About

Entrepreneur organizations fascinate me. The people who start & scale these organizations have a unique skill of problem-solving & leadership. The complexity that entrepreneur organizations face is daunting. Every decision we make has an impact on our finances. Then longer-range tax, legal & estate impacts creep up to be significant problems if left unchecked. My business is to simplify all of that. My job is to build a strong relationship with Entrepreneurs & their families to help navigate the complexity, invite teamwork with their professional advisors and create a framework for decision making that builds significant wealth with less drama. My core values are: Relationships First. Clarity of Process. Always Being up for the Challenge. Lifelong Learning. Change when the Facts Change. I serve over 200 Entrepreneur Organizations and their families. My firm, ProsperiFi, a Registered Investment Adviser, also supports financial advisors with their day-to-day operations so they can focus on deepening client relationships and delivering best in class financial advice. If you want to experience share journeys, give me a call. I’m always game for hearing stories from the trenches.

A successful business sale takes careful planning and preparation, so make sure you're ready before you start negotiations. For many entrepreneurs, selling the company they built from the ground up is a lucrative opportunity that will set them up for retirement or their next business venture. However, a successful sale is not as simple as finding a buyer and signing some paperwork. There's a lot of preparation and planning that goes into an acquisition, and any founder who wants to sell their company must be ready for that process. Below, a group of entrepreneurs shared eight best practices founders should follow when they're looking to sell their business. Follow their recommendations to ensure a smooth transition into the next phase of your career journey.

If you're looking for business advice, there are a lot of different places you could go. There are countless books and seminars that promise you success with your business, but many of them are built on the achievements of their creators. No two entrepreneurs or businesses are precisely the same, and because of this, their advice may not apply or resonate with you. Yet, some advice is universally valid, no matter the industry, area of focus or target audience. Here, nine leaders from Young Entrepreneur Council talk about some of the best advice they've encountered throughout all their years as entrepreneurs and explain why any business founder could act on these tips to achieve success.

Like a well-oiled machine, businesses can only function if all elements of the company are in sync and working toward shared goals. Getting each department, team and employee on the same page, however, requires a certain level of transparency. Yet, so many entrepreneurs miss this vital detail when it comes to managing their business. Implementing greater transparency doesn’t have to be difficult, but it might not always be clear where to start. To offer some advice, eight leaders from Young Entrepreneur Council discuss how they intend to increase transparency in their businesses this year, and include advice for how other entrepreneurs can do the same.
