To break out of the daily grind and achieve true freedom, Goodbread introduces a framework mapping the eight core areas of business onto the DISC personality profile .

Most financial advisors are trained to believe they need accountability partners, deadlines, and standard check-ins to hit their goals . In this episode Justin argues that the exact opposite is true: traditional accountability is what keeps advisors stagnant . While average advisors search for an accountability partner, top-echelon performers seek a grandmaster who can connect the operational pieces to get them unstuck and generate true momentum .

In this episdoe, Justin states a harsh biblical reality: God will not bless what He has already cursed . When business owners fall into certain behavior patterns, spiritual and financial blessings will not follow - even if they are doing everything else right .

Many financial advisors successfully build a practice only to realize they have created their own prison. Sitting at the epicenter of everything - handling scheduling, emails, employees, frustrated clients, and compliance - means the business has ultimately just become a demanding job. To achieve the ultimate goals of more money, more impact, and true freedom, you must eliminate perfectionism and stop acting as the operational bottleneck .

Most financial advisors walk into a prospect meeting relying on their presentation, credentials, and charisma to close the deal . If you are counting on the sales meeting itself to secure a new client, you have already lost . The prospect meeting is not where the sale happens; it is where the sale is confirmed . The actual conversion must be engineered long before the prospect ever steps into your office or joins your Zoom room . By architecting a proper system, you can raise your closing rate from a mediocre 30%–60% to nearly 100% .

Addressing Christian business owners, he challenges conventional social media advice and provides a framework for building a company that systematically acts as a local blessing.

In this episode of the DecaMillionaire Decoded podcast, host Justin Goodbread addresses the common struggle of the boring financial advisor and the trap of "commission breath". To reach the $10 million enterprise value mark, advisors must decentralize themselves from the business and move beyond "plain Jane" advisory roles - this requires a strategic shift in how they attract, convert, and retain clients through specialized delivery phases. Justin challenges advisors to stop chasing clients and start differentiating themselves in a crowded market .

He argues that while many entrepreneurs claim to value hard work, they often fall into laziness and chaos, preventing them from reaching their full potential and divine calling.

He looks for areas where the team is "cutting corners" or delivering "good enough" rather than excellence, specifically targeting internal tracking and communication for improvement.

The episode shifts the focus from balance sheets to the "home front," exploring how a leader's ego and misplaced priorities can sabotage both their legacy and their company's potential. Their conversation explores the "ego trap" that many men fall into, believing they must fight every battle alone to prove their worth. Jesse and Justin argue that a business owner can never reach their full capacity if they are fighting a "two-front war" - struggling at the office while their home life is in shambles.

He notes that 80% of financial advisors remain stuck under $1 million in revenue. The reason isn't a lack of information—they are already listening to podcasts and reading books—but a failure to apply the information they have through "hard conversations" with themselves.

In this episode of the DecaMillionaire Decoded podcast, host Justin Goodbread delivers a provocative message to Christian business owners: your money problems are rarely financial - they are almost always spiritual. He argues that issues like poor cash flow, thin margins, and a lack of clients are merely symptoms of a "root disease" caused by being out of alignment with God's principles of stewardship. Justin notes that while business owners often focus on tactical fixes (better pricing, more marketing, or hiring), these cannot fix a business if the spiritual foundation is broken.

In this episode of the DecaMillionaire Decoded podcast, Justin dives into a critical but often avoided topic: fee structures. He argues that many financial advisors are sitting on tens of thousands of dollars in untapped revenue because they are operating with fee models they inherited or were told to use, rather than ones designed for the specific firm they want to build. He explains that fees are not just about how much you get paid; they are a reflection of your firm's "trusses." If your fee structure is weak or misaligned, it cannot handle the "weight of the future" as you attempt to scale toward a $10 million enterprise value.

In this episode of the DecaMillionaire Decoded podcast, Justin delivers a wake-up call to financial advisors and business owners who are still using outdated marketing strategies. 80% of financial advisors struggle to break the $1 million revenue mark - this is usually because the owner is still acting as the primary technician rather than a strategic leader, and they lack the systems to convert prospects at scale without their personal involvement. Justin argues that the digital landscape of 2026 has rendered traditional "personality-based" marketing obsolete, and that scaling to a multi-million dollar revenue level now requires a transition from human-driven guesswork to AI-optimized systems.

In this episode Justin Goodbread challenges the common misconception that scaling a business is an overwhelmingly complex ordeal. He argues that reaching $1 million in revenue, and eventually $1 million in take-home pay, is so simple to do if owners are willing to dismantle the bondage of a business that relies solely on their own 20 years of specialized knowledge. To achieve true freedom and scale, he advocates for a radical simplification: picking one ideal client, solving one specific problem, using one particular process, and offering one clear offer. By narrowing their focus, owners can sharpen their marketing and create a path where one plus one plus one leads to the ultimate payoff: freedom.

As entrepreneurs, we often discuss our busy work schedules as though they are a badge of honor. While it’s true that owning a business requires a tremendous amount of time and effort, we must be careful not to neglect the other aspects of our lives. Each of us has (or should) areas of our lives that are important to our ethos. Pouring all of your time and energy into your business will inevitably mean that you’re neglecting the other core parts of your life.

In this episode, I discuss the importance of prioritizing your schedule. Whether it’s faith, family, or even your own health, you must work on each area with the same intentionality that you do for your business. I’ll also share some practical tips for making dedicated time for the non-negotiables in your life. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (00:56) Block scheduling for efficiency
  • (02:49) Should your business be the most important part of your life?
  • (06:15) The three big rocks
  • (10:34) Efficiencies and boundaries
  • (13:01) Some simple rules
  • (15:40) Scheduling lessons learned from the COVID closures
  • (17:13) Pause and “calendar” your life this year

Our Favorite Quotes: “Schedules across multiple different types industries can reflect that we as business owners, often easily, place the business ahead of the big rocks in our life.” - Justin Goodbread

I explain why I chose to speak directly to financial advisors, and how the information shared is still applicable across most industries.

Marketing often frustrates us, as financial advisors. We don’t always see an immediate return on our investment. Additionally, when hiring a marketing firm, the costs can quickly escalate well beyond what we intended to allocate. Frankly, this “all or nothing” approach and our limited understanding of marketing can leave us feeling a bit disheartened.

It doesn’t have to be this way! In this episode, I discuss the important role a documented marketing strategy has on your overall satisfaction with your marketing return. I’ll also talk about some of the ways you can start small, and gradually grow your marketing spend. Finally, I explore how you can prepare your firm for the influx of new clients your marketing efforts attract.

This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (01:25) Declining satisfaction
  • (03:19) Some questions to think through
  • (05:24) The Power of a defined marketing strategy
  • (09:27) Beware of the “all or nothing” mindset
  • (11:50) The value of content marketing
  • (14:10) Protect your reputation
  • (16:05) Navigate toward the industry norms

“Marketing is not simply one dollar in, one dollar out.” - Justin Goodbread

Oftentimes, as business owners, we take a wrong view of marketing. Because it isn’t foundational to the operation of our businesses, we view marketing as a luxury. However, if we see it for what it truly is—an investment—we can finally begin to measure the return on our marketing investments.

In this episode, I discuss how you can maximize the ROI for your RIA firm’s marketing investment, paving the way for the eight-figure exit. Additionally, I’m going to explore the quantifiable and unquantifiable aspects of marketing, and how a holistic approach yields the results that we often desire. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (00:50) Business Owners See Marketing As a Luxury
  • (02:55) The “Basics” Around Marketing
  • (04:27) Two Key Metrics
  • (07:03) Calculating a Break Even Point for Your Marketing
  • (11:11) How Much Money Should You Spend On Marketing?
  • (14:20) Are Your Marketing Efforts Increasing Your CLV?
  • (17:22) The Unquantifiable Aspects of Marketing

Our Favorite Quotes:

“Most other industries spend a great deal more than 5%. The RIA industry has been fortunate that we have had the market growing a lot of our revenue over time, and it's caused us to become complacent.” - Tim Kochis, DeVoe Special Advisor

“If you look at your marketing spend as, truly, an investment, then we can track ROI. We can quantify it.” - Justin Goodbread

"IP matters. But, unfortunately, very few business owners ever take the time to even present the IP; much less protect the IP." - Justin Goodbread

Indeed, it can become a company's most valuable asset." - Julian Crump, President, International Federation of Intellectual Property Attorneys About The Financially Simple Podcast If you are looking for a podcast that speaks directly to the challenges and puzzles of running a business, you’ve come to the right place.

Owning a business is a risky endeavor. This is especially true in the RIA space which is heavily regulated. From civil actions to punitive actions taken by regulating bodies, litigation can be damaging to your business and reputation. So, what should you do if you find yourself facing litigation during your eight-figure exit?

In this episode, I look at some of the measures you can take to mitigate the risk of litigation. Additionally, I discuss ways to disclose pending, past, or present litigation to prospective buyers so that you could still make the ultimate sale. Whether you’re a financial advisor or operate in a different industry; whether you’re in the midst of an exit, or years away, this is one episode you can’t miss!

“If you’re open and honest with the buyer about litigation or pending litigation, there’s many things that can be done to still help carry the deal through and consummate the deal for your eight-figure exit.” - Justin Goodbread

As a financial advisor, it can be easy to forget that sales and marketing are part of what we do. We understand that we have to attract new clients in order to grow our book of business. However, we may not always realize that we’re selling our firm and our services when we engage in an initial “getting to know you” phone call. The truth is, as RIA owners (and business owners in general), we don’t always see ourselves as salespeople. Likewise, we don’t always have a strong grasp of how marketing and sales work together to drive revenue growth.

In this episode, I’m taking a deep dive into synergizing marketing and sales within your RIA so you can achieve the eight-figure exit. I’ll discuss how data points like Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), break-even assessments, and churn rate can be used to create synergy in your sales and marketing departments, enabling you to grow your firm organically.

