Omar found out that some of his employees were really into gaming, so once or twice a month he would host a paid 2 hr game night for the staff.Note the cultural differencesHave teams within the same countryThere is a lot of verbal communication with remote work, and very nil body language.Balance the personalities. If there is an extrovert, make sure they aren't the only one and vise versa.Omar Mo feels that soon people will realize they can make money, and good money doing what they love to do. People are able to make their "gig" full time with the content they are able to produce.COVID has greatly increased the rate that commercial offices will be remote, and the rate that people are thinking that they can be fully remote.

Stephan encourages people to take a step back, and evaluate their situation; and note all possible options.JP starts to talk about how things are changing with COVID-19 and how a lot of stuff is shifting online including the educational sector. Stephan May has a connection with Teachers and mentioned that:Online high school seems to be here to stayThis is great for those who can self teachHorrible for those who need the direction and aidGrades used to be diverse, now it is either high grades or near failingTeachers will still have jobs - they don't need to worrkParents still want that talk with the teachers on how their student is learningTeachers can only grade so much, and care for/ note problems for so many.There is no such thing as a "one size fits all" for education, people learn differently.Things are changing, and things are going to continue to change as time goes on.Be adaptableChange with the timesPeople will revert back to habitual routines, which is most likely to cause more of a "hybrid" society moving forward.It is perfectly okay to be a successful entrepreneur without the goal of becoming the next big millionaire. Stephan states that there are so many successful businesses that arent billionaires and they are perfectly happy where they are at!If you are planning on selling or purchasing a business, make sure you plan properly!Stephan advises that it is best to create the plan before actioning anything. If you prepare yourself for a sale and have all your ducks in a row you will be valued more and have a better transaction at the end of it.Just because you are ready to sell your business, does not mean the right buyer is ready. It is okay to let a few offers go, because there might be one coming that is worth it. Listen to Stephans story to be inspired!An issue that keeps Stephan May up at night is:Inequality GapThe rich stay rich, the poor get poorer.TIP AND TRICKsomeone has already figured it out, you can tooBe informed with the correct informationMake sure to understand both sides of the situation Connect with Stephan MayWebsiteLinkedInConnect with your host, JP:TwitterInstagramFacebookWebsiteShow:LinkedInEmail: jpmcavoy@conductlaw.comPhone: 1-833-890-8878THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR:Conduct LawWebsite

She specializes in working with domestic and international business leaders, fund managers, and family office principals, liberating them to create customized solutions to reach their full potential in business and personal life, removing mindset blocks, and empowering them to create an intentional, multi-generational legacy.In this episode of The Millionaire's Lawyer, JP and Vera Anderson discuss:It takes so much strength the take a step back and assess your personal and corporate life. Vera suggests that everyone tries to achieve that external view of things because then you will be able to locate the toxic things that are around you and can start to eliminate them.Legacy Something you create on a daily basisIt is in how you show upIn your personal lifeIn your professional lifeVera Anderson herself had realized that she was putting so much effort and time into her work that it left her drained; she was no longer creative, or even motivated because she had nothing left to give.It is important to note when you are drained because then something isn't working well.Entrepreneurs like to tie their self-worth to their net worth, but Vera points out how that could be a deadly combo!Make sure to take things one day at a time and do what you can sustainably do, that is also supportive of your health and wellbeing.Get rid of expectations! That puts on an enormous amount of pressure and leads to you never feeling fulfilled with what you got.Intentional LegacyWanting to achieve something greaterNoting that you have everything you already need to achieve that peace.Vera says to stop striving for more money! Make enough that you are happy, comfortable, and at peace. More money doesn't mean that everything will be better, it could just lead to more unnecessary stress and toxicity.Focus on the good