Ep. 66 Are you stacking a few Benjamins?

Joe Saul Sehy is the host of Stacking Benjamins, a popular personal finance podcast on which he has interviewed everyone from Jean Chatzky to David Bach.

Sehy’s journey to becoming a podcasting sensation was a little unusual: he started as a financial advisor, building a firm with $65 million in assets under management. Then, on his 40th birthday, Sehy received a letter from a friend which was the trigger that made him want to sell his business. His friend’s letter became a catalyst for him to switch careers and become a professional podcaster. In this episode of Built to Sell Radio, Sehy describes the sale of his financial planning practice and you’ll learn:

• How to use employee systems to “you-proof” your business.
• How to hire people inclined to follow systems (rather than renegades who want to re-invent your business).
• How to sell a franchise.
• The one thing Sehy wished he had done, which he estimates could have boosted the value of his business by 15–25%.
• What to do with your money after you sell your business.
• Why the 4% rule of investing may be too conservative for most entrepreneurs.
