Going into a new year allows us to wipe away the bad, roll over the good, and look forward to the future. The commencement of 2023 will forever be hard to beat - my team completed a project on New Year’s Day, 2023, that had been previously failed by nine other contractors and was thus years behind schedule. We started 2023 as industry hero's. This remarkable beginning presented us with two possibilities: it could either be the pinnacle of our year, or it could be emblematic of a great year to come. We are still deciding what to make of 2023, but there’s one thing for certain, we all learned a lot. Here are a few takeaways: 1. Don’t trust anyone, even your shadow will leave you in dark times. 2. Accounts receivable doesn’t count. 3. A couple good fights with your equals is not only refreshing, but can identify fissures in your organization you didn't see before.  4. People lie, numbers don't. If you put too much focus on your top line, your bottom line will fall. 5. EBITDA is a joke. This fallacy removes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization from your profitability figure. These expenses are a key metric in determining the success of your business strategy. The wrong decisions regarding loans and tax structures can sink your company while your EBITDA numbers indicate a positive condition.  6. The only thing that will catch you when you fall is the floor. 7. There are two types of people: Those who like the Oxford comma, morons and pedants.  8. Until you can do your job with 100% proficiency, I don’t want to hear you critiquing others.  9. You can be a leader, but you still need to be the boss.  10. Do it right or don’t do it at all.  11. The only constant is chaos. Here's to wishing everyone a blessed and prosperous 2024!

The ultra-wealthy are masters of this. And if you're a hard-working business owner, you can copy it too: 👉 Borrowing against their wealth. This gives them more tax-free capital to do more deals with. And no income tax. You don't have stock options to take loans against like them...yet. So here's a creative way to copy their strategy: It starts with strategically using whole life policies as a personal banking system. 1. Understand the basics: ↳ Whole life policies build cash value over time, ↳ You can borrow against this cash value, ↳ The loan doesn't affect your policy's growth. ↳ Leads to more capital for your business. 2. Know the benefits: ↳ Access to liquid funds without selling any assets, ↳ Zero tax because it's borrowed money, ↳ Flexibility to use the funds as you wish. 3. Implement the strategy to grow your wealth. BAM! Now you’re playing the game just like the ultra-wealthy. And your capital is working just as hard for you, As you did to earn it.

Experience Older people may have more skills and expertise, like market awareness, and better access to resources. However, others may think you should gain experience in the corporate world before starting a business. Financial stability Starting a business requires financial stability, and older entrepreneurs are more likely to self-finance

Happy Monday, business owners! As we enter a new and productive week, it's the perfect time to take a significant step for your business by registering it. One of the primary benefits of business registration is legal protection. When your business is officially registered, it becomes a separate legal entity, which protects your personal assets from any liabilities or debts incurred by the business. This gives you peace of mind and allows you to operate more confidently, knowing that your personal finances are safe. Another great benefit is access to funding opportunities. Registered businesses are more likely to qualify for loans, grants, and investor funding. Many financial institutions and investors require businesses to be registered before they provide any financial support. With a registered business, you can take advantage of these opportunities, which can help you grow and expand faster. Wishing you a happy and productive week ahead as you take your business to the next level! Contact us to register today. https://lnkd.in/eDAbkuNm