clientele that you already currently have. You know you enjoy working with them, you know they are a good client. When you keep looking for more and more you end up neglecting the ones you have but also end up with so much more unnecessary stress and toxicity.Health is a good place to start. If you are not healthy, you cannot conduct yourself for success if you are not setting your body up to happily withhold it Figure out the root cause of your stresses are, and then slowly, day by day, make the changes. This will lead to a big difference that you will note, but an easy transition to get thereVera tells everyone to get out of the state of limbo you are in! Address the issue and get moving before it eats away at you,Breath WorkAllowing things to properly alignFind yourself in the tension you are experiencingElevate yourself from the "fight-or-flight" reactionsAlign by relaxing and you'll find that you will become less reactive, and be able to achieve the goals you wished tooGame Plan for Success:Give yourself the permission to live, to work, and to exists in the most aligned way for you.Stop trying to live up to expectations, the more you try to the more you will feel unfulfilled.Take incremental steps, write down what is working, what is not working, and look back at it in a few days with an objective view.Connect with Vera Anderson:WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramConnect with your host, JP:TwitterInstagramFacebookWebsiteShow:LinkedInEmail: jpmcavoy@conductlaw.comPhone: 1-833-890-8878THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR:Conduct LawWebsite

Smelling? What visually do you remember?Paul feels as though people need to learn how to be more intuitive, listen to what their gut is saying because there is probably some sub-conscious reasoning to the intuition.There are two types of people in the world:Very good spellers, and bad spellers.This comes down to different ways of being taught.A sequence of Representations:VisualAudioPaul Scheele outlines the following are the tiers to your consciousness:Reflective Consciousness - you are able to weigh both sidesPrimary Consciousness - sensory awarenessPeripheral Consciousness - outside the center of attention, which you are only dimly aware ofSquiggly line - your subconscious.It's best to have a growth mindset, once you are open to growth, you are open th learning and being aware of moreSo often your host JP and Paul have heard business owners say that they are in their 11th hour and need help. Once they start relying on their intuition they end up turning the direction of the business around and are quite successful. The feeling of being Overwhelmed:When you are overwhelmed you experience narrowing of:AttentionThinkingMemoryDiscussionYou enter tunnel visionHave less access to your intuitionFreeze responseFight or flightConfusionWhen you get the feeling of being overwhelmed, just breath.Take a deep breath, let the shoulders drop. Realize you are in a safe place.Check your emotions, make sure you feel as though you belong thereManage your state, and be mindful, when you are, you have more access to the resources in your head.When you are stressed about a situation, imagine yourself after the event, how it was successful, how you feel. Grasp that feeling. Now come back to your present self and recreate what had happened.Doing this also allows your subconscious to be aware of what you are trying to achieve and allows it the grab onto those resources rather than the negative ones you were originally feeling.Your conscious-mind sets the goal, but it is your subconscious mind that is the one that achieves it.People build up this Immunity to change which makes them nervous and afraid to try something different. Try your best to not allow this to stop you from thriving.Tip of the Day!There is a genius within you.

You want to ensure that they are leaders and not managers.How to find a good leader, this is the hard part:Hire slow, fire fast.Don't hire as a reaction, take the time to find the right fit, and to find the correct staff member that will stick around.When Interviewing, look for the following:Someone who is humbleConfident, not cockyHungry for advancementPeople-Smart.In the Interview ask the following question:"If I was to call and ask your last two supervisors about you, what would they say?"You can tell a lot by the body language the person will give offsomeone can be very skilled in interviewing but not at the job itself.Ken Hardison tells us how to try and keep the good ones:Affirmation - Let them know when they are doing something you appreciate or did a good job onGrowth within the business- an "A" player wants to play more than a "B" or a "C", the "a" player deserves a little more pay, but they accomplish much more than the other types.Constant feedback - Ken puts a