Many long-term real estate owners have experienced tremendous appreciation and consequential equity in their properties. This is a great boon, but as a result, they are generating very small returns on their equity, sometimes as little as 2%. For these people, exchanging their properties via 1031 exchanges is a great way to improve cash flow and to no longer have to manage day-to-day operations. Benjamin Carmona, Managing Partner at Perch Wealth, helps clients find upstream properties to exchange into in order to generate more income, defer taxes, and exit day-to-day real estate operations. 

In dieser Folge spreche ich darüber, ob eine Immobilie wirklich sofort Cashflow-positiv sein muss – oder ob negativer Cashflow vielleicht gar kein KO-Kriterium ist. Ich teile mit dir:

Der E-Auto-Pionier hat erneut enttäuscht: Der freie Cashflow ist um satte 89 Prozent eingebrochen, in elf der vergangenen zwölf Quartale blieb Tesla hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Die beiden Wirtschaftsjournalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz analysieren die Zahlen – und diskutieren kontrovers, ob Elon Musk das Ruder noch herumreißen kann oder die Aktie vor einem dramatischen Kursverfall steht. Weitere Themen: Politischer Budenzauber in Deutschland vorbei – Was die jüngsten Konjunkturindikatoren signalisieren Deutsche Bank mit bestem Ergebnis seit 2007 – was die Aktie jetzt noch kann Toxische Gewinnwarnung – warum die Puma-Aktie uninvestierbar ist DEFFNER & ZSCHÄPITZ sind wie das wahre Leben. Wie Optimist und Pessimist. Im wöchentlichen WELT-Podcast diskutieren und streiten die Journalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz über die wichtigen Wirtschaftsthemen des Alltags.

In business, we're taught that profit is the ultimate measure of success. But what if the numbers on your balance sheet are misleading? According to business finance expert Avi Pinsky, many businesses fail not because they're unprofitable, but because they run out of cash. In a recent podcast episode, he revealed the often-overlooked truth: positive cash flow is the foundation of a healthy, growing business. Avi calls cash flow the “sixth lever”—the one that holds the other five together. You can be great at generating leads and closing sales. Still, if you're not managing your receivables, forecasting your cash position, and separating "revenue" from "cash-in-the-bank," you're building on a house of cards. Avi's real-world examples demonstrate that a profitable company can fail without careful cash flow management.

This podcast episode features a showcase of insights from Nick Jain, the CEO of IdeaScale, who articulates the critical necessity of innovation within organizations. He underscores that without a commitment to innovative practices, businesses risk stagnation, particularly in a competitive landscape where rivals continuously strive for advancement. Throughout the discourse, Jain emphasizes the merits of bootstrapping, detailing how IdeaScale has thrived over the past 15 years without external capital, thereby preserving its autonomy and focus on sustainable growth. He offers three pivotal strategies for aspiring entrepreneurs: maintaining a vigilant awareness of cash flow, judiciously allocating marketing expenditures, and ensuring that every investment yields a tangible return. My aspiration is that listeners glean at least one actionable takeaway from Jain's experiences, which they may readily apply to their own entrepreneurial journeys.The podcast delves into the intricacies of bootstrapping a business, specifically through the lens of Nick Jain, the CEO of IdeaScale, a prominent innovation software company. Jain articulates the vital significance of innovation within organizations, asserting that stagnation inevitably leads to decline. He emphasizes the necessity for continuous improvement, outlining the competitive landscape wherein failure to innovate equates to being outpaced by rivals. IdeaScale's journey, marked by unwavering commitment to sustainable business practices without reliance on external funding, serves as a testament to the efficacy of strategic decision-making and fiscal prudence. Jain reflects upon the duality of challenges and triumphs experienced during their bootstrapping endeavor, acknowledging moments where external capital could have catalyzed growth yet simultaneously recognizing the constraints and pressures accompanying such funding.Takeaways: The importance of innovation in every organization cannot be overstated, as stagnation leads to decline. Bootstrapping a business requires a disciplined approach to financial management and strategic decision making. Understanding and managing cash flows is critical for the sustainability of any bootstrapped enterprise. Marketing expenditures should be scrutinized for their return on investment to ensure effective growth strategies. Continuous learning is essential for personal and professional development, regardless of one's position or industry. A focus on sustainability and cost-effectiveness is vital for long-term success in entrepreneurship. Relevant Links:https://ideascale.com/

