Show Notes [01:40] Today we learn how to become a millionaire. [01:41] Money starts the day you walk onto the planet and stops the day you walk off. The problem is many of us aren't taught about money. [03:25] So what? Now what? Most people don't talk about money. [03:51] Wealthy people have very open conversations about money and share information and team members. [04:06] Today's podcast is a recording of a webinar that actually does a money makeover. [04:30] Loral grew up in Nebraska and earned a finance business degree. She tried working in a bank and then got a Masters degree in exercise physiology. [05:00] She then became a health consultant. [05:09] Being hired by Chevron was one of her aha moments, and Loral wrote a book about it. At Chevron, she helped build fitness centers on offshore oil rigs. [05:58] She then worked at the corporate headquarters in San Francisco. She traveled all over the world building corporate fitness centers. [06:09] In 1996, she dropped everything to promote Robert Kiyosaki's cashflow game. [06:53] After Rich Dad Poor Dad, Loral started her first company Live Out Loud. [06:57] She has been Shark Tanking businesses since 1999. [07:37] Being part of a community and being able to talk to anybody you want about money is so important. [07:56] Loral has had real estate companies, gas and oil companies, and she's currently heavy into the cannabis world. [08:35] In 1933, the banking system was formed. Seven of the wealthiest families in the world collaborated on how to build an economy. [09:07] Loral is a huge fan of getting off of Wall Street. [10:54] The system is designed so the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. [11:13] We have to deal with money anyway, why not learn to do it right? [12:11] Teaching people to get jobs creates a lot of employees. [13:07] As you get wealthier, we teach you how to save on taxes and only pay yourself what you need. [14:21] Relying on others to pay you is risky. Debt is a way to leverage your money to become a millionaire. [18:44] When you have a business, there are so many ways to write things off. Living your life inside corporate life. [20:35] You need to understand how to live this lifestyle and how to teach your kids to live it. [21:22] Debt is just the cost of money. [22:03] You have to get out of sole proprietor land and get committed. [22:24] Scott Arden with Controllers, Ltd. is here to talk about entities. [22:33] Scott is an entity and tax and compliance expert. [23:39] Scott has been in the asset planning and protection industry for 22 years. [23:55] He worked for one of the top asset protection firms and now has his own company. [24:03] There is a huge breakdown between people's entities and their tax side. [24:25] Scott and his partner bridge that gap. [25:25] LLCs are the most widely used entity. They can be taxed with four different methods. It is the most flexible method. [26:50] S Corp is an election to allow profit and losses to pass through. [27:19] Limited partnerships are great for estate planning and asset protections. [27:44] Trusts like revocable trusts are great for passing assets. Irrevocable trust grants assets to beneficiaries. [30:00] The tax code is now written more for corporate owners. [31:03] Using a C Corp structure, you can have a flat tax rate of 21% regardless of how much you make. [32:19] The biggest deduction is qualified business income. We are allowed to take a 20% deduction right off the top. [33:12] Service based individuals are not afforded this deduction, so there are different strategies that need to be deployed. [33:59] There are no more meal and entertainment deductions. Trusts have changed. [36:13] Have a team support you to live your life like a business. [37:29] We can look at your tax information and generate a custom report that is specific to you. It will outline your deductions, and it is all backed up by the IRS publications. [40:27] Discover what you want and how you want to get there. This information is in my book The Millionaire Maker. [43:05] Loral shares the Money Makeover and asks when is your Freedom Day? [44:45] A gap analysis looks at where you are versus where you want and puts a plan together. [45:17] The Big Table is a mastermind for you and your family for the rest of your life.
