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.       Want more control of your business growth? Invest 15 minutes and get a FREE "Value Builder Road Map" at www.BizGrowth123.com

Host: Bill Black Audio Library: www.ExitCoachRadio.com 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.      Want more control of your business growth?

Swami Tirtha is the Author of "The Hip Guru's Guide", and for the past 40 years he has been helping business owners and their families with natural health and stress management. Transcript:    Swami: There's actually a lot of wellness research that shows that when businesses take care of their workers by giving them wellness plans, for example, several things happen more than we even expected. First, of course, they start feeling better. Secondly, they start to feel a sense of purpose, which you wouldn't necessarily put those two together. They then become more productive, more involved with the company, productivity goes up, quality goes up, and then another thing that people say is, "well, maybe if the workers are healthier, we won't have to pay as much in medical insurance or medical care," which is true, but they also found they were able to reduce their medical insurance costs in places like Safeway, saving millions of dollars a year. Taking care of your workers improves your heart, your soul, and your pocketbook.     Want more control of your business growth?

Terry Shope, Principal - MPL Consulting,Inc.  discusses some of his practical tips for owners to prepare well in advance for the sale of their business. Transcript:  Terry: One of the many situation that I step into is that you're dealing with the entrepreneur or owner, who's very creative, many ideas. One day they have this great idea and they work to implement it and the next day they have another idea. In a situation like that, I typically step maybe in as an interim manager, CFO, COO role, sometimes even as president, and we start working together to create a structure for the company, a line, a path both short term and long term. After a few conversations they allude to me, they develop a little bit of trust, that they're looking to exit their business, and of course they don't want their employees to know. After a period of time we set it up, we found opportunities to strengthen the top line, they had very sporadic sales revenues, and so we found ways to stabilize that top line and even grow it, which greatly helped the bottom line, and from that we were able to take some money, they had a profit sharing plan in place, but they weren't able to fund it. So, now, we set up a target sale date, and we start funding that profit sharing because the business was doing much better and we were able to manage a budget and things of that nature.    Want more control of your business growth?

Transcript:  Bill: Where do you start to plan when you have a new business? Here's T. Phillip Boggess.  T: Almost everyone, when they start a business, wants limited liability, so let's make sure that we create the entity that's gonna have limited liability so we aren't opening the door for any litigators to pierce the corporate veil. At the same time that's happening, we have to plan our exit strategy, because trying to plan for that later is too difficult. So we need to create some sort of buy-sell agreement or some other way for these business owners to know, when it comes time that I want to leave or that I have to leave, that here's how it's going to work. It's going to protect everybody, it's going protect people who are staying in the business, because they're going to get to have the business and run the business as they are without necessarily being in business with their former partner's family, and it's going to protect the former partner's family because if something were to happen to him or her, it makes sure they are going to get what they deserve.    Want more control of your business growth?

New York-based Sound Income Strategies was founded by David Scranton of Scranton Financial Group, Connecticut. One of the nation’s most successful and respected independent financial advisors, David Scranton has been specializing in the universe of income-generating savings and investment strategies for over 15 years. Prior to that, he followed a typical business model based heavily on stock market-based investment strategies. But in late 1999, Scranton’s knowledge of stock market history enabled him to foresee the coming 2000 stock market collapse and the onset of a new 20-plus year secular bear market cycle. Since changing his business model, Scranton has built a thriving personal practice based on “defensive” income-based financial strategies designed to help protect clients from the dramatic stock market fluctuations and economic uncertainties of the past 15 years. He’s also taught hundreds of advisors nationwide how to do the same for their clients. A highly sought-after stock market expert who frequently shares his insights on CNBC, Bloomberg, Fox Business and other national outlets, Scranton recognized a need to again change his business model in late-2013. That’s when the Federal Reserve first announced the impending end of its unprecedented quantitative easing efforts after six years. Anticipating one of the outcomes would be the eventual end of a 33-year trend of overall declining interest rates, Scranton knew the time was right to launch Sound Income Strategies, a Registered Investment Advisory firm specializing in the active management of individual fixed income securities.     Want more control of your business growth?
