    Jim Immel, Founder of Immel and Associates, Inc. explains how Clarity is critical before implementing plans and being clear about your questions is key. 
    Transcript: 
    Jim: One of the things to realize is, that when we're helping these individuals, they could be asking the wrong questions. And, I just think that a lot of times what I see is that things move too fast, that we actually ask the business owner what they want, and we actually believe the answer that they give us. And, one of the realities is, they may tell you the answer to that, but they may have started down the wrong path by asking the wrong question upfront, and now they're starting to run down a pathway that might cause either themselves, from a tax stand point, or the employee standpoint, or even from a customer standpoint, it might cause some strife. And so to just really go slow upfront, the tagline I have is clarity, confidence, courage, really invest time on the clarity standpoint upfront, making sure that you ask the questions to get them to look at things a little bit different than maybe where they are. Find people willing to be challenged, the people that are willing to be challenged are also more likely to go through change.

    Michael: The last time we talked, I believe it was the middle of June of 2014, and at that time we had discussed the AB 1103 mandate was for buildings that were 10,000 square feet, both commercial and industrial parks, up to 10,000 square feet and above. And now, it's been mandated that buildings of 5,000 square feet and above is now the benchmark to where this new law comes into play. So, it does incorporate a lot more of the buildings than previous.

  • Ricci Victorio - How to Bring Family Into Your Business
    Here's a 1 1/2  minute preview of Ricci Victorio. Give it a listen and share it with your friends, and if you like the content be sure and listen to the full 20 minute interview!
    Transcript: 
    Bill: How do you deal with the issues of bringing family members into your family business? Here's expert Ricci Victorio. 
    Ricci: I love being brought in when a family has a business that they care about and they've got kids who are in high school or college. Maybe they've worked there in their summers in between school breaks, but the kids are getting ready to step into their careers or start preparing for them. An ideal way to bring family members into a business is, they grow up with it so they understand your values and they see your work ethic and they understand why this business is important to you. So what I like to do is, we set up a family member employment policy, and it doesn't matter what age your kids are, they could be very young, and they can also be into their 20s and 30s, but the earlier you start so kids grow up knowing the employment says, if I want to work at this businesses, I need to have X, Y, and Z experience and education and skill sets. If I want to own it or run it, that might be a higher bar that's says, well you're gonna need an MBA because the world is different now. To run this business now, it's 3 times the size it was when it was mom and dad and we did it in a garage. So, recognizing entry requirements to run a business are changing and evolving. So, setting a family member employment policy creates a standard that all the kids or all family members understand, this is what's required, and that may thin out some family members who don't have an interest.
