I moved to Malta, recruited 74 salesmen, and sold more insurance every month on that island of 300,000 people, than Canada Life does in the twelve most western states of America today.

Here's Mother and me on the walls of Mdina, where I rented a house which had been built by the Normans in 1042 and lived in by Queen Isabella of Spain.

Bernie moved me to Ireland... even better results; then to London. We formed an independent British life insurance company and after seven years, my team was selling $25 million a month - equal to the largest insurance company in Britain. In those days a chauffeur cost less than $50 a week so I had a pretty comfortable life.