This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (00:55) Common sense definition of marketing
  • (02:44) The brass tacks of sales and marketing
  • (04:27) Some key metrics
  • (08:34) Factors that impact your churn rate
  • (12:38) What is your break-even point?
  • (14:14) Marketing doesn’t work in a straight line
  • (17:27) Create a feedback loop

Our Favorite Quotes:

“If you can tie your sales team, your marketing team, and everybody involved, if you can tie those together, then every data point shows you can drastically improve the growth rate of your company.” - Justin Goodbread About The Financially Simple Podcast If you are looking for a podcast that speaks directly to the challenges and puzzles of running a business, you’ve come to the right place.

In the early stages of your Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) firm, it made sense to work with anyone who could fog a mirror. But as your firm grows, many of the clients that you served in the beginning may not offer your business the same value they once did. As a result, these clients can chip away at your firm’s efficiencies, preventing you from gaining ground on your journey toward the eight-figure exit.

In this episode, I discuss the power of saying, “No” to clients who are the wrong fit for your RIA. This tiny word is one that, as business owners, we don’t often like to say. However, embracing the power of no could increase your bandwidth, enabling you to say yes to the clients who can truly help drive you to the exit of your dreams.

This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (00:42) The eight-figure exit requires the correct client base
  • (03:27) Business constraints
  • (05:56) The Pareto Principle and Dunbar’s Number
  • (09:50) Learning the power of “No”
  • (12:47) Reasons we “outgrow” particular clients
  • (15:14) RIAs don’t scale the way other businesses do
  • (17:30) Disqualifying bad fits
  • (25:23) Segment your book of business
  • (31:25) A question to consider
  • (36:31) C-listers typically refer C-listers

Our Favorite Quotes: “The eight-figure exit requires the correct and the right client base.” - Justin Goodbread

“The more often it is that you say, ‘No’ to the wrong clients, it will ever shine a light on those clients that you want to say, ‘Yes’ to.” - Justin Goodbread About The Financially Simple Podcast If you are looking for a podcast that speaks directly to the challenges and puzzles of running a business, you’ve come to the right place.

If you’re working toward the eight-figure exit, you can no longer be the top producer in your firm. This means “firing” yourself. But how can you step away if doing so will cause a decline in your sales production?

In the previous episode, I gave you some homework. After digging into your firm’s data points, did your company align with the industry averages? Were you surprised by what you found? In this episode, I’m picking up where I left off, and giving you four tools to help you create scalable and repeatable sales processes that enable you to fire yourself so you can achieve the eight-figure exit. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (0:13) Part one recap
  • (3:06) How do you maintain momentum in your absence?
  • (3:57) Sales tracking
  • (11:26) What are we going to track in the process?
  • (14:30) Lead analysis
  • (22:55) How do you improve prospect data?
  • (27:25) Removing bad prospect data from your system

Our Favorite Quotes:

“In order for us to decentralize, we have to, often, fire ourselves as the chief producer” - Justin Goodbread

Sales is the lifeblood of every business. In order to grow, you must attract new clients and gain new revenue. As the owner of your RIA, you’re likely the top producer in your firm. However, this is anathema to the eight-figure exit.

In this episode, I discuss why you must fire yourself, making way for new top producers to emerge. In doing so, you can decentralize and reduce your company-specific risk. I’ll explain the metrics you need to monitor to ensure continuity once you’re no longer pulling all the levers. Likewise, I look at how firing yourself could enable you to meet or exceed industry standards. If you’re an RIA (or any other type of business) owner, you can’t afford to miss this episode!

This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (0:38) Why are you the top producer in your RIA?
  • (1:33) A foreign concept
  • (3:06) Decentralization from the sales process is a necessity
  • (4:51) Multiplicative growth
  • (5:53) The ability to meet or exceed industry standards
  • (6:41) The day I decided to fire myself
  • (10:31) How do RIAs perform (Benchmarks to follow)?
  • (18:01) Context matters
  • (22:37) Questions to ask yourself

For many of us, compliance can seem like a dirty word. Too often, this necessary aspect of your RIA is seen as “anti-sales” or as being against advisors. However, compliance plays a vital role in protecting you and your clients. So, how can you develop a compliance department that is both effective and efficient?

In today’s episode, I discuss how you can integrate compliance practices with your daily operations. Additionally, I will look at the risks associated with non-compliance. Finally, I will provide practical tips for creating tools that can eliminate compliance bottlenecks and mitigate risks to your firm and your clients.

This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (0:52) Why do financial advisors cringe at compliance?
  • (2:50) What types of compliance risk might you have?
  • (4:08) The repercussions of non-compliance
  • (5:18) Test your processes and team for weaknesses or holes
  • (7:40) Create a compliance calendar
  • (9:44) Develop a ticketing system
  • (11:55) Build processes and structures for your compliance department
  • (14:02) Integrate compliance with operations

Our Favorite Quotes:

“If you do it right, the operational flow of your business can actually be a first line of defense to make compliance less burdensome.” - Justin Goodbread

“The compliance department works in a silo and doesn’t think about how operations or technology, or how other things can help them make their jobs easier.” - Justin Goodbread

Have you ever considered that you could drive greater profitability in your RIA (or any other business) through policies and procedures? Think about it... Your firm's governing documents such as the employee handbook, compliance manual, or company policy are meant to communicate policies and contingencies that can reduce risk and drive efficiency.

In today's episode, I'm going to discuss these important documents. As I do, I will explain which documents you should have in your RIA, and what types of information goes into each one. Finally, I will explain how well-kept governing documents can help you become more profitable and propel you toward the eight-figure exit. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (0:57) What are the governing documents for an RIA?

  • (3:34) How does a document written by an attorney impact your eight-figure exit?

  • (6:40) Intrinsic value

  • (7:50) Gaining efficiency by enforcing policies and procedures

  • (10:33) What happens if you don't set the expectation?

  • (11:12) Strategies to drive compliance to your governing documents

  • (16:34) Do you have faith in processes to handle regulatory change management?

  • (17:25) Don't simply put these documents on the shelf

The idea of a flat organizational structure has gained steam in recent years. On its surface, it may seem like a good idea. However, without a clear leader, people often become confused about which direction to follow.

In this episode, I take a close look at some of the most common types of organizational structures. Join me as I explain why the flat org chart might prevent you from achieving the eight-figure exit you desire! This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (0:40) My soapbox

  • (1:40) Why organizational charts matter

  • (3:48) Different types of organizational structures

  • (14:00) The reason we're here

  • (15:00) What got us here won't get us where we want to go

  • (16:14) The lack of a clear leader can be confusing

  • (19:10) Why you can't have a flat org chart in your RIA

  • (25:46) Embrace hierarchy

  • (26:27) How does an organization that truly conquers things structure its org chart?

Our Favorite Quotes:

"Having a powerful and scalable organizational structure is one of the most important ways that you can help solidify the team, solidify the company, and prepare them for exit." - Justin Goodbread

As business owners, we understand the importance of operational efficiency. But did you know your RIA's operational efficiencies could be the difference between making your eight-figure exit and missing the mark? Knowing that the efficiency of your operations has a direct correlation to your firm's valuation is one thing. However, understanding the biggest drivers could position you to take control of your practice and steer it toward the exit you desire.

In this episode, I take a look at how your efficiencies affect your RIA's value. Similarly, I take an in-depth look at some of the biggest drivers of operational efficiency, and how you can use them to maximize value.

This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (2:18) The drivers of operational efficiency are actually perspectives

  • (3:07) The owner's perspective

  • (11:40) The customer's perspective

  • (15:54) Your team's perspective

  • (17:35) Client's do not come first

  • (18:07) How do you influence operational efficiency?

If you want to make the eight-figure exit, you need to begin planning for it right now.

Working toward the eight-figure exit is challenging under normal circumstances. However, attempting to drive real and lasting growth is nearly impossible when your senior management team is operating under a silo mentality. When your team is siloed, it can cost you valuable time and resources as you work toward your objectives. So, what can you do to break down the silos that stand in your way, as an RIA?

In this episode, I discuss the hazards a silo mentality presents to your firm. I also outline eight ways you can tear down the informational and collaborative barriers within your firm. As you work toward your eight-figure exit, ensuring that your organization's leadership is united toward the same vision is imperative. However, don't check out just because you're not a financial advisor. This information could be applied to any business!

This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (2:33) What is the Silo Mentality?
  • (3:26) The Issues That Create a Siloed Management Team & Their Consequences

As RIA owners, we often make the mistake of thinking that the only way to drive greater profitability is to cut costs. While managing expenses is certainly a factor, company culture is one of the greatest drivers of profitability.

In this episode, I explain how your RIA's culture could be the key to an eight-figure exit. I also look at some of the signs of a toxic company culture. Likewise, I'll discuss the importance of identifying the culture a buyer will want, and provide tips for changing a culture from the inside out.

This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

● (1:40) Defining Company Culture & its Impact on Your RIA

● (3:17) Culture in the Advisory Space

● (4:04) Firm Culture & What You Can Learn From Your Employees

● (6:55) Why Type of Culture Would the Buyer Want?

● (8:01) Culture Drives Profitability & Other Benefits

● (11:16) The Impact of Employee Recognition

● (11:50) Determining What Your Company Culture Is

● (12:40) Steps to Create A Winning Culture

successful strategic plans harness the power of a proven framework

that challenges conventional processes and forces critical thinking

to answer hard questions." - Kim Kovalski, Managing Director, Marshberry

"Strategic planning is simple in terms of concept but it's hard to implement. It's hard to execute." - Justin Goodbread

As a financial advisor, it is possible to set your firm up in such a way that the eight-figure exit is possible. But simply trying to take on more clients as a primary means of growth could be a recipe for disaster. Instead, developing and implementing a system of KPIs could be the answer. KPIs or Key Performance Indicators can provide important insights into the health and direction of your firm.

