The Question! How Will You Build Wealth Through Your Business?   This is a question that very few business owners actually ask themselves when they buy or start a business. But it's a critical question. It certainly can change as time goes on in business changes, but it does create a focus for the business owner as to how they will build wealth.  Business owners don't enter the entrepreneurial world to have a pleased to go, a position, and a possible salary.   They become entrepreneurs for the purpose of building wealth for the future. That being said,  it's a legitimate question to ask.    Today. I'm gonna cover the two ways of creating wealth with an option of a third way.   Thomas J.

“Unlocking Your Business Wealth? Brian is a specialist in business growth. He is extremely passionate about helping business owners build wealth in their business so they can become financially independent in the future and enjoy the lifestyle financial freedom brings. Many business owners run their business with the focus on personal income, and the freedom of time.  However, the business can also be a valuable financial asset worth much more than the salary being earned.  Business wealth is an asset that can create financial independence for the business owner. Many business owners also put too much wealth in their business and when they wish to use this equity find it difficult to get out, or extremely expensive to get out. In many cases, it can be lost due to the market and elements of the business environment.  In this book, Brian discusses the building of business wealth and the opportunities it creates. Each chapter is a steppingstone to create business wealth. A great short read, and necessary if you are an entrepreneur.  Brian discusses parts of the book, how it will help you grow your business and help you to avoid the traps that you may experience in your business life. To Contact Brian: 860) 303-8929 mobileEmail Brian:  bkerrigan@taylorfoleylaw.com to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your results and lay the foundation for your future success.

Business Owner's May Think They Know the Value of Their Company, But Statistics Say Differently! Over the years, I have heard the expression, “business owner knows their business better than anyone”.  That might be true in some respects, however, when it comes to knowing the accurate value of their company, statistics would disagree.    In many cases, owners use “a rule of thumb”,  valuation method, advocated by industries, associations, or organizations.  “Rules of thumb”,  are not necessarily accurate as each business has its own set of metrics, method of management,  statistics, and other value drivers that come into play when a company is appraised.  Statistically,  90% of the buy and sell agreements have flaws, along with a flawed valuation, causing business owners to sell their businesses for less than the maximum potential  business value.   In this podcast  we have two of the best  with a long history of specializing in the area of valuations and buy and sell agreements.   With us is Paul Hood and Ed Pratesi   two of the best in the industry share their vast experience in working with companies both on the valuation side  of the business and the construction of a solid Buy and Sell Agreement, avoiding disagreements and  litigation.  L.

Tom discusses the 2nd part of the planning process for business owners which is missingIn most businesses.  It's the “DESIGNED PLAN”, OR what Tom calls his GWT Business Plan. Most business owners' initial plan is the “Action Plan”.  This is the plan that gets their product or service to market to create cash flow and profits. It's the exciting plan, a plan that most entrepreneurs love.  However, the planning process which makes the business grow and profitable, along with other factors such as time freedom, great wealth, and expansion is basically left to chance. This is the Detail Plan, or GWT Business Plan. Learn about this planning system to help you implement another part of your planning that will determine the future of your business' success.  Tom Perrone, CLU, CIC, Author, Podcast Host, and President New England Consulting Group of Guilford, Inc.Helping business owners have awareness and avoid costly mistakes! 203 530 6615www.bpbpgrp.comwww.yourbusinessworth.com tperrone@necgginc.com

Blink of An Eye!Your "Lifetime Of Efforts" wasted and lost in the blink of an eye.  No succession planning  to continue your business, or extract the value of your business.   No way of building the greatest and most potential value of your business.  Tom speaks of his personal situation with his dad's business.   He discusses the effects on his family, especially his mom.  His 50+ years of experience helps him explain his passion of helping business owners get this part of their business completed.  The dichotomy is that business owners spend all their time starting, building and growing their business, but don't spend the time to create the plan  when the business must end because of  retirement, death, become disabled, or just need to get out of the business because they had it.    www.yourbusinessworth.com

Unknown Ways You “Shipwreck” Your Business! This blog post is for the business owners who want to make sure their planning is solid and won't shipwreck their businesses, estates and legacy.  However, because of past experiences dealing with some professionals, their planning is incomplete, and they have put their financial planning on hold.  In summary, they are motivated to make sure they have good plans but are frustrated with the system of getting their planning efficiently completed.   Throughout my career I have often wondered why business owners put things off that should not be delayed, as the price of doing nothing can be very costly. Ask any attorney how many unsigned wills they have in their file cabinets and watch them roll their eyes.  Listen to my discussion with Bill about his business and estate and how we moved forward in planning and why!Tom Perrone is a 53 year veteran in the business, benefits and estate planning area.

