Jim Muehlhausen, Founder of Half Retire, helps individuals maximize their business value via a strategy he calls Half Retirement. Jim noticed a trend of people reluctant to fully retire and sought to create a solution. Some business owners may lose their sense of identity if they are no longer at CEO status, and can tend to struggle to find ways to fill the day without the work they know and love. Meanwhile, some may simply struggle to sell the business for their magic number and remain in the business out of necessity.

In his interview, Jim describes what half retirement looks like in a practical sense, as well as what needs to happen in order to successfully half retire. He discusses the benefits of being able to drive up the value of your business while working less hours, and ultimately not losing money to transactional sales tax. Jim shares ways to design work away and be responsible for only the unique areas in which you cannot be replaced. He also discusses his upcoming book, also called “Half Retire,” which dives deeper into the concepts he’s outlined. If you desire to maintain a successful company and income while working less, Jim’s interview is definitely for you.

Rod Hatley of Chhokar Law Group P.C. discusses concepts related to Asset Protection and Wealth Preservation. We add new content daily! Listen on iTunes: iTunes.ExitcoachRadio.com .  

Transcript: 

Bill: There's been a lot of talk lately about different types asset protection strategies, especially from business owners who are going from a complicated business asset to liquid. Here's Rod Hatley. 

Rod: Unfortunately, there are people out there who prey on the unsophisticated, and they will talk to you about going offshore, hiding assets, and evading taxes. And, unfortunately, that does happen, but I'm here to tell you, a change in the law some years ago, we can achieve a similar level of protection domestically. We've found that it makes a lot more sense to keep a client domestically, if they'd like to stay. Let me say it this way: asset protection, if it's done legally and ethically, it's not about hiding anything, it's about simply structuring the owner of the asset so that they're safeguarded from risk, nothing more, nothing less. And we can help clients avoid taxes, but we can't help them evade.