In this episode, I discuss some of the many KPIs you could choose to explore within your finance department. I also talk about the importance of keeping your KPI tracking simple, and getting your team involved. With the correct KPIs, you could generate increased buy-in from your team while also driving more efficiently toward your objectives. You don't want to miss this episode!

This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (2:45) How do we determine if we made the right decision?

  • (15:58) Use KPIs to modify behavior

"What gets measured gets improved." - Peter Drucker

"You've got to address the fact that building KPIs, tracking KPIs, and examining KPIs is an investment of time and resources." - Justin Goodbread

As the owner of an independent RIA, you likely wear many hats. You're an advisor to your clients, but you could also be overseeing compliance, accounting, operations, and more. Each of these tasks pulls you in different directions, and most importantly, away from your clients. Even if you are succeeding in juggling each of these responsibilities, doing so still presents a problem... your firm is controlling you!

In this episode, I discuss shifting that control back into your hands by hiring a dedicated CFO. I detail what a CFO does for your firm, average compensation in the RIA space, and the education and experience this professional adds to your firm. In addition, I also discuss the importance of looking at your firm's financial health and strategy through an objective lens. You don't want to miss this episode!

Owning an independent RIA offers many rewards. You get to work with the clients you want to work with, receive a greater percentage of revenue, and as long as you remain compliant, you have autonomy to do things your way. Yet many financial advisors struggle to maximize the greatest reward that owning their own firm has to offer... You hold an asset that has the power to change your financial future!

In this episode, I discuss the expense benchmarks for the industry. Similarly, I discuss the impact of how you prioritize spending in your firm, as well as the importance of having financial controls in place. Although I'm speaking directly to financial advisors, many of the principles I cover can be directly applied to businesses across multiple industries. So, don't miss out! This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

In this episode, I introduce a miniseries aimed at helping IARs unlock the success in their firms. Although I'm specifically addressing financial advisors, don't tune out!

Few things in life are as emotional and complex as a business sale. You've poured your blood, sweat, and tears into your business for years—even decades—and now, it's time to sell. But should you try to sell your business on your own, or use the services of a business broker?

Is it worth the headache of attempting to facilitate a sale while still operating your business? Are you certain of the real value of your business? Do you have what it takes to negotiate the best price? Can you differentiate between legitimate offers and scams?

In this episode, I look at the pros and cons of working with a broker, as well as detail some of the steps you can take to ensure that you're hiring the right one. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (0:44) What is a business broker?
  • (3:00) A simple analogy: For Sale By Owner vs Realtor
  • (4:50) Why you should use a broker to sell your business
  • (8:00) Personal experience with an intermediary
  • (9:05) How do you choose a broker?

Dental entrepreneurs are very near and dear to my heart. Over the years, I've worked with so many of you, and I hear from even more who follow the Financially Simple Podcast. That's why these past few episodes have been especially geared to each of you.

Recently, I received a very important question from one of our listeners. The question came from a dental entrepreneur who finds himself in a position where his business debts are paid and he has an excess of cash in his reserves. Likewise, he's taken steps to secure his personal finances by diversifying outside the business. He finds himself in a position where he can't take on anymore clients because he's already at capacity, but still wants to grow his practice.

The question is this, "What are the pros and cons of buying a practice to grow my current dental practice?" In this episode, I answer this question, addressing the pros and cons of such a strategic move. I also discuss some of the ways to mitigate the risks involved. Although this question is framed to speak directly to dental entrepreneurs, the information can still be applied to many different industries. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (1:13) Laying the groundwork/Who asks this type of question?
  • (2:26) Why you should think about buying another practice
  • (7:06) Calculating market share
  • (7:33) Why you shouldn't consider buying another practice
  • (10:17) Avoiding the pitfalls
  • (12:39) A real-life example

Selling a business provides many new and exciting opportunities. Although it may be tempting to use the proceeds of the sale to start a new business, there are reasons you might choose to wait. In this episode, I look at the effect our current economy could have on a new business.

I also examine how the mass migration going on in the US could have a variety of impacts on emerging businesses. Perhaps most importantly, I discuss the personal impact that immediately jumping into your next business venture could have on you, your health, and your relationships. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast

  • (1:36) Current economic factors
  • (4:37) Mass migration's impact on local economies
  • (9:20) Personal considerations
  • (10:56) Taking care of yourself
  • (12:36) Taking care of your relationships

Expectations are an important part of business. A CEO sets expectations for growth over time. Your sales department outlines product and service expectations for potential clients. But can expectations be harmful to your business? Inherently working to exceed expectations isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, if you're setting expectations too high and consistently underperforming, that could be a recipe for disaster.

In this episode, I unpack whether trying to exceed expectations is dangerous to your business. I also give some tips for setting clear expectations, opening the door for you to exceed them. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (2:08) The importance of clear expectations
  • (3:39) Communicating expectations with clients
  • (4:58) When expectations become dangerous
  • (5:31) Creating realistic expectations
  • (9:45) Exceeding expectations through transparency
  • (11:04) Set boundaries

Our Favorite Quotes:

"Setting expectations is only dangerous when they can't be met" - Justin Goodbread

Making the transition from business owner to employee after selling your business is something that many entrepreneurs aren't well prepared for. Friends, I'm not referring to those who've sold their companies and must now find a job. Instead, I'm talking about those who do as I recently did, selling their business and staying on as an employee. Are you truly prepared for that type of transition? Can you handle it? In this episode, I'm exploring how to go from owner to employee in your own business. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

● (2:15) Employment agreements and Earn-outs

● (5:20) Can you handle the change?

● (7:40) A new set of benefits

● (10:01) Lowered risk

● (11:30) Don't do it alone

Our Favorite Quotes:

"You can handle whatever you desire to handle. Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." - Justin Goodbread

"Being at the top is a lonely place. While you might not be truly alone, there are very few people in the entrepreneur's life that really understand what it's like to be a business owner." - Justin Goodbread

In this episode, I discuss the importance of choosing the correct values for your business and how to live them out. I also cover 4 easy ways to communicate your core business values with your customers. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

Succession planning and exit planning are terms that are often used interchangeably. However, each one is a vital aspect of business planning that works to achieve different outcomes. So, what is the difference? In this episode, I take a closer look at succession planning vs. exit planning. I also discuss their benefits, why and how business owners should use them, and when to begin planning. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (1:00) What is Succession Planning?
  • (2:01) The Many Benefits
  • (5:36) When Should You Begin Succession Planning
  • (7:48) Introduction to Exit Planning
  • (9:26) How Exit Planning Benefits Owner and Business
  • (10:41) Facilitating a Sale Without Making an Exit

Our Favorite Quotes:

"Unlike reactive hiring practices, the succession planning process is well-planned-out. It is a long-term procedure of building several internal pools of qualified candidates who are able to fill vacancies." - Justin Goodbread

"Don't make the mistake of thinking you can wait until you're ready to hand the business over to the next group of leaders." - Justin Goodbread

When you're just starting off, it's usually necessary to take on as many clients as you can. However, as you grow, this practice could actually stunt the growth of your business.

In this episode, I discuss 3 ways (metrics) to determine your ideal client and how you can use the results to supercharge your business's potential for growth. I'll also explore the individual calculations that go into each of these metrics. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • (3:14) The Recency, Frequency, Monetary Value Model
  • (5:31) Customer Lifetime Value

Business owners are just wired differently than most people. We want to do things our way and we're willing to work twice as hard to make that a possibility. I've often said we're the only people in the world who will work 80 hours per week for ourselves so that we don't have to work 40 for someone else. But it takes a special kind of person to succeed in business. You've got to be tenacious and willing to charge hell with a water pistol.

Why do we enjoy such a challenging lifestyle? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Yvonne Kinney, a business psychologist who specializes in consulting business owners. Together, we look at what makes business owners tick, how to change our thinking so we can get out of our own way, and how to prepare for life beyond business! This week on The Financially Simple Podcast

  • The advantage of knowing what makes you tick (3:02)
  • Identifying strengths and making good decisions (4:44)
  • How a business psychologist can help keep you grounded (8:30)
  • Using psychology to motivate business owners into action (11:38)
  • Challenging past success for future gains (13:22)
  • What to consider when preparing for an exit (17:20)

Our Favorite Quotes:

"Having an assessment instrument that can provide us some insight to which we can create a deep sense of awareness helps us, then, put some actions in place to either grow ourselves, learn some new behaviors, and perhaps let go of some habits and behaviors that aren't serving us so well anymore." - Dr. Yvonne Kinney

"As my mom used to say, 'Son, education without application leads to stagnation.'" - Justin Goodbread

As a business owner, you must always be ready for change. Adapting and reacting to shifts in the market, technologies, consumer trends, etc., can help keep your business moving in the right direction. Sometimes, that means pivoting away from your original plan.

Pivoting to a new business model or offering doesn't indicate failure. If done properly, it could be an effective strategy. In this episode, I discuss how to create a successful pivot strategy. I also explain a few important steps to take when implementing a pivot. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • Why you might need to pivot (1:51)
  • Pivoting doesn't indicate failure (3:53)
  • Take the long view (8:28)
  • Don't neglect short-term sustainability (11:41)
  • Listen to outside perspectives (14:31)
  • Communication is vital (17:06)
  • Wrap-up (20:00)

Our Favorite Quotes:

"Pivoting, changing a strategy, changing a key player, changing a product line does not indicate failure. In fact, I would argue, it's the opposite." – Justin Goodbread

"Knowing what our customers are saying as we introduce this new pivot, is paramount." – Justin Goodbread

"Being transparent, being authentic, taking time to explain 'why' will successfully charge a pivot for your company." – Justin Goodbread About The Financially Simple Podcast If you are looking for a podcast that speaks directly to the challenges and puzzles of running a business, you’ve come to the right place.

One of the greatest parts of entrepreneurship is the freedom to choose how you're going to operate your business. You can choose the type of business you want to run, what your product will be, who you're interested in helping, etc. The possibilities seem to go on and on into eternity. As long as you follow sound business principles, you're at least going to have a shot at success regardless of the type of company you own. However, many business owners overlook one model that could be the key to sustainable growth.

