NCTC to train United<br />
Copper employees<br />
North Central Texas College has partnered with the<br />
Texas Workforce Commission to provide a training grant to<br />
United Copper, Inc., a copper manufacturing plant located<br />
in <strong>Denton</strong>.<br />
The $85,000 grant will train more than 62 employees<br />
on various skills including programmable logic controllers,<br />
electrical wiring,industrial and shop mathematics, pneumatics,<br />
hydraulics and <strong>com</strong>munication.<br />
The training is funded by a skills grant that is offered<br />
through the Texas Workforce Commission. Lifelong Learning,<br />
the continuing education division of North Central Texas<br />
College, partners extensively with the Texas Workforce<br />
Commission’s field offices to foster economic development<br />
by training employees in advanced skills.<br />
“Grants like these help sustain a <strong>com</strong>pany’s workforce,”<br />
said Diane Mannion, Workforce Development Coordinator<br />
at NCTC. “This particular grant will also help United Copper<br />
streamline their production processes through <strong>com</strong>petency<br />
training.”<br />
Linda Bradley, Human Resource Director at United<br />
Copper, agrees.<br />
“We are very excited to have these resources available to<br />
us to build and expand the skill sets of our current and future<br />
employees,” she said. “Receiving this grant was a goal we<br />
set for our organization when I joined a year ago and I appreciate<br />
all the support and assistance I received from North<br />
Central Texas College and Texas Workforce Commission to<br />
make this happen.”<br />
Training will begin July 18 and will take place on-site<br />
at United Copper and at the Career Technology Center at<br />
NCTC’s Gainesville campus. Former skills grants recipients<br />
include GE Transportation and Labinal, and future workforce<br />
skills grants are in progress.<br />

Investing<br />
Ideas<br />
By Abe<br />
Nayfa<br />
Will You Be Able To<br />
Retire When You Want?<br />
Despite the soaring stock market of<br />
the past few years, some Americans are<br />
nervous about their ability to retire <strong>com</strong>fortably<br />
— or even retire at all.<br />
Consider these somewhat sobering<br />
statistics:<br />
• Almost half of American workers<br />
report being “not too confident” or “not<br />
at all confident” about being able to afford<br />
a <strong>com</strong>fortable retirement, according to<br />
the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s<br />
2013 Retirement Confidence Survey. The investment mix that can offer the growth<br />
Don’t 28 percent trust who say your they are “not vehicle at all” you’ll – or need your to accumulate wallet a sufficient – to level just<br />
confident is the highest level recorded in of retirement savings?<br />
anyone who owns a wrench.<br />
the 23 years of this survey.<br />
• Between 2010 and 2012, the percentage<br />
of people 45 to 60 who planned<br />
years or you’re afraid that you’ll have to<br />
work longer than you anticipated — what<br />
can you do to possibly alleviate your worries?<br />
Your first step is to get specific about<br />
your retirement goals. Have you set a target<br />
date for your retirement yet? If so, how<br />
many years until you reach this date?<br />
Once you know when you want to<br />
retire, you’ll need to <strong>com</strong>e up with some<br />
sort of “price tag” for your retirement<br />
years. By taking into account your hopedfor<br />
lifestyle and your projected longevity,<br />
you should be able to develop a reasonably<br />
good estimate of how much money you’ll<br />
need as a retiree. You may find it helpful<br />
to work with a financial professional —<br />
someone with the tools and experience to<br />
plug in all the variables needed to calculate<br />
your retirement expenses.<br />
Next, review your retirement savings<br />
vehicles, such as your 401(k) and IRA. Are<br />
you contributing as much as you can afford<br />
to these accounts? Are you increasing<br />
your contributions when your salary rises?<br />
Within these vehicles, are you choosing an<br />

retirement plan, you can find<br />

moving out your retirement date isn’t so<br />
bad — you’ll bring in more earned in<strong>com</strong>e<br />

bigger monthly checks. Plus, you could<br />
postpone your withdrawals from your<br />
401(k) and IRA, giving these accounts<br />
more time in which to potentially grow.<br />

Collaborative Wood and Paper Pieces<br />
on view in the Gough Gallery<br />
A piece by Shelley Scott<br />
The Greater <strong>Denton</strong> Arts Council presents<br />
PAPER + WOOD: a collaborative exhibit<br />
by Shelley Scott and Delaney Smith,<br />
opening in the Gough Gallery on July 7,<br />
2013. Both artists create work that explores<br />
the ideas of art, functionality, and sculpture.<br />
Shelley Scott creates unique pieces of<br />
handmade sculpture and furniture. Scott<br />
says, “I approach furniture as sculpture and<br />
most of my work is minimally functional. I<br />
use the stack-lamination process, an additive<br />
process where I layer and glue wood together<br />
to construct a form. With this process I<br />
create organic forms while using materials<br />
that I respectfully collect. The unique properties<br />
I find in bark, branches, roots, abandoned<br />
furniture, and industrial waste often<br />
suggests an idea or form to me. To blend the<br />
multiple scraps and different wood grains I<br />
interweave elements, working as if I were<br />
creating a patchwork quilt, focusing on color,<br />
line, and pattern.”<br />
Delaney Smith is interested in the book<br />
as an object and how people interact with or<br />
relate to its form. She says, “We are taught<br />
A piece by Delaney Smith<br />
at a young age to preserve books. In contrast,<br />
the viewers of my books are invited<br />
to physically alter the pages, which develop<br />
into a unique story of marks. The accumulative<br />
marks created by the viewer create the<br />
content of the book, revealing the individual<br />
decisions of the person. As a result of interaction<br />
with the artwork, the viewers of my<br />
interactive books have a sense of investment<br />
and authority over what happens to the artwork.<br />
The life of the piece is dependent on<br />
the individual that interacts with it, and the<br />
work is considered unfinished until the moment<br />
the viewer begins to alter it.”<br />
The exhibition will open with a reception<br />
on Sunday, July 7, 2013, 2:00 – 4:00 pm.<br />
The artists will be in attendance.<br />
The exhibition is free and open to the<br />
public. Gallery hours are Tuesday through<br />
Sunday, 1:00 to 5:00 pm.<br />
The Center for the Visual Arts is located<br />
at 400 E. Hickory Street, <strong>Denton</strong>, Texas,<br />
76201.<br />

these events help the Chamber develop and implement new programs and projects to<br />
increase value to our members and position the <strong>Denton</strong> Chamber as a leading business<br />