survey with each paycheck to check on the staff's stress levels, mental health, and overall thoughts.The Five Dysfunctions of a TeamTo keep the office motivated, Ken mentions it may be a good idea to:Have quarterly goalsTeam GatheringsGroup BenefitsIt is great to give praise in public, but when it comes to criticism it should be done in private.Documented Processes and Systems are so much more valuable than one may think.Easy to onboard new staff, it has everything outlined on how they should do what is required.It allows you to not be held hostage by your employee, their knowledge of how things run is so valuable that if they were gone it would be a massive learning curve.It is recommended to review these quarterly because some suppliers may change, websites may be updated, and so forth.You want to have everything systemized and documented so that if you would like to go on that two-week vacation your business can run like a well-oiled machine.Ken has had experience in selling two law firms, from start-up and growing it to selling them for seven figures.It is a lot harder to sell a law firm than it is to sell any other corporation.Before it used to have to be another lawyer that was purchasing the firm, but it is slowly changing to anyone being able to purchase law firms.Ken Hardison goes on to explain how come Non-competes are not applicable in the sale of a law firm, but now there could be another workaround that the solicitor leaving cannot take any of the staff or files.There are three (3) barriers to having a successful corporation:LeadershipProcessesMarketing - This is the area that a lot of entrepreneurs are struggling with."Helping lawyers and firm owners make the leap to the next level, increase profits, minimize stress, and have a more balanced life" - Mission StatementMarketing yourself:Find a way to Differentiate yourselfRecognize what your ideal client isBrand yourself and make yourself prominentdon't come off as always selling something.Ken is the Founder of PILMMA: Powerful Innovative Legal Marketing and Management Association, where he is a strategic coachLook at the long haul, how will what you are doing help you get to where you would like to be in 5 years?Make a practice that works for you, don't make a practice that works you.The main things that Start-Ups need are:PeopleStrategyCashflowExecutionJP and Ken joke about how revenue is for show, but how profit is king.TIP OF THE DAYYou don't know what you don't know.Connect with Ken Hardison:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterFacebookInstagramPodcastConnect with your host, JP:TwitterInstagramFacebookWebsiteShow:LinkedInEmail: jpmcavoy@conductlaw.comPhone: 1-833-890-8878THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR:Conduct LawWebsite

Quick-Show Notes:A Little about Brent Kesler:The Money Multiplier teaches how money really works with a 200-year-old concept. Instead of storing your paycheck at your local bank and letting the bankers lend out your money (and make a good living off it!), learn how you can become your own banker and how to be in control of your hard-earned dollars.The Money Multiplier is strictly educational. You determine whether you want to act with the information we provide. Brent Kesler, the founder of The Money Multiplier, used this concept to pay $984,711 of third-party debt in 39 months without having to work any harder, change his cash flow, or take any additional risks. Brent will show you how to get all the money back for all products and services you will ever buy for you and your family, for the rest of your lifeIn this episode of The Millionaire's Lawyer, JP and Brent Kesler discuss:Building wealth from your own debts and expensesEveryone, including yourself, has the power to be their own banker.Brent added one step to his purchases which resulted in him being able to pay off over 900K of debt in 3 years and 3 months.You do not have to work harder to pay off your debt, you just have to be smart with where you are allocating your money.Brent suggests using the following Machine:Whole Life Insurance Policies in a Mutual Company that pays dividends.Investopedia breaks down this method as follows:Life insurance can be a useful financial tool for business owners or individuals with a higher net worth, as well as people who may not have accumulated as many assets.It's possible to purchase more than one life insurance policy to meet different financial needs, though this can mean submitting to multiple paramedical exams during underwriting.Life insurance policies are not counted as part of an estate and are not taxed by the federal government, which may appeal to individuals who are hoping to minimize estate taxes.A life insurance policy can be sold for its cash value or you can borrow against accumulated cash value during your lifetime.

