However, these adaptations often impose substantial residual limitation, preventing us from reaching our full potential and leaving us with considerable dysfunction and distress.So today, he's dedicated to sharing his compassionate approach to Personal Mastery with as many people as possible in order to help others uncover their immense and innate capacity.Visit https://roddycarter.com/vip to get a free gift

Back for a  Second appearance, Andrew Henderson, the Nomad Capitalist...Are you living where you're treated best?That's the question that the founder of NomadCapitalist.com, Andrew Henderson asks himself and his clients.If you're a location independent entrepreneur and ever wondered what it might be like to live in different countries around the world, or just another country that offers more flexibility, freedom, lifestyle and less confiscatory taxation, you're going to want to listen to this episizzle all the way through.What does it mean to be treated best?According to Andrew, the USA has the best “Brand” in the world, but that doesn't mean it has the best “product,” especially for some people. The USA is a wonderful place in many respects, but depending on your socio-economic status it could be a nightmare compared to your options.And explaining the options is what Andrew does best.For instance, some people with lower incomes and savings could afford a much more comfortable lifestyle or retirement in a developing country where the cost of living is a fraction of the USA. On the other end of the spectrum, those with high incomes and wealth can also avoid the increasingly confiscatory taxation of the US and the other countries in the developed world.The adventures and lifestyle you can create by understanding your options can open up a whole new world.This is a topic I've personally given a lot of thought to and today you'll hear me selfishly ask Andrew questions I want to know for potential moves I might make.

Ever imagine what it would be like to own a second home (or two) in an international resort or vacation location?Would you want to buy it to live in a country with a lower cost of living while enjoying the high life of a condo on the beach?Would you rent it out and cash in on high yields in high demand locales?Would you do a combination of both? Live there for a few months and rent it out the rest of the year?This has been an investment strategy I've recently been pursuing and I invited the founder of Real Estate Trend Alert (RETA), Ronan McMahon on the show today to discuss how his company provides the information, tools and access to deeply discounted deals before they're presented to the public.Ronan McMahon is editor of Real Estate Trend Alert (RETA) and a global real estate scout. He spends six months of every year on the road, finding and negotiating opportunities to buy low and make serious profit from capital appreciation, rental income, or a mixture of both.He does this both for his own personal real estate portfolio and for members of Real Estate Trend Alert. Only RETA get details of the best deals he finds worldwide—in Latin America, Europe, and Asia.One of his biggest strengths is identifying markets that are due for an upswing in values—but where other investors aren’t looking yet.I am a paying subscriber to their service and use it to educate myself on the possibilities of investing and potentially living overseas and I've gotten tremendous value from their resources.But in addition to the education, Ronan and his team scour these countries and leverage their relationships with established developers to create incredible deals on pre-development real estate in what Ronan calls “the path of progress.”Ronan also has a brilliant business model because he travels the world looking at real estate opportunities and leverages the RETA membership to secure these discounted investment properties, while sharing in the revenue from the developers.It's a win-win-win situation.Developers win because they receive a surge of demand and pre-sales for the properties they want to develop, thus de-risking their investmentRETA member-investors win because the economies of scale from the RETA membershipsRonan and his team win because they get paid for providing valuable deals and connecting investors with developers.In this episode episizzle you'll hear me satisfy my own selfish curiosity (as always) but it will also get your wheels turning about how you might be able to create a profitable business by matching up supply with demand.And if you're interested in learning more about Real Estate Trend Alert, visit https://internationalliving.com/real-estate and get his free report: 15 Best Places to Invest in Real Estate in 2021.