Spotlight on ... Big Momma’s Catfish and Pies<br />
Sanger resident Amy Jones followed<br />
her dreams, opening Big Momma’s Catfish<br />
and Pies in downtown Sanger, and has been<br />
happily serving up down-home, homemade<br />
food to customers since opening the restaurant<br />
earlier this year.<br />
Amy and her husband, Matt, have been<br />
married for 20 years and have lived in Sanger<br />
for the past 14 years with their children<br />
Cole, Reagan, and Jett. Their sweet daughter<br />
Madison would have been 16 this year. She<br />
passed away at age 6 from neuroblastoma.<br />
Amy was the owner of Amy’s Angels<br />
Daycare in Sanger for nine years, until 2002,<br />
and was encouraged by her loved ones to<br />
pursue her dream and open a restaurant.<br />
“My friends and family encouraged me<br />
to open Big Momma’s because they love my<br />
cooking, and because I really love to cook,”<br />
Amy said. “I also wanted to be a part of this<br />
<strong>com</strong>munity again and to interact with residents,<br />
as I had when I owned the daycare.”<br />
Prior to opening the restaurant, every<br />
single recipe now served at Big Momma’s<br />
was tested at home.<br />
“Everything I serve is something I cook<br />
at home. There’s something for everyone,<br />
and for me, it has to be perfect,” she said. “It<br />
took over three months of testing with my<br />
friends and family to bring my home-cooking<br />
from my kitchen to Big Momma’s.”<br />
Everything at Big Momma’s Catfish<br />
and Pies is homemade.<br />
“It’s all made from scratch – from the<br />
pies to the fresh-cut fries. I initially learned<br />
to cook from my mom, who is the best cook<br />
I know. I’m here every morning baking pies<br />
from my grandmother’s recipes,” Amy said.<br />
“We open at 5 p.m., but I’m up here cooking<br />
much earlier than that.”<br />
The most popular menu choices have<br />
been the Fried Catfish and the Chicken Fried<br />
Steak, as well as the signature pies.<br />
“I chose the menu based on all of the<br />
things I love to cook, and all the things my<br />
friends and family love,” she said. “The pies<br />
have actually be<strong>com</strong>e quite famous – with<br />
Coconut Pie and Chocolate Cream Pie being<br />
fan favorites.”<br />
Additional pie offerings include Pecan,<br />
Frank, Amy and John of Big Momma’s Catfish and Pies.<br />
Buttermilk, Peach, Apple, Peanut Butter,<br />
Lemon, and a new offering – German Chocolate<br />
Pecan.<br />
Big Momma’s Catfish and Pies also offers<br />
catering on location for any size group,<br />
and they deliver for catering orders as well.<br />
One customer recently had 25 pies delivered<br />
from Big Momma’s to his wedding<br />
reception, preferring Amy’s homemade pies<br />
to a traditional groom’s cake.<br />
Daily specials are offered, such as the<br />
Tuesday All-You-Can-Eat Catfish with<br />
two sides. Depending on what’s in season<br />
and what’s fresh, Big Momma’s will prepare<br />
special dishes based on the freshness<br />
of ingredients. Right now, offerings include<br />
strawberries for fresh, fun desserts as well as<br />
wonderful squash.<br />

Big Momma’s<br />
(Continued from pg. 14)<br />
Frank Fransciso and John ‘John John’ Henderson are the<br />
lead cooks for the restaurant, with one of Frank’s specialties<br />
being a dish named after him – Frank’s Smothered Chicken,<br />
which is grilled with sautéed onions and mushrooms, smothered<br />
with melted pepperjack cheese. Their third-pound hamburger<br />
is popular, and when it <strong>com</strong>es to catfish, chicken and<br />
shrimp, their grilled preparation of each has been as popular<br />
as fried. The shrimp offered at Big Momma’s, Amy said, are<br />
the “biggest in Sanger.”<br />
Other menu choices include Ribeye Steak, Chicken<br />
Fried Chicken, Sandwiches including Catfish, Shrimp,<br />
Chicken Fried Chicken, or Chicken Fried Steak, and Salads<br />
that can be topped with Blackened, Grilled or Fried Shrimp<br />
or Chicken. They also offer a Kid’s Menu with choices of a<br />
Burger, Mini Corn Dogs, Catfish or Fried Shrimp.<br />
Choices of Side Dishes include Gran’s Potato Salad,<br />
Cole Slaw, Pinto Beans, French Fries, Onion Rings, Baked<br />
Potato, Mashed Potato, Sautéed Mushrooms, Hush Puppies,<br />
Cajun Okra, Fried Green Beans, or a Side Salad.<br />
Besides their famous pies, Big Momma’s also offers slices<br />
of made-from-scratch cake. Whole cakes or pies are also<br />
available.<br />
Amy chose the location of her new restaurant primarily<br />
because they would be tenants of John and Liz Springer of<br />
Springer Properties. Big Momma’s is housed in the location<br />
of the old Sanger Drug Store.<br />
“John and Liz were very encouraging about opening<br />
a restaurant in Sanger. They are very special to us and we<br />
are proud to call them friends,” Amy said. “The best part<br />
about owning a restaurant in Sanger is the <strong>com</strong>munity, and<br />
the ability to meet new people. You <strong>com</strong>e in, you meet us,<br />
and you be<strong>com</strong>e part of my family. I want to talk about you,<br />
your kids, your grandkids, and your health. When you <strong>com</strong>e<br />
to Big Momma’s, I want it to feel like home.”<br />
Amy would like to thank some very special friends for<br />
helping to build Big Momma’s – Debbi Stenzel, Bret Turnbow,<br />
Billy Blackmon, Ricky Bishop, and Misty and Greg<br />
Links.<br />
The restaurant is BYOB, perfect for a girls-night-out for<br />
those want to bring along some wine, or a guys-night-out for<br />
those who bring in coolers.<br />
“Bring your group in and make yourself at home,” Amy<br />
said. “It’s a family friendly restaurant that has room for everyone.”<br />
Big Momma’s Catfish and Pies is located at 303 Bolivar<br />
St. in downtown Sanger. Hours are Monday through Friday<br />
from 5 p.m. to close, Saturday from 11 a.m. to close, and<br />
Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. They can be reached at<br />