Quick-Show Notes:A Little about Allison Williams:Allison Williams is the owner of not one, but two successful companies. She is the Founder of Williams Law Group, a full-service family law firm where she is a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, is Certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as Matrimonial Law Attorney, and is certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy in Family Law. After taking Williams Law Group from start-up to a multi-million dollar business in 3.5 years, she created a second business, Law Firm Mentor, where she and her team provide business coaching services for Solo and Small Law Firm attorneys helping them grow their revenues, crush chaos in business and make more money. In this episode of The Millionaire's Lawyer, JP and Allison Williams discuss:Allison states to never stop growing, you can hire people to do the work so you can focus on what you desire to do.Allison Williams is the Law Firm MentorWorks with Small and Solo firmsHelps crush chaosGrows revenue; double and triple your revenue with her help and ideologyAdds in a consistent order to everything you doBring people into your business, you do not have to do everything yourselfHave ways that people can function without you, have systems in place so that the office can flow in auto-pilotCrushing ChaosCreate systems that help settle the chaos, make everything flow smoothly and correctly.Systems for:MarketingStaff / vendors / OwnerMoney ManagementBreak those systems down even more, IE:Money Management gets broken down too:Accounts PayableAccounts ReceivableWhen you have more work on your table than you want hire out that work; it makes your life that much easier, you have that much more time, and you can focus on what you really enjoy doing rather than the small stuff that anyone could do.Once you have systems in place you are able to evolve themMost people should have a system for booking in appointments (IE: what for, who for, gather all documentation required, and so on)With COVID, that system evolves into a more virtual way of doing things. Instead of gathering the hard file and all documents and putting it on the Bosses desk for the meeting, you then create all virtual files for the meeting, and add those notes / e-file to the calendar appointment rather than a hard file on the desk.Make sure you have someone double checking the system you or someone else created. It should be dummy-proof, just because something is common sense to you doesn't it will be to a new hire.Allison goes in to tell us about one of the ways she is able to create systems within the workplace, ART.Ask - Ask the person who does the role how they do it. (Ask your admin about the process of receiving mail, step by step. Making sure to include "open the envelopes". As a new Admin comes in they may be unsure if they are actually able to open up their boss's mail As JP's Executive assistant I was nervous too until I was told I could; just because it may be common sense, doesn't mean it is to someone coming in.Record - Have a tape recorder recording what they are saying. They will be stating a step by step order of how that task is completed.Transcribe - Transcribe what that person has stated into a document. Allison mentions that she uses Sonix as her software for this step.The CEO of the business should be telling their team about:Their goals and visions for the business and team membersThe state of the firm - How it is doing this quarter; if they need to focus on an area that may not be doing as well as it couldInstill the values into the teamCelebrating the good and how the good can get better.If you keep celebrating the good that the team is doing they are likely to be motivated to keep up the good work and find ways to improve.Gives them a sense of security and that they are valued. Positive and feedback and bonuses are such a good motivation to keeping your team on track, working, and effective.When is the best time to start organizing your Chaos?You have to have grown enough that you have the economical resources to buy convenience.Chaos is a sign of growth, just try to make sure that you are monetizing it to help allow yourself the economical resources to buy conveniences to eventually get out of that chaos.More work, more people, more systems that need to be in place.Your host, JP, asks how to monetize that chaos like Allison had mentioned, her advice:The owner does not have to do everything. If you have more than 25% of extra work then hire someone to take that one. Take that work off of your table.The best thing you can do in these situations is to hire someone that could replace you. It's the greater investment because they will be making you money, and provides security because you will be needed less for the business to operate.If you've heard this podcast before, you know that there is a GREAT VALUE in being replaceable in your own business.Mindset is essential; the mindset of how to do things, that it doesn't have to be you; and that you can hire someone else. The Mindset is what holds all business owners back, but if you are able to shift that you can see the value!Allison has a "Closed Door" policy within her firms, if you need to talk with you you book a time in the calendar. This allows Allison to give that member her undivided attention; she does not like being interrupted when she is giving her undivided attention to something else as it does take 3 minutes to adjust tasks.Staff members may be experiencing "decision fatigue" and are not dialed in anymore. To combat this, they need to learn how to focus again. If they are unable then the boss needs to coach them into focus and complete the task.Working remotely opened the door for a lot of opportunities; it forces people to be more intentional with their time. No more water cooler hangouts after bathroom breaks!Allison stated that is important to be available for more internal communication rather than external. If the internal isn't able to communicate and be on the same page, it affects the external in ways that could be easily avoided.Connect with Allison Williams:WebsitePodcast - Crushing Chaos with the Law Firm MentorFacebookTwitterInstagramYouTubeConnect with your host, JP:TwitterInstagramFacebookWebsiteShow:LinkedInEmail: jpmcavoy@conductlaw.comPhone: 1-833-890-8878THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR:Conduct LawWebsite
