19 Questions to Uncover Good, Bad, and Ugly Financial Advisors | Don McDonald - E107

Today, Jesse is joined by Don McDonald to offer a critical examination of the financial advising and annuity industries, warning retirees and near-retirees about misleading sales tactics that exploit fear - especially the fear of market losses. They emphasize the importance of working with fee-only, fiduciary advisors who are legally obligated to act in clients' best interests, in contrast to commission-based salespeople who often obscure fees, misrepresent guarantees, and use charm to build trust. Drawing from Jason Zweig's “19 Questions to Ask Your Financial Advisor,” Jesse highlights key criteria for evaluating advisors, including transparency, credentials, investment philosophy, and service scope. They condemn opaque fee structures, sales contests, and annuity marketing tactics - like steak dinners that pressure attendees into high-commission products - and describe most annuities as complex, wealth-threatening vehicles. Jesse adds practical suggestions like inquiring about an advisor's succession plan, communication style, and client load, and stresses the value of education and evidence-based investing. The two advocate for comprehensive financial planning and alignment of advisor-client interests, with Don underscoring the importance of commitment to honesty, transparency, and fiduciary duty. Key Takeaways:• Annuity and investment salespeople often exploit retirees' fear of losing money in market downturns to sell high-fee products. • While there are niche use cases, many annuity products are expensive, opaque, and designed to benefit the seller more than the buyer. • You need to know what happens to your financial relationship if your advisor retires or leaves. • State-level oversight often fails to protect consumers from misleading practices. • Know the difference between moral fiduciary responsibility and legal fiduciary responsibility. • It's a red flag if an advisor recommends products they wouldn't use for themselves.

"Buy and hold investors don't just win on average returns— they win by avoiding the behavioral landmines that sabotage long-term success.” Paul MerrimanIn this podcast Paul addresses one of the most important investment decisions a do it yourself investor will make. Paul opens the discussion with comments from a Forbes article from 2008 that discusses Warren Buffett's market timing decision he made to get totally out of the market in 1969 and back aboard in 1974.The podcast (with the help of Chatgpt, includes a list of 10 common reasons market timing doesn't work for amateur investors.1. Missing the best days2. Emotional decision-making3. Perfect timing is impossible4. Higher costs and taxes5. Volatility is high during recovery6. Recency Bias7. Focus on noise, not timing signals8. Overconfidence9. Loss of Compound Growth10. Data shows long-term investing winsPaul challenges AI that there are many emotional disadvantages with timing.The most important performance and non performance hurdles:1. Decision-making: Timing requires lots of work and buy and hold almost none.2. Mistakes: Market timing suffers lots of mistakes and buy & hold rarely wrong in the long term.3. Emotional Toll: Timing has lots of emotional challenges and buy & hold is more peaceful. 4. Behavioral Risks: Timing has lots of behavioral risks and buy & hold is simple.5. Time Commitment: Timing takes time and action and buy & hold is rarely touched.6. Expenses: Costs and taxes are both lower with buy & hold.7. Timers must be more resilient with many decisions being wrong.8. Financial Results: A few timers may perform well but all buy & holders are likely to have “won”.

In this episode, Monika tackles the challenge of using retirement savings wisely. While most people focus on accumulating a retirement fund, the real challenge is making it last. She explains the Money Trinity, a three-bucket strategy that ensures financial security while combating inflation. The Now Fund covers immediate needs, the Next Fund balances safety and growth, and the Future Fund builds long-term wealth. By strategically allocating money across these buckets, retirees can secure their present while letting a portion of their savings grow.Next, she breaks down credit risk, explaining why PSU bank deposits offer lower rates than corporate deposits and how investors can assess financial safety. She discusses credit ratings for companies, countries, and individuals, showing how these indicators help measure the likelihood of default. From evaluating debt mutual funds to understanding the risk-o-meter, Monika shares practical ways to navigate the complexities of fixed-income investments.In the listener Q&A, Lalit Kumar seeks advice on mutual fund selection and systematic transfer plans (STPs).