Recurring revenue models can offer predictability and stability, helping you to scale and making your business more attractive to prospective buyers and investors. In this episode, I explore types of recurring revenue models and how they could benefit your business regardless of industry.

"If you think in a constructive manner, in a creative manner, more than likely, you can fit or you can adjust or modify one of these models into your own business or to complement your current offering so that you, too, can increase the value of your company." – Justin Goodbread This week on The Financially Simple Podcast

  • What is recurring revenue? (2:31)
  • Subscription-based with auto-renewal (4:00)
  • Long-term contracts (5:12)
  • Cross selling or supplementary products (6:40)
  • Why does recurring revenue matter? (9:10)
  • Financial predictability (9:34)
  • Added stability (11:23)
  • Deeper customer relationships (12:50)
  • Easier customer experience (16:21)

Our Favorite Quotes:

"Any objection to the downside risk can be easily overcome by the benefits." – Justin Goodbread

Mentorship is a valuable asset in the business world. It is beneficial for both the mentor and the mentee. The mentee benefits from your experience. On the other hand, you, as the mentor, get to sharpen your skills and increase your network. Perhaps you’ve identified a promising young talent in your company and want to help them grow. But where do you begin? What’s the most effective path to accelerate their growth? How do you measure progress? And, just as important, how do you know when to end the mentor/mentee relationship?

In this episode, I discuss the ways team leadership and upskilling staff can benefit your business. Likewise, I look at the key components of mentoring an employee from identifying goals and communication to knowing when it’s time to end the mentoring relationship.

“Being a mentor has allowed me to expand my skills.” – Justin Goodbread

Our Favorite Quotes:

“Both parties, both the mentor and the mentee, should want to have this relationship and it should be clearly established what the outcome needs to be or is desired.” – Justin Goodbread

“Not every time that you enter into a mentor/mentee relationship, is it going to go as expected. I’ve seen this happen in my coaching relationships where business owners started a mentorship, and the relationship turns sour.” – Justin Goodbread

When you own a family business, it’s important to keep family discord and internal conflict out of the business. Those who can manage the family dynamics within their companies will often see them become generational businesses. But that’s not always the easiest thing to do.

In this episode, I’m joined by a father & son team who has made the family business work. My dear friends Chris (CEO) and Scott Snider (President) of the Exit Planning Institute have found the key to dealing with internal conflict as a family-owned business. Together, we will discuss some of the difficulties of operating generational businesses and the solutions they’ve found to combat them. This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • What it’s like for the second generation. (02:16)
  • Designing the business to prevent family conflict. (03:40)
  • Battling an “entitlement” mindset. (07:20)
  • Protecting the family culture. (15:30)
  • Transition of control. (20:45)
  • Knowing when the second generation is ready. (28:15)
  • The emotions of making an exit. (35:25)

Our Favorite Quotes:

“You’ve got to run the business from the numbers. You’ve got to treat it like a business. It’s not a family piggy bank.” – Chris Snider

“Life’s like an onion. Every layer that you peel back can either be sweet or it can make you cry.” – Justin Goodbread

“Find that private place where you’re always in a good place, and you can do some soul searching about what you really want.” – Chris Snider

“Stop following the same path. Get off of it. Do something different and once you get there, continue to stay hungry.” – Scot Snider

Owning a family business is as much a part of the American dream as having a house with a front porch swing and white picket fence. It’s a fine dream to have, and for many, it can be a reality. However, owning a family business is hard. You’re dealing with all the usual problems business owners face while adding complex family dynamics to the mix. Things can grow even more complicated when it’s time to leave the business.

In this episode, I discuss some of the pitfalls that can arise when your kids take over the family business. I look at why the three-generation rule may not be entirely accurate and explain how entitlement isn’t just a problem in the younger generation. Likewise, I examine how misaligned dreams, poor planning, and even sibling rivalry could create major problems for the future of your family business.

“Education helps us and, if we apply it, we can often sidestep pitfalls.” – Justin Goodbread

This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • The Three-Generation Rule (1:10)
  • “Most of it is nonsense!” (1:50)
  • Entitlement (4:09)
  • Is your dream your child’s dream? (10:22)
  • Planning for future generations (12:20)
  • Sibling rivalry and the family business (15:10)
  • Mitigating the pitfalls of your kids taking over the family business (16:27)

Our Favorite Quotes:

“Do we not give any credence to the fact that these children have been in the business and have grown up seeing the business nurtured, seeing the business morph, seeing the business grow?” – Justin Goodbread

“You want to start thinking about your exit long before you ever plan on exiting the company, whether that be through a sale outside the company or whether that be a transfer internally, to the children. – Justin Goodbread

Recession is a very real part of the economic cycle. Yet, it’s one that nobody really likes to talk about. Understandably, the term conjures many negative emotions. People become fearful during periods of uncertainty in the economy. But we must think differently, as business owners.

Although your instinct may be to draw back and cut spending during economic uncertainty, this will likely prevent you from taking advantage of the opportunities it presents. Knowing how to weather a recession could put you and your business in a very advantageous position when the economy recovers.

In this episode, I look at five ways you could take advantage of the next recession. I explain how a recession fits into the normal economic cycle and how you can access more affordable advertising, vendor pricing, and more. Join me to find out how your business could benefit from a recession.

“Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” – Warren Buffett This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • What is a recession and where does it fit within the economic cycle? (01:30)
  • How can business owners take advantage of the next recession? (04:00)
  • Affordable advertising. (05:50)
  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO). (08:14)
  • Market expansion. (09:57)
  • Negotiate better vendor pricing. (12:01)

Our Favorite Quotes: “Discomfort is essential for growth... if you’re a successful business owner then pain, and suffering is familiar to you.” – Justin Goodbread

“A recession can feel like a storm coming upon us. The reality is, a wise business owner leans into that wind.” – Justin Goodbread

Business owners all over the country are feeling the effects of inflation in their organizations. The longer it goes on, the harder it becomes to simply “wait it out.” The truth is many business owners are facing a tough choice… continue watching their profit margins diminish until they’re forced to close their doors or increase their pricing.

But how can business owners raise their rates without losing customers?

In this episode, I detail the necessary steps to increase your pricing without scaring away your customers. I explain the importance of quantifying your changes with real data, communicating increases with your sales team, and following up with customers after the increase has taken place. Additionally, I look at why timing is critical to successfully executing a price increase.
This week on The Financially Simple Podcast:

  • The effects of the current inflationary trend (02:35)
  • A multi-faceted approach to determine what your price needs to be (04:45)
  • Gauging competitor pricing (08:25)
  • Peanut Butter Allocation (09:40)
  • Determining your increase (10:55)
  • Communicating your findings with your team (12:24)

In the tough economy we’re in, we frequently see fierce price wars raging between companies. Business owners are tenacious, bullheaded, and ferociously competitive people. We want to win at all costs, and all the time. But winning a price war can be dangerous—when we’re not careful with our emotions, we can find ourselves trying to win a race to the bottom. So, when you see your competitors drastically driving down their product or service price, don’t lower yours just yet.

In this episode, I discuss how we should respond as business owners whenever we find ourselves in a price war. I explain the negative impact of lowering your prices on your business, profit margins, product or service quality, and labor power. I describe how Apple increased its product sales by creating differentiation strategies and how Chick-fil-A outpaced its competitors without lowering their prices. I also share some strategies to implement in your business when facing a possible price war and outline other alternatives to lowering the price of your product or service.

“Whenever you see yourself engaging in a price war, you don’t necessarily need to respond in kind—you can create a differentiation and still keep your margins.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • Teen Wolf, Sears and Roebuck, and competing with prices
  • What price wars are and why they should be avoided
  • How engaging in price wars can reduce quality control
  • Why price wars and eliminating competitors can lead to higher prices in the long-run
  • The importance of assessing your competitors’ motives when they drop their prices
  • Creating creative differentiators instead of decreasing your prices
  • Developing strategic partnerships and creating great customer experience over low pricing
  • Educating your market on your quality and knowledge value

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “We’re at a time in the economy where we may find ourselves in a war on price. Don’t race to the bottom of the prices. Instead, hold them firm.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “If you want to be a successful business owner and drive value in your company, you cannot compete on price. If you need to change anything, look at expense cutting or investing in marketing.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “We need to assess why our competitor is drastically reducing their prices on a product or service. A price reduction may have nothing to do with you—perhaps your competitor is just liquidating.” - Justin Goodbread

Business owners and leaders always set visions not only for their companies, but for products and services as well. The thing is, life happens, and not everything turns out exactly as we plan. While we leaders and managers can push through change, disruptions, or obstacles, it’s not necessarily the same for teams and employees—and we’re inclined to go so fast that we don’t think about how the people around us perceive change and disruption.

In these circumstances, it’s easy for employees to become critical. That’s something we always want to avoid; when we’re driving change or adapting to disruptions like a pandemic, we need to get employee buy-in to have advocates for the success of the organization.

In this episode, I outline how you can build employee buy-in, especially during times of change and disruption. I define employee buy-in and differentiate it from employees’ adoption of your company’s mission. I explain why adoption—of company values or product and service vision—will quickly fall apart without employee buy-in. I also highlight how empathy and transparency create trust and buy-in and underscore how turning employees into advocates affects company success.

