[2:27]

A business might experience a wide range of events. Thus, the first reason to sell a business is to protect against the unknown.

[5:16]

If you're holding on to your business for your kids, they don’t want it. According to research, just 2% of businesses effectively transition from one generation to the next because the children don't want it, aren't qualified for it, or don't know how.

Private Equity Company

[10:04]

The environment of acquisitions goes from the least appealing company, which has the most risk, is an owner-operated company.

[11:17]

When you work in private equity, businesses across all industries with revenues above $10 million and profits over $2 million are usually acquired for 15.4 times profits. Simply increasing the company's profitability and sales will enable it to attract customers of a different class.

[16:37]

They also frequently employ another tactic known as a roll-up. A roll-up means that we'll buy a ton of businesses, some of which may be competitors and others which may not. Seven different categories make up the acquisitions.

Importance Of Having A Mentor Or a Coach

[21:28]

People that attempt to accomplish this on their own will probably receive a reasonable offer. However, you can double the worth of the offer if you are familiar with the procedure. When you've never sold a company before, for instance, negotiating a deal with a private equity firm that has a staff that specializes in negotiations is like entering a gunfight with a knife.

[24:19]

People need to think about the process they could go through to fully optimize the value of their company.

[27:32]

Exiting without proper guidance, especially dealing with a tax liability, can cost you so much. For example, If you have a tax that costs 30 percent, and you exited with $100 million, you are going to pay a whopping $30 million.

[32:31]

Many people are unaware that most companies, particularly private equity firms, just desire one thing from a company. However, there may be valuable assets in the company that are valuable on an ongoing basis or have independent value over the income from this particular object that the company has to sell.

[40:17]

If you don't know what you're doing, get the expert. Don't let your ego get in the way of getting a full value.

Now Is The Time To Make an Acquisition

[42:06]

Because everything is on sale, now is the best time to consider acquiring. When people are uncertain, the multiples will be most advantageous to you. But don't feel predatory because you're supporting them in getting what they want.

[45:33]

There are two ways to approach a company or a competitor: direct and indirect. But the best approach will be direct.

[51:19]

To determine which company to acquire, remember that the market influences multiples in terms of what is popular. So you'll see that some items become popular and others fall out of favor.

Psychology of Human Beings

[1:01:36]

At the end of the day, a human being is a human being. There's always a human being behind the decisions. And the psychology of human beings is wild, whether it’s their ego or pride.

[3:51]

They concentrate on entity structuring issues like asset protection, tax minimization from a structure perspective, business credit development, creating a separate credit profile for your business, tax preparation, tax filing, and general estate planning.

Avoiding Probate

[6:21]

People frequently claim a will in place, which is fantastic but expensive and time-consuming. And in most states, avoiding that probate is done by having a living trust.

[9:03]

Do a Google search on how to avoid probate in the state where you live or own property, regardless of where you are. Whatever the scale, it all depends on how the state will intervene. If the documentation needs to be set up, it could usually result in fortunes and real estate.

Benefits of Privacy

[14:05]

Privacy protects yourself and your loved ones because you don’t want people to know where your home is.

Numbers of Property in One LLC

[20:11]

There is no one right answer, but you can try to weigh your risk tolerance. If you have 100 doors, you care a lot less about one door than if you have five doors. Find out what your assets and liabilities are. You can choose the appropriate number of doors per LLC once you understand what that looks like.

Make Meaningful Moves

[25:55]

To move fast and make decisions quickly and accurately, when on the call, help them understand where you are currently. Inform them of your new status if applicable. If you have a lot of different entities, let them know who each entity is owned by and what you use it for on a daily, monthly, or annual basis so they can advise you on what needs to be changed, eliminated, or completely restructured.

Tax Strategy

[30:55]

Investing in a tax strategy is a huge component of building more wealth. It is not a cost but a strategic and logical investment in protecting wealth. The single biggest wealth extraction event in your life over and over will be taxed. And getting ahead of this in a meaningful way is so powerful.