Dana Broslovsky, co-owner of Alda Aesthetics Med Spa in Hanover, MA visited with us to share some ideas, strategies, and experiences in opening a business with her co-partner Alyssa D'Arcy about five and a half years ago.    Alda has grown considerably and when you consider they dealt with Covid as a new company, they have done extremely well.   Dana and Alyssa blend very nicely.  The two have separate talents that mesh and contribute to their success and is a large part of why they are growing consistently.  Soon they will be moving into a much larger location.   One of the great things about the company is that all the employees share the same value system. They love what they do, love the customers, and like learning more about their profession.  Dana and Alyssa treat the employees like family and enjoy creating a culture where the employees are growing in their profession, and love coming to work.   The fact that they survived Covid and reinvented themselves while going through it, gives them greater strength and knowledge as they continue their growth in business.  I especially loved their attitude about being an example for their families.  They can utilize their business ability, grow a company and still be there for their families.   This is a wonderful message about a group of women, working together for the greater cause, caring very much about their customers, and only wanting the best for them.  When I asked Dana, what distinguishes Alda from others, she quickly said, “we care more about our customers”.    You can reach Alda at (781) 826-5400AlDa Aesthetics 20 East Street Hanover, MA 02339about-alda

GREAT NEW BOOK BY  YOURS, Mine & OursBy: Paul Hood, JR.  JD. LLM.  CFRE, FCED A great honor to have on my podcast, Paul Hood, an extraordinary person. A wonderful technical author with over nine books, and many articles published.  His new book is a must read for professional planners, blended families, or anyone interested in arranging their estate properly.  The book is focused on the blended family, which is one of the only a few resources I have seen on this topic.  Paul has been writing about blended families for over 25 years.   Paul's passion is all about helping people determine the best estate plan that suits their needs and building that plan with a solid legal foundation.  As far as Paul feels, this is the best way to help people achieve their dreams while preserving relationships, peace, and prosperity through major life transitions. “When it comes to estate planning, people often think about wills, trusts, foundations, and family entities, in other words, the “bricks” of estate planning. The “bricks” are important, but even more important is the emotional infrastructure supporting those” bricks,” which really is the “mortar” of the estate plan. I've included a graphic description of the bricks and mortar of estate planning on this page to illustrate my point.” This is a wonderful book, and as far as I am concerned this is the “operational manual” to making sure you set up the right kind of estate planning.  You can reach Paul at www.paulhoodservices.comEmail: paul@paulhoodservices.com

Ever parent needs to read about about Dan's take on this area of working with the student athelet. “A great hockey player with mediocre grades complained to me that his parents were on top of him because ofhis grades (high 70's to low 80's). Having already spoken about college and ultimately the NHL I surprisedhim when I mentioned that the way I looked at it was that his parents did not make much of a difference. What REALLY made a difference, I pointed out, were the college coaches who would love to recruit him but werenot sure he could keep his grades up once in school.” On the podcast Dan shared with us some of his  strategies such as: Identify & Control Negative Self TalkNFL major distraction was negative self- talk…+ How we did it week by weekSometimes you hear it sometimes you don't50 yd in example + what he did [invisible]HP Ireland Example + what he did Tongue roof mouth Avoid at all cost telling yourself what you DON'T want to have happenNegative CommandsGiants/ patriots super bowl X 3Second time Prepare for CompetitionJET'S  Dave Herman & Bubba Smith Utilize Power VisualizationPerfect PracticeSuccess = persistence + ImaginationBest Saves VideosJody & Bad waterLast fight Recovery Quickly Dan Schaefer PhDFractional Psychological Strategist forBusiness & SportsPeak Performance Strategies LLC917-880-6758dan@danschaeferphd.comwww.DanSchaeferPhD.com/subscriptionwww.GolfAndTheMindGame.com