Quick-Show Notes:A Little about Ian Pryor:Ian founded Pryor Tax Law (P.T.L) in 2014 as an independent tax and estate planning boutique. His primary areas of expertise are corporate tax planning and reorganizations, advising on the purchase and sale of businesses, planning for high net-worth individuals, family business succession planning, trust planning and preparation, and international tax planning.He works closely with other professionals and advisors to create and implement business and estate plans and enjoys working in a team environment to ensure client needs and goals are met. In this episode of The Millionaire's Lawyer, JP and Ian Pryor discuss:Ian Pryor works on the public aspect of things; he likes to work with other professionals to ensure their mutual clients' needs are met.Pryor meets with his clients and their team of professionals to go over everything to make sure that the structure of the business is correct, and that the client is well versed and able to take advantage of the structuring.Last few years the tax crystal ball had become a little more foggy than normal, and now with COVID, the accountants have no idea what to expect.The Government is in such a deficit that they are most likely to add more taxes, higher taxes, but we have no idea what they are planning. Everyone is sitting in limbo to find out the implications.Your host, JP asked Ian Pryor what he thought people should be doing right now to stay proactive, he suggests:Plan in advance. Think of what your business is going to be doing in advance and position yourself to reap all of the benefits you should be able to.If you wait too long, when you go to sell you may be taxed up the ying-yang!COVID has really made a lot of people think about their estate, making sure they have their Wills and POA's set up, and the structuring to sell soon and ensure a comfortable life for the family.Ian and JP both feel as though the estate field will be flourishing over the next few years, this pandemic has shown everyone what really matters, and what to do to protect it.The process of working with Ian very's per client. Every corporation is different, just because you are an e-commerce business does not mean you should be structured the same as every other e-commerce business.Canadian Business in the United States (US)Once Canadian corporations want to expand they generally look to the US because they are a bigger market.Currently, the US election has had a lot of Canadians hold off, they are unsure of what changes Biden might make in regards to taxation laws.What Ian generally sees is that the Canadian business will sell to the US.We can set up a sister corporation, or a joint partnership.Corporations from the US like LLCs, but for us Canadians, LLCs are taxed differently and is not recommended.An individual who believes they know everything should raise some red flags - no one knows everything, find someone who knows what you don't to help.Some consequences that not planning ahead could have:Canadians that sell to LLCs - due to structuring and taxationFor Canadians that have a UK beneficiary in their estate planning, the UK gets taxed on their inheritance.Ian Pryor highly recommends making sure that you have planned in advance and keep revisiting the plan to revise along the way.Planning allows for the optimal outcome of the situation.Ian Pryor is also a member of STEPEnjoy what you have, spend time with your kids while they are kids! Don't let work absorb you and take you away from living your life and enjoying what you have!Know what you don't know and find someone who does know that. It is a lot better than assuming you know and Googling along the way.

In this episode of The Millionaire's Lawyer, JP and Jack McAvoy discuss:We have learned this year that our inner voice and that success is not about the time put into things, but the energy put into things. Putting out heart and soul into what we do.Putting your heart into things means that you are doing things because you want to be doing that action, not because it's an obligation.You can reprogram the negative voice in your head, more of a "you got this"Study what your inner voice is telling you;Write out what you want it to be telling you - write it, not type it.Write everything you want to feel good about, and write what you would like it to tell you."You can do this""You're doing the best you can""It is enough"It gives you positive energy to output into what you are doingWriting things down creates a link into your brain, helps you memorize it, and makes it that much more powerful in your head.JP shares a notebook with Jack from 1991; it was a journal his own father gifted to him from the university he went to.Journaling will affect the inner voice that is talking with you and can help shape how things go your way in the future.

