In this episode, we’re talking about estate planning. As in wills, trusts and powers of attorney. I know, it’s not sexy, but it is important. Estate planning isn’t just something for people with a lot of money. It’s about making things as easy as possible for your loved ones when you’re gone, and whether you’ve got $10 or $10 million in assets, that matters. If you’re thinking that having a will takes care of this, you may be surprised to learn that a will doesn’t do that much - and can create serious legal and financial headaches for your beneficiaries. Furthermore, if you have children, I cannot stress this enough: please get an estate plan in place along with appropriate life insurance. If you get in trouble and really need life insurance or estate planning documents in place, it’s often (unfortunately) too late, and whether you’re new parents or retirees making plans for your golden years, it’s highly likely that you need more than just a will to protect your family and your assets. If you’re wondering wh

In this short episode, we’re talking about what’s happening in the stock market in the aftermath of the coronavirus outbreak. Unfortunately, the coronavirus (COVID-19) is here. My heart goes out to all of the individuals, families, communities and countries that have been affected. Many of us remain on high alert, myself included, because we are the parents or children of immune-compromised individuals who are especially susceptible. The purpose of today’s episode is to help you make sense of what’s happening in the investment markets recently and in the near term future, so that instead of focusing on your money, you can keep your focus on remaining healthy. It’s definitely true that companies that depend on global travel and complex international supply chains could be in serious trouble. But how will this outbreak affect you and your money? If you’re invested in the stock market with a diversified basket of investments designed to serve your needs and meet your timelines, your accounts are probably down. A

Perhaps you’re really starting to come into your own as an earner and thinking you could benefit from working with a financial advisor. Maybe you’ve met with several people who all call themselves financial advisors, but were surprised to discover that there was no consistency at all in what they did or the services they offered. You may also be wondering why so many advisors charge for their services in completely different ways. If your initial research into the world of financial advisors has left you with more confusion than clarity, today’s episode of Profit Boss® Radio is for you. A great financial advisor is someone who you can trust deeply - and who prioritizes your success above everything else. They should help you create a world-class investment experience uniquely suited for your needs, give you the tools to thrive in life, and help you create a legacy and estate that you’ll be able to pass on to the next generation. So, do you want to know the most important questions to ask, the red flags to loo

In this episode, we’re talking about how to use scholarships to pay for college. We’ve all heard the horror stories of those who graduate with hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt. Many of my clients are faced with the very real tradeoff between making sure their kids graduate with no (or minimal) debt and funding their own retirement. To make matters worse, there’s so much conflicting information around the topic of financial aid that it can be completely overwhelming. It takes practice to learn the difference between a marketing scam and a real opportunity, and few students discover how many incredible scholarships are out there for the taking. If you’re trying to make sense of it all and can’t figure out how you (or your kids) will pay for college or university, today’s episode of Profit Boss® Radio is for you. I’m joined by Jocelyn Paonita Pearson, founder of The Scholarship System. Over the course of her college career, Jocelyn secured over $126,000 in college scholarships, graduated with zer

In this episode, we’re talking about writing and publishing books. Almost everyone has a book inside of them waiting to be written. You don’t have to be an entrepreneur who wants to spread your message and grow your empire to write a book, either. You could be a doctor looking to share nutritious recipes you’ve crafted for your patients. You could even have a full-time job and a great career, but want to write the Great American Novel to express your creative energy. No matter what you write about, you’ll ultimately have to choose how you’re going to share your book with the world. At that point, you’ll have to decide between self-publishing or working with an imprint of a publishing house. I’ve personally been thinking about writing a book for a very long time. I’ve attended a number of conferences, learned what it’s like to self-publish, and taken a $5,000 course on how to publish traditionally. After doing all of this research, I decided not to write a book at the time, but as my business has grown, I’m ac

Today’s topic is one that is very close to my heart. I’ve worked with hundreds of business owners to increase their wealth. It’s something I’m very passionate about, and business financials are invariably intimidating. Honestly, I rarely meet a business owner who feels they have a good grasp on their costs, revenue sources, and profit, let alone what to do about any of that. The worst part is that I see so many business owners languish in “I’m still in ‘investing in my business’ mode” which is always code for “I’m not paying myself enough.” It’s a common, chronic condition that I’m out to cure!  Business can be the golden road to an amazing lifestyle, but you have to PAY YOURSELF in order to accomplish that. Otherwise, you’ve simply built yourself a job. So, let’s get to work decoding your business numbers.   In today’s episode, we’re digging into how to measure financial performance for three types of businesses: product businesses, brick-and-mortar businesses, and online businesses. You’ll learn what the mo

EP 151 | Profit Boss® Radio Welcome to episode 151 of Profit Boss® Radio! In the last several episodes I have shared that my team and I have been doing some deep soul searching in a coached environment. We have been asking ourselves the following questions: What is our purpose? What fulfills us? What do we want people to have as a result of us being on the planet? As a direct result, we came to redefine our ultimate mission, which is “All people are thriving.” One of the many realizations that came from asking these critical questions is that I can speak to you about more than money. I can also cover topics that address ways to improve every aspect of your life. In this week’s episode, I am joined by Courtney Townley, host of Grace and Grit podcast.

