Gary Stone, Founder of Share Wealth Systems and author of the recently published book “Blueprint to Wealth: Financial Freedom in 15 Minutes a Week” joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Gary Stone discuss the following:

* Nest egg Alert! Will we have enough?

* Why won’t people have enough for a comfortable and independent retirement?

* What actions can people take right now to reach the necessary nest egg for a comfortable and independent retirement?

* How does an everyday person invest better to beat the best of the best Retirement funds – 401(k), Superannuation, Pension – in just 15 minutes a quarter, or an hour a year?

* How does an everyday investor protect their investments against the large bear, especially those that are nearing or are already in retirement?

Gary Stone has a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics. He started his investing career in the stock market in 1989. Gary combined two of his main business interests, computing and the stock market, to establish a business in 1994 that provides active investing research, solutions, services and coaching to everyday investors.

Using technical analysis, Gary has researched and designed three investing methodologies that are commercially available to everyday investors. Gary uses these methodologies to invest his own money and continues to conduct ongoing market research and analysis. His business has also developed its own commercially available intermediate-range technical analysis software called Beyond Charts.

Since 2008, Gary has continued to appear regularly on Sky Business television finance programs in Australia and on radio in the U.S. and in Australia.  He has also contributed numerous articles for financial magazines over the years. Since 1999 he has presented at:

* Multiple financial Trade shows.

* Australian Technical Analysis Association (ATAA) meetings around Australia including four Annual ATAA Conferences the most recent of which is in October 2016, doubling up as the Annual Conference for IFTA (International Federation of Technical Analysts).

Gary has published his first book in 2016 titled: “Blueprint to Wealth: Financial Freedom in 15 Minutes a Week. Powerful Time-tested Investing Strategies to Grow Your Nest Egg.”

Iain’s Investment Plan:

“Iain” is the name of an everyday investor, who is following a simple investment strategy detailed in “Blueprint to Wealth” – Gary Stone’s invaluable, no-nonsense guide to cutting through the clutter and getting more growth for your retirement nest egg.

This nest egg strategy reflects the everyday worker, with average contributions and an average retirement nest egg. Iain is already proving how simple it is to take control and outperform typical 401(k) and Superannuation plans by a long shot… in less than 15 minutes a week.

For decades, many large mutual fund institutions and their distribution networks have preyed on would-be investors and scared them into believing that it is too risky and too difficult to be a DIY investor. But Iain’s been mentored in the book, so he knows it’s not true and there’s a better way.

By following a simple “Blueprint to Wealth” strategy, Iain is well and truly bucking the trend. He’s proving the large financial players completely wrong and achieving a much higher return than he would have in his old fund… and he only switched on January 4th 2016. Over the first year to 31st December 2016, Iain’s nest egg grew by 22%, net of all costs, compared to the S&P500 Total Return index rising by 12%.

Shawn Geitner, Founder and Owner of Beleave Teas with a mission is to help customers easily find a tea that they will love to drink and make them feel good joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Shawn Geitner discuss the following:

* What made you decide to start your own Tea Company?

* How does your background in Education help you in your business?

* What do you find to be your biggest challenge as a Mommy Entrepreneur?

* What is the most rewarding part of what you do now?

* What three pieces of advice would you give other Mom’s that want to start their own business?

Beleave Teas Inc. was started originally in 2007 when I decided to retire from a seventeen year career as an elementary school and special needs teacher and start my own business. I was always a tea drinker even when I was younger. Growing up in Central Florida meant drinking a great deal of iced tea to combat the heat. My mother drank hot tea in the mornings because she felt that coffee was harsher on her stomach. This idea stayed with me. As I got older I began to enjoy and appreciate Loose Leaf Teas. I found them beautiful to look at in addition to flavorful and aromatic; much more than store bought, mass produced teabags. I became fascinated with all things having to do with tea as I visited local tea rooms with friends and family. I enjoyed the relaxing rituals of making tea and the history and customs that surround this amazing beverage.

For many years I was the only one bringing a thermos of tea to my classroom in the morning instead of the coffee that all of my teammates were carrying. It got me off to a much better start in my day. Being a school teacher, however, requires a vast amount of energy and I was for a long time drinking a soda in the afternoons to give me a lift, but as I got older, I realized that by substituting green or white tea for my usual soda helped me to feel better throughout the day and helped me to maintain my weight more easily.

When I finally decided to take my tea journey to the next level, I knew that I would have to begin officially educating myself on my favorite topic “Tea”. Through various courses, a great deal of reading and attendance at several World Tea Expos, I studied Tea Origins, Tea History, the various Processing Techniques, best brewing practices and health benefits. It was at the World Tea Expo that I met many Tea Growers and Distributors from around the world. I learned about how their teas are grown, where they come from and how they are processed. After tasting literally hundreds of teas and herbals and completing further research on various growers, I carefully chose the growers and distributors that would supply the teas and herbals for my company, Beleave Teas. In the end my choices were based on four important factors: freshness, variety, farming practices and quality.

In 2015 I received International Certification as a Tea Sommelier. This new expertise helps me to make informed Tea choices for my customers and allows me to provide more in depth Tea Presentations which are a huge part of my effort to educate customers and those new to the Tea World about Looseleaf  Teas and Herbals.

I truly want to sell teas that you can Beleave in. That is why they are packaged when ordered, not before, and each order is checked for freshness and quality before it is shipped. My business is based in Florida but we ship anywhere in the U.S. and always include carefully chosen free samples with each order.

As a former teacher, I have found that my education background has proven helpful in teaching people about tea and its ability to soothe, invigorate, relax,