Quick-Show Notes:In this episode of The Millionaire's Lawyer, JP and Dr. Eric Cole discuss:Margins and Valuation is everything, revenue isn't necessarily something to look at in regards to how successful that person isCurrently, people are able to hack other people and businesses fairly easily; Eric says these are the reasons why:People are letting their guards downBusinesses have uploaded there servers to all be on the internet causing a lot less securityFishing via email is easier than ever"If your child has attended school in the last 5 days she/he may have come in contact with another student - click here to find out more!"Zoom:All of the security features have been there from the start, but people had to turn them on.To avoid all the "zoombombing" that was happening they made those features mandatory instead of assuming the people using it would know to do so.Dr. Eric Cole says the three things needed to make sure you can control your meeting are:Making sure everyone is registeredValidate themMake sure that everyone is unmuted upon entry.The damage that is possible for a business is as follows:Theft of informationBreach of clients - causing your clients to lose trust which could be fatal to a businessSomeone could record the whole meeting and leak itIt is possible for the hacker to also gain complete control of your computer.Since Dr. Eric Cole is a major player in cybersecurity he was supposed to be in Trial numerous times this year. COVID-19 era CourtroomsBench judge available, but nothing requiring jurors.Dr. Eric Cole has been able to testify over ZOOMThe court system is already backed up 1 whole year since they are postponing everything that requires jurors - they are going to have to find a way to adapt to the new way of having to do things.If everything stays the way things are now everyone is going to have to find a way to keep the social aspect of things alive - even if just for mental health.Staying in and doing everything at home can be hard on everyone, make sure to go out when you can and socialize within the bubble you've created. Most people only look at the benefits of technology - for example, everyone was excited about "Alexa" until they realized that the device listened for two hours every day.Dr. Eric Cole and JP talk about how people are more focused on how the governments watching them, but seem to give little regard to the Big Tech corporations and how this is an issueThe government will not notice you or even look at you until you bring attention to yourself by doing something illegal.Big Tech watches everything so that they are able to Target Market to your digital persona. They bring in date from conversations you are having, things you are searching for, and direct ads to you in regards to that topic.Secure AnchorSecurity AssessmentsVirtual Training - Chief Information Security OfficerIf it is 100% secure it is 0% functional.

Quick-Show Notes:In this episode of The Millionaire's Lawyer, JP and Katherine Taylor discuss:JP and Katherine both agree that when tuning into American media outlets you need to be aware of the outlet you are observing because of how misleading/one sided they can be.Stick with your goals, yes you will have your ups and downs but take a breath and push forward.Stay Nimble, don't do the work that you can get someone else to doOutsource what you can so that you can focus on where you add value.Look at more than just the surface information when incorporating and make sure to consult your lawyer and accountants.Just because you incorporate somewhere with low tax rates doesn't mean that you get those rates, it could depend on the location in which you're bringing the money in.Layout and build a good foundation; when the business is ready incorporate it and then do the reinforcements.Prepare for a sale before the sale is happening. Have all the proper agreements in place so that the process can be easier; like Ownership agreements.Sometimes it could be better to have no agreement rather than an agreement that was poorly done and not tailored to your needs correctly.Paper your transactionHire the right people for the transaction, there is a lot to think of outside of just the transaction like employees, their retirement plans, and even corporate leases.Before you pick your lawyer date around and pick the lawyer that best suits you. It needs to be a good and trusting relationship.Connect with Katherine Taylor:WebsiteFacebookConnect with your host, JP:TwitterInstagramFacebookWebsiteShow:LinkedInEmail: jpmcavoy@conductlaw.comPhone: 1-833-890-8878THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR:Conduct LawWebsite

