Book Description
THEY’VE GOT IT ALL WORKED OUT—OR DO THEY? It seems logical that successful entrepreneurs must have optimized finances. They’ve got the nice house and the boat and the tropical vacation; they must know what they are doing and have the best experts watching out for their interests. Unfortunately, despite their success in business, their finances are often a mess. As a Certified Financial Planner, Bruce Frankel has seen it all. In his new book, he details the 7 biggest mistakes he’s seen from his clients—successful owners, shareholders, and executives of closely held small to medium-sized businesses—over the years: • Choosing the wrong advisor team • Inappropriate entity choice and structuring • A shortsighted tax strategy • Failing to create a business continuity plan • Inadequate protection from wealth predators • Following the conventional “wisdom” of Wall Street • Failing to plan for a business transition Frankel explains how, through strategic financial planning and with a team of trusted and collaborative experts, entrepreneurs can protect and grow their wealth for their legacy. After they have transitioned from the business, the company will continue to thrive, and they can ensure that their family—and their community—are properly cared for.

Book Description
Protect and grow your finances with help from this definitive and practical guide to behavioral economics—revised and updated to reflect new economic realities. In their fascinating investigation of the ways we handle money, Gary Belsky and Thomas Gilovich reveal the psychological forces—the patterns of thinking and decision making—behind seemingly irrational behavior. They explain why so many otherwise savvy people make foolish financial choices: why investors are too quick to sell winning stocks and too slow to sell losing shares, why home sellers leave money on the table and home buyers don’t get the biggest bang for their buck, why borrowers pay too much credit card interest and savers can’t sock away as much as they’d like, and why so many of us can’t control our spending. Focusing on the decisions we make every day, Belsky and Gilovich provide invaluable guidance for avoiding the financial faux pas that can cost thousands of dollars each year. Filled with fresh insight; practical advice; and lively, illustrative anecdotes, this book gives you the tools you need to harness the powerful science of behavioral economics in any financial environment.

Book Description
Entrepreneur and author Harry Clark's look at millionaires' financial ups and downs is a pleasure to read, and his candid recollections and advice are fascinating, even when given anonymously. They highlight a neglected subject: experiencing business failure. Stories of success are easy to come by, but Clark's treatment of mistakes proves far more compelling and informative. Some of the stories and experiences recount the 2008 crisis, and some relate to the real estate bust that pulled down many millionaires. Clark's presentation of the habitual nature of entrepreneurs and their weaknesses provides a tableau of memorable advice. You'll hear echoes of the old saying, "A lesson bought is a lesson taught." While never giving financial advice, getAbstract recommends these tales of learning the hard way to entrepreneurs, investors and students.

Book Description
"The case for investing in your own career before anything else Michael Ellsberg and Bryan Franklin think you've been fed a lie: that if you save for decades and invest in 401(k)s, IRAs, and a home, these investments will grow steadily over decades, allowing twenty to thirty years of secure, peaceful retirement. This might have been true at some point in the last century, but it is not true any longer. If you want to get ahead and enjoy a life of prosperity, the authors argue that you must invest in the most powerful source of wealth you'll ever know: your own earning power. Ellsberg and Franklin reveal how investing in yourself in various ways can guarantee a return much higher than the stock market or real estate. Boosting your skills, leadership, persuasion ability, and your network enriches the quality and meaning of your life at the same time that it enriches your wallet. Why wouldn't you bet on yourself?"--