[36:43]

Most people need to take advantage of all the available opportunities to strategically buy real estate, insurance policies, and other things to avoid paying taxes.

[46:16]

The typical business owner squanders about $9,000 annually. As you produce more wealth, that number increases so quickly. Thus, you will succeed if you have a team to assist you or educate yourself about investments that will benefit you from a tax perspective.

Trevor believes that often, entrepreneurs are the visionaries or quickstarts—once they go into operation mode, they get bored. He doesn’t want that to happen to his company, and thus, he ensures to innovate to make the business exciting for him again.

[11:22]

Trevor shares a great story about his client scaling his business from zero to millions.

Delegating Duties

[13:00]

When you earn millions, Trevor explained that you need to have a delegating strategy on things you don’t want to be actively doing. He further explained that things get harder on this part where, without someone to delegate the task, and you do it hands-on, you get distracted and burn out.

Entrepreneur Freedom Formula

[16:04]

Trevor explained the entrepreneur freedom formula and how it is the core model of his company. The entrepreneur freedom formula centers around building a business of freedom and impact. He argued that being a lifestyle business is not bad for a period of time, and it’s all about what you have in the plan after it. That’s where the entrepreneur freedom formula kicks in.

[18:17]

Hustling and grinding is not long-term business strategy. Trevor explained that people should always remember it because “gears grinding for a period of time whittle and break down.” He further elaborated that even if you start earning good money and you enjoy them, it’s still incomplete without the true purpose of why you are doing it in the first place.

Vision Story

[24:37]

Trevor shared his Vision Story and why it matters. His vision story highlighted the importance of having to look so far ahead. Looking 20 years ahead is excellent for him to answer questions like, “What is my role? Am I still in business? What am I doing at that point?”

[31:14]

Trevor explains that entrepreneurs frequently run away from the businesses they grew. Either because they don’t like it, they hit the income ceiling, or they believe they are incapable of achieving something big. However, when you obtain consistent profit, you start running towards something new.

[32:14]

The bigger your goals, the longer the runway that vision needs to be. You lose the runway when you start losing that motivation and energy to move forward. That’s where the entrepreneur freedom formula comes in. What do you need to delegate to buy back your time to get more energy?

[33:45]

Figure out what gives you that purpose and build a consistently profitable business based on a good marketing strategy. Build that team, buy back your time, and start embedding the purpose of your business. Through it, you’ll lengthen the runway every three to five years.

Conclusion

[36:40]

Trevor explained the benefits of joining a mastermind. You have access and the privilege to talk to someone who’s three-step ahead and behind you. You’ll have a bird’s eye view of where you are currently as an entrepreneur. Talk to people who bought their time back through the entrepreneur freedom formula and see how you can employ it in your business to move a step forward to success.

Eddie Speed is a straight shooter, so we'll spare you the flowery pitch. Eddie is a Texas titan who for years has carefully crafted the art of strategic seller finance notes. In short, understanding and correctly executing the strategies he shares will double your opportunities, double your business, and ultimately, double your income. If you are an experienced deal maker, saddle up and hit the trail with us as we discuss riding the coming bull market all the way to a generational wealth kind of payday. 

Fun fact: 70% of Billionaires have created their wealth from recession rebounds. That fact, coupled with the whole "history repeats itself" fact, is a good indicator that a whole bunch of money is about to make its way into the hands of those seeking current opportunities...and you can bet your bottom dollar that Vinnie Fisher isn't going to miss out on any of it. As a tax lawyer, entrepreneur and all around numbers guy, Vinnie shares his journey of becoming financially fluent in his own businesses and details what specifically you should be able to answer about your company's financials. The time to get your sheet together is now, before you get your assets kicked. 

Falling asleep behind the wheel and nearly sending your family hurling off the side of a cliff... No, that's not a scene from a Hollywood blockbuster, that was the real life wake-up call for our next guest, Trevor Mauch. Long, exhaustive hours come with the territory of being an entrepreneur, but at a certain point, you have to ask; is your business supporting you or are you supporting it? Are you building a LIFE for you and your loved ones, or just an income? Kent and Trevor strap in for an "energy audit" to measure your drain/give ratios, and also discuss whether or not it's time to fire...yourself? Best of luck with that exit interview.