What if the very traits you've been taught to hide—like being selfish, nosy, or even manipulative—are actually your greatest unfair advantage?That's the bold idea Jenny Wood explores in Wild Courage—a framework she developed after nearly two decades at Google, where she rose through the ranks, led billion-dollar business units, and launched initiatives that reached over 50,000 employees across 100+ countries.Eventually, success on paper wasn't enough. Jenny felt burned out and boxed in—stuck between achievement and alignment. That turning point led her to redefine what real courage looks like in business and life.In this episode, she unpacks the 9 traits society often labels as “too much” or “too aggressive”—and shows how to reclaim them as strategic tools for influence, opportunity, and a life you actually want. Whether you're looking to land the promotion, launch your business, or stop playing small, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about confidence, leadership, and courage.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) The wild subway story that changed Jenny's life—and the mindset shift that helped her take bold action in the face of fear.2.) Discover the 9 unconventional traits that define Wild Courage—and how they unlock greater influence, freedom, and business growth.3.) Why “manipulative” might be your most powerful leadership trait—and how to use it to build trust, influence, and high-leverage relationships.4.) Why replacing your salary may be the wrong goal—and how to build confidence, earn through passive income, and design a life that truly aligns with what matters most.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/248Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

I had a great conversation with Sam Primm from FasterFreedom, a guy who's absolutely crushing it with rentals right now. He's sitting on $51 million in real estate, all built through smart leverage and creative strategies like BRRRR, but with a twist. Sam walks through exactly how he's still making deals work today, even with rising interest rates and tighter margins.If you've ever thought you can't cash flow with rentals anymore or that BRRRR is dead, this episode will prove otherwise. Sam's strategy hinges on creative financing, in-house property management, and a key tweak that could boost your cash flow by $2,400 per property annually. We're talking about midterm rentals, DSCR loans, and ditching the myth that you need to hand everything off to a property manager.We also dig into the mindset and community needed to actually start investing. Sam's emphasis on building relationships, networking with local agents, and tracking your numbers like a business owner is exactly the kind of guidance most new investors miss. This is one of those episodes that will shift how you think about buy and hold investing.What's Inside:—Why midterm rentals could double your rental income in the right market—How DSCR loans help investors save on monthly debt payments—Simple tech and systems that make self-managing rentals realistic and profitable—Why BRRRR still works if you run the numbers right and adjust your buy box

With 33+ years of experience helping thousands of real estate professionals legally reduce their tax burdens, Ted brings high-level insight and practical advice that every investor—whether active or passive—needs to hear.

Small business owner Jennifer Kok opened her cookie business and delivered her second daughter just two days later—literally delivering babies and cookies on the same day. After running her business for 20 years and experiencing everything from bounced paychecks to franchise success, Jennifer now helps overwhelmed entrepreneurs transform into confident CEOs without burning out on social media. In this raw and honest conversation, Jennifer shares the real statistics behind small business failure (spoiler: they don't fail, they quit). She reveals the predictable pattern that causes entrepreneurs to walk away right before their breakthrough. From managing cash flow crises to building your personal board of directors, this episode pulls back the curtain on the messy middle of entrepreneurship. It provides actionable strategies for pushing through the plateau. If you've ever felt isolated in your business, questioned whether you're cut out for entrepreneurship, or wondered how to pay yourself properly, this episode offers both practical solutions and the emotional support every business owner needs to hear. What You'll Learn Why 50% of small businesses actually quit rather than fail, and how to avoid becoming part of that statistic The predictable pattern that hits entrepreneurs around year 3-4 and how to navigate "the messy middle" How to build your personal board of directors with five specific types of advisors The critical difference between working in your business versus working on your business How to conduct a business breakthrough strategy, starting with your numbers Why profit margins matter more than revenue and how to calculate what you're really earning How to find your micro audience and unique differentiator without fear-based thinking Cash flow management fundamentals that prevent payroll crises The mindset shifts that separate successful entrepreneurs from those who quit   This episode features Jennifer Kok, a business coach with 25 years of entrepreneurial experience who literally delivered her baby and cookie orders on the same day she opened her business. Jennifer challenges the common belief that small businesses fail, arguing instead that they quit, particularly around the 3-4 year mark when entrepreneurs hit what she calls "the messy middle." The conversation covers Jennifer's journey from corporate America to cookie business owner, including a humbling moment when she had to put payroll on a credit card during a family vacation. This crisis became a turning point that led her to master business fundamentals and eventually help other entrepreneurs avoid similar pitfalls. Key insights include the importance of building a personal board of directors (comprising five specific types of advisors), understanding profit margins over vanity metrics such as revenue, and developing systems for working on your business rather than just in it. Jennifer emphasizes that entrepreneurial challenges aren't character flaws but navigation points toward better systems. That isolation kills more businesses than a bad strategy. The episode explores the psychological aspects of entrepreneurship, highlighting the interconnection between personal and business growth, and provides practical strategies for financial management, targeting micro-audiences, and maintaining confidence during challenging periods.

