Jason Rotman: Financial Advisor

I was talking with my 8 year old son last night, and he engaged me in a game that went something like this:

"Dad, what is 1,000 times 10?" Then, I said: 10,000.

Then he said, what is "10,000 times 10"? I said: 100,000.

And so on...until I couldn't say the answer anymore without looking it up! I got up to the nonillions! I couldn't immediately recall what comes after nonillion.

Not only was it an incredibly fun game to play with him, especially getting past the sextillions (added some extra fun for him to hear me say sextillion), but it also truly re-oriented my perspective of a couple things:

1) This may be a typical financial advisor-type conclusion (which makes sense because I am a financial advisor), but it really did make me think about how inflation has affected what we all think is a "big" number. 1,000,000 is certainly not what it used to be! Will we be saying the same thing about 1 nonillion anytime in the future? Sounds crazy to say now, but let's look at the trends.

And 2) Just from an abundance mentality perspective, thinking about numbers in the septillions and the nonillions just further stimulated my mind to think bigger along the lines of this idea: The only limits we have are the ones we place on ourselves.

To the nonillions and beyond!

Thanks for playing that game with me, Solomon.

And, if I had to choose between a nonillion dollars and spending time with you, I'd choose you.

Sugar high or sustainable move?

The rally in cocoa is one of the most extreme commodities moves I have seen in a while.

The intelligent use of debt is how many fortunes are created.

The unintelligent use of debt is how many fortunes are lost.

✍️ You have great revenues, but do you have a buy-sell agreement?

As you pursue growth strategies for your business, implementing risk management tools like buy-sell agreements is crucial, especially for closely held multi-owner companies.

A buy-sell agreement legally outlines terms for buying out an owner's interest upon events like death, disability or departure.

This safeguards ownership continuity, prevents external transfers, resolves valuation disputes, and provides a smooth transition process.

Funding the agreement via life insurance offers key advantages:

▶️ Immediate resources from policy proceeds to execute buyouts.

▶️ Non-taxed proceeds when structured properly.

▶️ Cost-efficiency compared to cash reserves or loans.

▶️ Predictable funding costs.

If you are a business owner, contact me to inquire.

One of the best provisions in the IRC...Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS).

Rolling proceeds from a QSBS sale into a new tax-advantaged asset? Makes a good thing even better.

Dear Friend,

In the pursuit of prosperity, many stakes are ventured - yet many fortunes squandered by failing to safeguard that which fuels the prosperous life.

Markets ebb and surge, company values inflate and deflate with the whims of economic tides.

But through this unrelenting churn, one resounding human constant endures: the yearning to provide sanctuary for those we love most dearly.