Das Leben ist voller Risiken – das gilt auch für die Geldanlage an den Kapitalmärkten. Eine angemessene Rendite erfordert stets ein gewisses Maß an Risiko. Wie Sie Risiken im Portfolio auf ein vertretbares Maß reduzieren können, ohne dabei zu viel Performance einzubüßen, erfahren Sie in dieser Podcast-Folge von Karl Matthäus Schmidt, CEO der Quirin Privatbank und Gründer der digitalen Geldanlage quirion. Karl beantwortet folgende Fragen: • Wo liegt die Risikobereitschaft von Schmidt auf einer Skala von 1 bis 10? (1:11) • Hat sich die Risikobereitschaft im Laufe der Jahre verändert? Ist der CEO eher risikobereiter geworden oder nimmt er die Risiken aus dem Alltag raus? (1:48) • Welche grundsätzlichen Risiken gibt es, wenn man sein Geld an der Börse anlegt? (2:54) • Abseits von Aktien, welche Risiken gibt es bei anderen Anlagen? (4:33) • Wie diversifiziert die Quirin Privatbank ihre Portfolios? (5:37) • Was ist mit bescheidenem, aber ambitioniertem Risikomanagement gemeint? (6:22) • Was bedeutet Diversifikation für ein Portfolio? (8:35) • Wie sieht ein gut diversifiziertes Portfolio aus? (9:56) • Wie viele Anlageklassen sollte ein erfolgreiches Portfolio innehaben? (11:16) • Welche Rolle spielen ETFs bei der Diversifikation? (12:34) • Der norwegische Staatsfonds hat eine Aktienquote von 60 % und hält diese auch konsequent bei. Wie erfolgreich war er damit? (13:27) • Was können Anlegerinnen und Anleger aus dem Erfolg des norwegischen Staatsfonds für das eigene Risikomanagement ableiten? (14:52) • Was hat es mit dem Wertschwankungsausgleich auf sich? (15:35) • Ist es nicht unlogisch, wenn immer wieder genau die Positionen verkauft werden, die besonders gut gelaufen sind und man die Werte, die schlecht gelaufen sind, nachkauft? (17:02) • Wo wird Schmidt sein Rebalancing vornehmen, da er auf dem Weg Richtung 60 ist? Weniger Mountainbike, mehr Schach? (18:00) Gut zu wissen: • Die Risikobereitschaft verändert sich mit der Zeit und hängt oft von der persönlichen Lebenssituation ab. • Börsenanlagen bergen verschiedene Risiken, darunter Konjunktur-, Zins- und Insolvenzrisiken. • Nicht jede Anlage ist gleich riskant – Aktien, Anleihen und Rohstoffe haben unterschiedliche Risikoprofile. • Ein Kursverlust von z. B. 40 % kann unterschiedlich gefährlich sein. Während sich ein breit gestreutes Portfolio mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit erholt, bleiben Verluste bei Einzelaktien unter Umständen dauerhaft. • Richtig diversifizieren bedeutet, das Risiko zu senken, ohne Renditechancen zu opfern. Wer nur die Aktienquote reduziert und mehr Anleihen ins Depot nimmt, mindert zwar Schwankungen, aber auch das Wachstumspotenzial. Entscheidend ist eine breite Streuung über verschiedene Anlageklassen. • Das Marktportfolio gilt als effizienteste Struktur für eine langfristig stabile Geldanlage mit optimalen Ertragschancen. Es besteht aus Aktien und Anleihen mit insgesamt sieben Faktoren – ETFs bieten hier eine kostengünstige Lösung. • Studien zeigen: Crash-Prognosen sind unzuverlässig. Wer versucht, Abschwünge vorherzusehen und sich rechtzeitig abzusichern, riskiert langfristig eine schlechtere Rendite. • Disziplin ist der wichtigste Beitrag, den Anlegerinnen und Anleger selbst zum Anlageerfolg beitragen können. Hierzu gehört, die einmal gewählten Aktien- und Anleihequoten konsequent beizubehalten. • Ein zeitlich festgelegtes Rebalancing ist eines der wichtigsten Instrumente des Risikomanagements: Es stellt sicher, dass Aktien- und Anleiheanteile im Portfolio wieder ins Gleichgewicht gebracht werden.

