The theme of the panel is “practice management groups and study groups – pros and cons.” Among the topics to be discussed are financial reform, using social media, financial planning software, long-term care planning, indexed annuities, succession planning, suitability and fiduciary, staffing and compensation, broker dealer capital crunch, and marketing and communications.

Chien, a native of Taiwan who is currently a business consultant in Charlotte, N.C., has released her latest book, Show Me the Money – Run Your Business Like a Prosperous Investor. Show Me The Money helps small business owners view their business as an investment and learn how to build a foundation to position that business for transfer. The book is available through ShowMeTheMoneyBook.com as well as Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and other retailers.

Show Me the Money illustrates why you should expect a return on your investment after the years of hard work and stress involved in being a business owner. Step by step, Chien demonstrates how to spend more time working on your business and not just in it.

This book:

• Empowers you to concentrate on your business.


• Shows you how to become an investor of your business.


• Prepares you to proactively select the right exit channels and recognize the right window of opportunity to cash out.


• Guides you in strategically safeguarding your return on investment.


• Teaches you business value drivers—driving the right future investors to you.


• Enables you to achieve financial independence and continue to be part of the virtual business cycle.

Show Me the Money will show you how to avoid being in the one-third of all businesses that close without the owners receiving their deserved cash and business value.
