if someone needs management, they are probably in the wrong place. In other words, we value other people’s freedom as much as we do our own.

This same concept of freedom permeates our entire organization at HBW. Our associates understand that they have the latitude to build their businesses in an environment suited to their goals and desires, whether as a great personal producer, organizational builder or both, all within a non-captive environment with multiple cariers, companies and businesses under the HBW umbrella. While we understand that “the first step to greatness is total commitment”, it is each person’s responsibility and privilege to decide what their goal of greatness is and how they want to accomplish that goal.