“Employee buy-in means the team has caught the vision and trusts you as the leader; they believe in what you’re trying to accomplish and are willing to climb mountains not for you, but with you.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • Acknowledging the difference between adoption and buy-in
  • How employee buy-in impacts the success of operational changes in a company
  • Building employee buy-in by cultivating honesty and empathy
  • Explaining the ‘why’ before the ‘how’ and the importance of communicating change
  • Gaining buy-in through incentivizing success
  • The power of transparency and tracking

Resources Mentioned:

  • Book: Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek
  • Book: Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “Adoption without buy-in means your team is simply following orders, and we may not be able to receive the best from them.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Before you can get buy-in, you need to articulate what you’re trying to accomplish in such a way that employees can connect. Then, you can bring them to a point where they feel essential and valued.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Every single employee has something rocking their worlds, and we need to be empathetic to that. It’s not all about work.” - Justin Goodbread

Many of us business owners are like drivers: our heads are always in the future, thinking about where our companies are headed. On the other hand, many of us aren’t experts in human resources and have difficulty working with groups of people with different personalities and skill sets. Still, people are an essential aspect of a company and we have to have a core group of high-performing employees aligned with the direction of the company we’re driving. And, amid the Great Resignation, it has become more imperative for business owners to keep their A-level employees happy.

In this episode, I outline the different ways to make your top-performing employees happy and retain them. I discuss how voluntary turnover rates have increased since the pandemic began and describe new workforce issues and needs today’s business owners face. I explain why flexible working arrangements are vital to retaining key employees. I also highlight the multigenerational impact of employee recognition and underscore how happy employees can increase your profit margin.

“If you have 10 employees, you are likely to have two to three voluntary departures in the near future, and it could be disruptive for your business.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • How voluntary turnover increased throughout the pandemic
  • The transient workforce and the stigmatization of remote work
  • Understanding employee demographics and their needs
  • Investing in employee engagement
  • How improving employee engagement can lead to increased profit margins
  • Daily actions that could increase employee engagement in your company
  • Supporting your top employees’ professional development
  • The multi-generational impact of employee recognition
  • Healthy corporate culture and avoiding toxicity in the workplace
  • Embracing workplace flexibility
  • Why flexible schedules and remote work are vital to retaining employees
  • Building friendship and camaraderie in the organization
  • How employee turnover drags profitability and team morale
  • How working with a business coach can help you overcome familiarity bias and retain your high-performing employees

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “Commit to your A-players’ movement and development. You can build a professional development system, no matter what industry you’re in.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “We have to maintain motivation. We need to build a healthy corporate culture, strengthen our employee relationship, and reduce micromanagement as much as possible.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “We have to rule with empathy. If we’re completely rigid and demanding peak performance with no empathy, someone who’s going through a hard time in their lives will not stay with the company.” - Justin Goodbread

Undoubtedly, in our lives as business owners, we will reach a point where we find ourselves considering selling our businesses. Some owners may feel like they've already achieved a certain goal while others may want to sell their business to raise funds for a new venture. Whatever the reason is, we business owners need to be prepared, and we need to take a step back and evaluate whether it’s really time to exit our businesses.

In this episode, I outline the factors that determine whether a business owner is ready to sell their company. I explain why many business owners feel regretful within a year of selling their businesses and discuss how you can avoid experiencing an identity crisis after exiting your business. I also describe the "trigger" events that make owners want to transition their companies and underscore why an exit plan is essential to a successful business sale.

“With real estate, it’s ‘location, location, location.’ With business exits, it’s timing, timing, timing.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • The factors that determine you’re ready to sell your business
  • Thinking about the goals and life you want to have after business
  • Evaluating your personal finances
  • How to avoid regret and identity crisis after selling your business
  • Putting together a transition team before selling your company
  • Building a solid contingency plan
  • Understanding your "trigger" events and defining the "win" for your business
  • The contents of an exit plan

  • Book: Walking to Destiny: 11 Actions An Owner MUST Take to Rapidly Grow Value & Unlock Wealth by Christopher Snider

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “Without an exit plan, you could put yourself in a position where you’d regret selling your company within a year.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “We want to build the business—and you—in a way that whenever opportunities and wins cross paths, you are completely prepared.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “It was because of exit planning that I was able to accomplish an unbelievable dream of mine: to reach a certain number, and to position employees and clients to where they can win.” - Justin Goodbread

What do you do when you hire the wrong person into your company?

One of the most difficult aspects of owning and running a business is human resources—people, and hiring them. As business owners, we spend a lot of time, money, resources, sweat, intellectual equity, and energy trying to hire the right people: we articulate and write the perfect job description and go through hours of countless interviews. So, when we realize that an employee isn’t a good fit for the role, it becomes a difficult challenge for us to approach.

In this episode, I discuss the steps to take when you’ve hired the wrong person. I explain why cultural fit is non-negotiable in your organization and outline passive and proactive approaches to identifying poor cultural fit. I describe the signs that tell you’ve hired the right person for the wrong role and how you can fix the issue. I also highlight how you can mitigate legal action following the termination of an employee due to poor fit or performance and underscore the importance of leading with empathy and grace.

“Cultural fit is non-negotiable. Positive corporate culture enhances productivity through collaboration and creates engagement. A poor cultural fit can demoralize the team and cause burnout.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • Leadership and providing a pathway to success for employees
  • Why cultural fit is non-negotiable when hiring employees
  • The tell-tale signs of an employee with a poor cultural fit
  • Passive and proactive approaches to identifying cultural anomalies in your company
  • Addressing workplace toxicity and the importance of creating safe reporting mechanisms
  • Avoiding the “Me” monster and the importance of valuing growth over ego
  • Leading with empathy and how to deal with low-performing employees
  • What to do when you’ve hired the right person into the wrong role
  • Mitigating legal action and lawsuits from firing an employee with a poor fit

Resources Mentioned:

  • Book: Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap…And Others Don’t by Jim Collins
  • Book: The Dream Manager: Achieve Results Beyond Your Dreams by Helping Your Employees Fulfill Theirs by Matthew Kelly

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “As leaders, we need to ensure that we’ve done our very best for our employees—those whom we’ve hired into our companies to excel and succeed.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Identify and address the problems of a cultural fit before they can make major problems; if you allow them to fester, your company’s productivity and profitability can dive.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Lead with empathy and be transparent. However, we need to always be ready to make hard decisions and let people go.” - Justin Goodbread

We entrepreneurs have an unbelievable propensity for optimism. When it comes to cutting ties with something familiar, we often face familiarity bias. So, when it’s time to phase out a product or service, we tend to cling to it. Or because it’s familiar to us, we never know the right time to innovate our product or service mix and lose out on opportunities to widen our margins. But, friends, the world of business is a world of change. The economy ebbs and flows, and consumer trends always evolve. And as things change, we business owners have to be adaptable and in constant creation mode.

In this episode, I outline the factors that tell us it’s time to let go of an offer in our business. I explain what the product life cycle is, the characteristics of its different stages, and the variables that impact its phases. I discuss some key considerations we must make before discontinuing a product or service. I also highlight how tracking the profitability of a product or service can help us evaluate if we should discontinue it and underscore how you can effectively communicate to your customers the discontinuation of a product or service.

“When we understand our biases, we can take an objective look at whether or not we should continue a product offering.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • Understanding the product life cycle and its four phases
  • Signs that a product has reached its growth and maturity phases
  • Different factors that impact the different phases of a product’s life cycle
  • Tracking the profitability of a product or service
  • How focusing on one product too much can harm your product mix and your business
  • Looking at employee costs and the cost of production
  • A quick and dirty math tip for business owners
  • How highly engaged and motivated employees can increase your profit margins
  • How to make cross-selling opportunities work
  • Considering your product array and the power of cross-selling
  • How products can “cannibalize” others in your product array
  • How to effectively communicate product or service discontinuation to your customers or clients

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “We could be harming ourselves by chasing an old, dying product or service when we should be focusing on a new one which could make a greater margin for our business.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “As we try to navigate the world of business, we have to look at the offering we deliver to customers and clients. We want an offering that makes clients stick around—that drives profitability, scalability, and the value of our companies.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “The way you communicate a product’s discontinuation drives perception. And, as we say: perception is reality.” - Justin Goodbread

Every day when I turn on the news I see the word “inflation” and never in my life have I seen this word so much. Just the other day, my wife and I went to our local grocery store and purchased bacon, but the cost has been getting increasingly expensive. It’s not just food—we’ve seen inflation impact power bills and gasoline. Every time we turn around, it seems like inflation is rearing its ugly head. It’s a nemesis: an enemy to wealth creation

As business owners, we’re not just facing inflation at home. It’s not just impacting our checkbooks, but our daily business operations too. As we question how we can deal with inflation, we must also consider how we can increase our profits during these times.

In this episode, I discuss inflation and how your business can maintain or increase profit margins during inflationary times. I outline some actions to take to mitigate the effects of inflation on your business. I share some inflationary trends and insights from the Harvard Business Review and describe how one company broke down silos and saved $300 million on annual expenses by appointing and empowering a spending czar. I also discuss how technology and automation can help save money and make processes more efficient and underscore the importance of remaining vigilant during inflation.

“Inflation is here and, as business owners, it’s imperative that we focus. To weather this particular storm and survive its attacks is going to require vigilance.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • Annual inflation rates in 2022
  • How inflation changes the nature of business
  • The pros and cons of adjusting the pricing of your products or services
  • The ‘five by five principle’ and controlling your spending during inflationary times
  • Differentiating strategic and non-strategic expenses
  • The power of accurate accounting and inventory controls
  • Using the efficiency of technology
  • Prioritizing high-profit margin products during inflation
  • The economic cycle

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “Inflation drastically changes the nature of our business, and loss of profit and decrease in margins impact us directly.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “You must be vigilant and agile. Every day you have to keep a finger at the pulse of your businesses. If you don’t, you may not be able to move fast enough to keep your margins in place.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “There are things we don’t have to spend money on in our business, and when we're in inflationary times, we want to be protective of our resources.” - Justin Goodbread

You’ve probably heard me preach—shout from the mountaintops, even—several times that for us to drive the values of our companies, we have to decentralize ourselves. We have to remove ourselves from the epicenter of our business—position ourselves where it can function without us. But if decentralization is crucial to the success of our companies, why do we keep returning to the fray?

In this episode, I discuss recentralization, why business owners do it, and what to do to avoid it. I share the different factors that make business owners jump back into the center of their business and explain how decentralization drives the growth of your business. I also highlight the power of business systems and standard operating procedures and underscore the importance of cultivating your company’s culture.

