Built for Life Financial Agency Launches June 3 with Chain-Cutting Ceremony to Redefine Trust, Ownership, and Legacy in Finance
Annapolis, Maryland – Built for Life Financial Agency (BFL), the new independent firm founded by retired Navy Chief and bestselling author Bill Korman, is officially launching June 3 at 6:30 PM with a powerful public chain-cutting ceremony at 147 Old Solomons Island Rd., Annapolis, MD 21401. The event marks the start of a bold national movement to help individuals break free from financial confusion and reclaim ownership of their time, money, and legacy. According to Gallup's 2024 institutional trust survey, only 26% of Americans express confidence in banks. With U.S. household debt reaching a record $17.5 trillion, Korman believes financial systems need a complete overhaul. Built for Life Financial Agency (BFL) is more than a traditional firm—it is a people-first, purpose-driven platform rooted in education, personalization, and long-term alignment. After years of operating under a corporate umbrella, BFL is now fully independent and free to serve families without restrictions. At the heart of the agency's philosophy is The 168 Game©, Korman's time ownership framework that helps individuals align their 168 weekly hours with their morals, values, and principles. 'Most people live paycheck to paycheck because unless they have been shown, they've never had the opportunity to truly own their time and their money—until now,' says Korman. BLF's vision is to be the #1 Company in the World that everyone compares themselves to regarding being the gold standard that other businesses and organizations aspire to and measure themselves against. BFL's approach is already making a difference. An early BFL client, Nancy Brace, shared, 'Built for Financial Agency is an agency with high integrity and quality agents. We have been extremely pleased with their professionalism and how they put the client's needs first. We were amazed at how they can help with so many areas of life, from savings to retirement to college planning and so much more. I am so thankful we were referred to them.' The June 3 launch event will feature a dramatic chain-cutting ceremony instead of the traditional ribbon-cutting, symbolizing freedom from financial bondage and legacy-limiting systems. The celebration will include live demonstrations of The 168 Game©, guest remarks, and on-site opportunities to sign up for free consultations and giveaways or to apply to join BFL's expanding national team. Confirmed speakers include community leaders, veterans, and financial literacy and equity advocates. BFL is more than a financial agency—it is a growing network of culturally attuned leaders. Korman, a first-generation American, is recruiting multilingual agents nationwide to better serve underserved communities. 'This isn't about translation. It's about transformation. We meet families where they are and empower them with the knowledge, respect, and clarity they've been denied for far too long,' Korman says. Built for Life Financial Agency offers consulting, insurance solutions, legacy, and retirement planning. Additionally, Korman provides technology support through Visionary Flow Solutions, its artificial intelligence (AI), development of business intelligence hubs, and CRM Systems. Korman says, 'The mission transcends transactions. We are more than a financial agency,' says Korman. 'We are a global movement helping people reclaim their time, take ownership of their wealth, and leave a legacy that outlives them.'

The 168 Game: Retired Navy Chief Bill Korman Declares the Death of Time Management to the Rise of Time Ownership
Centreville, May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Centreville, Maryland - In a world obsessed with hustle culture, time hacks, and burnout-inducing calendars, retired Navy Chief and financial strategist Bill Korman calls for a timeout—and a total mindset reset. His groundbreaking methodology, described in the book and app The 168 Game: Time Ownership vs. Time Management, flips the script on conventional productivity advice by challenging readers to stop managing time and start owning it. "If you died tomorrow, would your calendar reflect your values—or someone else's priorities," asks Bill Korman. Instead of urging people to cram more into their days, Korman invites them to reclaim their 168 hours weekly and align every minute with what truly matters. "Time management isn't the problem," says Korman. "It's how we think about time. We all get 168 hours. The real question is—are you spending them in alignment with your morals, values, and principles, or just reacting to the chaos." According to a 2023 Gallup report, 44% of professionals feel 'always pressed for time.' Korman believes that's no coincidence: "That's because leaders are managing time, not owning it," he explains. This subtle but seismic distinction is at the heart of The 168 Game. At its core lies Korman's signature MVP framework—Morals, Values, and Principles—a guiding system for designing a life that reflects personal truth, not external pressure. Drawing from his military discipline, business leadership, and family life, he delivers a pragmatic yet heartfelt roadmap for creating work-life harmony, not just balance. Korman's approach is already changing lives. Business coach Mike Mastrangelo shared, "Before being introduced to Bill Korman and the 168 Game, I was prioritizing my schedule instead of scheduling my priorities." That shift—simple in concept, transformative in impact—makes The 168 Game more than another productivity book. Recently featured on "Surviving the Side Hustle: Achieving True Success with Prime Performance" with Rob Tracz, Korman continues to share his message with high-performing professionals who are tired of grinding and ready to realign. His mission is to help people not only take back their calendars but also reclaim their clarity, presence, and purpose. Echoing the more profound philosophy behind the book, The 168 Game invites readers to rise above the noise and own time with intention. As Napoleon Hill wrote, "A genius is simply one who has taken full possession of his mind and directed it toward objectives of his choosing, without permitting outside influences to discourage or mislead him." That's precisely the mindset Korman is championing. The 168 Game is more than a book and an app—it's a movement for professionals, corporate executives, entrepreneurs, parents, and purpose-driven individuals ready to stop spinning their wheels and start living with conviction. Includes access to The 168 Game App and Bill Korman's resources at — helping readers diagnose the real use of time. "Start owning time before it starts owning you," says Korman. Reserve a copy now at About Bill Korman Bill Korman is a retired Navy Chief and Financial and Time Strategist who helps people regain control of their time, money, and mindset. After hitting rock bottom in bankruptcy court, he rebuilt his life, led over 760 agents in the financial world, and launched his company, Built for Life Financial Agency. He created The 168 Game to help everyday people stop wasting time and start aligning their schedules with their Morals, Values, and Principles. Bill doesn't teach time management—he teaches ownership. His message resonates with anyone feeling stuck, burned out, or ready to reclaim their life.