Just about everyone who opens a restaurant has had experience in the industry. If 9 out of 10 restaurants fail, why is "experience" placed on such a high pedestal as a prerequisite? Jeff Fenster isn't buying it, and never has. What most see as an asset, Jeff sees as a liability. From payroll companies, to restaurants and even construction companies, Jeff is a serial entrepreneur that forges success through jumping in and figuring it out as he goes along. Jump in on this episode and prepare to "unevolve"; no experience necessary. 

Pretend for a second that your business is a sailboat. Your sailboat has lost some momentum because of a sudden shift in the winds (pandemic). You can see a clearing in the distance and there appears to be a strong wind up ahead, but you're not sure you can make it. You have a few options: 1. You can adjust your sail in hopes of catching a draft; 2. You can cut your sail and call it quits. In this example, your sail is your marketing. Cutting your sail ensures you are dead in the water. The 3rd option is our good friend, Billy Gene, who just happens to be cruising through this episode on a yacht with a sale on sails. True to his nature, you have a problem, and he has the solution. That's marketing. That's Billy Gene. 

Get out of your own head. Ironic advice from a guy who makes his living getting into yours... As a professional hypnotist, Marshall Sylver is an industry leading business consultant that understands exactly how powerful the words you speak to yourself, and to others, are. He has used his heightened sense of communication to entertain and dazzle audiences on stage, and maybe more importantly, he has helped to elevate some of the most brilliant minds in business to a higher consciousness. Not too shabby for a kid who grew up living in a chicken coop, huh? In this episode, a true master of mindset explains precisely what you should, or should not, be focused on.   

8 days a week was not enough for The Beatles; it's a shame they never knew there are actually 21...IF you're Ed Mylet. With a run time of 24 minutes, this is the shortest episode to date, and it certainly isn't for lack of substance or content. Ed is recognized as one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world, and if you want his time, you've got 2 minutes, 8 minutes or a max of 24. He's exact, he's precise and his ability to "shrink time" makes him impossibly productive in the eyes of a competitor. 

If you thought our circle (or in this case, ring) was limited to real estate and business types, guess again. In this episode, Kent takes center ring with the very first UFC middleweight champion, Frank Shamrock. In addition to being a champ, he was also a talent spokesman for the UFC itself, where he pitched his passion and helped to turn the UFC into a billion dollar industry. However, the ascent to glory was anything but a rosy ride to the top. Frank's journey originally started out in a different kind of cage, one with armed guards and three square meals a day...

For Drew Canole, leadership is about everything beyond what meets the eye. For starters, his executive corner office isn't on the highest floor in the tallest tower. He doesn't shout commands from a high-backed leather chair, flanked by rich mahogany furniture...In fact, he doesn't even have an office. Whereas typical founders of companies fancy themselves as modern day kings, Drew drives the culture of his company through a deep understanding of human nature. He will be the first to tell you that he doesn't have all of the answers, which is why he and his leadership team have read over 1,000 books together. Leadership, as he explains, is an energy. 

What separates you from a goal can be boiled down to: action vs inaction. No one likes to come up short of a goal, but most of what keeps people from achieving a desired outcome is caused by a fear-induced paralysis. Relying on neurochemistry and some good old fashioned perseverance, our discussion with Patrick highlights the necessary ACTION of taking back control of your thoughts, which will prove to be the single-greatest step toward achieving your goals.

If you've ever watched celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay audit a restaurant, you know it can be brutal to witness, as failing restaurants and their owners are exposed to Ramsay's unrelenting standards. From a business owner's perspective, having every aspect of your business carefully scrutinized can be a vulnerable and painful experience that often requires setting aside your ego and facing the numbers. In this episode, Lori Taylor goes full on Gordon Ramsay and serves up exactly what you should understand about your company's fundamentals, all the way down to the cents...and just as there are no good excuses in an episode of Kitchen Nightmares, your excuses are no good here either. If personal responsibility and accountability are not for you, Lori is not your girl.

