Bill Spetrino is a professional investor who has made millions for his clients and himself through strategic investing. A trained accountant, he graduated from John Carroll University in Ohio and spent a decade teaching. A lifelong entrepreneur as well, Spetrino set out to understand and codify a simple dividend investing strategy for amassing a retirement nest egg, an idea that eventually led to the creation of The Dividend Machine newsletter for Newsmax in 2009. Using his strategy, Spetrino picks the kinds of dividend stocks Warren Buffett or the late Sir John Templeton would recommend — long-term cash generators that also can offer handsome appreciation potential. Questions Answered:  1) How can I have $100,000 in dividend income in 24 years while making less than 5 figure income?  2) How can I prepare for retirement?  3) Why are stocks are the best investment?   Contact Info:  Website: http://www.billspetrino.com   Bonus Material:    Book on Amazon: "The Great American Dividend Machine"  Listen

Transcript: Bill: Okay, so it’s your first chance at selling your business, here’s some great wisdom from somebody who’s done it many times, Rick Usher. Rick: I think the realism we talked about, first of all: what is my business really worth? People have these proprietary feelings about their business, and they think often times it’s worth a lot more than it is, that’s the first thing. The second thing is that they’ve gotta be realistic as to how they’re gonna make this transition. I think it’s very unlikely for most business sellers to find a buyer who’s gonna walk up and write them a check, so they need to figure out and plan how they are gonna exit this thing, whether it’s seller carry-back financing, whether it’s

Bill Black interviews David Karofsky, who discusses the difficulties of family business issues, how to resolve conflicts, and the importance of understanding. New content daily - check back often! Transcript:  David: Whether you're a family or you're a family business, the difficulty that families often have is getting into a room and really talking about the issues, the challenges, the differences, the conflict that has happened either over the years that has built up, or a current situation that may be happening. And what happens is, the presenting issue isn't communication, the presenting issue is often, "I don't know how to pass this business down my son or my daughter who are in the business, and the two of them are never in alignment, and I don't know what I'm going to do."

Host: Bill Black. Audio library: www.ExitCoachRadio.com.  Ken Sanginario discusses how to build value to support growth, and the importance of not taking shortcuts.  New content daily - Check back often! Transcript:   Ken: Most business owners believe that the only way they can build value in their companies is to aggressively grow sales or cut costs. And, as it turns out, both of those approaches are the wrong initial approaches to building values. Growing your company without building the infrastructure around the company to support the growth can actually destroy value, and cutting costs destroys long term value. But that's all they know, so when they get introduced to us and our platform, they realize all the other elements they have to put in place, develop, and get fully functional in order to be able to support growth.  To hear more tips from over 750 Advisors, visit exitcoachradio.com Listeners: You asked, so we found FREE solutions for 5 of your top problem areas.

Transcript:  Bill: How can you motivate your employees to grow your company using your 401k plan? Listen to Harley Bjelland.  Harley: Everyone's got a match in their 401k plan, well not everyone, but a lot of people have matches in their 401k plan, and they just do 50 cents on the dollar. What I've done, is I have a lot of clients that have a formula driven match. So, if we do, and I hate to use terms like ivada, but if we do ivada, which is basically a different method of profitability for the company, you're gonna get a bigger match. So, if we do 2 times ivada, you're gonna get 2 times the match, if we do 1 times ivada, you're gonna get 1 times the match, if you do half of it, we get half. And this is something that's really changed, I mean, honestly, I work with ESOPs a lot, ESOPS are Employee Stock Ownership Plans, and what it is is the employees

Transcript: Bill: What’s the difference between a business owner wanting financing and business owner needing financing, and how will it effect where they want to go get that capital? Here’s lending expert Adam Lomax. Adam: Wanting financing often times comes around from having a marketing plan, having an idea of where you’re going, having customers that are in the wings or perhaps even starting working with customers in the early days, knowing they’re gonna grow, knowing you’re gonna need more money to support that growth. That’s a good situation. It’s a challenge, it’s a business challenge, but it’s a good challenge. Versus, I haven’t paid my taxes and I need to catch up on that, or I can’t cover payroll next week.

Here’s Dan Whittaker. Dan: De-risking is really, if you’re gonna go through a process to transition out of the business, what are the things that can jeopardize the sale, or jeopardize the value?