Quick-Show Notes:In this episode of The Millionaire's Lawyer, JP and Tom West discuss:Both JP and Tom West believe that it is a wonderful idea to incorporate your real estate business; a No Brainer to anyone making more than 200K.If you are claiming your income on your personal taxes you are in an insanely high tax bracket.Should you incorporate you are considered a small business and receive significantly lower tax rates. Basically 40% of taxes off of the top!!For example, the tax rate on 200K personally is 53%; through the corporation, it is 12.2% since you are considered a small business.The owner, yourself, could be paid in numerous ways as a shareholder. Tom mentions if you do it by dividend you could have major tax savings.Example. You make 100K, have 20K of expenses. there is 80K left over. You pay yourself a 40K dividend and avoid all taxes on itHaving a corporation allows you to save within it, and because you will be saving 40% of your current taxes, designate a small portion to go into a savings account for your future.Once you file your taxes for your first year, payments will be divided out for the next few years allowing equalization in expenses.You have to pay CPP no matter what you do - sole proprietor or incorporated, but the corporation will pay less in taxes.Income Splitbe credible to the revenue agencyAllows you to issue a Preferred ShareRelieves taxes on Income RulesA dividend of 40K is like a salary of 53KThe downside to Incorporations:Ongoing paperworkYou own a piece of the business, you are not the business anymoreReporting requirements are higherCorporate tax returns cost more than personalCompliance requirementsSection 85 allows you to roll over assets to the corporation, allowing you to deduct those.Make sure that your relationship to the brokerage is CLEAR, have the proper documentation with the proper languageHaving a corporation protects you personallyThe Personal Real Estate Corporations will allow you to have your children involved, and this is a great way to have flexibility in the future and allows for more planning opportunitiesAs a corporation, you have the flexibility to choose your year-end.Really good to have communication with your professional team often, and allow them to communicate with each other to make sure all bases are covered on all levels.Connect with Tom West:Website(613) 425-8871tom@swcpacga.comConnect with your host, JP:TwitterInstagramFacebookWebsiteShow:LinkedInEmail: jpmcavoy@conductlaw.comPhone: 1-833-890-8878THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR:Conduct LawWebsite

Quick-Show Notes:In this episode of The Millionaire's Lawyer, JP and Sandra Estok discuss:COVID-19 has changed how everything works nowadays and even how business owners are addressing it.We are more adaptable than ever before when it comes to the virtual worldBusiness owners and everyday people are learning to leverage the technology in different waysCommunication has changed now more than ever, and people might not want to go back to that way things were before; virtually meetings may stick around for example.When you are thinking of cybersecurity, think:Video conferencesEnsure your settings are properly set upMuting guest upon arrivalRequire passwordsProtecting your environmentThe importance of being diligentThere at 120K fake websites being created a day during this pandemic.Monsters under the bed are now real people behind screens, find ways to protect yourselfThese monsters could be anyone pretending to be another stranger or even your grandmother, mother, sister over the internetBusinesses are getting attacked and now is the time to make sure your IT is safeCyber-crime is real and is even treated as a normal job; for example, they could have a quote of how many fake identify they can take.Protect your online presenceHoles in the WallsMake sure to keep all of your devices and applications up to date.Keep your password something different, people will know your pet's name, address, parents maiden name by a simple lookup of you over social media.What did Sandra think of Password keepers? Well, she thinks they are a great thing because keeping your passwords safe is there ONLY focus.Set a reminder in your phone to go off every six months to go through your Privacy Settings again, as they auto-update and there might be something different.Use your passwords to work for you, have them make you smile when you think of them because you always have to enter them.Traveling causes for more risk, make sure you have full control of your ID, do not send anything over the provided WIFI, and know where your ID is at all times.VPNs are a great thing to have to help protect yourself when abroad, or even just away from your safe trusted network.Consider it all as an asset that your business has because it is something that is to your advantage.Having a common cyber story makes it easier for Sandra to connect with people in similar situationsCyber insurance is something you should look into to protect yourself from any future unforeseen attacks.Connect with Sandra Estok:InstagramFacebookTwitterWebsiteEmail: happilyevercyber@sandraestok.comConnect with your host, JP:TwitterInstagramFacebookWebsiteShow:LinkedInEmail: jpmcavoy@conductlaw.comPhone: 1-833-890-8878
