Jack Plotkin - Investing in People
Quick-Show Notes:
In this episode of The Millionaire’s Lawyer, JP and Jack Plotkin discuss:
How getting people to slow down and read something is so hard nowadays, it is a great accomplishment.
Qualities of a great leader:
- Look inward
- Identify their limitations
- Leaders are better asking for help in areas they are unsure of instead of thinking that they are the best at everything
Technology is a great place to start thinking of starting a business, it is ever growing and changing.
If you are starting a brick and mortar, make sure to have it around experience and food.
Wherever you see a problem, fix it and it could be a great opportunity.
Areas with Promise:
- AI
- Robotics
- Transportation
Jack Plotkin likes to invest in a start-up if:
- Proposition is clear
- Making a positive social impact
Investors are quick to dismiss because they are aware of the success rate, and are used to startups failing.
Need to give business owners a chance, not base it off of if they have multiple businesses or not.
Startups that are going to investors may be the best at 90% of their own business, but the other 10% is a hole that will need to be filled but someone who is better at that than them.
Due Diligence is super important; on the person, and on the business.
A good CEO knows when to ask for help, but also knows how to receive criticism, process the advice, and then take the appropriate action.
Sometimes you need to work with others to get your business to the next step
Core Value
- Core Values actually matter to the clientele
- Customer Service should be one of everyone's core values.
- Don't cut costs on what actually matters. If you're in the food industry, don't cut the cost once you get your clientele base; it will be noticed.
Be mindful that some investors may push you to cut costs to put more money in their own pockets.
Open communication between investors and the business owner is essential if something does not work let them know; but if they don't do anything to change the issues than the investor may leave.
A bad leader will put success in front of loyalty, but if you are able to separate the leader from the business, and give them an appropriate reward it will work out.
Startups are like a movie!
The better you are at your job, the more transparent things will be, and the easier things will go!
Best genre of movie to invest in is HORROR.
MAKE IT HAPPEN. See something holding you back? The world back? You have the power to do something and ask for help in the spots you are unsure of.

David Wood - Tough Conversations
Quick-Show Notes: In this episode of The Millionaire’s Lawyer, JP and David Wood discuss:
What is the benefit of being an actuary?
Dive deep within yourself to find out why you are heading towards those goals. Is it because you want to? Do you feel pressure? Are to striving for more respect?
Shiny Object Syndrome
Some people always want the next best thing; take the time to make what you already have the best it can be.
Don't focus on too many things at once
Multi-tasking is not always the best thing.
Set time aside for your self to focus, put on your Do Not Disturb, and get down what you aimed to get done.
Plan your day the night before; that way you don't have to spend time thinking of what to do you can just start.
Write down the two main things you would like to accomplish tomorrow and follow-through
Develop a habit of setting time aside for focusing on your tasks at hand.
Your mindset plays a factor in how you handle yourself and how you progress through your days
Nutrition should be on track, you would be surprised what eating junk will do you how you feel therefore causing your mindset to shift negatively
Wild Fit
- Group mentality
- Not lot of changes at once, it was a gentle process
- Allows you to people Self Control
- Note how you feel as a person once all the vises are cut out, and see what ones are worth having.
Create Digital content that way you can sell it as a product
Digital products allow you to reach out to further clientele
Ask your friends for their advice, they know you well and may be able to provide you with some perspective.
What would you do if you only had six months to live?
- How would you show up?
- Time would be spent doing what?
