Quotes

”If you understand what good looks like, you can hire the right people because you know what you’re trying to get to.” - Ryan

“If someone responds in a defensive way, you know they’re probably wrong or they don’t know how to be wrong--which is a problem regardless.” - Ryan

“The goal is now--before you pull the ripcord (years before!)--start building your team around you so you can optimize your plan.” - Ryan

Takeaway:

If you understand what you want and what you’re trying to sell for, you can watch out and look for the right tax attorney for you. You don’t have to be an expert in all the different strategies (from legal to taxes). Your main goal, as an owner, is to hire the right people and get people next to you, who are the smartest in their field, who don’t have big egos, and that know how to collaborate. And if they don’t know an answer to a question, they’re going to collaborate with all of the other designations and they’re going to go find the different ways that they can go optimize your plan for you.
