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.

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.

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.

What have you heard about Reverse Mortgages? In this brief highlight, Pete Tentler of Liberty Home Equity dispels 2 common misconceptions about Reverse Mortgages. The interview was conducted by Bill Black, The Exit Coach, on The Exit Coach Radio Show - the Information Station for Baby Boomer Business Owners contemplating Business Succession and Exit Planning.
Transcript:
Pete: Many believe that when you obtain a reverse mortgage, the lender owns the home. However, this is not true. The borrower's will retain the title and ownership during the life of the loan, and they can sell their home at any time. The loan will not become due as long as the borrower continues to meet loan obligations, such as living in their home as their primary residence, maintaining the home according to the FHA requirements, and paying property taxes and homeowner's insurance, just like you normally would.
Bill: I had heard one time that home equity conversion mortgage means that they lose the home when they die. Now, is that correct, or is that wrong?
Pete: That's wrong. This is another common misconception. Their heirs can sell the home to pay off the loan or keep the home by paying off the loan, balance in full. So, they can live in the home for as long as they desire, and at no time can we say, "hey, time for you to move out." As long as they maintain the property as their primary residence, and pay their property taxes and insurance, they can live in the home forever.

Mahyar Ghassemian, Ghassemian & Associates, discusses the need to budget for preventative planning, especially for businesses that are in high-risk categories.
Mahyar Ghassemian, was admitted to the California State Bar in 1999. Mahyar has a Masters’ degree in Physics from California State University, Long Beach and obtained her Juris Doctor degree , graduating cum laude from Western State University College of Law in Fullerton, California. While in law school Mahyar was invited to the California Court of Appeal in Santa Ana where she honed her research and writing skills as an extern for Presiding Justice, David Sil.
Transcript:
Bill: Ben Franklin once said an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but how does that translate in the business world? Here's attorney Mahyar Ghassemian.
Mahyar: Some of my largest clients have a policy that they set a set amount every month aside for legal expenses, because they understand that they need the advice of an attorney. What becomes really hard for people to see is the fact that once they get into a lawsuit, then they're going to have to be into it for a year and a half to two years, and everything, all of their life's belongings, can be put in jeopardy if they haven't spend a little bit of money upfront to protect it before it gets into a lawsuit, because lawsuits are very, very expensive.
