Transcript:  Bill: I've heard you say that age is not the biggest factor when you're marketing older adults online. What do you mean by that?  David: Age really is just a number, especially with the Boomer generation because they're so diverse. But the underlying factor is, we take a developmental approach to our work. As human beings, we all share some core needs, and what differs is how we satisfy those needs. So, we think that that is a stronger determining factor in terms of how you can meaningfully engage these people. The next thing is that what makes the Boomers very different is, more than any generation, they have more concurrent life events going on. The fact that they're so educated, the fact that societal norms have changed. And then the last thing is, our ability to target based on real-time behavior is so much different now that it al

Tim Templeton of Templeton Interactive discusses some of the ways to measure success in a Social Media campaign. We add new content daily! Listen on iTunes: iTunes.ExitcoachRadio.com . See the Index for more on this Topic or by this Guest . Transcript:  Bill: What's the benefit of having a social media campaign today, and how do you measure if it's successful? We asked expert Tim Templeton.  Tim: Just simply having the presence is successful in its own way, because you're getting that halo effect of being seen as being technologically savvy. So, just simply being part of the social media game is important in itself. The authenticity really comes from the communications of being able to create a dialogue with your customers, with your users. I do think that you want to try to, at least once a week, touch all of your main social media platforms, even if it's simply repurposing something that they've already seen, just saying, "I think this is great," and posting it. It's just shows people that you're st

Transcript:  Bill: Tell us about your book, you have a book out, it's called, "The Boomers Guide to Aging Parents" correct?  Carolyn: Right. And, you know, after I retired from my litigation practice, I didn't have very much to do. You can't just start a business just by snapping your fingers, as you know. So, I decided that I would write a book to answer some of the questions that people were asking me. And, it was sort of a random effort at first, but it took shape, there are 9 chapters. It deals with things like: What do you do if your parent is a dangerous driver? How do you get them to accept help? What if they need help at home, what are the pitfalls for hiring a person to come in and assist your loved one? What do you do if you're trying to figure out whether they should have assisted liv

In this 1 minute highlight, Nick Yocca, owner - The Yocca Law firm, discusses briefly how different states offer different levels protection for those considering Asset Protection. Transcript:  Nick: We can find your best asset protection in odd places. Forming an Alaska LLC isn't a bad thing, either. Nevada is certainly a good LLC state. California is not terrible, but the environment here makes it a little bit dicey. Our judiciary, and the judiciary in Nevada, if you were to compare them side-by-side, you have much more of a plaintiff, or tilt in California and less in a Nevada. Where asset protection is the key, we sometimes would steer toward Florida, where your home stay exemption is $1,000,000, and so your asset protection can be that much stronger. But, I did mention Alaska, they have

In this 1 minute highlight, Mark Dorman, President & Founder of Dorman Legacy Advisors, shares his tips for you to consider as you begin to plan for your Exit. Transcript:  Mark: Be prepared to spend some time. You build a business and maybe it's 15-30 years. I was with a gentleman this morning over breakfast, he goes, "Well, how long is this gonna take?" I said, "Well, you built a company that does 20 million in revenue, you think we can find 30 hours over the next 52 weeks to actually focus on how you are going to transfer it to your kids?" And, you know, when you play it back to them in that fashion, he's like, "Yeah, I think that would make some sense." So, you have to be able to commit the time.  The other tips would be, make sure you're working with people who know what they're doing.

Transcript Kevin: Well, I go back to grand promise: a brand is not your logo, it’s not your name, it’s the promise you make and keep to your customers base. And so, you need to be thinking about, how I can I make that promise unique to my organization? The second thing I would be thinking about: a brand needs care & feeding, we need to be thinking about it, if not every day, then at least every week, or every month. Whenever you make a big decision, you should be asking yourself, how is this going this to effect our brand, how does this effect the promise that we’ve made to

Transcription:  Bill: What would your life be like if you could just do what you want to do all the time? Here's expert Chris Sprague.  Chris: The beautiful part about today is, when you hit 50, you still have half your life ahead of you. If your listeners take nothing else from me than this, I want them to hear this. If you do what you were meant to do, if you find your zero point and live to that for even one day, even one hour of one day of your life, even if it's the last hour of your life, then your life has been a success because there so any people, there are millions of people out there, who don't even live one hour of their life k

Host: Bill Black. Annette is a seasoned bookkeeper and QuickBooks consultant who helps small business owners get the most out of the QuickBooks software. Audio library: www.ExitCoachRadio.com. New content daily - check back often! Transcription:  Bill: When should someone consider outsourcing books to someone like yourself?    Annette: I always think it's a good idea. The only time you shouldn't is if you're just getting started, and literally you can't afford it. We know how lean it is the first few months or first few years in a business. And at some point you have to just sort of just choose, look, in a perfect world, I would have this, but I won't. So, that would be one instance where you wouldn't. Alternatively, if your business is really simple, and you, or your spouse, or your assistant, or your fill in the blank, some trusted person, has a strong accounting background and knows Quickbooks fair well, and they're going to do it for you, awesome. Or, if you, yourself, have that accounting background

Because most people say, "I’m not good at follow-up,” and that’s professionals across the board. And we do start with the memo pad, having a short memo that you can send to them in a text, saying, it was a pleasure meeting you, and please look forward to a one-time email. And you say the word one-time because it relaxes their mind and it makes them think you’re not a spammer. And then you follow up with an email saying, as promised, here’s an email. And if you can do that immediately when walking away, you’ll get a lot more respect, people will want to do business with you more often.   To hear more tips from over 750 Advisors, visit exitcoachradio.com Listeners: You asked, so we found FREE solutions for

Transcript  Richard: The first thing you have to do, I think, that's important, is to make sure that the family documents and understands their shared history. Where the family came from, how they got there. You know, a lot of times that doesn't get documented, doesn't get shared with the kids. They say when somebody dies it's like a library burns down, all that wisdom, all that potential mentorship is lost for all future generations of the family. And so, we make sure and gather that, we capture it, we interview the parents, we do video interviews, audio interviews. We create what we call a family vision statement that tells the next generation, "Okay, this is how we got here, this is what we believe is important, these are

Transcript:  Christopher: A blue ocean is really a market that is untapped. What they're encouraging you to do in a blue ocean, is go where others have not gone yet, and it's an untapped, really undefined market. And I feel like that's how the exit planning industry is right now. You've got a lot of owners that still have not made the move, and yet we know that two-thirds of privately held businesses are owned by baby boomers. We know the youngest is 50 and the oldest is 68, now, and so at some point, mother nature is going to force us to transition. Unfortunately, there is still different ways to do things, there's still very fragmented kinks, and teams and advisors don't work together and collaborate like they should.  Listeners: You asked, so we found FREE solutions for 5 of your top problem areas.