“Don’t recentralize yourself. Your team, your customers, and your business are incumbent on you decentralizing—removing yourself from the epicenter of the business.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • How the process of decentralization helps drive up the value of a company
  • What is business recentralization
  • Pride and fear and how they drive us to recentralize
  • The unwillingness to balance quality and growth
  • Quality control and how to prevent recentralization
  • The introduction of the Six Sigma quality methodology
  • How robust systems and processes help prevent recentralization
  • The right way to disseminate standard operating procedures in the company

Resources Mentioned:

  • Book: The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It by Michael Gerber

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “Until your business processes become second-nature to your team, the fire will continue to entice you to jump back into your system and recentralize yourself, costing you the hard work you’ve done to increase the value of your company.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Create a happy team. If your employee base is content, your client base is content. If your employee base is not content, your client base will not be content.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “When we decentralize ourselves from the company, we can see the growth of the company, but we also drive quality. But if we don’t balance growth and quality, we cause ourselves to recentralize—to jump back into the fray.” - Justin Goodbread

Sales and marketing teams play similar roles in a company. However, many business owners fail to understand the relationship between sales and marketing, costing them resources and the opportunity to efficiently scale their businesses. When it is understood, cultivated, and optimized, a balance of sales and marketing can create happy, long-term customers while boosting a company’s growth.

In this episode, I discuss the relationship between sales and marketing. I define what sales and marketing teams are and describe their tasks and responsibilities within a company. I explain how the collaboration between sales and marketing teams increases efficiency and creates long-term, happy clients. I also highlight why margin matters more than volume and underscore why business owners need to include sales and marketing together in their strategic plans.

“Sales and marketing are like a hand and a glove, like pepperoni and pizza, and like peanut butter and jelly.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • Why many businesses don’t see the relationship between sales and marketing
  • The definitions of sales and marketing
  • How sales teams convert qualified prospects into satisfied customers
  • The importance of growing your business through a long-term relationship strategy
  • The sales team’s mission to convert prospects into long-term, happy clients

I went through the process of exiting three businesses in the last year. Despite my experience as an entrepreneur and certified exit planning advisor, I found that the process of moving my business from an illiquid to a liquid position was challenging. Truly, there’s no amount of preparation that can prepare you for the emotional rollercoaster you’re going to ride as you exit your business.

What you can prepare for when you exit your business, however, are the blind spots.

In this episode, I explain how to avoid the largest blindspots in exit planning and transitioning your business. I describe the advantages and challenges associated with transitioning a business to employees, family members, or the open market. I also discuss avoiding the familiarity bias and underscore the power of working with a certified exit planning advisor.

“A blindspot is only going to be revealed and repaired for your ultimate sale when you couple yourself up with clear thinking, determination, and a guide who has walked that path.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • The benefits and challenges of selling your business to a key employee
  • The advantage and disadvantages of transitioning your company to a family member
  • Tax planning in estate planning
  • Selling to an open market and its pros and cons
  • The biggest blindspot in exit planning and how to fill it
  • Working with a certified exit planning advisor and avoiding the familiarity bias
  • Working through a SWOT analysis
  • The three types of businesses
  • Why we need to work with coaches outside of our industry

Resources Mentioned:

  • Book: The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America’s Wealthy by Thomas Stanley

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “If we business owners delay, we might not be prepared for the opportunity of exiting our businesses. We might miss it, get less than desirable value, or even regret the sale.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “We want to make our assets as valuable as possible. If we invest in it properly, it can give us better value than the open markets and real estate can. We can control it. We can drive it.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Coaches are powerful. I challenge you to hire a business coach that’s not in your industry and let them challenge you, ask you lots of questions, and make you defend what you’re doing.” - Justin Goodbread

There are a few ways to sell your business: you can sell to a family member or your employees or managers. But what if none of your family members want to take over your business? What if your managers don’t feel ready to take an entrepreneurial role? In that case, you may want to sell your business to an open market. Just like other exit strategies, selling your company to an open market comes with blindspots that every business owner should be wary of.

In this episode, I discuss the three common exit planning blindspots every business owner needs to consider when selling their business to an open market. I explain why many business owners are unsatisfied with the sale of their business and how to avoid renegotiating against yourself. I also reveal how a business advisor can help you manage your time and maximize value when selling your company.

“Selling your business to a third party has the highest value ceiling among all the exit strategies.” - Justin Goodbread

The idea of selling a company to a manager or a group of employees isn’t unheard of. In my decades of being an entrepreneur and consultant to other business owners, I’ve listened to many conversations about transitioning organizations to workers. But should you actually sell your business to your employee? What are the holes and blindspots that you need to consider?

In this episode, I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of selling your company to a key employee. I reveal the tax and legal risks involved in transitioning your business to an employee or group of employees. I also explain how hiring financial advisors can help manage risks during the selling process and share some different exit planning tools and approaches to use when selling your company to an employee.

“A key employee—because they have tenure and understand the mission, values, and legacy of the company—will more than likely remain committed to the direction and charge of the company.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • The advantages and disadvantages of selling your company to a key employee
  • The survival rate of transitioning a business to a key employee

  • Legal and tax risks associated with the installment sale approach
  • Exit planning with the employee stock option plan and how it works
  • The disadvantages of using the employee stock option plan

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “There’s a certain fire in the belly of business owners that many employees may not have or may not be comfortable with; just because they’re a great employee doesn’t mean they’re a great entrepreneur or business owner.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “If the key employee is willing to take on their own capital and use that to put the down payment, you know that they’re sincere.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “You, as a business owner, should be able to know where your business is heading just by looking at your critical success factors: your key performance indicators, performance indicators, and key results indicators.” - Justin Goodbread

Whenever I sit down with business owners and ask them where their business is going to end up, the majority of them have the same answer: they’ll give it to their kids. But even if business owners transition their business to their family, it is not without risk. So, if you’re an entrepreneur who wants your children to continue your business legacy someday, what are the things you can do to make a successful transition?

In this episode, I discuss selling your business to a family member and transitioning your company to your children. I describe the “Three Generation” rule and share some studies about the longevity of family businesses. I also highlight the risks involved in selling to family members and share my advice on how to groom your children to be your business successor.

This past year—after over three decades of being a business owner—I finally sold my business. There were a few things that I was fortunately prepared for and I was able to avoid devastating blindspots. Unfortunately, not a lot of business owners plan for their exit and, when they do eventually sell their company, they sell it for well under their expectations. How can you avoid this and ensure that you sell your business to its full value?

In this episode, I discuss the value of exit planning and building your business for the perfect buyer. I outline different business blindspots and how to detect them. I explain why it’s difficult for business owners to detect blind spots and why it can be challenging to let go of a business. I also describe the emotional struggles of selling a company and how I felt after selling mine.

“Preparing today through exit planning—planning the business for transaction—is just good business strategy.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • Where a business owner’s net worth is locked up
  • What a business concession is and the importance of exit planning
  • What proximity blindness means for your business
  • Why it’s hard for business owners to let go of their companies
  • How business coaches have helped me see my business’s blindspots and challenged my thinking
  • Business attractiveness and how to measure it
  • Thinking about your ideal client and target persona for a business sale
  • Owner readiness and why business owners should think about their personal wealth gap
  • The emotional struggles of selling your company
  • How I’ve felt since selling my businesses

  • “Consider what your business’s attractiveness looks like right now and if you’re ready to sell it. And if they look good, consider who you’re selling your business to.” - Justin Goodbread

If something in your business can be measured, it’s something you can improve. But we business owners often don’t measure; instead, we’re keen on licking our forefingers and sticking them up in the air to see which way the wind blows. If we want to scale our businesses and increase their value, we need to create a systematic guideline that’s objective, measurable, and repeatable.

In this episode, I discuss what standard operating procedures are and why every business needs to have them. I explain the importance of putting standard operating procedures (SOPs) into writing and how you can choose the appropriate format for your SOP manual. I also discuss how writing a solid SOP document can increase the value of your company and underscore how having effective SOPs can give you the freedom that you deserve.

“SOPs are instruction manuals for your company; they ensure that you’re documenting every step you’ve done, so you can control the quality in your company.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • What standard operating procedures mean for your business
  • What tasks require standard operating procedures
  • Why SOPs need to be put into writing and what it means to “train-scale”
  • The KISS theory of business and how to write company SOPs
  • Choosing the appropriate format for SOP documents
  • Different CRM systems for your SOPs
  • Deciding who writes your operating processes
  • Outsourcing the creation of your SOPs
  • How creating solid standard operating procedures can give you freedom and liberation

Resources Mentioned:

  • Zoho CRM
  • Confluence
  • LucidChart
  • Loom
  • Process Street

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “There are so many tasks in a company. If you see a major process, you’ll want to make an SOP for that, especially if it’s a repeated task.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “When you delineate SOPs into writing, it gives your team the rules on which it can operate, providing them with consistency while decentralizing management.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “You don’t have to let your business own you. Processes and SOPs are the keys to efficiency and liberty in business; they give you freedom.” - Justin Goodbread

I have been helping business owners and entrepreneurs reach their dreams and goals through consulting for over two decades. And over the years, one thing is obvious to me: the companies that have detailed and implemented processes are the companies that often yield the best results. So how do you build and implement impactful business processes that can help you scale your organization?

In this episode, I outline what a business process is and the four characteristics that make it effective. I explain how writing your company’s business processes in detail can help your organization be more efficient and reach your goals. I also discuss why you need to communicate to your team that a new business process can help them reach their goals and highlight why a business process needs to remain flexible and replicable.

“The ability to pause and put into writing your processes creates more efficiency, helping your company reach your goals.” - Justin Goodbread

In our business or personal lives, it’s probable that we sometimes step on other peoples’ toes. We’re only human, after all. As entrepreneurs and business owners, it’s also probable that there will be times when we need to handle a conflict or complaint brought to us by an employee or stakeholder. Whenever there’s a workplace issue, we need to follow some key actions and guidelines to effectively deal with conflict.

