The right pricing strategy can attract your ICA and drive your business Buuut, striking the perfect balance between competitiveness and profitability requires a strategic approach.

So ditch that whiteboard, grab your P&L’s and let’s get to it, this is the Fit Wealth Show!

    Understanding your costs, you can’t figure out where to go, if you don’t know where you are...meaning you can aim for what other similar online business owners are doing, but we assume you are unique in what you offer and who you offer it to, so let’s start with the cost of doing business:

    • Fixed Costs: These are expenses that do not change with the level of production or marketing, rent, salaries, and insurance.
    • Variable Costs: These costs vary directly with the level of production or sales, such as merchants, fulfillment of services, and raw materials
    • Break-even Point: The break-even point is where total revenue equals total costs, resulting in neither profit nor loss. Understanding this point helps in setting a baseline for your pricing strategy.

    Using your financial statements to help you decide, vs. A whiteboard

  • 63. Infinite Banking Explained, Why it's Talked About During a Down Market
    Jul 16 2024

    Welcome to The Fit Wealth Show. During uncertain times, financial strategies that emphasize stability and long-term gain often get increased attention. Life insurance banking for example, often associated with the Rockefeller family is one of these strategies frequently marketed by “wealth guru’s” everywhere, but is this strategy what they say it is? In this episode of the Fit Wealth Show, we’re talking about what life insurance banking really is and when it might be or may not be relevant for the business owner. This is the Fit Wealth Show!

    Because Insurance is such a big part of the financial planning process, I wanted to bring up this popular topic in the life insurance sales world, with it being an election year, it can spark volatility, which then also sparks this big topic of “what the Rockefeller's did” to create generational wealth, aside from being the richest family in America in the first place.

    • What is Infinite Banking or Life Insurance Banking?
    • Why life insurance banking is so popular during a down market?
    • How the Rockefeller Family Uses this concept
    • Why is there a divide between a financial planner and life insurance agent?
    • How does life insurance banking impact one's overall financial forecast?
    • When should a business owner ever consider life insurance?
