Josh Brown discusses business ownership and offers tried & true methods that help both business and franchise owners scale and grow. 

Transcript: 

Bill: So, where do people tend to go wrong when they get into franchising?

Josh: I think people fall in love with brands, but they don't understand the underlying business model. And, if you're going to buy a franchise, and be a good operator, you have to understand the underlying business model. I think people don't take as much time and consideration into factoring in their territories, because, as much as you are buying a system, and you're buying a brand, and you're buying the expertise of somebody else who has come before you, your location, your backyard, your geographic location is so important for your business because we were talking about how small business who are not franchised compete against franchises, well franchises are competing against them, as well.

Laura Ladoux shares a quick idea regarding setting up a business in a Community Property State (like CA). 

Transcript: 

Bill: What are some of the things you should be thinking about when you set up your business in a community property state? Here's Laura Ladoux.

Laura: One of my favorite things to do is help people understand that California is a community property state, and a lot of people don't really understand what the ramifications are of setting up a business when you are living in a community property state and you do have a spouse. One of the things I like to do is to sit down and find out if we need to have a community property meeting in place, is the spouse going to be a part of the company, do they want to be completely hands off? You know, we don't like to think of divorce, but my job as an attorney and as a legal business coach is to look at the holistic aspect of it and to prevent problems before they come, and it's a lot easier when you're setting up a partnership or a community property agreement when everyone's happy and friendly, to determine, okay, on the off-chance that this dissolves, what are we going to do?

Host: Buck Blanton. Audio library: www.ExitCoachRadio.com. A discussion about the new trends to automate employer-sponsored retirement plans in order to produce a better retirement outcome.New content daily - check back often!

Transcript: 

Tim: If you've got a number of participants that are around 60 years old, for example, and you take the statistics that we just said in terms of how much money people would save for retirement and their readiness, and they look at it and they think, "well, I think I'm gonna keep working another three or four years," and then they start doing the math and they realize, "wait a minute, I don't have the money to do that." Well then, what's the natural tendency? They continue to work. And if that happens, you've got people working into their late sixties, early seventies. Nothing wrong with that, but what's the cost implication to the employer to have those folks as part of the health & welfare program that the employer, their productivity and those types of things. Those are opportunities for employers to really look at that. You know, those outcomes could actually get them to refocus on, as opposed to just offering the plan, having the plan work, and actually reach some of the goals in giving those folks an opportunity to leave when they're ready to leave.

A 1 minute highlight of John Dade's interview. 

Transcript: 

Bill: Why should an investor look into something like a managed future? 

John: Well, managed futures should be part of every investment portfolio. This goes back to the 1950's. A lot of people smarter than myself, Harvard professors, professors at the University of Chicago, Henry Markowitz back in the 1950's, came up with what's called, "Professionally Managed Futures: A Modern Portfolio Theory," which states that when you add a non correlated asset class to a balanced portfolio, not only do you get higher rates of return, but you also reduce your overall volatility and risk in the portfolio. A future's position is a commitment to do something whether you guess right or wrong, and it can be very expensive. On the other side, an option's position is what it is, it gives you the option, if you're right or wrong, to commit. So, simply, it's less downside risk.

Transcript: 

Bill: It's been said that one of the building blocks of planning is managing your time properly, but how do you do that best? Here's an idea from action coach David Roemer. 

David: To track your time for one week, you really have a much better idea of where you're wasting your time right now. I know I've done it, and I was shocked. I didn't realize I was spending as much time, for example, just doing things like answering emails that really didn't need to get answered right then and there, that could've waited. Doing things like picking up the phone instead of letting it go to voicemail and having to get back to what I was doing after the phone call. Because those distractions kind of throw you off, you waste time. So, tracking your time for a week really gives you a better sense of where you're wasting your time.

Transcript: 

 

Don: The law defines the minimum standard of care that must be demonstrated by either a trustee or an advisor, the minimum. In other words, if you want to have a qualified retirement plan, you must meet the minimum standards of care. It's not the job of the Department of Labor to define the highest standard of care for retirement plans, it's the job of the regulator to say, at a minimum, you must meet this requirement in order to maintain the qualifications of your plan. What it's gonna take to make retirement plans more productive for employees and participants in those plans, requires a leadership and stewardship response. Doesn't require more rules and regulations, it requires the plan's sponsor to take on more leadership and stewardship responsibility for the employees that work for that company.
