Transcript:
Tony: I get a call from a gentleman, he wanted to know if I can come in and talk to him and his partner, and I was pleased to do that. When I got there, I found out they were having their best year yet, financially, but their worst year personally. The business was 20 years deep and they had lots going for them, but the fun was gone. And they hardly talked to each other inside the office anymore, let alone outside the office. They wanted to know if I could help, and I told them I would, as long as they were willing to think outside the box. So we did some investigation and identified their goals, and we created a plan that we could put into effect. And the first, and most important, piece was for them to have the conversations that they so often avoided even though they knew they were going to be helpful, because they were uncomfortable. So I was able to facilitate discussion and get them to open up, and that really caused their relationship to warm up and flourish. Then, we turned to some of the different things, the procedural, and logistic, and strategic concerns within the business.

Paul Cronin - What Will Your Life Be Like After You Exit?
Thursday Sep 08, 2016
Thursday Sep 08, 2016
In this 1 minute highlight, Paul Cronin, Partner & Director of Business Development of the Successful Transition Planning Institute discusses 3 basic questions to contemplate as you prepare for a fulfilling life after Business Sale or Transition.
Transcript:
Paul: There are a few essential questions you need to answer, and these are really existential questions. Okay, what's next for me? Number two is, what should I be doing with my business? Number three is, what should I be doing with my life? And when you have a very straightforward process to answer those questions, you end up creating new ideas, new opportunities, and then from there, you can start making decisions about which of these great new ideas are really good and which of them maybe aren't so great after all, until you make better decisions, more thoughtful decisions, or, what we call, more balanced decisions. And whenever you do that, you are more likely to come out with a better outcome, a more satisfactory transition from being the business owner to whatever this new life it is you've decided on.

Among the many challenges unique to today's generation of working parents trying to save for retirement is the fact that college tuition costs have never been higher. According to figures from the College Board, the average cost of attending a public university (including tuition, fees, room, and board) for the 2013-2014 academic year was $18,391 for in-state students and $31,701 for out-of-state students. For private, non-profit colleges and universities, the average was $40,917.*
So daunting are those numbers for most parents that a majority of them admit they aren't even trying to save for their children's college. In a report released recently byCertified Financial Planner (CFP) Board of Standards, Inc., more than two-thirds (69 percent) of 1,003 parents surveyed said that they have not started saving for their children's higher education because everyday living expenses have left no additional funds.**
It's a sad finding, of course, but not really surprising when you consider that those "everyday living expenses" may include not just food, housing, and utilities, but a multitude of other financial demands and predicaments that are - in many instances - unique to today's generation of working Americans.
Is it Any Wonder?
As I've noted in previous columns, some of these predicaments have arisen in just the past few years as part of the fallout from two major stock market drops since the year2000, the collapse of the housing market, and the onset of the Great Recession. In the wake of the recession, for example, many Americans were forced to refinance their mortgages. At the same time, basic middle-class living costs have gone up while incomes have stagnated. And here's the biggest irony: according to the CFP survey, nearly half of today's working parents (an estimated 48 percent) have fallen behind on their own college loans and are still struggling to pay off their student debt! So, is it really any wonder that junior's college fund has been forced way down on the priority list?
Interestingly, though,the CFP survey also indicates that among the priorities most Americans put ahead of college planning, the top two are: building an emergency fund and saving for retirement. That's interesting because it suggests the assumption that college planning and retirement planning need to be, or ought to be, separate things, which is not really the case. On the contrary; people should be aware that comprehensive financial planning can enable you to meet your current needs while working toward all of your long-term goals - including college and retirement - simultaneously, and often in ways that are mutually beneficial to each goal. Conversely, separating and prioritizing long-term goals can very often cause you to miss out on opportunities to enhance or expedite the growth of your assets overall, or to protect them from unnecessary losses. This requires strategy, however, and financial planning expertise on an expert level.
Tax Breaks
To clarify that point, let's look at those CFP survey respondents who reported that they were, in fact, saving for their children's higher education. Among them, the majority (61 percent) said that they were doing so through a savings account, while 40 percent said they were using a 529 plan and 33 percent said they were using "investments." Now, these strategies may all be ideal for these individuals depending on their situations, and provided they are part of a comprehensive plan that also incorporates retirement and other long-term goals. If not, then these individuals may not be saving for college nearly as effectively as they could be. They may, for instance, be losing out on tax breaks or opportunities to maximize returns on their 529 plans and investments. Also, hopefully these parents are aware that certain investment tools undercut financial aid eligibility while others do not. That's important when you consider 56 percent of people surveyed said they were"counting on" some level of financial aid to help cover their children's college costs.
The bottom line is that with so many unprecedented financial challenges facing Americans as they plan for retirement, it's understandable that for many, the prospect of saving for college might seem too daunting to even think about. But the fact is,professional guidance and comprehensive financial planning can help you not only put the kids through school, but simultaneously prepare for a comfortable retirement marked by financial security and dependable, lifelong income.

Transition Choices -- Paul Cronin
Sunday Feb 02, 2014
Sunday Feb 02, 2014
1. You are GOING to leave your business someday. You only have two choices for transitioning:
a. Plan your transition on YOUR terms
b. Let OTHERS plan it FOR you (i.e., family, governments, courts, lawyers, etc.)
2. Most business owners think of retirement as one of two choices:
a. Die at their desk (because they can’t think of anything more meaningful to do)
b. Retire to a boring, meaningless life (i.e. “The Golden Years” our grandparents retirement)
i. We say: no there is a third choice – The Platinum Years℠, a dynamic life, full of purpose and meaning, the best 10,20 or 30 years of life
3. Leaving your business is NOT a “Do It Yourself” project. Depending on the size of your business, you will need at least 4 and as many as 17 different advisors
a. Why? Because the skills and knowledge you have gained to start and run your business, are NOT the same skills and knowledge that you need to leave your business, and you don’t have 20 years to learn them all
