Chuck Blakeman is in the business of rehumanizing business by giving everyone their brain back and going to talk about 3to5 Club. Questions Answered: 1. What is 3to5 Club and what makes it so unique? 2. Why is it called 3to5? 3. I understand that there are opportunities for people to become a 3to5 facilitator. What does that entail? Contact Info: Email: krista@cranksetgroup.com Website: 3to5Club.com Success stories of 3to5 members: Chris Crigler - Chris was going out of business and didn’t think that he could even make that week’s payroll. Because of the outside eyes and help from his fellow 3to5 members, he got it turned around immediately. Now he has approximately 14 on staff and a thriving business. Nat Bruno - had one small business when he joined 3to5 Club. 18 months later he had two of them and took off for a year in a Winnebago and ran them both from Skype. And he helped others do it, too. Jennifer Hanzlick - was running her hoarder trash hauling business from behind the wheel of her only truck. She did everything from the truck, accounting, sales, invoicing, customer relations - everything. Ran into the back of a school bus and realized she couldn’t do it anymore. She applied the 3to5 Club tools and methodologies and now has four trucks and 20+ staff members, and works only a few days a week. John Brokken - I have been apart of the 3to5 community for over three years and it has been an amazing experience for both my business but also personally. Before I joined 3to5 Club, I didn't have any entrepreneurial friends but after I joined I suddenly had 15+ great entrepreneurial friends that have become the core of my friends / my community. These people were there to support me in the lows and the highs, which can be very drastic when it comes to new businesses.Joining my 3to5 club was the most important and beneficial thing I have done for myself and for my business in the last4 years because of that support and community that I believe every entrepreneur needs, especially in the beginning.I'm indebted to and so grateful for Chuck Blakeman creating this community and for Julia Gentry being an amazing facilitator that nails the presentation of the content with her own spin and style that really hits home for me.

Kevin Walker, President of Boardwalk discusses the importance of establishing your Brand in the years before your Exit and the huge value that is wrapped up in your brand. We add new content daily, so check back often! Transcript Kevin: Well, I go back to grand promise: a brand is not your logo, it’s not your name, it’s the promise you make and keep to your customers base. And so, you need to be thinking about, how I can I make that promise unique to my organization? The second thing I would be thinking about: a brand needs care & feeding, we need to be thinking about it, if not every day, then at least every week, or every month. Whenever you make a big decision, you should be asking yourself, how is this going this to effect our brand, how does this effect the promise that we’ve made to our customers? Is it going to take us off course, or is it going to focus us? And if it is going to take you off course, then you need to think long and hard about it. And then, I do want to say, that it is really worthwhile to brand your company. One study has shown that up to 68% of the value of the average US company is for the brand alone. You can see how much that’s gonna add to the value of your company, I mean that’s almost 70%.

Sprague Team, discusses how finding your "zero point" is the key to reducing frustration, increasing performance and happiness. Transcription: Bill: What would your life be like if you could just do what you want to do all the time? Here's expert Chris Sprague. Chris: The beautiful part about today is, when you hit 50, you still have half your life ahead of you. If your listeners take nothing else from me than this, I want them to hear this. If you do what you were meant to do, if you find your zero point and live to that for even one day, even one hour of one day of your life, even if it's the last hour of your life, then your life has been a success because there so any people, there are millions of people out there, who don't even live one hour of their life knowing their true purpose, knowing their true zero point, knowing their true DNA and making that true impact. So if you can find that, even if it's the last hour of your life or the last day or the last week, always strive to find it because that will make your life successful, and I guarantee it will make you happy.

Host: Bill Black. Annette is a seasoned bookkeeper and QuickBooks consultant who helps small business owners get the most out of the QuickBooks software. Audio library: www.ExitCoachRadio.com. New content daily - check back often! Transcription: Bill: When should someone consider outsourcing books to someone like yourself? Annette: I always think it's a good idea. The only time you shouldn't is if you're just getting started, and literally you can't afford it. We know how lean it is the first few months or first few years in a business. And at some point you have to just sort of just choose, look, in a perfect world, I would have this, but I won't. So, that would be one instance where you wouldn't. Alternatively, if your business is really simple, and you, or your spouse, or your assistant, or your fill in the blank, some trusted person, has a strong accounting background and knows Quickbooks fair well, and they're going to do it for you, awesome. Or, if you, yourself, have that accounting background, and you have the time to do it. But, I just think that in most cases it's not the best use of the business owner's time, and often they're not going to do as good of a job.

We add new content daily! Listen on iTunes: iTunes.ExitcoachRadio.com. See the Index for more on this Topic or by this Guest. Transcript: KJ: Probably the most asked question, which is probably 95% of the time, is: how do I engage into a prospect the minute we turn around and walk away from each other? Because most people say, "I’m not good at follow-up,” and that’s professionals across the board. And we do start with the memo pad, having a short memo that you can send to them in a text, saying, it was a pleasure meeting you, and please look forward to a one-time email. And you say the word one-time because it relaxes their mind and it makes them think you’re not a spammer. And then you follow up with an email saying, as promised, here’s an email. And if you can do that immediately when walking away, you’ll get a lot more respect, people will want to do business with you more often.

Listen on iTunes: iTunes.ExitcoachRadio.com . Transcript Richard: The first thing you have to do, I think, that's important, is to make sure that the family documents and understands their shared history. Where the family came from, how they got there. You know, a lot of times that doesn't get documented, doesn't get shared with the kids. They say when somebody dies it's like a library burns down, all that wisdom, all that potential mentorship is lost for all future generations of the family. And so, we make sure and gather that, we capture it, we interview the parents, we do video interviews, audio interviews. We create what we call a family vision statement that tells the next generation, "Okay, this is how we got here, this is what we believe is important, these are the values and the experiences that made us successful, this is what we want you guys to know going forward. Now, it's your turn to figure out what you're gonna do with your life. Here's the baton."

