Selling a Business[2:27]A business might experience a wide range of events. Thus, the first reason to sell a business is to protect against the unknown.[5:16]If you're holding on to your business for your kids, they don't want it. According to research, just 2% of businesses effectively transition from one generation to the next because the children don't want it, aren't qualified for it, or don't know how.Private Equity Company[10:04]The environment of acquisitions goes from the least appealing company, which has the most risk, is an owner-operated company.[11:17]When you work in private equity, businesses across all industries with revenues above $10 million and profits over $2 million are usually acquired for 15.4 times profits. Simply increasing the company's profitability and sales will enable it to attract customers of a different class.[16:37]They also frequently employ another tactic known as a roll-up. A roll-up means that we'll buy a ton of businesses, some of which may be competitors and others which may not. Seven different categories make up the acquisitions.Importance Of Having A Mentor Or a Coach[21:28]People that attempt to accomplish this on their own will probably receive a reasonable offer. However, you can double the worth of the offer if you are familiar with the procedure. When you've never sold a company before, for instance, negotiating a deal with a private equity firm that has a staff that specializes in negotiations is like entering a gunfight with a knife.[24:19]People need to think about the process they could go through to fully optimize the value of their company.[27:32]Exiting without proper guidance, especially dealing with a tax liability, can cost you so much. For example, If you have a tax that costs 30 percent, and you exited with $100 million, you are going to pay a whopping $30 million.[32:31]Many people are unaware that most companies, particularly private equity firms, just desire one thing from a company. However, there may be valuable assets in the company that are valuable on an ongoing basis or have independent value over the income from this particular object that the company has to sell.[40:17]If you don't know what you're doing, get the expert. Don't let your ego get in the way of getting a full value.Now Is The Time To Make an Acquisition[42:06]Because everything is on sale, now is the best time to consider acquiring. When people are uncertain, the multiples will be most advantageous to you. But don't feel predatory because you're supporting them in getting what they want.[45:33]There are two ways to approach a company or a competitor: direct and indirect. But the best approach will be direct.[51:19]To determine which company to acquire, remember that the market influences multiples in terms of what is popular. So you'll see that some items become popular and others fall out of favor.Psychology of Human Beings[1:01:36]At the end of the day, a human being is a human being. There's always a human being behind the decisions. And the psychology of human beings is wild, whether it's their ego or pride.___You can follow Roland on his socials:Facebook | Instagram | Linkedin | Twitter 

Tommy's Background[2:32]Tommy is the president of Prime Corporate Services. They've been in business for 10 years and has helped over 100,000 entrepreneurs structure their business.[3:51]They concentrate on entity structuring issues like asset protection, tax minimization from a structure perspective, business credit development, creating a separate credit profile for your business, tax preparation, tax filing, and general estate planning.Avoiding Probate[6:21]People frequently claim a will in place, which is fantastic but expensive and time-consuming. And in most states, avoiding that probate is done by having a living trust.[9:03]Do a Google search on how to avoid probate in the state where you live or own property, regardless of where you are. Whatever the scale, it all depends on how the state will intervene. If the documentation needs to be set up, it could usually result in fortunes and real estate.Benefits of Privacy[14:05]Privacy protects yourself and your loved ones because you don't want people to know where your home is.Numbers of Property in One LLC[20:11]There is no one right answer, but you can try to weigh your risk tolerance. If you have 100 doors, you care a lot less about one door than if you have five doors. Find out what your assets and liabilities are. You can choose the appropriate number of doors per LLC once you understand what that looks like.Make Meaningful Moves[25:55]To move fast and make decisions quickly and accurately, when on the call, help them understand where you are currently. Inform them of your new status if applicable. If you have a lot of different entities, let them know who each entity is owned by and what you use it for on a daily, monthly, or annual basis so they can advise you on what needs to be changed, eliminated, or completely restructured.Tax Strategy[30:55]Investing in a tax strategy is a huge component of building more wealth. It is not a cost but a strategic and logical investment in protecting wealth. The single biggest wealth extraction event in your life over and over will be taxed. And getting ahead of this in a meaningful way is so powerful.[36:43]Most people need to take advantage of all the available opportunities to strategically buy real estate, insurance policies, and other things to avoid paying taxes.[46:16]The typical business owner squanders about $9,000 annually. As you produce more wealth, that number increases so quickly. Thus, you will succeed if you have a team to assist you or educate yourself about investments that will benefit you from a tax perspective._______________________________________________________Follow Kent on Socials!Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/kentclothierTik Tok: http://www.TokTok.com/@KentClothier_______________________________________________________Go to https://www.primecorporateservices.com/ to start creating a tax strategy to protect your wealth and future.You can also follow Tommy and Prime Corporate Services on their socials:Facebook | Instagram