In this episode, Jim walks through the shift that changed everything: from chasing returns to building freedom through ownership and control. He shares the early lessons—from a casket factory in Gary, Indiana to Wall Street boardrooms—that forced him to question the financial playbook most people follow. The real breakthrough? Understanding that freedom isn't about having more—it's about controlling what you already earn. 3 Takeaways: Ownership is leverage. Watching a business owner control time and capital changed Jim's view of wealth. It's not about working more—it's about owning the system. Control creates independence. Through Infinite Banking and cash-flow assets, Jim took back control from banks, brokers, and traditional planners. Noise is the enemy. Schools, media, and advisors push dependence. Freedom starts by questioning the script—and taking action. This episode is for anyone tired of playing defense. Listen, share, and hit subscribe to join a community that plays offense with money.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business host Troy Trewin interviews Kerry Boulton from Exit Strategy Group, who shares her incredible journey of buying a freight business doing $16M and growing it to $50M with the same 63 staff. Kerry reveals how she executed a strategic exit after seven years, then went on to build and sell multiple ventures. Now through The Exit Strategy Group, she mentors owners on being “always exit ready,” balancing business, financial, and personal goals. She discusses the power of systems, the Value Builder tool, and finding your “Alan Bond moment.” Kerry's story is a masterclass in scaling, cash flow, people, and creating true freedom.

Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Kerry Boulton, the hardest thing in growing a small business is managing cash flow. Growth eats up cash faster than most owners expect, and many don't realize how easily they can run into a squeeze. She says you've got to keep a constant eye on cash, plan ahead, and understand that scaling up often means funding gaps you need to prepare for. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Kerry shares that her favorite business book is “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, which she says gave her a rock-solid foundation for both business and life. She also loves “The Great Game of Business” by Jack Stack for teaching how to build financial literacy and an ownership mindset in your team. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? For podcasts and learning resources, Kerry highly recommends “Built to Sell Radio” by John Warrillow, which dives into making your business more valuable and sellable. She also likes “Business Lunch” with Roland Frasier & Ryan Deiss, plus the Exit Planning Institute's podcast. And of course, she's a fan of Troy's Grow Small Business Podcast, which she appeared on. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? When it comes to tools, Kerry swears by the Value Builder System, which helps owners see their business through a buyer's eyes, score it across key value drivers, and figure out exactly where to improve to maximize value and exit readiness. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If she could give herself advice on day one of starting out in business, Kerry laughs and says she'd simply tell herself to “buckle up,” because it's going to be a hell of a ride—full of challenges, personal growth, and ultimately the chance to create freedom and live life on her own terms.

Nate Littlewood, fractional CFO and mentor, is on today's episode to shed some light on the 3 most common financial challenges that affects most e-commerce entrepreneurs and talks about how to fix them.

Stord will provide a detailed report that outlines the specific areas you are out performing your competitors and where your competitors are outperforming you. Learn how your consumers truly experience your brand today! Cash flow is king when it comes to e-commerce businesses.  More often than not business owners need to use debt to order more inventory, while keeping the price the same.  Does that really make sense if all your profit ends up going to your SBA loan leaving you with nothing?  It doesn't.  That's why in today's episode we have Nate Littlewood on the podcast. He's a fractional CFO with a background in finance, and he helps e-commerce entrepreneurs figure out how they can improve their finance literacy. He's on the podcast today to talk about the 3 ways e-commerce businesses can improve their profit margins so they  can start feeling their bank accounts grow.    The Big Takeaways Many entrepreneurs have most of their cash flow tied up in inventory, making business cash flow a huge struggle.  Fixing inventory can be an easy way to gain back some cash flow which makes your business more nimble and adaptable. Every now and then, you should assume that your SaaS budget is zero and make a case for why certain tools need to be purchased again. The 80-20 rule or The Pareto principle should help you with deciding which products to axe and which to keep. Offering more product variations does not lead to linear increased sales. Having low cash flow stops your business from growing faster than it could. Investing in supply chain optimization can also free up cash flow for your business.

Want to know the biggest reason your marketing isn't working? It doesn't reflect you.Most ads are generic. They could work for any business. But the best ads only work for one—because they're built around the true personality of the founder or brand. They're specific, not because of the product, but because of who's behind it. That's what makes them powerful. That's what makes them real. That's the heart of relational marketing— which is what today's episode is all about.I'm joined by Roy H. Williams—better known as the “Wizard of Ads”—who has helped iconic companies like 1-800-GOT-JUNK craft ads that fueled billion-dollar growth. Over the past 40 years, Roy has advised hundreds of founders, showing them how to grow through story, truth, and personality, instead of gimmicks, hype, or shallow tactics.If you want to write ads that break through the noise and actually connect with your buyers, this episode will change the way you think about marketing forever.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) How Roy helped grow 1-800-GOT-JUNK from $97M to $1B—by leading with truth and identity, not data or demographics.2.) Why identity—not logic—drives every buying decision, and how your brand can tap into who your customers really are in order to better serve them.3.) What makes a company truly remarkable—and the one question Roy uses to test if your marketing actually makes people care.4.) The 4 things every human is secretly looking for—and how to build them into your ads so people don't just notice you… they trust you.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/247Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.