Episode 100 of The Best Interest Podcast! This is a celebratory and reflective milestone featuring guest shout-outs, listener-favorite clips, and a discussion on the show's evolution. Jesse shares the podcast's origins, his journey from aerospace engineering to financial planning, and how the podcast nearly faded before finding renewed purpose in 2023. Throughout the episode, Joe Saul Sehy, Brian Feroldi, Paula Pant and other past guests are featured, shouting out The Best Interest and their own work, you'll certainly want to check out.  To celebrate, listeners wrote in with some of their favorite clips, including Jeremy Schneider's discussion with Jesse on his “7 Deadly Sins of Investing” from episode 70. Of course, Jesse's AMA's have been incredibly popular, so segments are featured from episodes 81 and 96 where Jesse answered questions about diversification, patience, and risk management.  Thanks, listeners, for supporting the podcast's first 100 episodes. We look forward to the future of "Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors."   Key Takeaways:• Relying solely on one asset class, such as large-cap U.S. stocks, increases risk and limits flexibility in different market conditions. • No asset class can outperform indefinitely; over time, returns tend to move back toward historical averages. • Holding international stocks can help balance risk, as different regions perform well at different times. • Just because a strategy has worked for years doesn't mean it will continue to do so; market conditions evolve. • As retirement nears, reducing portfolio volatility becomes more important, and diversifying helps protect against severe downturns. • The best strategy involves preparing for uncertainty, adjusting portfolios based on personal financial goals rather than chasing recent winners.   Key Timestamps:(03:43) Reflections on the Journey (15:15) Rebranding Announcement (19:44) Highlighting the Best Clips (38:53) The Importance of Indexing and Market Timing (40:52) Understanding the CAPE Ratio (45:12) The Risks of Timing the Market (51:45) Dollar Cost Averaging vs. Lump Sum Investing (54:42) Diversification: Why It Matters   Key Topics Discussed:The Best Interest, Jesse Cramer, Rochester New York, financial planner, financial advisor, wealth management, retirement planning, tax planning, personal finance, long term investors, Joe Saul Sehy, Brad Barrett, Nick Maggiulli, Justin Peters, Jeremy Schneider, Doug Cunnington, Joel Larsgaard, Paula Pant, andy Hill, Steve Adcock, Dan Otter, Brian Feroldi, episode 100, celebration, millionaire money habits   Mentions:Joe Saul Sehy: https://joesaulsehy.com/ Brad Barrett: https://choosefi.com/ Nick Maggiulli: https://ofdollarsanddata.com/ Justin Peters: https://www.tsirpodcast.com/ Jeremy Schneider: https://www.instagram.com/personalfinanceclub/?hl=en Doug Cunnington: https://milehighfi.com/ Joel Larsgaard: https://www.howtomoney.com/about-us/joel-larsgaard/ Paula Pant: https://affordanything.com/ Andy Hill: https://marriagekidsandmoney.com/about/ Steve Adcock: https://steveadcock.us/ Dan Otter: https://teachandretirerich.com/ Brian Feroldi: https://www.youtube.com/@BrianFeroldiYT    More of Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors:Check out the Best Interest Blog at bestinterest.blog Contact me at jesse@bestinterest.blog Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.

Jeremy Au discussed three key insights on Southeast Asia venture capital. First, he highlighted the "Series B Valley of Death," where local funds support pre-seed to Series A, and global investors focus on later stages, but Series B and C funding gaps force startups into aggressive cost-cutting or revenue expansion. Second, he emphasized the importance of timing in venture bets, arguing that startups must be positioned in the right economic window—neither too futuristic nor too late—illustrating with examples like AI-driven call centers in the Philippines and Vietnam's emerging luxury goods market. Third, he discussed how VCs balance two roles—judging founder potential and adding value—to maximize the likelihood of building unicorns - where startups adapt and learn quickly using the Lean Startup and OODA loops, with  examples from sectors like HR tech, AI call centers, and consumer goods.

This video explains why trying to time the market is a risky and often costly strategy for investors. It highlights how emotional decision-making, fear, and greed lead to buying high and selling low—hurting long-term returns. Historical data shows that missing just a few of the market's best-performing days can drastically reduce overall gains. Instead of market timing, experts emphasize the benefits of a disciplined, long-term investing approach focused on diversification and staying invested. The key takeaway: time in the market beats timing the market.   Retire Pilots - https://retirepilots.com   Get your FREE Retirement Toolkit - https://d74164fb.pages.infusionsoft.net/   Pilot Tax - https://pilot-tax.com/   The Pilot's Advisor Podcast is also on video.

