Carl Barnowski Revolutionizes The Financial Services Industry Via An “Annuity Safe Zone”

PR Newswire Association LLC

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Long an influential, revolutionary force in the financial services industry via the creation of his trademarked concept of the "Annuity Safe Zone," Carl Barnowski, founder and CEO of the Barnowski Financial Group, cultivated his lifelong entrepreneurial spirit around age nine with a successful neighborhood landscaping business in his hometown of Schenectady, N.Y. He had no worries about money, had latitude in his schedule and, best of all, quickly realized his ultimate goal: to work for himself.

Years later, after a stint in the Army (82^nd Airborne Division, Ft. Bragg) and earning dual degrees in finance and marketing from Purdue, he had to detour from that plan of pure independence slightly, cutting his teeth in the financial and marketing industries working for others—nine months with a stock brokerage firm and a stint with a national marketing organization, assisting financial advisors in providing annuity based products.

Both were brief but crucial, knowledge and wisdom filled stepping stones on Barnowski's road to launching his own financial advisory firm in the early 90s.

"I learned two key things working for the stock firm that would inspire my later business endeavors," says Barnowski, who recently signed a contract to co-author a book with Steve Forbes entitled "Successonomics," due out in Spring 2014. Barnowski will contribute a chapter on the changing views of retirement and how the Baby Boomer generation is dealing with the stresses and challenges during this phase of their lives.

In 2002, after a relocation from Indianapolis to West Palm Beach, he founded Premier Annuity Source, LLC a media company whose sole purpose is to positively impact the financial industry by creating a safe, transparent and interactive environment for principal protected annuity contract holders to bond, interact and enjoy the security these products offer. Barnowski has since taken the Premiere Annuity source brand which was a media company and consolidated it under the Barnowski Financial Group retail brand.

The Barnowski Financial Group, established earlier in 2013, includes locations in Indianapolis (Barnowski Financial Group – Indianapolis), Palm Beach (Barnowski Financial Group – West Palm Beach), Sarasota, (Barnowski Financial Group – Sarasota), Kansas City, MO (Barnowski Financial Group – Kansas City) and Boise, ID (Barnowski Financial Group – Boise). The company will soon be expanding to Tampa, Scottsdale/Phoenix and Baltimore.

The incorporation of this new umbrella company has allowed him to further broaden the scope of his vision to serve the financial needs of individuals while also providing them with education and access to resources that would ensure their enjoyment of what he calls the "Four Biggies" that have been the foundation of his mission to help Baby Boomers for over 20 years: Good Health, Mobility, Socialization and Guaranteed Income For Life. Barnowski's long-range goal is to open 165 Barnowski Financial Group locations nationwide.

Barnowski Financial Group is perfectly suited for financial advisors who have extensive knowledge of their business but fall short when it comes to generating clientele. The company makes its mark via an extensive turnkey media package which saturates the financial advisor's geographic area, promotes an "annuity safe zone" and solves their sales volume problems. Barnowski's major selling point is that their constant hunt for clients is over. For a select few financial advisors and firms, Premier Annuity will implement radio, TV and print adds, print postcards and create billboards, websites and press releases.

The Barnowski Financial Group encourages their clients to participate in interactive client communities powered by social networks. The ultimate goal is to provide solutions through an extensive product portfolio for both client and agent, while assisting in the placement of agents in front of clients…not leads.

Barnowski's purpose is to transform the distribution of principal protected products by linking clients directly to top-rated insurance companies and each other, thereby offering quality annuity experts the opportunity to stop just selling products and start offering great solutions.

Barnowski says that his company's social media ties are designed encourage people to friend other clients from their locations throughout the country, so that they are building a national community – a kind of financial safe zone where the reps, products and clients are all safe and reputable.

"We're also gently educating people to ask the right questions of their financial advisors," he says. "From our 20 story view, we're trying to accomplish everything through all available media platforms."
