Dave G (aka Dave Gajdzik), Managing Partner of Dave G CFO discusses the value of hire an experienced CFO part-time for business owners who do not have the budget for a full-time CFO. Transcript:  Dave: In simplest format, I provide CFO services for those firms that have yet to justify the cost of a full-time CFO, and I like to take the position that every firm should have a CFO, but the reality is in a business somewhere between $3M and $50M, they really can't afford that individual because it appears to be an overhead function. That's where we come in and we fulfill that void that's there. So, I don't need to work there 40 hours a week, maybe it's only 8, maybe it's 12, maybe it's 4, it depends upon every client. It doesn't matter whether you're in construction, distribution, internet, manufacturing, non-profit, paper industry, we can address all of those based upon the as needed basis. You know, doctors, we'd like to have a doctor handy anytime we need them. Well, what is it? It's on an as needed basis. Most companies don't have attorneys on staff. What is it? It's on an as needed basis. So, the CFO is really in that same league as the attorneys and the doctors, and when you need them, you need that professional with the formally educated background and the experience. So that's what we fulfill and that's how we make it happen.    Want more control of your business growth? Invest 15 minutes and get a FREE "Value Builder Road Map" at www.BizGrowth123.com

John Grace, President, Investor's Advantage Corp. discusses a trend in housing that suggests that "bigger is not better" for the future. Transcript:  John: All of us bought the big house in the same 20 year period. Well, let's see, that means that the eldest of the Boomers are 68, the youngest is 50, what's going to be next? Is it reasonable, in your opinion, that if we roughly bought all of the big houses on the big lots in the same 20 year period that we might be getting out of those houses, for various reasons, in a similar timeframe? It's reasonable to me. So, what we're saying is, to those, like I say the 50, 60, and 70 year olds, put paint on that thing and sell it, put that house up for sale, get your cash, do not wait, because you may find that we're in the beginning of another downturn, as far as real estate, that might be more than 10%, it might be 30%, and who would like to see that happen again when you need the money?      Want more control of your business growth?

Transcript:  Bill: One things for sure, when you're planning your exit strategy, a cookie cutter approach is just not going to cut it. Listen to this expert advice from planner Steve Beatty.  Steve: You've got to look at what the owner's particular needs are, what their particular situation is, what their goals, and what their fears are. You've got to take all that into account and come up with customized solutions. A solution that we've used a lot, that I think is underutilized, is an ESOP. The benefits of having a readymade market, the employees of the business, to enjoy the tax benefits that ESOPs can provide, and create a lot of potential wealth for those employees, it's a win-win solution that I think a lot of people don't use because they simply don't understand how it works and what the benefits are.    Want more control of your business growth?

Transcript:  Bill: You know, a lot of business owners would probably start the planning process a lot earlier if someone talked to them with the clarity of this gentleman. Listen to expert planner Joe Siecinski.  Joe: By far, the biggest challenge that I see, is time. I mean, the foundation for any business, you've got kinda four pillars of your businesses. It's Time, how you use your time, your Destination, where you want your business to get to, you can't get there if you don't know where you're going, Delivery, which is about consistency in the delivery of your product or service, and Knowing Your Money. Before we can do anything, we've really gotta free up some time. So, I have a system called the Small Business Countering System, which is in my book, called Brain Share, and I really try to get 8 hours back in their work week, then we can start working on the business. So, I almost always start with getting some time back in your business, so we can work on the business.   Want more control of your business growth?

Here's a 1 minute preview of today's featured Guest. Give it a listen and share it with your friends, and if you like the content be sure and listen to the full 20 minute interview! Transcript:  Bill: Hey, Terry, tell us about, what do you think is the biggest obstacle to people achieving their goals?  Terry: Well, I think, it's actually being really clear about what your goal is. I mean, if you ask people, "what do you want to achieve?" it's quite general or they'll tell you what they don't want to achieve. And, of course, I started to study the neurosciences and the patenting of people's behaviors and why they got the results that they got. And, you'll quite often find that people focus on what they don't want, and of course when you do that, that's what you'll draw more to you. So, I really believe that it's actually about being really clear about what you want, and then doing whatever it takes. I did some research years about about what stops people from moving into mastery. So, whether it's sales, management, leadership, parenting, sports, it doesn't matter what it is, how do people go from the honeymoon phase, and that's the first phase of when we get a buzz, where we're feeling really uplifted, you know it's just like a relationship, it's all fun and bells and whistles. And then of course you move into the next phase which is routine, and people succumb to the boredom of routine, they buy into that. And instead of reframing it and seeing it as, the more routine I get it, the more patenting in the brain grabs it, the more proficient I'll become, they want to jump back into the honeymoon phase, and so they don't go deeper. And if you stay in the routine long enough, you'll eventually move into mastery, and I would suggest that people actually show their people how to get addicted to the routine part, and how do you do that? Well, you get them to fall in love with the process of what they're doing, not the result.        Want more control of your business growth?

Harry S. Dent Jr. studied economics in college in the ’70s, but found it vague and inconclusive. He became so disillusioned by the state of his chosen profession that he turned his back on it. Instead, he threw himself into the burgeoning new science of finance where identifying and studying demographic, technological, consumer and many, many other trends empowered him to forecast economic changes. Since then, he’s spoken to executives, financial advisors and investors around the world. He’s appeared on “Good Morning America,” PBS, CNBC and CNN/Fox News. He’s been featured in Barron’s, Investor’s Business Daily, Entrepreneur, Fortune, Success, U.S. News and World Report, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, American Demographics and Omni. He is a regular guest on Fox Business’s “America’s Nightly Scorecard.” Harry has written numerous books over the years. In his book The Great Boom Ahead, published in 1992, he stood virtually alone in accurately forecasting the unanticipated boom of the 1990s. That same year he authored two consecutive best sellers: The Roaring 2000s and The Roaring 2000s Investor (Simon and Schuster). In The Next Great Bubble Boom, he offered a comprehensive forecast for the following two decades. In The Great Depression Ahead, he outlined how the next great downturn is likely to unfold in three stages, with an interim boom stage between 2012 and 2017 before the long-term slowdown finally turns into the next global boom in the early 2020s. In The Great Crash Ahead (2011), he outlined how the next great crash is likely to unfold in the coming months. He explained why there is nothing the government can do to protect us as deflation takes hold of the economy. He also recently finished his book, Spending Waves: The Scientific Key To Predicting Market Behavior for the Next 20 Years, an information-packed guide for any serious business owner. Harry’s latest book, The Demographic Cliff – How to Survive and Prosper During the Great Deflation of 2014–2019, shows why we’re facing a “great defl