EP 149 | Profit Boss® Radio Welcome to episode 149 of Profit Boss® Radio! In this episode, I’m taking a peek behind the curtain to reveal the top eight investment mistakes that can derail your retirement. Why am I covering this topic? Well, because if you are a listener of the show, not yet a client, there is a large possibility that you may be managing your investments on your own, or perhaps you have a relationship with a financial advisor who has saddled you with investments you have mediocre confidence in. If that is the case, I want to equip you with knowledge that can inoculate you against making these common investment missteps that can undermine your ability to reach your full wealth potential. You see, the financial mistakes that can negatively impact your financial trajectory are often the ones you don’t see coming or don’t know to watch out for. Lucky for you, you’re a listener of Profit Boss® Radio, and I’m about to blow the whistle on investment mistakes that can cost you significantly in retirem

EP 148 | Profit Boss® Radio Welcome to episode 148 of Profit Boss® Radio! In this episode, I had the opportunity to interview Kim Bohr. Kim Bohr is the CEO of The Innovare Group, a certified executive advisor, and a sought-after speaker. She combines 20 years of practical business experience as a cross-functional executive with her passion to make people and businesses better from the inside out.   In today’s episode, Kim shares with us her 3A framework and how you can apply it to your career advancement goals. The 3A’s are: assess, align, and accelerate. Assess means taking an in-depth analysis of the different components within your career. Then, finding the gaps and creating a plan to align your career with your goals. Finally, being able to apply those things you have discovered to design and accelerate your career.    Along with teaching us her 3A framework Kim shares practical tips on how to intentionally build your network. Oftentimes people can grow intimidated when you talk about networking. When uti

EP 147 | Profit Boss® Radio Welcome to episode 147 of Profit Boss® Radio! In this week’s episode, I had the opportunity to interview Chris Farrell. Chris is an economics editor with Bloomberg and a senior contributor with NPR Marketplace. He brings a great perspective on purpose and careers regardless of your age.   According to Farrell, creativity isn’t a skill you lose. If you are creative in your 20s, you can still be creative in your 60s as long as you are given the opportunity. Even though many people retire from the workforce at 55 and older, they oftentimes still feel that they have so much to offer and aren’t ready to hang their hat up completely. It should come as no surprise that many retirees still want to live productive lives - one that is purposeful and meaningful.  Join us for today’s episode as Chris and I discuss how your second half of life can be just as fulfilling as your first half. Tune in to find out how you can create income and purpose in your life no matter your age. Here’s what you’

Welcome to episode 146 of Profit Boss® Radio! Identity protection is so crucial in this day and age that I felt we needed two episodes to cover all the information. If you have been following the news, you have definitely heard countless stories of people falling prey to identity theft.  According to Javelin Research, identity theft is on the rise and the most recent study shows the odds of you becoming a victim is now 1 in 3! With the increased usage of social media and online consumerism, people are sharing more information and, subsequently, becoming more vulnerable. Monitoring your identity is becoming a part of life, and there are methods you can use to make it a little bit easier to manage.  This episode contains many pertinent tips and tactics that you can apply today to help safeguard your financial life. Tune in to this week’s episode as we continue our discussion about how to protect your identity. Here’s what you’ll find out in this week’s episode of Profit Boss® Radio  Adam Levin’s 3M identity t

Welcome to The Retirement Years on Profit Boss® Radio episode 145! In this show, we discuss an extremely timely and scary topic: identity protection.

EP 142 | Profit Boss® Radio Welcome to episode 142 of Profit Boss® Radio!

EP 141 | Profit Boss® Radio This episode originally aired on Profit Boss Radio Podcast, How to Buy Your Dream House in 28 Days in a Sellers Market Without Multiple Offers, 5/2/17 Welcome to episode 141 of Profit Boss® Radio! Over the last few episodes, we have been talking a lot about building your wealth. For many of you owning your own home will be a critical part of your wealth building journey. Also, investing is integral to building your wealth as well. This episode is occurring not long after the April 15th tax deadline. So, I am taking a moment to talk about contributing to tax-deferred investment accounts and how it can help put you in a better position come tax season next year. There are many shows on TV where they make home buying seem like such an easy-breezy experience. You select three homes and pick the one you like the best and then you move in. They do not show the behind the scenes process. In reality, there are many moving parts to navigate the real estate world, and I share some insightful
