The creation of this publishing company began when studying for a life insurance licensing exam. The curriculum was so poorly written and designed, and the subject was so boring, it seemed the only way to get a first time pass was organizing the subject as if it were a commercial client account. To begin with the question was, what would I want to study with? How would I like to review and learn this kind of material? From that study experience, the three basic design components of Visual Quick Notes™–Global Indexing, Mindmaps, and Story Content now seen in the books today – were developed.

When I finished the life insurance exam, I remember sitting in my little cubicle staring at the "Finish" button on the monitor... Will I have disappointment or relief? I clicked it, and the score on the screen flashed ... 86!!!! I had passed! The attendant, who checked me out of the restricted area, awarded the test pass document, saying, "Oh, you have a good score!" I was so happy I passed, I didn't pay much attention to the score at that time, realizing only later how effective the visuals were in choosing correct answers.

In going through this process I was impressed by how many people in the financial industry take this exam and how many take it more than once. These are expensive exams, fees being assessed each time. It's either the company who pays or the individual and it all adds up to a lot. States have laws about the number of times someone can repeat the exam and the amount of time between each attempt. For someone who wants to get to the job of being a productive insurance producer as soon as possible this can be a serious set back. Sometimes peoples' jobs depend on it. Providing my notes via formal book or eStudy seemed a good thing to do for everyone.

My mission to get a first time pass on an exam inspired a publishing company. Max WISE Publications uses proven ways to absorb data quickly, enabling students to advance at a faster rate with less time and energy lost. Now, celebrating the natural desire to learn and with respect for intelligence we provide test prep materials that make absorbing new information easy and quick.