We use the dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) model to estimate daily-frequency mutual fund betas. Compared to traditional estimates, daily betas better capture changes in fund risk stemming from daily fund trading activity. Based on these beta estimates and a two-stage estimation procedure, we find significant evidence of market timing ability among actively managed U.S. equity funds that is not apparent via standard approaches. Unlike traditional measures, our timing estimates correlate positively with fund performance. Market timing is especially evident during down markets, with successful timers exhibiting low downside risk. Timing ability persists across time and attracts investor flows.

TRAILERWelcome to episode 77 of the One for the Money podcast. Happy New Year as well as this episode is airing on Jan 1st, 2025. Crazy how time flies. I am both glad and grateful you have taken the time to listen. In this episode, I'll share the biggest lessons I have learned in over 25 years as an investor.In the tips, tricks, and strategies portion, I will share a tip regarding setting financial goals.In this episode...The Importance of Starting Early [3:27]The Power of Paying Yourself First [4:19]Market Timing is a Fool's Errand [5:36]The Need for Proper Planning & Tax Strategy [8:02]Spending While You Are Healthy [12:11]MAINI've been investing in the stock market for a little more than 25 years and I've learned a lot about investing and building wealth during that time so I thought it might be helpful for me to share the biggest lessons I've learned at my silver jubilee investing anniversary. But first, I should share that I was introduced to the stock market by accident. I was told by a university guidance counselor that graduate schools and future employers expected those they accepted to be well-read and that one should read the paper every day. After that guidance every day I would grab our local paper and read the current events in the world which would feature such things as natural disasters, politics, wars, etc. I would then skip over the business section to review the sports section. However, as I turned the pages on the business section I often wondered what all of these abbreviations and numbers represented. I learned later that these represented companies that the general public could invest into. Well, one day the newspaper advertised a free investing seminar at the public library in the city closest to my small town. I attended the presentation and it was incredibly interesting. The gentleman who presented spoke of one Warren Buffett and how the stock market was the way to build wealth. At the time of this investing seminar, Warren Buffet's company Berkshire Hathaway had a stock price of a whopping ~$60,000 per share. If you think that's amazing today a single share of Berkshire Hathaway stock is over $700,000.A short time after I was introduced to investing, it seemed the rest of America became interested due to the dot com era. At the time the World Wide Web was a new phenomenon and the stock market rocketed higher. The stock market eventually crashed down to earth, but despite the volatility, I became very interested in investing. These experiences started my journey into investing and here a little over 25 years later are the biggest lessons I have learned about investing and building wealth. The first lesson I've learned in my 25 years is that little actions have massive consequences when given time. In other words, it is WAY more important to start investing than the actual amount you have to invest. Every little dollar can grow to mind-boggling sums given time. One of the best examples I share with clients is that of an apple seed. It's hard to conceive that this tiny little seed could grow into a large tree that could produce thousands of apples, and yet that's exactly what it can do, of course, given the critical ingredient of time. But your wealth can't grow if you don't plant the seeds to start with.As the old proverb goes - The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the second best time is now. As you get older you usually can make more money but you can never get more time!The second lesson I've learned in my 25 years is understanding how paying yourself first makes all the difference. As Warren Buffett said so well “Do not save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.” People who know how to manage their cash flow have the best life in the future. They have more freedom, more...

However, he cautions against getting too excited about these short-term gains, especially for those managing significant investments. Ryan discusses the importance of having a solid, long-term financial plan that accounts for market volatility and potential downturns, rather than chasing small percentage gains that might not justify the risk. Using examples from recent market behaviors and economic uncertainties, he emphasizes the need for prudent decision-making and the dangers of impulsive investments.

How Smart Market Timing Built My 25-Year Recruitment Practice, with Brock Boyd, Ep #238