Quick-Show Notes:In this episode of The Millionaire's Lawyer, JP and Jack Plotkin discuss:How getting people to slow down and read something is so hard nowadays, it is a great accomplishment.Qualities of a great leader:Look inwardIdentify their limitationsLeaders are better asking for help in areas they are unsure of instead of thinking that they are the best at everythingTechnology is a great place to start thinking of starting a business, it is ever growing and changing.If you are starting a brick and mortar, make sure to have it around experience and food.Wherever you see a problem, fix it and it could be a great opportunity.Areas with Promise:AIRoboticsTransportationJack Plotkin likes to invest in a start-up if:Proposition is clearMaking a positive social impactInvestors are quick to dismiss because they are aware of the success rate, and are used to startups failing.Need to give business owners a chance, not base it off of if they have multiple businesses or not. Startups that are going to investors may be the best at 90% of their own business, but the other 10% is a hole that will need to be filled but someone who is better at that than them.Due Diligence is super important; on the person, and on the business.A good CEO knows when to ask for help, but also knows how to receive criticism, process the advice, and then take the appropriate action.Sometimes you need to work with others to get your business to the next stepCore ValueCore Values actually matter to the clienteleCustomer Service should be one of everyone's core values.Don't cut costs on what actually matters. If you're in the food industry, don't cut the cost once you get your clientele base; it will be noticed.Be mindful that some investors may push you to cut costs to put more money in their own pockets.Open communication between investors and the business owner is essential if something does not work let them know; but if they don't do anything to change the issues than the investor may leave.A bad leader will put success in front of loyalty, but if you are able to separate the leader from the business, and give them an appropriate reward it will work out.Startups are like a movie!The better you are at your job, the more transparent things will be, and the easier things will go!Best genre of movie to invest in is HORROR.MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Quick-Show Notes:In this episode of The Millionaire's Lawyer, JP and Kevin Burciaga discuss:Physical Therapy has now accelerated to doing virtual meetings and has changed more in 4 weeks than it has in 4 years.After the pandemic, they may implement hybrid meetings, where instead of going into the therapist three times a week, you go once and do e-meetings for the other two.Virtual has it's placed, but people will still want the hands-on.People will still want to go out for concerts, sporting events, and even festivals, but they will defiantly be more aware of the number of people and the protection they need.Kevin likse to teach his clients to take a moment to sit down and focus, avoid multitasking, and be present.Harder than ever now to focus and enjoy your consciousness.When you get home from work, sit down, and do nothing for 15 minutes; it helps calm you down and separate the day.Intermittent Fasting (IF) is not a cure-all, but it definitely is a diet that is recommended.IF helps:Improve focusSelf-control and Self-MasteryIt's an unfortunate fact that processed foods are designed for people to consume more and more, and that is why it is key to avoid.We can confidently say that it is worth paying more for organic, local farm foods.The plant-based diet is now growing, but make sure to watch out for hidden sugars. There are a lot in certain plant-based kinds of milk.Current food trends always come and go, but do what works best for YOU.Lab-grown meats are going to take off, a lot of people are being more conscious of what harm is being done to the climate.Basic Healthy Eating Habits:Make incremental changesConsume unprocessed and organic foodsTry to eat foods with four (4) ingredients, and ones you can pronounce.Eat in complete silenceForces you to focusForces people to notice how much they are eating, and that they are actually consuming more than they need to beIt allows you to enjoy your food without your brain having to complete with other stimuli.Content is the new currency and if you don't have content, you will not get noticed.As a business owner, you should stay aware of the trends, and note that the Modern Attention span is "shorter than that of a goldfish"There is so much value in being able to hook the audiencePeople really need to slow down for a second and take care of themselves before they burnout.Tele-Health is now becoming essential, and if clinics do not provide e-meetings it is predicted for them to close.Everything is now having to change and evolve quickly due to this jolt.There is NO BETTER TIME to MAKE CHANGES; start off with small changes because over time they make a massive difference.Nudge your brain in the right direction, and be patient.