Local development suggestions box<br />
available on Chamber website<br />
The “Suggestion Box” was publicly unveiled during the<br />
<strong>Denton</strong> Chamber of Commerce’s membership luncheon on<br />
June 7 ... a new service link posted on the <strong>Denton</strong> Chamber<br />
web site to allow objective input primarily regarding City of<br />
<strong>Denton</strong> development issues.<br />
Chamber Board Chair and <strong>Denton</strong> Mayor Mark Burroughs<br />
initiated and pursued the Suggestion Box concept as<br />
a specific <strong>com</strong>ponent of the chamber’s 2012-2017 Strategic<br />
Plan. He coordinated the verbiage and response sequence in<br />
cooperation with City Manager George Campbell and Assistant<br />
City Manager John Cabrales.<br />
Mayor Burroughs describes the intent of the Suggestion<br />
Box as an option to “objectively identify issues that may be<br />
adversely impacting the process of development within the<br />
City, and to suggest alternative solutions to those issues.” He<br />
told the audience: “Your cooperation should help achieve<br />
more efficient, effective and customer friendly interactions<br />
and successful development project out<strong>com</strong>es within the<br />
City.”<br />
The format emphasizes specifics and actual examples,<br />
plus, encourages proposed re<strong>com</strong>mendations for addressing<br />
development concerns. The chamber’s Local Relation Committee<br />
will review responses on a regular basis to not only<br />
forward to the City Manager’s office, but to identify trends.<br />
The Suggestion Box link is posted on the home page of<br />
the <strong>Denton</strong> Chamber web site – www.denton-chamber.org.<br />

over 150 years. The town was first<br />
known as "Pilot's Point" for a high<br />
point of timber line trees that served<br />
travelers as a landmark. Pioneers<br />
began settling in the area in the late<br />
1840's. Pilot Point was near an early<br />
immigrant trail and was a stop on the<br />
Butterfield Stage route. The original<br />
town was platted in 1853, making<br />
Pilot Point the oldest town in <strong>Denton</strong><br />
Valor Farm<br />
County. Today we are surrounded by<br />
pristine ranches that are the homes of<br />
regional, national and world championship horses. The horse industry is our most renowned<br />
and fastest-growing industry in the surrounding Pilot Point area. Many of the horse ranches<br />
from our area open their facilities to the public, offering education and enjoyment of horses and<br />
of the horse industry. Pilot Point boasts several wonderful State parks including Jordan Branch,<br />
home of Lantana Lodge, and Isle du Bois, of which offer a myriad of outdoor activities. The<br />
parks include a beautiful Greenbelt Corridor with a 20-mile multi-use trail system. The trail<br />
begins at the Ray Roberts Dam and ends at the headwaters of Lake Lewisville. This unique trail<br />
corridor meanders along the heavily wooded banks of the Elm Fork Branch of the Trinity River.<br />
Equestrians, hikers, bikers, canoeist, birdwatchers, anglers and other outdoor enthusiast can<br />
access the trail at one of the three trailheads, located at Hwy. 380, FM 455 and FM 548.<br />

The Pilot Point area has drawn<br />
visitors and settlers to the gentle<br />
rolling hills of North Central Texas for<br />
over 150 years. The town was first<br />
known as "Pilot's Point" for a high<br />
point of timber line trees that served<br />
travelers as a landmark. Pioneers<br />
began settling in the area in the late<br />
1840's. Pilot Point was near an early<br />
immigrant trail and was a stop on the<br />
Butterfield Stage route. The original<br />
town was platted in 1853, making<br />
Pilot Point the oldest town in <strong>Denton</strong><br />
Valor Farm<br />
County. Today we are surrounded by<br />
pristine ranches that are the homes of<br />
regional, national and world championship horses. The horse industry is our most renowned<br />
and fastest-growing industry in the surrounding Pilot Point area. Many of the horse ranches<br />
from our area open their facilities to the public, offering education and enjoyment of horses and<br />
of the horse industry. Pilot Point boasts several wonderful State parks including Jordan Branch,<br />
home of Lantana Lodge, and Isle du Bois, of which offer a myriad of outdoor activities. The<br />
parks include a beautiful Greenbelt Corridor with a 20-mile multi-use trail system. The trail<br />
begins at the Ray Roberts Dam and ends at the headwaters of Lake Lewisville. This unique trail<br />
corridor meanders along the heavily wooded banks of the Elm Fork Branch of the Trinity River.<br />
Equestrians, hikers, bikers, canoeist, birdwatchers, anglers and other outdoor enthusiast can<br />
access the trail at one of the three trailheads, located at Hwy. 380, FM 455 and FM 548.<br />

