Zoom out, and look at the markets from a larger vantage point to get some perspective. The further out you pull back on the results of the stock market on a graph, the more it looks obvious that the market only goes one direction historically.

On a global macro-scale things are getting much better for people, whether it’s measured by extreme hunger, violence, or resources. See this video for more info on things getting better globally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jalfq9uWXQk.
Yet, it doesn’t always feel like things are getting better. If we’re just looking at the news, it seems like things are always getting worse.
When it comes to financial planning, I try and help clients focus on their plan and on their unique time frame. This oftentimes puts things in the proper perspective.

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the hidden cost of investing in individual stock vs investing in a basket of companies inside of an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), Index Fund, or Mutual Fund. Namely, the emotional toll it can take to invest in individual companies. Is it worth experiencing the stress and angst it takes to invest in individual companies? Sometimes, investing in a broad range of companies within an ETF or an Index Fund is less stressful and takes less of an emotional toll on the investor. When you’re invested in a bunch of companies with a fund you’re less likely to fixate any one company. Whereas focusing on one company's results can bring about a much more emotional ride.
In this episode, I give my take on the book “Die with Zero” by Bill Perkins, published in 2020.
I liked his concepts on investing in “memory dividends,” and spending based on your stages of life and your health.

Today I’m talking about one of my favorite books for business owners. It’s called ‘Profit First’ by Mike Michalowicz. I like this book because it simplifies the cash flow process for business owners. It provides a great tool to ensure you’re paying yourself a profit distribution and an owner’s salary all while preparing for taxes due and operational expenses.

A common mistake I see amongst business owners is within the business entity selection type. In this episode, I talk about the differences between a sole proprietorship, an LLC, an S-Corp, and a C-Corp. We look at the tax and liability considerations of each entity type.
