Yesterday I had a phone conversation with a friend of mine, Mike, who also was a former employee at a company I sold a few years ago. It had been awhile since we last talked so it was good to catch up. Mike worked for me for several years after I bought his company and [...]

Over the past week I have spoken to a few existing and potential clients who still seem reluctant to ‘pull the trigger’ on completing their own asset protection plan.

Reading the headlines over the past two weeks was like riding a roller coaster with no seatbelt – exciting to say the least. We read about the turmoil in Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Libya and pretty much the rest of the Middle East. In about one week we have seen oil spike from $83 per barrel [...]

Detroit – Beyond Thunderdome

January 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment
