UGG-ly business #startup. Even a million dollar idea can cost years.

I’m going to start an amazing business and become a millionaire!

So many have had this dream.

Let me introduce you to someone who did it and what it really took to pull off…

Brian Smith is an Australian who moved to California to surf and meet girls.

He found his fortunes in importing sheep skin boots from Australia, but the path of that journey should make any excited entrepreneur stop and think.

Especially if you’ve got responsibilities like a mortgage, children, small pets, etc.

Licenses and Permits when buying a business. How to Buy a small business.

If I can’t get the liquor license in time, should I delay the closing?

Well, I would.

Licenses and permits are your key to enter the weird world of government bureaucracy.

Sometimes it’s quick and easy.

Sometimes you have to wait 30 days and tell all the neighbours.

The thing to know though is that these rules change depending on which city, state, province or country you’re in.

Let me share some of my experiences when it comes to licenses and permits when buying small businesses.

What should you try to learn from your job?

If I let you learn how to drive with my car before you bought one of your own, would you?

Especially before mistakes will cost you money from your own pocket.

Mark Willis talks about Life Insurance as an liquidity tool

Creating your own financial resiliency.

What if you could borrow money whenever you wanted and didn’t have to get an approval?

This week, I discuss an interesting concept in financial planning that’s been used for over 100 years by wealthy individuals and corporations.

In fact, while I was reading Empire of Imagination, the story of Gary Gygax, creator of Dungeons and Dragons, I learned that the very first edition of D&D was financed using the technique outlined in this interview.

It could be something that you decide to make a part of your wealth planning.

Let’s listen to Mark Willis about how some people are creating options for themselves based on the type of insurance they buy: https://youtu.be/OMlvcxWROag