The Richeson Group: 44-year-old Dairy Queen outfit continues to expand<br />
Since its original restaurant opening in<br />
1969, The Richeson Group has added stores<br />
throughout much of Texas, having just added<br />
its 55-58th Dairy Queen with the purchase<br />
of existing stores in Arlington, Crowley,<br />
Duncanville and Mansfield Texas, located<br />
in the heart of the DFW market and serving<br />
<strong>com</strong>munity members and tourists alike.<br />
The stores have been owned by the<br />
Rayhel family, long-time Dairy Queen owners<br />
who have elected to retire. Carol Rayhel<br />
says, “I want some time to enjoy my family.”<br />
Operating within The Richeson Group<br />
are subsidiary 4D Enterprises owners Patricia<br />
Dial, Dallas Pooser and Joe “Tiger” Tillman.<br />
Also acting as The Richeson Group’s<br />
top executives in the 58-store <strong>com</strong>pany, these<br />
officers are respectively Patricia “Pat” Dial,<br />
president, Dallas Pooser, director of operations,<br />
and Joe “Tiger” Tillman, district<br />
manager. 4D has another Dairy Queen under<br />
construction, in Granbury, Texas, Hood<br />
County on Hwy 377.<br />
The Richeson Group consists of the Home Office located in Graham with a staff of a dozen or so running the accounting, payroll,<br />
inventories, maintenance, construction and repair, human resources, advertising, public relations and any other detail every business<br />
expects to have. There are eight district managers who watch over anywhere from four to eight restaurants within their district.<br />
“There are always challenges when<br />
you obtain a business already in operation,”<br />
says Image Relations Coordinator, Lisa Mc-<br />
Cool. “We are working diligently to make<br />
a smooth transition and put the productive<br />
and positive Richeson practices in place with<br />
our new locations.”<br />
Immediate changes visible to the <strong>com</strong>munity<br />
will be the presence of Richeson<br />
executives within the stores, implementing<br />
procedures which have been developed over<br />
the <strong>com</strong>pany’s 44-year history for efficiency<br />
producing good food and service.<br />
Director of Operations Dallas Pooser,<br />
a 4D principle, says, “We’re really proud to<br />
add the four Dairy Queen stores in the DFW<br />
market, where we already operate 11 units.”<br />

Joe Tillman, grandson of Doris<br />
Richeson, Chairman and CEO, said, “I have<br />
been a part of the <strong>com</strong>pany since 2002. Indeed<br />
some of my earliest memories are traveling<br />
on Dairy Queen business trips with my<br />
grandmother. When I started working in the<br />
business, it was at our very lowest level; I had<br />
to show that I could get the job done, and I<br />
now own multiple DQ locations that are a<br />
part of The Richeson Group as a whole. My<br />
wife Morgan and I graduated from Tarleton<br />
State University and my daughter, Hayden<br />
Kennedy Tillman will be the fourth generation<br />
of our family involved with the DQ<br />
brand.<br />
Doris Richeson is currently serving<br />
on the board of directors at Texas Dairy<br />
Queen Operators’ Council, whose office is<br />
located in Bedford. Richeson has served on<br />
the board throughout many of the years she<br />
has been in business, having been elected its<br />
president or chairman several times.<br />
Expanding from just one Dairy Queen<br />
to 58 units has kept The Richeson Group<br />
growing, with no mothballs casting it into<br />
stagnation throughout its future. The group<br />
uses annually almost a million pounds of<br />
potatoes, half a million pounds of American<br />
beef and a quarter of a million gallons<br />
of Dairy Queen dessert mix, and employs<br />
nearly a thousand Texans.<br />

Corner<br />
By Jeff King<br />
Storm Shelters and<br />
Safe Rooms – are they<br />
worth the investment?<br />
When a person makes an addition or<br />
improvement to their home; many questions<br />
cross their mind. First and foremost,<br />
what is the cost of the addition and will it<br />
add value to my home? These improvements<br />
do include storm shelters or safe<br />
rooms. Studies have shown that a safe<br />
room or storm shelter may increase your<br />
home value by as much as 3-5 %. he cost<br />
of the safe room may be $4,000 to $5,000,<br />
although the cost can be several thousand<br />
dollars more depending on how elaborate<br />
a person desires. But <strong>com</strong>paring this cost<br />
to what may be saved, a human life, the<br />
return may be priceless.<br />
The second question is what specifications<br />
should be used in building a safe<br />
room or a storm shelter. FEMA has re<strong>com</strong>mendations<br />
available based on the<br />
number of people to include. The measurements<br />
range from 5 people at 5’ wide<br />
and 6’ long to 26 people at 8’ wide and 20’<br />
feet long.<br />
Like all construction projects, a person<br />
will need to consider lead time to build a<br />
shelter. These can take two to three weeks<br />
and probably longer if a person is adding<br />
a safe room within their existing home<br />
which requires renovations. During storm<br />
season, this may be even longer. Also,<br />
storm shelters may be easier to install as<br />
they would be a separate structure from an<br />
existing home. A local permit may also be<br />
required as this is a renovation or addition<br />
to a home.<br />
Storm shelters may also require concrete<br />
anchoring to avoid a shelter floating<br />
out of the ground due to saturated soil and<br />
the extra protection. This may be required<br />
by state or local authorities.<br />
Roughly <strong>com</strong>paring what a homeowner<br />
saves or gains with a storm shelter<br />
or a safe room verses the costs ... most<br />
homeowners would agree – it is something<br />
that may make great sense.<br />

