When I first owned my own business I would have financial planners, and advisors come to me soliciting for my business. I would just roll my eyes thinking, I can balance a checkbook, I know how to add and subtract, heck I’ve built a fairly successful business, what the heck do I need one of these clowns for? Well life is funny at times, isn’t it? Now that I’m in the exact same business I scoffed at, I wished I could go back and talk to myself then.
I wished I could have told myself somethings about financial planning that would have put me in a lot better position financial for the downturn in the market. I wished I could have made out a list of essential tools and strategies to adhere to. If I could have spoke to myself 10 years ago, within this podcast is what I would say.

Rae is a colleague of mine and has really done an outstanding job helping her clients win at the financial game. As I opened Dollars and Sense up to do more interviews I wanted to have her on as my first guest. She is a trusted insurance broker, counselor, and I think has a lot to offer people who want to “win at the financial game”. You can get more info on Rae at her site. www.financialcoach4u.net
Rae became appointed with us several months ago and uses our lead generation software which helps agents contact, qualify, and get in front of more clients. If you would like to see that system go to leadsbyterry.com
From 1994 until 2008 I was in a traditional business model. I went to work at a brick and mortar location, had an office, a staff, had a traditional business. Then the recession hit. Needless to say it changed my business, along with many others who were in the same industry. My top selling product and service was directly tied to the new housing market. In particular it was tied to the upper end of the residential real estate market. No one has to be a historian to understand what that time period did to our industry, and several other ancillary industries tied to it. The effect was profound, and the recovery has been slow. However the new business model that was developed as a result of the downturn is more lean, more efficient, and much more nimble to ongoing changes. During the transition from my old business, to the current one cash flow, income, and survival was a constant, day to day challenge. As a result several business opportunities, work from home jobs, and businesses were tried. Some worked, many failed, but as a result of trying many I’ve developed a do and don’t do list of work from home jobs. If you are needing to earn extra income, here some ideas.
Here is a work from home kit you may want to check out.

When speaking with some of these scum bags remember to keep calm, don’t be intimidated, and learn your rights. In an episode of Dollars and Sense I go over how you can:
