Can You Identify with Any of THESE 5 Case Studies?

Wow has this past week been amazing! There are lots of exciting things happening and I wanted to share with you just a few of the events from this past week. Specifically, pay attention to how the value profiles apply to so many different areas of business and life.

1. Spent time reviewing the profile of one of the top business consultants in the Unites States. This individual is extremely successful, in high demand of Fortune 500 companies, authored an excellent book available at Barnes and Nobles, and is trying to 'juggle a lot of balls in the air' right now. With the Life Profile, we were able to quickly identify how to more efficiently handle all of the 'irons in the fire' and not have them feel like a doormat!
   


2. Worked with a potential high draft pick in the upcoming MLB player draft. After having him take the Sports Profile, I worked with his current coach and revealed to him the best way to help this player improve parts of his swing. Now the coach knows how to get the most out of this player and best help him prepare for the Big Leagues!
   


3. Spent time with the owner of multiple high-end restaurants discussing staffing issues and job selection and hiring. He doesn't want to waste any more money on putting staff through training only to have to let them go. The Hospitality Profile can help him dramatically improve his employee selection process.


4. Reviewed a Golf Profile with one of the top LPGA Players on tour. The profile revealed exactly why she is currently playing so well. Particularly where she is giving most of her attention to in her decision making on the course.
   
5. A personal trainer (and good friend) asked to have one of his new clients take the Fitness Profile. He is designing a training program for his client to follow three days per week on his own. The profile quickly revealed that his client is most likely not going to be compliant and actually complete the training program on his own.
   

These are just five examples of many applications and uses of the various targeted profiles. If you have any specific questions regarding the application of any of these profiles please don't hesitate to contact me at support@innertactics.com.

Investment vs Expense

I just got back from spending the majority of the day with a very close friend of mine who also happens to be one of the top financial investment leaders in the country (www.smarttaxmoves.com).

Right now his desk is stacked to the ceiling with corporate tax files which got me thinking... the P&L statements of these companies list their employees as an expense and not an investment! However, it is the people that determine the success of a company.

How do you view your P&L Statement? Do you view your team as an expense or as an investment? If your like me, the answer is BOTH!

Build Your Team- Part 1

In the Everyday Champion Steps to Succes model, I talk about how important it is to build your own team. Having the right people in your corner to support you and provide advice and feedback is critical for your success.

In part 1 of 'Build Your Team' we will take a look at your financial teammates. Your team should include a creative CPA, an expert investment advisor, an insurance professional for risk management, and attorney’s. No I do not mean having a slick CPA help with your taxes at the end of the year, but a team of experts who take a proactive approach to your business and personal life.

We all want to make more money. However, instead of adding more work hours in our day to do so, doesn't it make more sense to first figure out how to keep more of what you are already making?

A client of mine just recently discovered that they can put almost six figures back in their pocket each year without even having to add any additional income! How? It ultimately all comes down to the business structure that is right for you. Taking the time to assemble a talented team like this can be very time consuming and expensive, but, I have a solution! I have a team available to work with you on your unique plan to hit your financial suite spot.

Another important area that individual's tend to take for granted is their investment portfolio. In other words, what strategies and methods are you using to make your money work for you. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, 401K's, etc. are all important to be aware of. However, wouldn't it be mentally comforting if you knew that your hard earned money would not be lost if the stock market were to suddenly crash? Or another terrorist attack shut down the markets? Or if more Enron’s were discovered?

You can invest in the markets with protection from all these events. Have you ever thought about getting insurance on your portfolio to protect you from losses? You have insurance on your car and home, so why not on your largest asset?

So as you can see, you will give yourself the winning edge by including a financial team on your side. The team I put together for myself and all of my professional clients is headed by Dan Venegoni. You can find out more about Dan and his team at www.SmartTaxMoves.com.

While many of you right now are thinking "I already have a guy who does that stuff for me", TRUST ME and do yourself a favor by at least contacting Dan. You will not regret it!

The bottom line is that building your financial team (whoever that may be) is a HUGE factor in your success! In part 2 of this series I will discuss how to build the rest of your team to help you become an Everday Champion!