Entrepreneurs are Visionaries[10:50]Trevor believes that often, entrepreneurs are the visionaries or quickstarts—once they go into operation mode, they get bored. He doesn't want that to happen to his company, and thus, he ensures to innovate to make the business exciting for him again.[11:22]Trevor shares a great story about his client scaling his business from zero to millions.Delegating Duties[13:00]When you earn millions, Trevor explained that you need to have a delegating strategy on things you don't want to be actively doing. He further explained that things get harder on this part where, without someone to delegate the task, and you do it hands-on, you get distracted and burn out.Entrepreneur Freedom Formula[16:04]Trevor explained the entrepreneur freedom formula and how it is the core model of his company. The entrepreneur freedom formula centers around building a business of freedom and impact. He argued that being a lifestyle business is not bad for a period of time, and it's all about what you have in the plan after it. That's where the entrepreneur freedom formula kicks in.[18:17]Hustling and grinding is not long-term business strategy. Trevor explained that people should always remember it because “gears grinding for a period of time whittle and break down.” He further elaborated that even if you start earning good money and you enjoy them, it's still incomplete without the true purpose of why you are doing it in the first place.Vision Story[24:37]Trevor shared his Vision Story and why it matters. His vision story highlighted the importance of having to look so far ahead. Looking 20 years ahead is excellent for him to answer questions like, “What is my role? Am I still in business? What am I doing at that point?”[31:14]Trevor explains that entrepreneurs frequently run away from the businesses they grew. Either because they don't like it, they hit the income ceiling, or they believe they are incapable of achieving something big. However, when you obtain consistent profit, you start running towards something new.[32:14]The bigger your goals, the longer the runway that vision needs to be. You lose the runway when you start losing that motivation and energy to move forward. That's where the entrepreneur freedom formula comes in. What do you need to delegate to buy back your time to get more energy?[33:45]Figure out what gives you that purpose and build a consistently profitable business based on a good marketing strategy. Build that team, buy back your time, and start embedding the purpose of your business. Through it, you'll lengthen the runway every three to five years.Conclusion[36:40]Trevor explained the benefits of joining a mastermind. You have access and the privilege to talk to someone who's three-step ahead and behind you. You'll have a bird's eye view of where you are currently as an entrepreneur. Talk to people who bought their time back through the entrepreneur freedom formula and see how you can employ it in your business to move a step forward to success.Links:Kent ClothierInstagram: http://www.Instagram.com/kentclothierTik Tok: http://www.TikTok.com/@kentclothierJoin The boardroom Mastermind: http://www.Theboardroommastermind.comTrevor MuchLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/getcarrot/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevormauch/Website: https://www.trevormauch.com/  https://carrot.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/tmauchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetrevormauchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/trevor.mauch/

Vinnie Fisher: CEO. Lawyer. Husband. Dad. Fun fact: 70% of Billionaires have created their wealth from recession rebounds.

Trevor Mauch: CEO of CarrotFalling asleep behind the wheel and nearly sending your family hurling off the side of a cliff... No, that's not a scene from a Hollywood blockbuster, that was the real life wake-up call for our next guest, Trevor Mauch. Long, exhaustive hours come with the territory of being an entrepreneur, but at a certain point, you have to ask; is your business supporting you or are you supporting it? Are you building a LIFE for you and your loved ones, or just an income? Kent and Trevor strap in for an "energy audit" to measure your drain/give ratios, and also discuss whether or not it's time to fire...yourself? Best of luck with that exit interview.

Jeff Fenster: Founder and CEO of EverbowlJust about everyone who opens a restaurant has had experience in the industry. If 9 out of 10 restaurants fail, why is "experience" placed on such a high pedestal as a prerequisite? Jeff Fenster isn't buying it, and never has.

From payroll companies, to restaurants and even construction companies, Jeff is a serial entrepreneur that forges success through jumping in and figuring it out as he goes along.

Billy Gene: Master of MarketingPretend for a second that your business is a sailboat. Your sailboat has lost some momentum because of a sudden shift in the winds (pandemic). You can see a clearing in the distance and there appears to be a strong wind up ahead, but you're not sure you can make it. You have a few options: 1. You can adjust your sail in hopes of catching a draft; 2. You can cut your sail and call it quits. In this example, your sail is your marketing. Cutting your sail ensures you are dead in the water. The 3rd option is our good friend, Billy Gene, who just happens to be cruising through this episode on a yacht with a sale on sails. True to his nature, you have a problem, and he has the solution. That's marketing. That's Billy Gene. 

Marshall Sylver: Hypnotist. Author. Motivational speaker. Get out of your own head. Ironic advice from a guy who makes his living getting into yours...

Not too shabby for a kid who grew up living in a chicken coop, huh? In this episode, a true master of mindset explains precisely what you should, or should not, be focused on.   

