The Practical Wealth Show

This Episode is special. I'm with Jessica Fialkovich, a Business Exit Expert, a bestselling author, speaker, and small business advocate. She sold her first business a decade ago and successfully exited it before buying her next business - a business brokerage office. She has since built the fastest-growing and most successful business brokerage firm in the US.  Jessica realized that most business owners who decide to sell their businesses are not prepared for the process, and few experts teach how to sell a business. She founded Exit Factor, an education firm that provides tools to buyers and sellers for successfully and profitably completing transactions.  She is an entrepreneur who has built and sold four startups with her husband and business partner, Al. Jessica enjoys exploring the mountains with her family and attending as many Springsteen shows as possible.

In this episode, I'm with my good friend Robyn Smith Haynes. Robyn is a single mom of two beautiful girls who decided about five years ago to walk away from her marriage. She knew how to do taxes. She had been doing it for her friends. A few years ago, she got certified, and then came the pandemic. So with that, it was like word of mouth got around and everybody's like, well, if you can't go to the place where you normally get your taxes done, Robin can do your taxes for you. She has two Bachelor of Science degrees in Information Technology. She is a network analyst for a county government in the IT department, and her small business is growing! It has shown me and a lot of my clients, who mostly are small business owners or they have some type of side hustle or gig work that they do, that it is possible to do your taxes properly and pay as less as possible because her philosophy is let's zero out your tax debt and maximize your refund. And as per her, everybody doesn't get a refund. Everybody's situation's different. But to the best of our ability, you gotta make sure that you get what's due.

In this recent episode, I sat down with Jacob Vanderslice. I discussed his journey in the real estate state world and how they expand the self-storage business that is downside-protected, recession-resistant, and durable recurring revenue streams. He also mentioned the three ways to invest in the self-storage asset class. The diverse background of VanWest’s principle allows the company to look at investments outside the traditional, single-focus strategy of many companies. Uncovering value when it is not obvious allows Jacob and his team to maximize investment performance to their stakeholders. Jacob is passionate about educating investors about self-storage, urban infill repositioning, redevelopment of distressed commercial assets, and other non-traditional investment opportunities. He focuses on investments driven by data and reveals and maximizes opportunities to make a positive and lasting impact in the lives of his clients and investors.