By Virginia<br />
Hammerle<br />
Taking the Fifth<br />
You have a constitutional right to remain<br />
silent when being questioned by the<br />
police, if you have a reasonable belief that<br />
your answer may incriminate you. The<br />
fact that you refused to answer questions<br />
cannot be used against you in a criminal<br />
trial.<br />
But what if you just sat silently and<br />
did not specifically state you were claiming<br />
your Fifth Amendment right to silence?<br />
The United States Supreme Court re-<br />
MKT-7738-A-HP<br />
cently addressed that question in Salinas v.<br />
Texas, and defendants and their attorneys<br />
aren’t going to like the answer.<br />
In 1992, a Houston man, Genovevo<br />
Salinas voluntarily went to a police station<br />
with officers to talk about the murder of<br />
two brothers. He was not under arrest and<br />
was not in custody, the triggers for giving<br />
a “Miranda warning” telling him that he<br />
had a right to silence.<br />
He answered almost all of the officers’<br />
questions until the officers asked him if<br />
shotgun casings found at the scene would<br />
match his gun. Then he said nothing, but<br />
was observed to have acted nervously in<br />
response. Prosecutors used the fact that he<br />
said nothing to help convince the jury that<br />
he was guilty. He was convicted and given<br />
a twenty-year sentence.<br />
Salinas’s attorney argued that because<br />
he was not in custody and had not received<br />
his Miranda warning, there was no<br />
Is it strange to think your financial advisor<br />
should actually simplify the college-saving<br />
process? Fortunately, our over 11,000<br />
financial advisors are in neighborhoods<br />
like yours, so having a conversation about<br />
planning for college is easy. Because<br />
parenting is <strong>com</strong>plicated enough.<br />

requirement that Salinas actually state that<br />
he was invoking the Fifth. The Supreme<br />
Court Opinion noted that it had previously<br />
said that a person must actually invoke<br />
the right for it to take effect.<br />
Because merely keeping quiet when<br />
police ask damaging questions is not<br />
claiming a right to silence, the Supreme<br />
Court ruled, prosecutors may use that<br />
silence against the suspect at the trial. If<br />
an individual is voluntarily talking to the<br />
police, he or she must claim the Fifth<br />
Amendment right of silence, or lose it.<br />
Simply saying nothing is not enough.<br />
Staying silent was the second mistake<br />
that Salinas made that night. What do you<br />
think was the first?<br />

Voice of<br />
Small<br />
<strong>Business</strong><br />
By Dan Danner,<br />
NFIB President<br />
5 Ways to Increase the<br />
Value of Your Company—<br />
Before You Sell It<br />
Every small business owner wants to get<br />
top dollar for the <strong>com</strong>pany he or she started<br />
and raised. But too many start thinking<br />
about the sales process too late to get the<br />
most value.<br />
“Most business owners wait to sell their<br />
<strong>com</strong>pany until they’re mentally frustrated or<br />
worn out,” says Greg Caruso, principal at<br />
Harvest Associates LLC, a transaction advisory<br />
firm in Baltimore.<br />
To get the highest selling price for your<br />
business, start planning early. And do these<br />
five things:<br />
1. Strive to increase profits and cash<br />
flow.<br />
The person or <strong>com</strong>pany buying your<br />
business will probably need a loan for the<br />
purchase—and they’ll be using the business’<br />
profits to make their monthly payments.<br />
That’s why maximum profitability, as well<br />
as healthy cash flow, is so important to the<br />
value of your business.<br />
Think you’re doing the best you can?<br />
Think again, says Caruso. He suggests hiring<br />
a part-time CFO or CPA—someone<br />
from the outside—to scour your books and<br />
operations for inefficiencies. “A lot of business<br />
owners don’t understand how to assess<br />
where they are, and it can make a huge difference<br />
in profitability,” he says.<br />
2. Grow sales. Period.<br />
Why would you want to spend long<br />
hours boosting the revenue of a <strong>com</strong>pany<br />
you’re about to sell? Because you’ll get more<br />
money in the sale. Caruso says if a business’<br />
revenue is consistently growing for two<br />
to three years, the buyer is willing to pay a<br />
higher price because sales are an indication<br />
that they’ll be making more money down the<br />
road.<br />
Also, buyers are more enthusiastic about<br />
purchasing a growing business. “When<br />
things are expanding and improving, people<br />
get emotionally excited. And ultimately,<br />
emotions drive a purchase,” he says.<br />
3. Get systems in place to put your business<br />
on autopilot.<br />
From a buyer’s point of view, a business<br />
is a series of processes and systems that develops<br />
a service or product, which is then<br />
sold in exchange for money to generate a<br />
profit. It is not a hobby or a way of life, as<br />
you might see it. It must be a well-oiled machine<br />
that can operate on its own.<br />
The price of your business will go up<br />
if you can prove you’ve mastered these processes.<br />
What have you done over time to increase<br />
their efficiency? Do employees follow<br />
the processes? Buyers place higher value on<br />
<strong>com</strong>panies that can run themselves.<br />
4. Remove yourself from the business.<br />
By the time you put your business on the<br />
market, you should be as hands-off as possible.<br />
This demonstrates that your top managers<br />
and employees can handle running—and<br />
continue growing—the business without<br />
you. Because eventually, they will have to.<br />
“If every decision stops with you, what is a<br />
buyer going to buy?” Caruso says.<br />
5. Get the details, like debts and leases,<br />
in order.<br />
Your business will sell at a higher price<br />
if the details of your business are in order.<br />
If you own a convenience store, for example,<br />
and its success hinges upon its prime<br />
location, you better have a long-term lease<br />
sewn down. But if you own an engineering<br />
firm that is outgrowing its small office space,<br />
a short-term lease is better. “Contracts like<br />
these should be in a prime spot to increase<br />
the value of your business,” says Caruso.<br />
Debts and other obligations should also<br />
have nailed-down arrangements. Uncertainty<br />
is not friendly to the valuation of a business,<br />
says Caruso.<br />
What Goes Into the Sale<br />
Price of Your <strong>Business</strong>?<br />
Small business owners usually have an idea about how much they want to sell<br />
their business for—but they have no idea what it’s actually worth.<br />
Why? They’re too focused on the blood, sweat and tears they’ve poured into the<br />
business over the years and not enough on what the market will bear, says Greg Caruso,<br />
principal at Harvest Associates LLC, a transaction advisory firm in Baltimore. Coming<br />
to the realization that your business’ worth is not directly related to the amount of hard<br />
work you’ve put in is difficult. It’s also necessary to get the process moving.<br />
And while the ultimate value, or sale price, given to you by professionals may be<br />
much lower than you were expecting (and it usually is, pros say), the experts have their<br />
methods. Here’s what goes into that final number:<br />
The buyer. The sale price of your business is often determined by who’s buying. If<br />
a family member or top manager has agreed to buy your business over a 10-year period,<br />
for example, the deal could be structured where payment installments fluctuate based<br />
on the <strong>com</strong>pany’s performance. If a buyer strictly wants to buy your business for its<br />
assets, though, and does not wish to continue operating the business, the sale price will<br />
likely be determined by the value of these assets. “A buyer’s biggest question is, ‘How<br />
can I service my debt and get a reasonable return on investment?’” says Phil Corbin, a<br />
business broker with Henderson <strong>Business</strong> Group in West Des Moines, Iowa.<br />
The approach. If you decide to get an official value from a valuation professional—usually<br />
a certified valuation analyst—expect to hear terms like “market-based approach”<br />
and “in<strong>com</strong>e approach.” These terms indicate which appraisal method the<br />
professional employed when valuing your <strong>com</strong>pany. The most <strong>com</strong>mon methods for<br />
a small business are:<br />
The in<strong>com</strong>e approach, which emphasizes your past, current and projected revenue<br />
and cash flow.<br />
The market approach, which derives value from historic sales of similar businesses<br />
The asset approach, which takes into account the fair market value of a business’<br />
assets<br />
The approach largely depends on the professional’s discretion and your <strong>com</strong>pany’s<br />
situation.<br />
“Valuation is more of an art than a science,” says Scott Mashuda, managing director<br />
of Rivers Edge Alliance, a business brokerage firm in Pittsburgh. Typically, a small<br />
business valuation is based on a <strong>com</strong>bination of the in<strong>com</strong>e and market approaches,<br />
he says.<br />
Cash is king. Even so, most valuation professionals agree that cash flow is the top<br />
determinant when valuing a business for a third-party buyer. Why cash flow, and not<br />
revenue or assets? Because buyers are more concerned with how they’ll make money<br />
after the sale. “It’s pretty damn simple,” says Caruso. “Take the past 12 months of a<br />
small business’ cash flow—in my world, that’s every way the owner makes money—<br />
and the business will sell for two to three times that.” That’s why many business owners<br />
see valuations drop off precipitously during a recessionary period.<br />
If you’re thinking about selling your business, get going as soon as possible. The<br />
biggest mistake you could make is to wait too long to get a value and put the <strong>com</strong>pany<br />
on the market, says Caruso. “Once a small business owner is checked out, they don’t<br />
stay motivated and the business diminishes very quickly,” he says. “So will its value.”<br />