Transcript: Christopher: A blue ocean is really a market that is untapped. What they're encouraging you to do in a blue ocean, is go where others have not gone yet, and it's an untapped, really undefined market. And I feel like that's how the exit planning industry is right now. You've got a lot of owners that still have not made the move, and yet we know that two-thirds of privately held businesses are owned by baby boomers. We know the youngest is 50 and the oldest is 68, now, and so at some point, mother nature is going to force us to transition. Unfortunately, there is still different ways to do things, there's still very fragmented kinks, and teams and advisors don't work together and collaborate like they should.

Bill Spetrino is a professional investor who has made millions for his clients and himself through strategic investing. A trained accountant, he graduated from John Carroll University in Ohio and spent a decade teaching. A lifelong entrepreneur as well, Spetrino set out to understand and codify a simple dividend investing strategy for amassing a retirement nest egg, an idea that eventually led to the creation of The Dividend Machine newsletter for Newsmax in 2009. Using his strategy, Spetrino picks the kinds of dividend stocks Warren Buffett or the late Sir John Templeton would recommend — long-term cash generators that also can offer handsome appreciation potential. Questions Answered: 1) How can I have $100,000 in dividend income in 24 years while making less than 5 figure income? 2) How can I prepare for retirement? 3) Why are stocks are the best investment?

Transcript: Bill: Okay, so it’s your first chance at selling your business, here’s some great wisdom from somebody who’s done it many times, Rick Usher. Rick: I think the realism we talked about, first of all: what is my business really worth? People have these proprietary feelings about their business, and they think often times it’s worth a lot more than it is, that’s the first thing. The second thing is that they’ve gotta be realistic as to how they’re gonna make this transition. I think it’s very unlikely for most business sellers to find a buyer who’s gonna walk up and write them a check, so they need to figure out and plan how they are gonna exit this thing, whether it’s seller carry-back financing, whether it’s, as we just discussed, they’re gonna find somebody internally who can take over and generate the revenue to pay the seller, or whether it’s some other alternative. That’s the biggest challenge, I think. To hear more tips from over 750 Advisors, visit exitcoachradio.com Listeners: You asked, so we found FREE solutions for 5 of your top problem areas.

Host: Bill Black, The Exit Coach Radio Show - the Information Station for age 50+ business owners. Transcript: Bill: What's the best way to use Twitter and other social media? We ask expert Tim Templeton. Tim: I just had a friend ask me today, I don't really get Twitter, what is the value? And I said, you know, it's 2 things, it's self-promotion, or business promotion in his case, and it's research. So, if you want people to know who you are and what you're doing, you create content, you create blog content. You want people to see it, one of the best ways to get it out in front of people is to send out an announcement using Twitter. Likewise, if you're trying to find people in your ecosystem, your business, the analysts, the re-sellers, potential partners, you can find them by their activity on Twitter, you can interact with them, you can follow them, you can re-Tweet things that they're sending, and you can create a relationship that way, which is a lot easier than it used to be in the old days.

Host: Bill Black. Audio library: www.ExitCoachRadio.com. Bill Black interviews David Karofsky, who discusses the difficulties of family business issues, how to resolve conflicts, and the importance of understanding. New content daily - check back often! Transcript: David: Whether you're a family or you're a family business, the difficulty that families often have is getting into a room and really talking about the issues, the challenges, the differences, the conflict that has happened either over the years that has built up, or a current situation that may be happening. And what happens is, the presenting issue isn't communication, the presenting issue is often, "I don't know how to pass this business down my son or my daughter who are in the business, and the two of them are never in alignment, and I don't know what I'm going to do." But, often, underlying in the inability to allow they to get into a room, allow them to be heard, as Steven Covy says, "seek first to understand, then be understood." And if families can abide by that, and be able to develop better ways to communicate, it's going to help alleviate a lot of the challenges that are presented in a family business."

Host: Bill Black. Audio library: www.ExitCoachRadio.com. Ken Sanginario discusses how to build value to support growth, and the importance of not taking shortcuts. New content daily - Check back often! Transcript: Ken: Most business owners believe that the only way they can build value in their companies is to aggressively grow sales or cut costs. And, as it turns out, both of those approaches are the wrong initial approaches to building values. Growing your company without building the infrastructure around the company to support the growth can actually destroy value, and cutting costs destroys long term value. But that's all they know, so when they get introduced to us and our platform, they realize all the other elements they have to put in place, develop, and get fully functional in order to be able to support growth.

A creative idea from Harley Bjelland, a creative man. Find his full interview with the search bar. We upload new content daily so please check back often! Transcript: Bill: How can you motivate your employees to grow your company using your 401k plan? Listen to Harley Bjelland. Harley: Everyone's got a match in their 401k plan, well not everyone, but a lot of people have matches in their 401k plan, and they just do 50 cents on the dollar. What I've done, is I have a lot of clients that have a formula driven match. So, if we do, and I hate to use terms like ivada, but if we do ivada, which is basically a different method of profitability for the company, you're gonna get a bigger match. So, if we do 2 times ivada, you're gonna get 2 times the match, if we do 1 times ivada, you're gonna get 1 times the match, if you do half of it, we get half. And this is something that's really changed, I mean, honestly, I work with ESOPs a lot, ESOPS are Employee Stock Ownership Plans, and what it is is the employees all get to own the business. And when you communicate these things appropriately, I mean, literally, people stop stealing pens. It's a great situation.