The Resilient Recruiter

"Work hardest when times are best, not worst" - this counterintuitive philosophy helped Brock Boyd build a 25-year tech recruitment empire that's survived three major market crashes. When Brock Boyd started his recruitment firm in 1998, he ran his business from his bedroom in a shared house, where suited colleagues would show up to work daily - sometimes while he was still sleeping from late-night prospecting.  Today, 25 years later, he's a member of the prestigious Pinnacle Society leading an international tech sales recruitment practice. Through multiple market cycles - from the dot-com crash to 2008's recession to today's tech slowdown - Brock has built Career Management Inc. (CMI) into a sustainable business while developing wealth-building principles that have given him true financial freedom. Episode Outline and Highlights: [01:49] How a friend needing a ride to a job fair led to recruitment. [04:27] Taking the entrepreneurial leap after just 11 months! [10:47] Recalling the early days: Cold calling from his bedroom while colleagues showed up in suits. [15:26] Discussion of peak performance periods: 1999-2000 and 2021-2022. [18:17] Focus on resilience: Surviving 2002 and the $63,000 bankruptcy challenge [24:22] "I work by far the hardest in the best of times" - Brock's contrarian business philosophy [27:47] Smart financial moves most recruiters miss: The "two boulders" theory [38:51] How to retire early as recruiters: The three key factors [54:56] Tech stack deep dive: What works in modern recruitment [1:03:19] Understanding market cycles: "It's like winter and spring will come" Building a Recession-Proof Tech Sales Recruitment Practice After being hired by a staffing firm, Brock launched his own business after only 11 months! He had a fascinating story of finding his way into permanent staffing without really having much of a background before starting his recruitment firm. From solo operator to leading an international team, Brock has built Career Management Inc. (CMI) into a sustainable practice over 25 years. Starting with just three clients in 1998, he strategically evolved from general sales to specialized tech sales recruitment. Here is his firm's current structure: 3.5 full-desk recruiters (US-based) 2.5 candidate-focused recruiters International support team across Argentina, Colombia, Philippines, and India Support staff handling administrative and database work Below are the key success factors that helped his business thrive over the years, through multiple market cycles, including the dot-com crash, the 2008 recession, and the current tech slowdown, while growing sustainably through each recovery. Early specialization in tech sales (higher fees vs general sales) Lean operations during growth years Strategic investment in revenue-generating tools Counter-cyclical work approach: highest effort during boom markets Maintaining core tools during downturns while cutting non-essential costs Personal Finance & Wealth Building for Recruiters A topic that resonates well with me is how Brock gives value to personal finance and wealth building for people in the recruitment industry. Most successful recruiters earn exceptional income, yet struggle to build lasting wealth in the long term. Brock has been a great example of turning his recruitment earnings into true financial freedom through disciplined investing and smart money management. He shared his mindset and strategies on how he balances his investment strategy with different instruments and risks.  Below are some core best practices he shared on the topic of personal finance: Keep lifestyle expenses well below earnings, especially in good years Never invest more than 10% of total assets in any single investment Maintain substantial cash reserves to buy assets during downturns Focus on three key areas: work earnings, investment earnings, and lifestyle costs "The further below your earnings your lifestyle and spending are, the faster you're going to get to financial freedom. And the closer they are, or God forbid they're overlapped in the wrong direction, then the further away that is." This disciplined approach has helped Brock build sustainable wealth through multiple market cycles while many recruiters, despite high earnings, struggle with long-term financial security. “Working Hardest in the Best of Times” "Work hardest when times are best, not worst" - this counterintuitive philosophy helped Brock Boyd build a 25-year tech recruitment empire that's survived three major market crashes.  Brock's work ethic revolves around maintaining resilience through challenging times while recognizing the role of external factors. Uniquely, Brock works hardest during prosperous times, moderately during stable periods, and least during downturns. He views this approach as a strategic response to the opportunity cost, focusing energy where returns are likely highest. This pragmatic mindset helps him stay balanced and focused despite industry fluctuations. Disclaimer: This podcast does not provide financial or tax advice; listeners are encouraged to consult a qualified professional for personalized guidance.   Brock Boyd Bio and Contact Info  Brock has served as President/Chief Executive Officer since founding Career Management, Inc. in April 1998. His aggressive pursuit of face time with the staffing industry's leading experts led him to become the youngest member on the Board of the National Association of Personnel Services in 2001. To date, Brock has completed over 500 successful searches. In May of 2000, he was featured in the NAPS newsletter for his accomplishments and vision.    In addition, he received his CPC (Certified Personnel Consultant) designation in 2003. He has also produced and delivered seminars on interviewing skills (for candidates seeking positions as well as hiring managers). He has been hired to deliver sales training to multiple companies as well as consulting several companies on the process of building/hiring a sales organization from scratch.   Brock graduated from Old Dominion University where he was a NCAA Division I Collegiate Wrestler.