By Harvey<br />
Mackay<br />
Everyone is a<br />
salesperson ... whether<br />
they like it or not<br />
Everyone is a salesperson all of their life.<br />
After all, whether you are a mechanic, teacher<br />
or a manager, you are selling ideas. You are negotiating.<br />
You are <strong>com</strong>municating … persuading<br />
… influencing.<br />
If you don’t believe you are a salesperson,<br />
I encourage you to rethink your position<br />
because the probability that you will be<strong>com</strong>e<br />
successful is significantly diminished.<br />
This is the lesson that I would give to people<br />
who might tell me that my most recent book<br />
is not for them. “The Mackay MBA of Selling<br />
in the Real World” is for everyone, especially<br />
now.<br />
The hardcover edition was published in<br />
November 2011. The paperback version came<br />
out May 1 and contains 10 new chapters and<br />
nine new “quickies,” including sections on such<br />
important topics as relationships/networking<br />
and time management. I’d like to share a preview<br />
of the new material.<br />
Networks are the foundation of business.<br />
Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad, Poor<br />
Dad” hit the nail on the head when he wrote,<br />
“The richest people in the world look for and<br />
build networks. Everyone else looks for work.”<br />
Ace networkers learn to master the navigation<br />
and the niceties that earn networkers acceptance,<br />
respect and authority. Here are three<br />
road-tested tips:<br />
1. Create timelines for your networking<br />
goals. Be patient. Understand that it may<br />
take one or two years to position yourself in a<br />
network. Always plan the supporting network<br />
routes to business objectives far ahead. Totally<br />
determined to sell a major prospect and ready<br />
to make a proposal in 18 months? Is the buyer<br />
an opera buff or dedicated to funding a dialysis<br />
center? Are you building a network path to<br />
mesh with those passions?<br />
2. Don’t stall answers. When you acquire<br />
a serious Get your... network presence, you’ll be asked for<br />

