The Business Owners Guide to Financial Freedom - What Wall Street Isn't Telling You | Mark J Kohler

Now, if you're a business owner or on your path to business ownership, I have a must read book for you. I know. I'm convinced that millions of Americans are starving for good financial advice as a business owner and they don't know where to turn. They want some good tax advice and some good legal protection advice that makes sense and a path of where they deploy their profits. Well, my new book, the Business Owner's Guide to Financial Freedom. And what Wall street isn't telling you is just that, the guidebook to help you on your path to success. That's what this book is about. Now, let's get real. Let me explain how this topic of financial freedom became such a huge part of my dialogue. For years as a cpa, I've been consulting clients on how to save taxes and as an attorney, asset protection and structuring their businesses efficiently and affordably. But the financial freedom topic and conversation was always there. It was there in every meeting. Are you in debt? Do you have a little financial reserve? And then the question always came up, where do I deploy my profits? What do I invest in? Is a rental property, a vacation home? Is it insurance? Where do I put my money? And that conversation permeated so many consultations that I said, I've got to talk about financial freedom. Now let me be honest. I got my vision of financial freedom from the master, Dave Ramsey. I love him. He's changed my life and lives of millions of Americans on just two basic principles. Get out of debt and pay off your home. But a lot of my business owners that get past that level go, well, where do I go next with my financial freedom as a business owner? So that's what this book is about, is taking it to the next level. Where do you deploy your profits as a business owner and who do I trust? Now, there's five sections to this book and number one, we're going to expose Wall Street. That's right. And a little shout out to Tony Robbins, too. I love his new book, exposing the truth about your financial advisor and where his allegiances really lie. In my first two to three chapters, I bust out the truth. You're going to love it. As to who to trust and not to trust when you do invest in Wall street and how as a business owner, you've got to be careful. In section two, I introduced my co author, Randy Luecke, a man that I'm so impressed with that has changed my life and helped me in my perspective of financial freedom and financial management. He's changed my life in so many different ways of what he taught me. I begged him to be a part of this book process. In this book experience in there, we introduced the 4x4 plan. In this, we talk about optimizing what you already have, getting out of debt and having a reserve, and then walking into a financial landscape of choices. In that fourth step, where do you go next? Where do you take the profits from your business and what do you invest in? In section four, I talk about exiting your business. How do you get out? Who do you sell to? Family, employees, a third party? How do you extract yourself from the business and get that financial freedom that you've been working for? I know what you're thinking. Your business is your number one financial investment and asset. Well, how do we capitalize on it? Finally, we bring it all together with the asset protection piece. I know that sounds cliche, but it's really. How do you protect this model, this financial freedom, this machine you built? And it's not just setting up LLCs or corporations or trusts. It's about cyber security. It's about estate planning. It's about having an approach to pass it on to the next generation or to the charity you love or to the people you love. I don't know. What's your plan? Gotta have a plan. In summary, I hope you can find the time to read the book, listen to the audiobook, and find your path to financial freedom.