Kellogg's. Starbucks. Netflix. All household names that owe their brand recognition to economic downturns. While many businesses slash their marketing budgets and slouch in fear, savvy investors are acquiring competitors and bolstering their market-shares at a premium discount. Perry outlines why "younger" entrepreneurs have the upper hand against older, more established types, and details how to maneuver your messaging to ensure your upper hand is filled with the lion's share. 

“The fear of loss is always greater than the desire to succeed.”

Where the body goes, the mind follows. Physical strength and mental fortitude go hand in hand, and when it comes to building both, plus a massive fitness empire, our next guest is outpacing the pack. Octavio and Kent discuss the importance of "tribes" and how to align yourself with the right people, that have the right energy, to get to the right places. 

You've been taught your entire life to give up control of your money. All the while, that hard earned money is being utilized to create unimaginable wealth that you will never see. If your 401K was explained to you in those terms, would you think twice about making those monthly contributions? What's more, the comparatively small return you do make, could all be gone in a single downturn day. Kent and Chris let you in on their chat and it is likely the single most important conversation on money advice you have ever heard. 

These times are truly unprecedented. With market volatility and the uncertainty of many unknowns, it seems crazy to think that our next guest, Aaron Pimpis, is currently cruising along with an unchanged business model, buying up wholesale properties WITHOUT EVER STEPPING FOOT IN THEM! Aaron shares the keys to virtual wholesaling and lets you in on what you should know before you ever dial up, text, or...Facetime a potential client. 

Your business plan probably didn't include a strategy for a pandemic...The good news is, you are in the majority and everyone is having to adapt and grow, on the fly. The way we have always bought homes is changing quickly, and is now moving at an accelerated rate, setting the stage for a future of ibuying. Dan tells us how ibuying is stirring up the market and how you can get in on the action. Plus, with the uncertainty of market futures, we discuss why having a firm grasp on underwriting is vital to your next deal. 

According to Forbes, internet usage has surged by 50 to 70 percent amidst the Covid-19 epidemic. Coupled with a year-over-year decline in "traditional media"consumption, such as TV, the question becomes...Where are you spending your advertising dollars? Enter Frank Kern;online advertising gunslinger and digital marketing mastermind. Frank gives it to you straight and explains why advertising and brand building has never been cheaper or more profitable. When all eyes are on the internet, the only thing stopping a great idea is bad marketing. 

Many businesses and business owners are understandably frozen in fear because of market uncertainty. However, utilizing such incentives such as the government's PPP, Kent and Roland explain how they are scaling their businesses during what they have deemed to be an "artificial recession". Rather than shrink in fear, you can set yourself up for a "recession rebound" using government stimulus funds available to you right now. High supply with low demand and suppressed pricing, all mixed together with a dash of creativity, means a big payout for you. 

Whatever you are looking to buy is on sale this summer and a massive boom is on the horizon. Now that I have your attention, why are you reading this? Likely, because you are interested in knowing what will be on sale and you don't want to miss out on those opportunities. I have shared with you a valuable piece of information that you are interested in, and that is exactly what Dan is all about. In order to gain interest in a marketing message, you must offer compelling content that is interesting, sharable and informative. Traditional posts about your "showing this coming weekend" are stale, predictable and ineffective. As an entrepreneur, your job is to interrupt patterns and cut through the mundane, which is exactly what this episode is all about. Oh, and as for those summer sales and that boom...they are happening and we'll tell you when and where you need to be to capitalize. 

Taxi cabs were literally driven out by rideshare companies. Blockbuster was streamed to death by Netflix. Technology forces change, and that can be a great thing, if you choose to evolve and innovate. Deals and transactions will continue to happen, just not by conventional means or strategies. There is no better person than Raquel to explain the logistical and technological shifts that are necessary in today’s marketplace. Utilize tech to level up or be leveled off. 

