Most of what conventional financial planners tell entrepreneurs about how to grow and protect their wealth is crap. Okay, so that's not a very polite thing to say. But it's painfully true. Otherwise savvy small business owners can be totally stupid when it comes to trusting their money and investment strategies to others. That is a sermon that Garrett B. Gunderson - who became a multi-millionaire before age 27 - has been preaching from coast-to-coast business pulpits for years and is a core concept in his New York Times groundbreaking bestseller, Killing Sacred Cows. Garrett, an educator and financial advocate, is the force behind The Freedom FastTrack, a go-against-the-grain process of building and protecting your wealth that defies conventional wisdom, yet produces extraordinary results. On this week's special edition of Business Unconventional, Garrett unloads on commission-obsessed financial planners and explains why chasing interest rates will never produce the phenomenal wealth that comes when you chase your life's soul purpose. Garrett Gets Paid A Fortune As An In-Demand Corporate Speaker and Small Business Consultant... But His Weekly "Freedom FastTrack Intelligence Brief" Won't Cost You A Dime As a Business Unconventional listener, you can receive a free, trial subscription to Garrett B. Gunderson’s Freedom FastTrack Intelligence Brief - keeping you on the cutting edge of personal and professional financial success in less than 10 minutes a week. Simply visit www.FreedomFastTrack.com/intelligencebrief and enter code: "MMR 01". Those who don't listen to Business Unconventional will just have to fork over hard cash to receive Garrett's most-exclusive insights.

Roy H. Williams points to Wisconsin's largest diamond and diamond engagement ring jeweler, Kesslers Diamonds, as an example of a company that caught the Pendulum at the right time and really succeeded from understanding how the Pendulum operates. Kesslers Diamonds is owned by Richard Kessler. This is Part Three of Four. Roy advises listeners and readers of his new book, Pendulum, to stay away from "Me" advertising and instead make a connection with customers and prospects by speaking about something that both seller and buyer care about. In the case of Kesslers Diamonds, that "something" was the fight against breast cancer. Roy is interviewed by B. Unconventional hosts Dean Rotbart and David Biondo.