The podcast is dedicated to answering questions about:  Target date funds:  “Do you think someone that simply maxes out their retirement accounts with target date funds and total market funds will be “fine”? Selecting a distribution strategy:  What advice can you give to a DIY investor who is trying to decide what to do about how they access their money to live on and how much to take out? Buy and Hold vs. market timing:  I believe in buy and holding  index funds, with low expenses. I don't think I need to pay an investment advisor to help me do that.  I see the Merriman Wealth Management firm offers buy and hold and market timing services and charges AUM fees.  This is very different from what you suggest on your Foundation website.  What is your relationship with the Merriman firm and what are your beliefs about market timing? All small cap value portfolio:  Do you know investors who are investing 100% of their portfolios in small cap value?  It seems like it might be a smart thing to do with very long term investments for a very young person. Time to start market timing:   I am thinking about using timing with a large amount of new money.  Who do you use for the market timing aspect of your portfolio management?   Flexible vs. fixed distribution strategies:  "I believe you expect that a flexible withdrawal strategy will pay out more money to live on, as well as leave more money to heirs.  Bill Bengen seems to believe that this strategy is not sustainable over the long term even if a person had enough money to accept lower annual withdrawal amounts in market draw downs.  Flexible withdrawal strategies make sense to me but there isn't much writt en about them.  What am I missing?” The answer to this question includes 4 distribution tables:   Table D1.4 - Fixed Distributions: S&P 500 Equity Portfolio - Conservative ($40,000/yr) Table F1.4 - Flexible Distributions (Conservative-4.0%/yr): S&P 500 Equity Portfolio Table D4.4 - Fixed Distributions (Conservative-$40,000/yr): US 4-Fund Equity Portfolio  Table F4.4 - Flexible Distributions (Conservative-4.0%/yr): US 4-Fund Equity Portfolio  Finally Paul reads four Ben Carlson quotes about the nature of bull and bear markets.  Paul makes reference to a table of annual Price to Earning (P/E)ratios starting in 1871 and another comparing the S&P 500 Price to Book Value from 2000 to 2024.

Making the Business of Home Building Profitable with Jose Berlanga   In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, we have a fantastic guest, José Berlanga, a seasoned real estate entrepreneur who has successfully ventured into land development, residential construction, and investment properties. José shares his incredible journey from a reluctant start in real estate to becoming deeply involved in an industry that shaped his career over several decades. He dives deep into the nature of the real estate business, the complexities of cash flow, and why timing is everything when making business decisions.   In this episode, you will learn: The Realities of Cash-Intensive Businesses: José explains how the long cycles of real estate investments create both opportunities and challenges, with significant capital being tied up for extended periods. The Domino Effect in Real Estate Development: How one project often leads to another, creating a chain reaction that pulls entrepreneurs deeper into the industry. The Emotional Side of Business Timing: When business is booming, it's hard to let go, but when it's struggling, it can be equally hard to exit. Why Real Estate is a Long-Term Game: José emphasizes that timing the market is challenging, and the cycles can be difficult to predict, but managing these cycles is essential to long-term success.   Key Takeaways: Cash-Flow Management is Critical: Real estate development ties up large amounts of capital for long periods, which means managing cash flow effectively is vital to sustaining the business. Market Timing is Unpredictable: Whether the market is booming or busting, it's difficult to know when to pull out. Staying in too long can cost you, but leaving too soon might mean missing out on the next peak. The Pull of the Business: Once you start, it's hard to get out, especially if multiple projects are in motion. This creates a domino effect where one project leads to another, keeping you deeply entrenched. Embrace the Long Game: Real estate is not a short-term venture; it's a commitment that requires patience, persistence, and careful financial planning.   Bio José Miguel Berlanga, a successful entrepreneur from Mexico City, has spent over 35 years in various industries but made his mark in Houston's real estate sector. He co-founded Tricon Homes and is deeply involved in land development and property investment. Beyond real estate, José has an extensive background in business administration, economics, and philosophy, which has contributed to his success across multiple ventures. He is also a mentor and inspiration to budding entrepreneurs, sharing his vast experience and wisdom. You can learn more about José at his website here.   Conclusion Real estate may not have been José Berlanga's original goal, but through decades of experience, he found his footing in this capital-intensive, long-cycle industry. His insights on cash flow, business cycles, and the pull of staying in business offer invaluable lessons for entrepreneurs in any field. Whether you're in real estate or another industry, the principles of managing cash flow and understanding market timing remain universal.   Links: Jose Berlanga https://joseberlanga.com/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jose-berlanga-900a9518/ Amazon:  https://amzn.to/3ST0d9u   Hi, I'm the Profit Answer Man Rocky Lalvani!
