Defined benefit plans are powerful retirement and tax-saving tools for business owners, yet they can seem highly technical and overwhelming. Unlike 401(k)s where employees contribute individually, defined benefit (DB) plans are employer-sponsored, with the company making large contributions on behalf of the participant—often the business owner. This structure allows much higher contribution limits, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, providing significant tax deferral and accelerated retirement savings.To operate correctly, a DB plan requires the involvement of an actuary. The actuary determines contributions based on factors like participant age, expected rate of return, and retirement goals. These calculations ensure that the plan can deliver a guaranteed monthly benefit during retirement. While this makes DB plans more complex and costly to administer compared to 401(k)s, the advantages—larger contributions, lower tax liability, and higher long-term retirement savings—often outweigh the costs.Plan sponsors must be mindful of investment risk. If portfolio performance falls short, additional contributions may be required to “true up” the plan, especially when employees are involved. For solo entrepreneurs, this risk is less concerning, but it still requires careful investment oversight. DB plans are generally aligned with more conservative investment strategies and long-term liability matching, ensuring that assets and future retirement obligations remain balanced.Compliance and administration are critical. Sponsors must ensure accurate benefit calculations, proper contribution strategies, and adherence to IRS regulations, including annual reporting and actuarial evaluations. Consultants like Kenner French and his team play a key role in guiding sponsors through these responsibilities, optimizing tax strategies, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Regular plan design reviews, funding adjustments, and communication with participants (when applicable) are essential for smooth plan management.Ultimately, defined benefit plans can be an exceptional retirement and tax strategy, particularly for entrepreneurs who want to maximize savings quickly. They offer higher contribution limits, substantial tax deductions, and long-term wealth-building opportunities. However, they require ongoing oversight, proper plan design, and collaboration with actuaries and consultants to remain compliant and effective. With the right guidance, DB plans can significantly strengthen both retirement readiness and business financial planning.Takeaways• Defined benefit plans are employer-sponsored retirement plans.• Actuaries play a crucial role in calculating retirement benefits.• Tax deferral is a significant advantage of defined benefit plans.• Plan sponsors must ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.• Investment strategies must align with the plan's long-term goals.• Effective communication with participants is essential for plan success.• Regular plan design optimization is necessary for effectiveness.• Market resilience is a key consideration in investment management.• Proper administration can lead to substantial tax savings for business owners.Sound Bites• You have to have an actuary, really smart person• You can put away a lot for savings• You could put away a ton of money, a ton of moneyListen & Subscribe for More:

What do control, perfectionism, and money have in common? For many of us, they're deeply rooted in childhood wounds, and they're the very blocks standing between us and our manifestations.In this heartfelt Q&A episode, Lacy and Jessica respond to powerful community questions that crack open the real energetics behind love, money, motherhood, and glass ceilings. Whether you're navigating burnout, trying to call in more income, or craving peace while juggling life's many demands, this conversation offers guidance, tools, and expansion to help you move forward. You'll hear personal revelations from Lacy and Jessica about their own inner child programming around control; how it shows up in work, relationships, and even wedding planning. And they offer expansive, grounded advice to two listeners: one manifesting full-time motherhood and another trying to break through a financial glass ceiling while living paycheck to paycheck.This episode is for anyone working through the TBM Money Challenge, or anyone asking: “Why do I still feel stuck?” Because often, the block isn't what you think—it's what you've normalized. So tune in for deep permission to slow down, reassess, and come back into alignment with what's truly authentic for you. The abundance you're calling in might just require a little less effort—and a little more letting go. Stay tuned for Part 2 in a few weeks!Find the Complete Show Notes Here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: SALE IS LIVE$22/monthJoin the Pathway MembershipSale ends July 20th at 11:59pm PST Join our membership to access the TBM Money Challenge The Pathway Membership gives you unlimited access to all of our manifestation workshops—including How to Manifest, Unblocking Your Inner Child, Shadow, Love, Money, Rock Bottoms, Ruts, and Energetic Updates —plus 70+ self-hypnosis tracks designed to unlock your full potential.LEARN MORE HERE Get the latest from TBMNeed motivation during the Money Challenge?

What if your financial story was something you felt empowered and excited by?In this episode, Jessica sits down with Britt Baker, seasoned investor and co-founder of Dow Janes. Britt has a background in consulting and a degree from Harvard Business School, however, it wasn't until years later, when she saw many of her close friends struggling with their own finances that she realized how many women lacked the financial literacy to build wealth.In this conversation, Britt breaks down the exact steps she teaches to get out of debt, build an emergency fund, invest with confidence (even if you've never done it before), and move from financial fear into financial freedom. – basically, everything you wish you learned in school. This is more than a conversation about saving and investing—it's a holistic look at how healing your relationship with money unlocks manifestation. If you've ever felt stuck in survival mode, afraid to look at your bank account, or convinced investing “just isn't for you,” this episode is for you. Get ready to rewrite your money narrative and step into the identity of someone who is not only financially secure, but magnetic.Find the Complete Show Notes Here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: SALE IS LIVE! $22/monthJoin the Pathway MembershipJoin our membership to access the TBM Money Challenge The Pathway Membership gives you unlimited access to all of our manifestation workshops—including How to Manifest, Unblocking Your Inner Child, Shadow, Love, Money, Rock Bottoms, Ruts, and Energetic Updates —plus 70+ self-hypnosis tracks designed to unlock your full potential.LEARN MORE HERE Get the latest from TBMJoin our Money Challenge - 3 weeks to your next level of abundanceTake our Free Money Quiz - find out what level of wealth consciousness you are at Join the Pathway now to get full access to our Money Challenge now! New to TBM?