Reality check time. Pandemic or no pandemic, you are the sum of thousands of small choices you make every day. Small actions or daily rituals in your life will result in massive change over time, and that change will be positive or negative, based on your actions today. Sean explains how a one degree shift in your trajectory could radically alter the path you are on and elevate you to destinations you only dreamed of. It takes action. Small action. Every day; consistently, and with ruthless commitment.

Face it: Business and life, at least for now, have changed. Now that you have accepted and understand that the world is different, what is your game plan for the short and long term? As the media sells fear and negativity, what are you doing differently to add value to the marketplace? How are you marketing to YOURSELF? To be sure, Kent, Michael and many other business minded, successful entrepreneurs are hustling behind the scenes to adapt, grow and succeed. This is your shot. Now is the time to make your impact.

When reduced to its finite, business has always been about providing solutions to identified problems. With our current state of lockdown affairs, we are encountering new problems, and with them, opportunities for creating solutions. In this episode, Kent and Bedros discuss the essential pivots we should be making on both personal and business levels, all the while using our ‘outside eyes’ to pivot and capitalize the challenges we face. Business has not stopped and money has not disappeared, it has simply shifted; as an entrepreneur, it’s your job to find it.

What does plunging into a freezing-cold, glacier waterfall have to do with business? Everything. What you learn in the most challenging of times are tests of the human spirit and are the basic building blocks of your will to endure. If your ‘life resume’ could use some updating, “be where your feet are” and learn from the master of overcoming fear.

Hard times create strong men, or in this case, women. We check in with Kent’s personal trainer, Ashley, for a timely mind and body reset, as she addresses the importance of personal accountability, mindset and structure in these volatile times.

When your check engine light flashes on, do you smash it out with a hammer, or treat it like a warning? In times of uncertainty, there is a ‘state of threat’ triggered in the human brain. How you choose to respond vs how you choose to react to perceived “threats” will determine your ability to survive and thrive. John breaks down why living in fear perpetuates stress hormones that literally cause you to focus on threats rather than opportunities. Discover how to unlock your brain and open your mind to your greatest potential. You are what you think about.

Push past normalcy, or step aside. If that sounds hardcore, that’s because Ryan Stewman doesn’t do ‘soft’ or ‘easy’. As a former felon who served time, Ryan truly understands the value of time, and has no patience for wasting any of it.

The true crime is serving a life sentence working to make your boss’s dreams come true.

For a professional skateboarder, fear and risk are as constant as the forces of gravity. While decisions aren’t as split-second for Mikey these days, calculating the long-term effects of a single move still motivates his everyday life. As a real estate investor, his arena has certainly changed, but his drive to innovate has only made his tricks bigger, gnarlier and more satisfying to stick. Amidst the current Covid climate, Kent and Mikey discuss preparing to drop-in and “go big” on rare opportunities where others bail.

David is a firm believer that time is our most important asset. He counsels: “You can’t buy your life back at some future retirement age – there’s no such thing. It’s an illusion that unfortunately escapes too many hard-working people.”

Today, David enjoys the freedom that he created in his own life. He coaches and consults with professional-practice and other business owners to show them how to create freedom, security and peace of mind through the development of true entrepreneurial practices and lifetime passive-income streams found in done-for-you real estate investments.

He has participated in more than 1,000 real estate transactions and has involved direct bank financing only five times – the remaining 99% of the transactions were done strictly with private financing, which, he reminds us, is all about financial friends and relationships.

“Your life is your life; your business is not your life,” he says. “Learn to live life on your own terms and accept nothing less.” David’s life can be celebrated as proof that adversity can open doors to opportunity. Until we are uncomfortable enough in our present situation, he says, change is not likely to happen.

In today's show, Kent will discuss the importance of putting yourself in a room with other like-minded people to work together on your sticking points and theirs.  When everyone works together for the good of all, amazing things can happen.  "A rising tide raises all ships."