favors in no time. Don’t be slow to answer calls,<br />
even if you can’t promise your contact much<br />
help. Networks telegraph who the fast responders<br />
and who the slowpokes are. The biggest<br />
mistake you can make is not to answer a viable<br />
network member who is reaching out to you.<br />
That remains true even if it’s just to tell them<br />
“no” in a clear and polite way.<br />
3. Act confidently and take meaningful<br />
risks. In networking, as in anything else, the<br />
wise person isn’t the one who makes the fewest<br />
mistakes. It’s the one who learns the most from<br />
them.<br />
Discussing time management, my favorite<br />
lesson <strong>com</strong>es from the late Peter Drucker, who<br />
said, “Until we can manage time, we can manage<br />
nothing else.”<br />
We all start out in life with one thing in<br />
<strong>com</strong>mon – the same number of minutes and<br />
hours in each day. So why do some people<br />
ac<strong>com</strong>plish so much, and others, very little?<br />
Because so few of us have learned to beat the<br />
clock.<br />
For a salesperson, time isn’t next to money<br />
in the asset column. It is money. Perhaps the<br />
most important lesson I ever learned is that not<br />
everyone’s clock ticks to the same drumbeat.<br />
I poked around and learned that 9 to 5 didn’t<br />
have to be 9 to 5. It didn’t matter how my clock<br />
ticked. What mattered was how my prospects’<br />
clocks ticked.<br />
Some buyers came in at 6 a.m. Some<br />
worked until 7 p.m. Some worked Saturday<br />
mornings. That boiled down to an edge, if I<br />
chose to use it – for three hours every morning,<br />
two hours every afternoon and four hours on<br />
Saturday. This was invaluable <strong>com</strong>petition-free<br />
time. Naturally, these time slots turned out to<br />
be my most productive opportunities.<br />
So I changed the playing-field clock. Then<br />
I changed my contact tactics. Cold calls were<br />
out. I always called ahead to make sure the<br />
buyer was in. I made creative appointments<br />
and asked for only 300 seconds of the buyer’s<br />
time. Sounds basic, but the message said my<br />
product was special. It was as special as the<br />
working hours of my customers.<br />
Not only did these details help me manage<br />
my own schedule more efficiently. They helped<br />
guarantee that I was up to bat when the prospects<br />
were greatest for a maximum payoff.<br />
Along with these two subjects, I’ve added<br />
chapters on topics including how to be prepared<br />
should you ever lose your job, execution<br />
intelligence and the importance of volunteering.<br />
Will any of these ideas require major<br />
changes? Probably not, but I hope they help<br />
you see the importance of selling skills for success<br />
in any field.<br />
Mackay’s Moral: You’ve heard me say it<br />
many times, “Little things mean a lot – not true.<br />
Little things mean everything.”<br />

Q&A<br />
By Kim<br />
Komando<br />
Q. Is it safe to bank or visit other sensitive<br />
stuff on my phone when using public<br />
Wi-Fi?<br />
A. I wouldn’t. Whether you use a smartphone,<br />
tablet or <strong>com</strong>puter, public Wi-Fi isn’t<br />
safe. Hackers on the network can snoop<br />
on what you’re doing. I’d wait until you’re<br />
home for banking. If you absolutely have to<br />
bank on the go, switch over to cellular. Those<br />

signals are harder for hackers to intercept. If<br />
you’re worried about your data limit, you<br />
can <strong>com</strong>press data with an app like Onavo<br />
Extend. If your bank has a mobile app, it’s<br />
a good idea to use that instead of its mobile<br />
site. You could use text message banking if<br />
your bank supports it, too.<br />
Q: My <strong>com</strong>puter is really slow and I<br />
think it’s broken. Should I replace it?<br />
A: If it’s just slow performance, there’s a<br />
chance you can repair it. Most performance<br />
issues <strong>com</strong>e from malfunctioning hardware,<br />
viruses or a bad program. These don’t have<br />
to cost a lot to fix. Start by trying free software<br />
like PC Decrapifier, CCleaner or an<br />
anti-virus program. These can often speed<br />
things up. If those don’t work, it might be<br />
a hardware problem. Compare the estimated<br />
cost to fix it with the price of a new system.<br />
Erin Pack<br />

If it’s more than 50% or your <strong>com</strong>puter is<br />
older than 4 years, replace it.<br />
Q: I’m tired of paying for text messages.<br />
Is there some way to text for free?<br />
A: You bet, and it’s making carriers nervous.<br />
I’m talking about free texting apps that<br />
work over Wi-Fi and cellular. The right one<br />
for you depends on what service your friends<br />
and family use. For example, iMessage and<br />
Whatsapp only let you send messages to other<br />
users. If your friends and family use them,<br />
then you can use them and still chat with<br />
most of your friends. If not, go with Text-<br />
Free or TextPlus. These give you a special<br />
number that can send texts to anyone. Just<br />
make sure your friends know that number is<br />
only for texting, otherwise you might get hit<br />
with fees if they try to call.<br />
Q: I think my son might be addicted to<br />
Xbox Live. Is that possible? What can I do?<br />
A: Technology addiction is a very real,<br />
very dangerous phenomenon that can happen<br />
to anyone. The reSTART Internet Addiction<br />
Recovery Program is a great place to<br />
start. It offers tests to help identify addiction<br />
and resources to help recover from it. It’s a<br />
great place for learning how you can best<br />
help a loved one recover from addiction,<br />
too. The key is to let your son know that you<br />
support him and you’re there for him. If you<br />
can set the example for what healthy tech use<br />
looks like, he’s more likely to over<strong>com</strong>e his<br />
addiction.<br />
Q: My <strong>com</strong>puter’s layout is really boring.<br />
What are some fun, easy ways to shake<br />
it up?<br />
A: The easiest place to start is with new<br />
wallpaper. You can find thousands of places<br />
that offer wallpaper online, but make sure<br />
you only stick with official sites. Some scammers<br />
like to hide viruses in “wallpaper” files.<br />