Tax strategy can be a very dry discussion for most entrepreneurs. After all, we love creating new dollars, marketing and growth strategies which make it rain.But if you have a leaky bucket, all the rain will drain to the ground and you'll be left with a lot less than you made.But what if there were a way to reduce taxes or even eliminate them altogether the way many Fortune 500 companies do it?There is a way, in fact there are dozens of ways and strategies that are perfectly legal yet often ignored.That's why I invited Steve Moskowitz on the show today to discuss little-known strategies to help avoid (not evade) taxes.This is less of an interview and more of a conversation where you'll hear me ask specific situational examples that will show what's possible as well as how Steve thinks.If you're on the fence about this episode, wondering if the topic will be too dry to listen to, stop and give it a chance.Because if you're in business now you could be missing a lot of money you could be owed now as well as paying a lot that you could avoid.To contact Steve visit https://moskowitzllp.com or call 888-TAX-DEALOther resources mentioned in the show.https://moskowitzllp.com/tax-lawyer-blog/https://moskowitzllp.com/leaving-california-and-the-franchise-tax-board-behind-a-little-qa-on-california-exit-planning/About Steve MoskowitzSteve started Moskowitz LLP because he saw that while big corporations were consistently navigating the tax code to their advantage, smaller businesses and individuals were not. With prior experience as a CPA at a national accounting firm, and with extensive experience in the corporate world, Steve knew he could help smaller businesses and individuals by applying what he knew. He wanted to make a critical difference in businesses and individual lives that protected them from the powerful government and enabled them to keep and enjoy the fruits of a lifetime of work that otherwise could be taken away from clients by the government in just one action.Today – together with a full team of tax attorneys, CPAs, enrolled agents and other professional staff – Moskowitz LLP helps business and individual clients across the country and overseas to resolve a wide variety of tax matters. The Moskowitz LLP team also creates strategies to utilize the tax code and relevant treaties to clients’ benefit, and provides ongoing tax support and tax return preparation.

Many entrepreneurs and founders have recently realized that it makes more sense to buy a business than to build one from scratch. I like to think of this as the next evolution of skillsets for any entrepreneur because it helps you achieve inorganic and often exponential growth. On the other side, selling a business can be a massively impactful decision to any business owner's future and making sure you do it right is critical.That's why I invited Domenic Rinaldi on the show to talk about his experience in working directly with both buyers and sellers to help them navigate a complex transaction.Meet Domenic RinaldiAs owner and managing partner of Sun Acquisitions, and K2Adviser.com Domenic helps his clients both buy and sell businesses across a variety of industries.Since 2005 he’s been personally involved in over 300 transactions for businesses with enterprise values of $2 million to $50 million.In this episode we discussThe real risks that buyers and sellers face in the process of buying or selling a businessStrategies to prepare well before a purchase or a sale.How Private Equity (PE) groups are now dipping down into the small business market in their search for acquisition targetsWhich sectors are the hottest for sellers and PEAnd what to do if you're thinking about buying or selling now or in the near futureYou can get more information from Domenic by emailing him directly at domenic@k2adviser.com

Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin investing is NOT an area I understand well... yet. A few years back I placed about $5k into some coins and watched them go up and then back down. For the most part I ignored it.

We are in the middle of a pivotal moment for business owners, consumers and entire countries.There's a lot of confusion about what to do, what to avoid and how to pivot.In this short episode I reveal a few things I'm doing, how I'm helping my clients and 4 Case Studies Why You Shouldn't Cut Back on Marketing During An Economic Downturn...Dry Cereal:In the 1920’s, Post was the category leader in the ready-to-eat cereal category. During the Great Depression, Post cut back significantly its advertising budget and rival Kellogg’s doubled its advertising spend, investing heavily in radio and introducing a new cereal called Rice Krispies, featuring “Snap,” “Crackle” and “Pop.” Kellogg’s profits grew by 30% and the company became the category leader, a position it has maintained for decades.Imported Automobiles:The 17-month recession of 1973-75 was triggered by the energy crisis. In late 1973, the U.S. government issued its first miles-per-gallon report in which Toyota Corolla was second to Honda Civic in fuel efficiency. Since Toyota was experiencing strong sales, when the economic downturn hit, the temptation was to drop their ad budget, which they resisted. By adhering to its long-term strategy, Toyota surpassed Volkswagen as the top imported carmaker in the U.S. by 1976.Quick Service Restaurants:In the 1990-91 recession, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell took advantage of McDonald’s decision to drop its advertising and promotion budget. As a result, Pizza Hut increased sales by 61%, Taco Bell sales grew by 40% and McDonald’s sales declined by 28%.Technology:Amazon sales grew by 28% in 2009 during the “great recession.” The tech company continued to innovate with new products during the slumping economy, most notably with new Kindle products which helped to grow market share. In a first, on Christmas Day 2009, Amazon customers bought more e-books than printed books. As a result, in the minds of consumers, Amazon became an innovative company by introducing a lower cost alternative to cash-strapped consumers.ADDITIONALLY...If you're interested to see how I'm helping my clients use this time right now to build audiences and double down on authentic, intimate connection, email at askbrad@baconwrappedbusiness.com and use subject line: "build an audience" to let me know.Good luck out there, stay safe and stay inside.