In this episode, Kent  takes you through finalizing the process of acting as the middle man in the sale; and getting your check at the end of the deal.

Roland Fraiser specializes in negotiation, copywriting, marketing strategy, structuring and funding of mergers, acquisitions and private and public exit strategies for businesses and entrepreneurs, design and implementation of comprehensive multi-channel marketing and advertising campaigns. Internet, new media, print, social networks, direct response. 

Listen as Kent and Roland discuss working together for the benefit of everyone.

Listen and learn as Kent Jr interviews Kent Sr about transitioning from a comfortable life as a well-paid employee, through the uncertainty of setting out to be an entrepreneur, and eventually succeeding in a number of business ventures.

The Kent's also talk about some of the mental shifts required to be a good leader, including letting go of your desire to micromanage and "hiring up".

This is likely the first of a number of visits that Kent Sr will make to the show. Be sure to leave a comment for Kent Jr or Kent Sr and let them know what you think.

Step four in our five part series is all about connecting the dots. You know what your cash buyers want, you know your market, you know all the players in your area... Time to get them working together so everyone makes money. Kent explains how to motivate others with money...somebody else's money.

Put this together with parts one, two, and three from this series and you are ready to cash in. In the next episode, Kent will walk you through the process of finalizing the deal and getting paid.

You've gathered the list of needs from your cash buyers who look to you as a concierge-style, white-glove-detailed, inventory-creator. Now it's time to set out looking for the right properties to fill those needs. You've got your shopping list, go get it.

If you aren't 100% certain that you know what you are looking for, you need to go back to step two and get more information from your cash buyers. If you've done step two properly, you should be ready to find exactly what you need.

In today's episode Kent gives an overview of the system he will walk you through over the next month.  A system that Kent and his family used to build a $1.8 billion dollar grocery wholesaling business.  Kent has applied what he learned in that first business to develop a system that anyone can use to make money in real estate if they just follow the steps.

The five steps:
1 - Research your market
2 - Nurture and build relationships
3 - Target your market
4 - Negotiate your best deal
5 - Finalize your transaction (get paid)

We live in time when social distractions are at our fingertips 24-hours a day.  Our younger generation being raised to believe that a Facebook rant about how the world has done them wrong is "taking action".  But it's not.  You can chose to be the victor, but if you choose to be the victim, you've already lost.  Take responsibility for your actions and your place in life. 

The time is now.

Today Kent recalls a near death experience that changed his outlook on time forever.

Time is your only currency. Why do we want to make money? To try to buy ourselves more time.

What happens if tomorrow doesn't come? You've only got one shot. Go big. Why not? You're already in the game. Why not play full out?

Does everyone in your life think you are crazy for what you are trying to achieve? Then you are off to a great start. Don't listen to anyone who hasn't accomplished what you are trying to accomplish.

Let your passion be your guide.

When you attempt something big, there will always be negativity from people too afraid to achieve their own success. Root them out of your life and get around the people who will understand and support you; other entrepreneurs.

Be the hero of your own life story. Speak your future. The time is now.

Ready to embark on your entrepreneurial journey? Willing to find out if you have what it takes to be successful in business beyond the financial aspect? You won't find a more uniquely qualified guide.

Being born to lead, groomed for success, and running a multi-million dollar company by the age of 23 is one way to go through life, but Kent wanted something more. At age 30 he left that company behind to strike out on his own. Within 22 months he had lost his entire life savings, every one of his business contacts, and his marriage. He was ready to give up. One night he saw a real estate investment infomercial and decided to take the course. He knew he had to make it work. Through hard work and applying what he'd learned in his previous business, Kent became a successful business owner and real-estate wholesaler. A truly successful entrepreneur.

You can have everything you want - and even put your family first - if you take the time to think about it and do it right. This podcast will show you how to build your business the right way - and explain why you don't want to build it the wrong way.

Today, Kent Clothier has a good life. He designed it that way.
Let him show you how to design the life of your dreams.
