First and foremost, my role – my purpose – it to help you manufacture more Net Profit in your business.

I Believe

·         Every person has the right to EARN the life they want to live.

·         Your Business/Job is a tool to help you ACHIEVE that life you want to live.

·         Your business needs to be PREDICTABLY PROFITABLE and SCALABLE.

 

Having this kind of business will ensure you have both the Time and Resources to Live the Life you want.  Otherwise, a Business Owner just owns a Stressful Job!

 

1.       You should make what you would pay someone to replace you.

2.       In addition to that you should make a Net Profit.  We suggest a healthy business makes 10%

If you aren’t making at least 10%, then you just own a stressful job!

 

I look forward to speaking with you about how we will make this happen for you.  How?

 

I use the Forzani Business Solutions Program ©

This program is developed from the Extensive Business & Life Experiences (Successes & Failures) of Leaders, Entrepreneurs & Business Owners. This is a Business Advisory program that Ensures Success.

 

Learn how to build a predictably profitable business through manufacturing more net profit than the business makes today.  Increasing a Business’s Net Profit % for a healthier, more valuable Business (Asset), While also Increasing Net Profit $ along the way.  I do this through simultaneously:

·         Increasing Revenue $         ·         Decreasing COGS %          ·         Decreasing Operating Expense %

 

A Predictably Profitable Business is designed to be resilient to:

·         Weather         ·         Industry changes        ·         Economic changes 

 

Learn the importance of building a Scalable Business:  Why?

A Scalable Business isn’t reliant on any particular individual. This allows the business to succeed when a new person takes over the role. That person still needs to be trained to be good at what they do.

A Scalable Business allows a new ownership or management team to succeed when they take over. Therefore, making your Business (Asset) worth more.  A Scalable Business is more likely to sell because the buyer is more likely to succeed.

Tax Free Alternate Wealth Management Programs to Create and Maximize Your Retirement Income

 

John has been working in the field of tax-free exits since January of 2000 throughout Canada and into the USA. John works exclusively with private business owners in search of tax-free exits of capital strategies. He is principal and Senior Analyst at MacDonald MGMT partnering with major banks and insurance companies to provide these tax-free strategies. Strategies that will be pre-approved by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). 

 

John understands high net worth individuals face unique challenges. With Astra’s SuperMax and MiniMax programs, he shows you great opportunities and how to protect your equity. Using tax-exempt insurance as a core strategy, you’ll learn effective ways to build and protect your wealth. Two things are crucial to his approach:

1.       Making sure clients understand each potential solution.

2.       Keeping the value accumulated in a business or portfolio in the hands of the people who created it.

 

John has been previously engaged by two Canadian chartered banking institutions for analysis and consult of private company financial results and strategies. As well, he has been engaged by Canadian banks to assess potential fraud of Client Companies.

 

John developed a “Capital Analysis Review©” financial tool that not only shows Business Owners the why, but also the solutions behind becoming liquid, and exiting their companies tax-free. This has opened up some eyes in the privately held business world both here in Canada and the United States.

 

John has been invited to use his analysis tools by two of Canada’s major banks to validate their importance and role in operations with their own business owner clients.