In this episode, I discuss how you can handle conflicts and complaints in the workplace. I examine why you may want to consider hiring an outside investigator when handling disputes in the workplace. I explain why you need to have a working knowledge of employment law whether you decide to hire an external investigator or not. I describe the Society of Human Resource Managers (SHRM), the work that they do, and their guidelines for handling workplace investigations. I also underscore the importance of protecting all parties involved and highlight why you need to be detail-oriented when proceeding with an investigation.

“We have a lot to carry as business owners. What’s at risk are our reputation, livelihood, net worth, and the reputation of our team and the livelihood of families we’ve been entrusted with.” - Justin Goodbread

Whether you realize it or not, we are all playing the Wealth Game. Some never get off first base; others sprint and find themselves in second base; a lucky few reach third base. However, no matter where you are in the game of wealth, you must finish the game and reach the home plate of your financial life. So, what does winning the Wealth Game look like and how do you get there?

In this episode, I discuss why it’s important to finish the wealth game by reaching home plate and outline how to get there. I enumerate the three characteristics of people who have reached home plate. I share the financial tools you can leverage as you generate wealth—including life and disability insurance—and explain why the IRC is the single greatest wealth generation tool in America. I also highlight the value of working with coaches and financial advisors.

If you’ve reached third base in the Wealth Game, congratulations! You more than likely have achieved your financial goals. You know, without a shadow of a doubt, that you and your family are financially secure and that you can meet your goals, whatever they are. At this point of the Wealth Game, you might think that that’s it—you’ve won. But the game is not over yet. Your journey is not complete until you make it to home plate.

In this episode, I discuss the trap of third base. I describe what it feels like to be on third base and why you can’t stay there. I explain why money shouldn’t be your focus when playing the Wealth Game, what you should aim for, and the Rule of 4%. I also highlight why money is only a tool and underscore how a team of advisors can help you successfully win your journey to home plate.

In baseball, moving to third base is a natural progression: you hit the ball, turn first base and run to second, then move to third. Of course, you wouldn’t stand idly on second base if you wanted to win—the same is true for the Wealth Game. At the second base of the Wealth Game, you might consider yourself successful. You’re living within a budget; your income is sustained and stable; you’re making regular contributions to your retirement plan; maybe you have a business you’re expanding. But don’t stop just yet—it’s time to move to third base.

In this episode, I discuss the transition from second to third base and how it differs from the previous moves. I explain how you can calculate your net worth to assess whether you’re ready to move to third base. I also reveal the secret sauce to accumulating wealth and describe how to make your assets support the lifestyle you want to live.

“The goal of the third base is to go where our assets provide us with enough income to cover the cost of our lifestyle.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • How to know if you’re ready to move from second to third base
  • How the move from second to third base differs from the move between first and second
  • The Millionaire Next Door Calculation Gap and the power of compounding interest
  • Using your income increase to expedite your transition from second to third base

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “Compounding interest is the secret sauce to making your track easier to the third base and providing you the income that you need.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “As your income increases, allow the spread of your lifestyle and earnings. If you can increase your investment and take your surplus over your lifestyle to magnify the speed at which you move from second to third, it’s a win-win.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Shift your mind away from reliance on income—the job that you have, and the business you sacrifice so much for—and move into the assets you’re accumulating.” - Justin Goodbread

If you have, congratulations, you’re in second base!

Yet—just as the run from first to second was difficult—the run from second to third can be arduous. So, how can you get there?

There are so many traps along the way of the Wealth Game that could keep you from achieving financial independence. Emotions, financial habits, and lifestyle choices can all tie us down to the Wealth Game’s first base and prevent us from moving to second—yet, it is not impossible. Those of us who aspire to move beyond first base have to figure out what it takes to reach second base: the stage of asset accumulation.

In this episode, I discuss how we can steal second base in the Wealth Game. I explain what lifestyle creeps are and why so many people get stuck in first base. I differentiate appreciating from depreciating assets and enumerate the many ways individuals can accumulate assets. I also highlight the importance of budgeting, discuss how budgeting can liberate our financial lives, and underscore how you can begin efficiently building and accumulating assets.

“In playing the game of wealth, what we’re truly after is something that appreciates in value. Otherwise, we won’t get much of a lead-off from first base.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • A recap on home plate and first base of the Wealth Game
  • Lifestyle creeps and the trappings of first base
  • Understanding the power of compound interest
  • The statistics on savings and retirement funds

  • “Nothing in life is free. If it doesn’t cost you money, it costs you time and emotions.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Look where you’re headed. Have a strategy, a plan, and a coach, or you’ll get stuck on first base.” - Justin Goodbread

I vividly remember playing baseball while I was growing up. I remember hitting the ball, running the bases, and hearing the fans go crazy. And, of course, there’s my dad on the sideline, jumping up and down, pumping his chest like a peacock, and shouting that he’s proud of me. The wealth game can have the same effects on our lives if we play it correctly—moving from home plate to first base, then setting our eyes to second.

In this episode, I discuss what it takes to move from home plate to first base. I describe the first base of the wealth game. I explain why many people get trapped in this first stage and outline how to avoid it. I discuss what a “lead-off” means in baseball and how it applies to the game of wealth. I also underscore the power of our aspirations.

“The game of wealth is super easy. Turn at first base and look at second; keep the destination in mind; don’t get sidetracked by the allures of a company. Focus on what matters most: second base.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • The inequality of life and the goal of the first base of the wealth game
  • How lifestyle choices can get people trapped in first base
  • Avoiding the trappings of the first base and the value of getting a coach

  • Taking a lead-off from the wealth game’s first base
  • Reviewing the rules of the wealth game

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “In the game of wealth, our desire is to turn first base and head towards second as rapidly as possible.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “It doesn’t matter what income you make–what matters are your aspirations and visions.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “The lifestyles we choose at first base is the single detriment, the single deterrent, the single determinant for us reaching second base.” - Justin Goodbread

What is wealth to you? Is it happy relationships with friends and family? Or, like Virgil, do you think that wealth is health? What about financial wealth? For so many people, the idea of financial wealth is something mystical—something that belongs to fantasy. But I genuinely believe that wealth is a game and, if we can teach people how to play it, it can be easier, less intimidating, and more enjoyable. In this episode, I discuss the wealth game and explain its rules. I define financial independence and describe the different kinds of wealth. I also outline the different stages of financial wealth and underscore why your attitude toward money can affect your wealth.

“Money is no more than a magnifier of your true character.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • What wealth is and the different aspects of life it entails
  • The rules of the wealth game
  • Defining financial independence
  • The baseball diamond and the different bases of financial wealth
  • How your attitude toward money can affect wealth

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “No amount of money is worth losing yourself. The moment you make this game of wealth about money, you’ve lost the game.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Being financially independent means allowing your hard work and all your blessings—everything that has culminated at this point—to not just provide for yourself but also bless others.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “It’s a privilege for us to work: a blessing to be able to toil so we can get paid—an honest day's work for an honest day’s pay.” - Justin Goodbread

The role of video in our everyday lives has become more and more prominent. In fact, Business Insider has observed an unprecedented growth in digital video viewership between 2019 and 2020. Yet, despite this rapid increase in viewers, we small business owners don’t really tap into the power of video in marketing. I believe that if we took the time and energy to create video-based assets for marketing our businesses, we could drastically increase their value. In this episode, I discuss the power of video in marketing. I share statistics on the growing demand for video as well as the increasing viewership brought about by the pandemic. I discuss why video marketing doesn’t have to be expensive and is feasible with just your smartphone. I also highlight how video marketing has helped us get quality leads and underscore why video facilitates a more connected form of communication.

“Companies who use video to improve their business increase their sales, brand awareness, retention rate, and social capital, and drive their greatest client to their door.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • The power and importance of video marketing
  • How COVID-19 impacted the rapid increase of video viewership
  • Why creating videos for marketing doesn’t have to be expensive
  • How the service sectors can make use of video marketing for their business
  • Why creating how-to videos can help grow your market
  • How using videos can help in lead generation
  • Incorporating the power of video into your business

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “By getting into the regular habit of sharing what you do in business with your followers, you create an unbelievable return on investment.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “The minute we started making videos, we started seeing our engagement and the quality of our leads become more impactful.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Video allows us to be more involved and intimate. It allows facial recognition, nonverbal communication, tone, and inflection—so much more than just audio alone or just the static picture.” - Justin Goodbread

If you’re like me, you spent 90% of your time speaking face-to-face and engaging with clients and groups of people before Covid-19. When the pandemic hit, my world changed. I, like many business owners, had to transition from doing in-person communication to interacting with clients and other people through the phone or video conferencing. But if a business owner isn’t using all the video capabilities an app has, they’re missing out on the true power of video and visual communication. In this episode, I discuss how the pandemic has impacted the use of video conferencing for business. I describe how I did most of my communication before the pandemic and outline the advantages of phone calls. I highlight how video calls can provide a more personal experience and improve information retention and focus when conferencing. I also underscore how visual communication can help us tell stories.

“We use video to tell a story—we are in an animated world and our eyes are used to moving objects.” - Justin Goodbread

  • One of my all-time favorite movies
  • How Covid-19 changed my world and my pivot to online video conferencing

  • “Sometimes a quick phone call or a text message is all we need; but when you need to touch base on several topics, video conferencing is your best option.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Face-to-face meetings are the best options, where we use all our senses. But in today’s fast-paced world, go with the more personal conferencing with all the video capabilities on.” - Justin Goodbread

We business owners are a unique breed. In addition to the many plates we spin and the responsibilities we have, we want to see our businesses move forward. And, whether you realize it or not, we have a destructive habit that, if left unchecked, can undermine our dreams, our team, and our vision—and that habit is self-sabotage. In this episode, I discuss what self-sabotage is, why it happens, how to identify it, and how to limit it. I outline the roots of self-sabotage and describe how fear prevents us from seeking growth. I explain what impostor syndrome is and how it is a detriment to our chance of success. I also share different ways to overcome self-sabotage and underscore the value of self-awareness for business owners.