Ed Mylett: Entrepreneurial elite  8 days a week was not enough for The Beatles; it's a shame they never knew there are actually 21...IF you're Ed Mylet. With a run time of 24 minutes, this is the shortest episode to date, and it certainly isn't for lack of substance or content. Ed is recognized as one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world, and if you want his time, you've got 2 minutes, 8 minutes or a max of 24. He's exact, he's precise and his ability to "shrink time" makes him impossibly productive in the eyes of a competitor. 

Frank Shamrock: The first UFC Middleweight Champion. If you thought our circle (or in this case, ring) was limited to real estate and business types, guess again.

In addition to being a champ, he was also a talent spokesman for the UFC itself, where he pitched his passion and helped to turn the UFC into a billion dollar industry. However, the ascent to glory was anything but a rosy ride to the top. Frank's journey originally started out in a different kind of cage, one with armed guards and three square meals a day...

Drew Canole: Founder of Organifi. For Drew Canole, leadership is about everything beyond what meets the eye. For starters, his executive corner office isn't on the highest floor in the tallest tower. He doesn't shout commands from a high-backed leather chair, flanked by rich mahogany furniture...In fact, he doesn't even have an office. Whereas typical founders of companies fancy themselves as modern day kings, Drew drives the culture of his company through a deep understanding of human nature. He will be the first to tell you that he doesn't have all of the answers, which is why he and his leadership team have read over 1,000 books together. Leadership, as he explains, is an energy. 

Patrick Precourt: Industry leader in personal development coaching, marketing, business development, speaking and a master of sales and leadership.What separates you from a goal can be boiled down to: action vs inaction. No one likes to come up short of a goal, but most of what keeps people from achieving a desired outcome is caused by a fear-induced paralysis. Relying on neurochemistry and some good old fashioned perseverance, our discussion with Patrick highlights the necessary ACTION of taking back control of your thoughts, which will prove to be the single-greatest step toward achieving your goals.

Lori Taylor: Direct response copywriter.  If you've ever watched celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay audit a restaurant, you know it can be brutal to witness, as failing restaurants and their owners are exposed to Ramsay's unrelenting standards.

In this episode, Lori Taylor goes full on Gordon Ramsay and serves up exactly what you should understand about your company's fundamentals, all the way down to the cents...and just as there are no good excuses in an episode of Kitchen Nightmares, your excuses are no good here either. If personal responsibility and accountability are not for you, Lori is not your girl.

Perry Belcher: Digital marketing legend. Kellogg's. Starbucks. Netflix. All household names that owe their brand recognition to economic downturns.

Chris Naugle: America's #1 money mentor. You've been taught your entire life to give up control of your money. All the while, that hard earned money is being utilized to create unimaginable wealth that you will never see. If your 401K was explained to you in those terms, would you think twice about making those monthly contributions? What's more, the comparatively small return you do make, could all be gone in a single downturn day. Kent and Chris let you in on their chat and it is likely the single most important conversation on money advice you have ever heard. 

Aaron Pimpis: Virtual real estate wholesaler. These times are truly unprecedented.

Frank Kern: Internet marketing consultant. Copywriter extraordinaire. According to Forbes, internet usage has surged by 50 to 70 percent amidst the Covid-19 epidemic. Coupled with a year-over-year decline in "traditional media"consumption, such as TV, the question becomes...Where are you spending your advertising dollars?

Frank gives it to you straight and explains why advertising and brand building has never been cheaper or more profitable. When all eyes are on the internet, the only thing stopping a great idea is bad marketing. 

Roland Frasier: CEO of War Room Mastermind. Many businesses and business owners are understandably frozen in fear because of market uncertainty. However, utilizing such incentives such as the government's PPP, Kent and Roland explain how they are scaling their businesses during what they have deemed to be an "artificial recession". Rather than shrink in fear, you can set yourself up for a "recession rebound" using government stimulus funds available to you right now. High supply with low demand and suppressed pricing, all mixed together with a dash of creativity, means a big payout for you. 

Dan Fleyshman: Marketing master. Branding genius.   Whatever you are looking to buy is on sale this summer and a massive boom is on the horizon. Now that I have your attention, why are you reading this? Likely, because you are interested in knowing what will be on sale and you don't want to miss out on those opportunities. I have shared with you a valuable piece of information that you are interested in, and that is exactly what Dan is all about. In order to gain interest in a marketing message, you must offer compelling content that is interesting, sharable and informative. Traditional posts about your "showing this coming weekend" are stale, predictable and ineffective. As an entrepreneur, your job is to interrupt patterns and cut through the mundane, which is exactly what this episode is all about. Oh, and as for those summer sales and that boom...they are happening and we'll tell you when and where you need to be to capitalize.

Mikey Taylor: Pro Skateboarder kickflips into commercial real estate investor.For a professional skateboarder, fear and risk are as constant as the forces of gravity.

Amidst the current Covid climate, Kent and Mikey discuss preparing to drop-in and “go big” on rare opportunities where others bail.
