How to Save on Health Insurance for Entrepreneurs

Oran Rose shares how he moved from door-to-door pest control sales into life insurance, driven partly by losing his father young and seeing firsthand the impact of inadequate coverage. He later shifted into health insurance, where he helps entrepreneurs and self-employed families understand options beyond expensive COBRA or full-price marketplace plans. The big theme is that business owners often overpay because they do not know how income, subsidies, private plans, short-term plans, and marketplace coverage can be combined. Oran's advice: talk to a qualified agent before assuming health insurance has to be a massive monthly burden. * Oran's background in door-to-door sales gave him the persistence needed to succeed in insurance. * How to get health insurance for entrepreneurs * Examples of families saving $1,500–$2,600+ per month by restructuring coverage. * Health insurance is confusing, but the right agent can help business owners avoid overpaying.

15 Acquisitions After Leaving His Job in 2000 with Paul Lajoie

Paul Lajoie started as a CPA, spent years in corporate finance, then left the W-2 world after buying his first flooring business with his brother. That first acquisition replaced both his and his wife's income, but he learned hard lessons around working capital, cash flow timing, and not overanalyzing every deal. Across 15 acquisitions, his biggest lessons were to remove emotion and ego, avoid buying what you don't fully understand, live frugally to fund the next deal, and seek help from people who have done it before.