Kim Komando: 5 things to know before<br />
you cut your cable bill<br />
Need more proof that the world is<br />
changing? The President of the National<br />
Cable & Tele<strong>com</strong>munications Association,<br />
Michael Powell, recently told the Senate that<br />
“the largest subscription video provider in<br />
the country today is Netflix.”<br />
If you haven’t paid attention to the entertainment<br />
landscape for the last few years,<br />
Netflix is an online streaming video service.<br />
You pay $8 a month and can watch all the<br />
TV shows and movies you want on your<br />
<strong>com</strong>puter, mobile gadgets or TV.<br />
It was the first, and not the last, serious<br />
challenge to the cable <strong>com</strong>panies’ dominance.<br />
Even if cable <strong>com</strong>panies won’t admit<br />
it, they’re working hard to stay relevant<br />
against growing <strong>com</strong>petition from Netflix,<br />
Amazon, Google Play, Hulu, iTunes, You-<br />
Tube and many other online video services.<br />
Millions of consumers have already<br />
been lured away from cable with promises of<br />
lower prices and the freedom to watch what<br />
they want, when they want. I know, because<br />
I’m one of them.<br />
Of course, like any big change to new<br />
technology, there are challenges to over<strong>com</strong>e.<br />
Here are five things I’ve discovered<br />
that will help make your transition easier - or<br />
might convince you to wait a bit longer to<br />
make the jump.<br />
1. Know what’s available<br />
Watching what you want, when you<br />
want is like a dream <strong>com</strong>e true. Once you try<br />
it, you’ll never want to go back to scheduled<br />
programming.<br />
Unfortunately, finding ways to watch all<br />
your favorite shows and movies is a bit of<br />
stumbling block. You might find some are<br />
available on Hulu, YouTube or other free TV<br />
only include wallpaper, but new menu colors,<br />
fonts, icons and more. You can change (Continued on page 35)<br />

(Continued from pg. 34)<br />
and free movie sites.<br />
Many will only be available on a paid<br />
subscription service, such as Netflix, Amazon<br />
or Hulu Plus, which generally cost you<br />
$7 to $8 a month. Not every service carries<br />
every show, so you could be forced to sign up<br />
for multiple services.<br />
Due to licensing restrictions, some<br />
shows are only available as paid digital<br />
downloads on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon.<br />
These can cost $1 to $2 per episode,<br />
and they might not be available the same<br />
time the episodes air. Buying a full season of<br />
a show can set you back from $20 to $50, just<br />
like a regular DVD box set.<br />
You can see how this starts to add up<br />
quickly. If you don’t plan ahead, you might<br />
find yourself paying as much as cable to keep<br />
up with everything.<br />
You could visit the major streaming<br />
sites and look through their catalogs to find<br />
out what shows and movies they have. Or<br />
you can visit a site like Can I Stream It? It<br />
will tell you which online providers have the<br />
shows you want to watch.<br />
2. Don’t miss out on live TV<br />
While on-demand viewing is nice, some<br />
people still want the option to watch live TV.<br />
It’s great for news and sports, two things<br />
streaming video services still don’t have<br />
available.<br />
Luckily, you don’t need a cable subscription<br />
to watch either one. You can pick<br />
up broadcast TV in full HD with an antenna.<br />
No, I’m not talking about the metal eyesores<br />
that used to perch on your roof. Modern<br />
HD antennas can be sleek, stylish and<br />
mounted indoors.<br />
I sell one that costs less than what most<br />
people pay for a month of cable. It’s slim<br />
enough to hide behind a painting and will<br />
give you 20 or more local and network channels.<br />
Major networks are also starting to<br />
stream live TV online. ABC is doing a test<br />
in New York and Philadelphia right now.<br />
ESPN and Disney already offer WatchES-<br />
PN and Watch Disney.<br />
For now, these services require you log<br />
in with proof of a cable or satellite account,<br />
but that could change in the future.<br />
3. Watch in <strong>com</strong>fort<br />
When streaming online video first appeared,<br />
your only real option was watching<br />
it on a <strong>com</strong>puter. That was fine for early<br />
adopters, but regular consumers wanted the<br />
full living-room experience.<br />
Thanks to smart TVs and streaming video<br />
boxes, that’s no longer a problem. Inexpensive<br />
gadgets like Roku, Boxee and Apple<br />
TV, or any modern video game system, will<br />
stream video from all the popular services<br />
right to your TV. If you’re buying a new TV,<br />
you can find smart TVs with online streaming<br />
built right in.<br />
A less expensive option, if you already<br />
have the hardware, is to connect your <strong>com</strong>puter<br />
right to your TV. Many newer <strong>com</strong>puters<br />
have HDMI or DVI outputs that will<br />
connect to most new TVs.<br />
Not only can it stream video, you can<br />
turn the <strong>com</strong>puter into a digital video recorder<br />
for recording live broadcasts. Or use<br />
it to browse the Web, display your pictures or<br />
anything else you can use a <strong>com</strong>puter to do.<br />
The <strong>com</strong>puter doesn’t have to be a highend<br />
monstrosity either. Personally, I use a<br />
Mac mini.<br />
4. Watch on the go<br />
Streaming video isn’t just for TVs and<br />
<strong>com</strong>puters, however. Maybe you want to<br />
watch video on the go with a tablet or smartphone.<br />
Because online services are Webbased,<br />
it’s no problem, as long as you have a<br />
decent Internet connection.<br />
Certain services work best with certain<br />
types of mobile gadgets. For example, Amazon<br />
will stream video to almost any tablet,<br />
but it works best with Amazon’s own Kindle<br />
Fire. However, it doesn’t have a smartphone<br />
app, while Netflix does.<br />
If you already have a mobile gadget, or<br />
are planning to purchase new ones, make<br />
sure they play nice with the services you use.<br />
5. Mix and match<br />
There’s no rule that says you have to<br />
choose just one of the options above. You<br />
can stick with cable for now and gradually<br />
explore free streaming video services.<br />
Ease your way into it and find out what<br />
works and doesn’t work for you. Take advantage<br />
of the free trials that the major streaming<br />
services offer.<br />
Don’t forget that cable <strong>com</strong>panies want<br />
to keep you as a customer. They’re upgrading<br />
their services and trying new promotions<br />
to make their offerings more attractive.<br />
You can leverage this into discounts and<br />
savings. For example, you can often get customer<br />
service to drop the monthly rental fee<br />
for your cable modem.<br />
