Jim Immel, Founder of Immel and Associates, Inc. explains how Clarity is critical before implementing plans and being clear about your questions is key.  Transcript:  Jim: One of the things to realize is, that when we're helping these individuals, they could be asking the wrong questions. And, I just think that a lot of times what I see is that things move too fast, that we actually ask the business owner what they want, and we actually believe the answer that they give us. And, one of the realities is, they may tell you the answer to that, but they may have started down the wrong path by asking the wrong question upfront, and now they're starting to run down a pathway that might cause either themselves, from a tax stand point, or the employee standpoint, or even from a customer standpoint, it might cause some strife. And so to just really go slow upfront, the tagline I have is clarity, confidence, courage, really invest time on the clarity standpoint upfront, making sure that you ask the questions to get them to look at things a little bit different than maybe where they are. Find people willing to be challenged, the people that are willing to be challenged are also more likely to go through change.  ExitCoachRadio.com - Great Advice from Great Advisors! Listen to Daily interviews and tell your Business Owner friends!

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.  ExitCoachRadio.com - Great Advice from Great Advisors! Listen to Daily interviews and tell your Business Owner friends!

A 1 minute excerpt from a recent interview with Don Trone. Hear the full interview by entering 'Don Trone' into our search index at www.ExitCoachRadio.com. We upload new content daily so check back often! 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.      ExitCoachRadio.com - Great Advice from Great Advisors! Listen to Daily interviews and tell your Business Owner friends!

Rod Hatley of Chhokar Law Group P.C. discusses concepts related to Asset Protection and Wealth Preservation. We add new content daily! Listen on iTunes: iTunes.ExitcoachRadio.com .   Transcript:  Bill: There's been a lot of talk lately about different types asset protection strategies, especially from business owners who are going from a complicated business asset to liquid. Here's Rod Hatley.  Rod: Unfortunately, there are people out there who prey on the unsophisticated, and they will talk to you about going offshore, hiding assets, and evading taxes. And, unfortunately, that does happen, but I'm here to tell you, a change in the law some years ago, we can achieve a similar level of protection domestically. We've found that it makes a lot more sense to keep a client domestically, if they'd like to stay. Let me say it this way: asset protection, if it's done legally and ethically, it's not about hiding anything, it's about simply structuring the owner of the asset so that they're safeguarded from risk, nothing more, nothing less. And we can help clients avoid taxes, but we can't help them evade.  ExitCoachRadio.com - Great Advice from Great Advisors! Listen to Daily interviews and tell your Business Owner friends!

Bradford Hall, Managing Director of Hall & Company CPAs & Consultants, Inc. discusses some of the common deductions that taxpayers claim, but that the IRS tends to watch closely for abuse and substantiation. We add new content daily, so come back often!    Bradford: New for 2013 is the simplified home office deduction, and it will be interesting to see, because home office deductions used to be one of the biggest targets. There’s over -- just about 3.4 million of the total taxpayers filed home office deductions the last time, I think it was 2010, and the new method is that you can claim $5 a square foot for the home office, up to 300 square feet, so up to $1,500 per year. My guess is, that will really increase the amount of people claiming the home office, but the home office does need to be used exclusively and on a regular basis by the person for business, and it cannot be used as a play room, or a tv room, family room, or bedroom, for that matter.  To hear more tips from over 750 Advisors, visit exitcoachradio.com   Text "Exitcoach" to 44222 and get a copy of 100 Words from 20 Advisors!
