Bulletproof Your Assets with Scott Royal Smith

Why do rich people continue to get richer? It's because they think differently and they know how to protect their assets while generating more wealth. The more you accumulate wealth, the more you need proper legal protection. Lawsuits can ruin your business and everything you've worked for. So it is important to have strategies to protect yourself before it's too late. In this episode, Russ and Joey interview an experienced Asset Protection Lawyer Scott Royal Smith, founder of Royal Legal Solutions. Scott talks about how asset protection prevents lawsuits from wiping out your assets. His company crafts customized asset protection plans, from before a case occurs to after a judgment has been concluded.

Before establishing Royal Legal Solutions, Scott Smith was an aggressive litigator. He uses a combination of his legal expertise, experience as an investor, and love of helping others grow and protect their businesses to build ironclad asset protection plans for his clients. Clients who employ Scott's strategies tend to stay out of court altogether. His primary expertise is in stopping lawsuits before they even start.

The History of the Infinite Banking Concept with R. Nelson Nash

Round Table | Why Are You Trying to Put All of Your Income Into a Life Insurance Policy?

If you had 500 million dollars in cash, where would you put it to get the highest return? You wouldn't want to put it in a savings account that earns very little interest, right? That was the dilemma of BILLIONAIRE Michael Saylor. He had a lot of cash, but he could not allow it just to sit around and wait for inflation to eat it up. In today's conversation, the coaches answer the question, “Why are you trying to put all of your income into a life insurance policy?” Going back to the idea behind the book “Becoming Your Own Banker” by Nelson Nash, one of the responses was, “If you own the bank, wouldn't you want to put all your money in it?” In his book, Nelson talks about the use of whole life insurance policies that earn dividends which increases the policy’s cash value over time, and how owning such policies allows an individual to control his cash flow. Follow along in the discussion and let us know what you think.
