Rob Black and I don’t depend on big name companies for a retirement plan; we created our own businesses and did it for ourselves. Most people don’t know business owners need to make 25-30% more money just to break even when transitioning from owner to employee. They often end up doing double the work without receiving double the pay because they failed to have a business plan in place. Other topics include:

• Personal disability insurance and overhead disability insurance –which can you write off?
• Succession plans
• Owning a diversified portfolio not related to your industry
• Investment mistakes –putting away money pretax, creating liquidity and funding the correct retirement plan
• Investing tax efficiently
• Insurance agents who pitch investment plans
• Obligations HR must enforce
