Finding Financial Happiness as a Couple, with Anthony Chen, Host of Family Business Radio

Finding Financial Happiness as a Couple, with Anthony Chen, Host of Family Business Radio

In this commentary from a recent Family Business Radio episode, host Anthony Chen underscores that beyond monetary concerns, understanding what constitutes happiness for couples is crucial.

Anthony’s commentary was taken from this episode of Family Business Radio. Family Business Radio is underwritten by Anthony Chen with Lighthouse Financial Network.

Transcript

Now it was closing out the show as a kind of our regular listeners, a segment called Anthony’s Financial Take, as you all hear of setting boundaries, having communication in a family business being the key hallmark of being able to have a successful or a little contentious working relationship.

Not so much different in the financial world, especially as I’m working with families. The conversation or attention sometimes comes around, especially when money subject matters coming to mind. The biggest question isn’t so much what is the dollar amount? What is not just only the monthly budget or what is the retirement number look like?

But more so, what is happiness for us as a couple? And for our listeners my question revolves around a lot of purpose and kind of drawing back to the origin of the story. What got us together? And let’s not forget that. So that when we do chart a course, whether it’s for retirement planning or succession planning for the family business, we can always go back to that North Star, and that’s a little bit closing out from Anthony here.

Thank you for listening in to Family Business Radio.

One Essential Question for Your Advisor, with Anthony Chen, Host of Family Business Radio

One Essential Question for Your Advisor, with Anthony Chen, Host of Family Business Radio

In this commentary from a recent Family Business Radio episode, host Anthony Chen shares one essential question you need to ask of any advisor you’re considering working with.

Anthony’s commentary was taken from this episode of Family Business Radio. Family Business Radio is underwritten by Anthony Chen with Lighthouse Financial Network.

Transcript

Now, as we are closing out the show, we have what’s called Anthony’s financial take. And taking some perspective and insights from our recent guest here, Bob, with the question of how to best find the right advisor, what’s the question to ask for me? My go-to question or recommendation is ask them what would need to happen at the five- and ten-year mark for you to be able to look back and say, this was a good decision for us to decide to work with you.

If they don’t ask a similar question, well, what does the endpoint look like? What does success look like? It is almost impossible for any advisor, doesn’t matter if it’s financial planning, CPA or whoever, to create any plans. It’s almost like going to an architect and saying, hey, design me a house.

expecting the architect to come with a blueprint and not even know what a square footage is or how many bedrooms or bathrooms there are. So if that’s the case and there’s, Oh yeah, I’m going to design a plan. And, and they even asked the most basic questions; second to what Bob said, you probably should run. That being said, thank you for listening in to Family Business Radio.

Exit Teams: Build a Team of Advisors for Your Business Sale to Get a Higher Price

You’ve got one shot to sell your business right!

The American Dream fulfilled! You are a business owner, and it’s time to cash in on the sale of your business. Except the buyers on the other side of the table are prepared with a team of experts ready to lower your price.

Enter Exit Teams. This book won’t give you tactics that don’t pertain to your situation, and it won’t promise you beach chairs and Caribbean sunsets. This book will tell you the truth, letting you know the psychological dangers that play into a business sale, and how buyers can use that psychology to acquire your business for far less than you, the owner, could have made.

Follow along with Dave, the owner of FineLine Manufacturing, who received notice of a health scare, forcing him to think about selling before he’s ready. Dave makes many of the typical business seller moves, getting advice from seemingly logical but misaligned resources. Pressures mount from his employees, his customers, his friends, and his family as he juggles a business sale while maintaining secrecy.

When Dave finally gets an offer, it’s for far less than he had hoped. This sends Dave on a whirlwind of choices that pull him in many directions. Will Dave learn the lessons required to give him the best chance at business sale success before he loses his largest customer?

Exit Teams will:

  • Alert you to the emotional roller coaster that arises during a business sale.
  • Educate you to the common pitfalls business owners fall into, often of their own making.
  • Explain what an Exit Team is, and why they are necessary for the ultimate business sale success.
  • Warn you of some of the strategies buyers employ to pressure business sellers to lower their price.
  • Caution you about lifting expectations according to a colleague’s experience (hint: it may not be all he says it is).
  • Counsel you on how to handle family dynamics during a business sale.
  • Present you with common decisions made by inexperienced business sellers so you won’t make the same choices.
  • Display the challenge of secrecy among employees and customers.
  • Address health challenges and how they often impact the business owner while trying to sell.
  • Stress the need to understand your company’s value on an ongoing basis.
  • Provide you with a business selling experience without your having to learn the hard way from real life at the cost of millions of dollars

The Best Advice I Ever Received, with Anthony Chen, Host of Family Business Radio

The Best Advice I Ever Received, with Anthony Chen, Host of Family Business Radio

In this commentary from a recent Family Business Radio episode, host Anthony Chen shares the best advice he ever received.

Anthony’s commentary was taken from this episode of Family Business Radio. Family Business Radio is underwritten by Anthony Chen with Lighthouse Financial Network.

Transcript

The most thankful advice I ever received from my mentor was “Anthony, people don’t make rational decisions. They make emotional decisions and then rationalize it.” And for those who know me, I know I’ve run my life in a very “Spock-like” manner where, Oh, what do you mean?

Everybody makes rational decisions. Yeah. Okay. That that, that took two to three years of him beating that into my head for it to finally sink through in terms of really advice to pass forward to piggyback off of our two guests and especially what just happened in the pre-recording is there is a calendar and spreadsheet of a life.

And then there’s life and for those who know me being the anal retentive control freak now that I have an almost seven-month-old that the idea of control is just fantasy. So for those of you listening in this I’ll end the show with this, if you think you can control life of on just a calendar and spreadsheet this is again, hearkening back to my mentor, Daryl, spoken like a true bachelor who doesn’t have a family yet.

And I did not realize that until I have my own family. Thank you for listening in to Family Business Radio.

Meaning Behind the Dollars, with Anthony Chen, Host of Family Business Radio

Meaning Behind the Dollars, with Anthony Chen, Host of Family Business Radio

In this commentary from a recent Family Business Radio episode, host Anthony Chen discusses the meaning behind the dollars.

Anthony’s commentary was taken from this episode of Family Business Radio. Family Business Radio is underwritten by Anthony Chen with Lighthouse Financial Network.

Transcript

Anthony Chen: So to close out for a little section called the Anthony’s Financial Take, as you’re all listening in to our three amazing guests of leaning into family and relationships. Starting out early and leaning into what gives your hands blisters, whether that’s a hobby or whatever it is that you’re willing to pour your life and soul into, I don’t think, at least on the financial side of things, I can really top any of that other than as you’re going through your own financial plan and journey. Keep those three things in mind because, at the end of the day, something I might sound like a preacher for some of my clients that know me already is that you can’t take it with you. You just can’t.

You’ve got to make sure that there is meaning behind those dollars. And at the end of the day, if you can spend every penny, but you have an amazing memory and experience that you can get to share with your friends and family, it’s hard to top that. That should be the number one goal.

And that being said, for listening in to Family Business Radio.