“When we have an abundance mindset we often never harm ourselves.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • How we bend our values and goals to pursue immediate gratification
  • The negative mindset, how self-sabotage stems from it, and how to reframe it
  • My love for pizza and the difference between conscious and unconscious self-sabotage
  • Finding the roots of self-sabotage
  • How fear triggers self-sabotage
  • Impostor syndrome and how it detriments our chance of success
  • The common forms of self-sabotage
  • Perfectionism and how it leads us to self-sabotage
  • Celebrating small victories and other ways to combat impostor syndrome
  • Why micromanaging and not asking for help is self-sabotage

I’ve been in the business game for over 30 years, and in that time, I’ve helped many business owners sell or buy businesses (I also wrote The Ultimate Sale and Your Baby’s Ugly to tell the tale). However, it’s one thing to write about an event and another to go through it yourself; so, when I sold my companies, I was reminded of the key principles all business owners need to consider when preparing for great business change—whether they’re about to launch a new product or sell a company. In today’s episode, I share the key lessons I’ve learned from selling my businesses. I explain why preparing your team is vital when selling your business. I discuss why your customers are your most essential source of lessons when undergoing any kind of organizational transition. I also highlight the role of attitude in a successful business sale and underscore the importance of strategic planning in a business owner’s career.

“As you go through transitions and major events, your customers will be your greatest source of learning.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • My first trip to the Rocky Mountains in Montana
  • The failure rate of businesses when undergoing great transitions
  • Preparing and supporting your team through times of great change in business
  • The importance of increasing employee engagement
  • Letting your team be the driver of change
  • Preparing your customers through organizational change and communicating with them
  • The value of knowing your customers and overcommunicating with them
  • The role of attitude in successful business transitions
  • Being ready for extra negotiations in the process of selling your company
  • The three special people you need in your life as a business owner
  • How I almost cost myself six figures in taxes

  • “Through any time of change initiative, let your team drive the change; let your team be the catalyst. You, the business owner, set the vision, the direction, the value, and the tempo, then get out of the way.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Before you even get to the time where you consider selling your business, you have to have everything lined up. Planning is vital to us business owners.” - Justin Goodbread

“If you had limited time and resources, what would you do tomorrow that you’re not doing today?” This is a question I’ve thought a lot about since 2021—a time when my wife and our family experienced severe ups and downs that had us reevaluating what’s truly important to us. As we evaluated what mattered the most to us, one word kept coming back to me: “impact.” It has always been my mission to share knowledge and help people reach their destination; once I remembered this, I decided that it was time to make a change in my life and business. In this episode, I share some of the biggest news in my business career. I reveal why only less than 20% of business owners sell their companies and explain the reason I wrote The Ultimate Sale and Your Baby’s Ugly. I explain why we hired consultants for our businesses and reveal what they taught us about the wealth gap we needed to fill. I also describe our fight with COVID-19 and underscore how the experience inspired me and my wife to reevaluate what truly matters to us.

Throughout my career as a business owner and entrepreneur, I’ve had several people ask me why I put myself through this. Some naysayers have even blatantly told me that I’ll never make it. Whether you’re a seasoned business person or an aspiring entrepreneur, you’ve probably had someone tell you the same things. But, in the world of entrepreneurship, you’ll need to learn to put your earplugs on and keep working—because here, attitude is everything.

In this episode, I discuss the value of attitude in the life of an entrepreneur and business owner. I reveal the key characteristics that differentiate seasoned business owners from novice entrepreneurs. I explain how success is highly dependent on your goals and why it’s essential to define what success means for you. I also highlight the value of having a vision and the role of crystal-clear plans.

“Your attitude is everything. The way you approach every single day is everything.” - Justin Goodbread

  • Why entrepreneurship can be exhausting
  • Why life doesn’t care about your success
  • The best practices and tricks for ignoring the naysayers (in business and in life)

  • The attitude of success and its cost

In episode 386 of Financially Simple, Justin talks to Mital Patel of Triamicus Law about the legalities of selling your business.

With the “do-it-yourself” attitude of most business owners, some of the important, complex, and difficult legal issues that crop up when selling a business can be overlooked or even ignored. In this episode, Justin and Mital go over the purchase agreement and consider the important fundamentals that must be addressed in the document so both the buyer and seller and even third parties involved are not liable for preventable issues.

Burn out and stress are two common issues Business Owners face in the running of their company, and as the business grows there comes a point when you can’t continue to do everything and will need to start delegating tasks in order to maintain that growth. In this episode, Justin explains how you as a business owner can begin relinquishing control over areas of your business, and handing those responsibilities to other team members so that you can have more time to focus on the work you want to do.

In episode 339 of Financially Simple, Justin considers why Business Owners’ personal finances can be such a mess.

Running your own business is like spinning plates, there’s a lot going on and if we don’t pay attention something gets overlooked and crashes, and, oftentimes, this is our own financials. In this episode, Justin looks at reasons why the business owner’s personal finances are usually overlooked, and gives some ways to address the problem.

There are many different ways that business owners can allow owning a business to harm their personal finances. For the sake of time, I'm only going to outline a few of the primary offenses that get business owners into personal financial trouble. If you read through this list and find that you can personally relate to any of them, don't worry. I'm going to follow up with ways to help you protect yourself, so you don't end up looking at your personal finances in your 30s or your personal wealth in your 40s, 50s, or 60s and think, "I'm going to have to work well into my 80s!"

  1. Operating your business as a sole proprietorship. Leaving your business unincorporated means that you and any partners you might have in the business are personally responsible for any business debts. This may seem like something you can control, but what happens when you find yourself on the wrong end of litigation?
  2. Use personal lines of credit to finance your business. Full disclosure, I've done this before. The problem is that it can lead to massive amounts of personal debt and limit your ability to secure financing in the future.
  3. Providing a personal guarantee to a lender. Like the previous two offenses, personally guaranteeing a loan places your personal finances directly in the cross-hairs of your creditors. Even if the business is dissolved, you will be held liable for any outstanding debts that you've guaranteed.
  4. Being unprepared for an unbalanced cash flow. Some businesses have an unbalanced cash flow. These are typically seasonal in nature, like water parks, landscaping companies, and outdoor sports shops. But cash flow is vital to your business. In fact, 82% of failed businesses cite a lack of cash flow as the primary reason they failed. Business owners can often cause serious harm to their personal finances by not preparing for the lean times that come in the "down" months of a business with an unbalanced cash flow with an emergency fund.

How Do We Protect Ourselves? Now that we have an idea of some of the typical ways business owners harm their personal finances through their businesses, let's shift gears. As business owners, what are the simplest ways to protect our personal finances from our businesses? How do we protect ourselves? Finances don't have to be difficult. So, whatever season of life you find yourself in, protect your personal finances. Pay yourself first and move on from there.

  1. Create an entity. I know operating as a sole proprietorship is easy. However, there's a tradeoff for that. In my opinion, the risk outweighs the reward. Whether it be a partnership or an LLC., you're protecting yourself from personal liability by creating an entity. Filing within your local jurisdiction is simple, and it provides you with the protection of a corporate veil.
  2. Build an emergency fund. This is finance 101. Like I said before, pay yourself first. You might think you don't need to keep very much liquidity, but that's what many of us thought before COVID-19. If you have 3 - 6 months' worth of expenses stashed in an emergency fund, you can typically handle the curveballs that life throws at you.
  3. Be sure to have enough insurance coverage. Having the correct insurance coverages is extremely important, but so is having enough coverage. All it takes is one lawsuit, one catastrophe to wipe out your personal finances. If you're unsure whether you have the right coverage or enough of it, speak with a licensed insurance agent.
  4. Don't sacrifice your retirement savings. I realize that many of you view your business as your retirement savings, but I want to unpack a couple of things here. I work with 50 to 60-year-old business owners all the time and their retirement savings compared to their non-business-owning counterparts are abysmal. But if you diversify your income, placing some of the money into retirement accounts, those accounts are often off-limits to creditors. Furthermore, retirement isn't a "get rich quick" scheme. Use the "slow money" of Wall Street to protect your future from the possibility that your business doesn't sell. By investing in retirement accounts, you can take advantage of the eighth wonder of the world... compounding interest.
  5. Keep debt to a minimum. I hate debt. To me, debt is a four-letter word. However, I am aware that there are times when taking on debt makes sense. Regardless of your personal view of debt, whether you're 100% against it or see it as an opportunity to leverage, keep it to a bare minimum.

As we wrap this up, I hope you've taken a good hard look at a very personal subject. You might be one of the fortunate ones that can look at this subject and say, "I'm doing great!" If you are, then I applaud you. But, maybe you've seen some things that you don't like. If that's you, what are you going to do about it? What are you going to do today to change the trajectory of your life? What you do today can affect your personal finances in your 30s or your personal wealth in your 40s. It will likely impact your retirement when you've reached your 60s.

Believe it or not, these aren’t uncommon issues for business owners. I see it day in and day out. We help business owners put their personal and business finances on track to work in unison to reach their goals every day. We aim to teach business owners how they could double their net worth every 3 - 5 years. If you would like to learn more about how we can help you, reach out to us!

In episode #66 of Financially Simple's podcast, Justin examines how the value and profitability of a business are related by separate concepts.

Justin compares a business's value to its profitability and considers the various factors that influence each of these aspects.

In episode 19 of Financially Simple, Justin talks about being financially prepared as a Business Owner for the sale of your Business.

Do you know what your worth is? Is it enough to cover the lifestyle you hope to have after the sale of your Business? Justin talks the talk, sharing his Iron Man experience, and how it relates to being ready for the big one - the sale of your Business. Knowing if the money from the sale will be enough to retire on, or if it will only last a few years depending on your lifestyle, is important. Taking an assessment of you and your business will help to prepare for that day.
