Fade In Financial

It was such an honor (and career goal!) to be a guest on one of my favorite podcasts. XYPN has been an invaluable resource for me as I have changed careers. Their podcast was one of the biggest reasons why I had the confidence to start my own firm. Today, it came full circle as I was a guest on Behind The Advisor podcast and got to share my story.
Here's what they said:
"What does it actually look like to start over… with no safety net?

In this new episode of Behind The Advisor, Alan Moore sat down with Greg Vojtanek, CFP® to talk about what it really takes to reinvent your career.

He had no clients, no backstop. Just a plan and an 18–24 month runway
But by month 15, he stopped pulling from savings.

Today, he runs a firm built for creatives in the entertainment industry, because he used to be one.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can actually pull this off… this one’s for you"

(1:50 video) For those with their own Loan-out Company, LLC, or SCorp, the issue of paying yourself comes up a lot. To simplify the process of paying yourself, I have seen most clients run payroll once per quarter. But you don't have to cut yourself a paycheck. You can just transfer money from one bank account to another.

Why is investing so difficult? First of all, it doesn't have to be. Second, even though there are enough numbers and data to make your head spin, those are not the things you should focus on. Instead, focus on THIS part, and you may become a much better investor.

BLOG: HERE'S WHY YOU DON'T NEED A BUSINESS MANAGER
