Ep #17: BONUS EPISODE - Alan and Kitces Unhinged (Mailbag Style!)
October 26, 2015
Continuing our monthly tradition, Michael Kitces and I return to answer your questions, “mailbag style.” We reach into our emails and VIP community to answer your questions from this past month. This new monthly bonus episode series has become a fun and exciting way for Michael and I to answer your burning questions.
Today, we get to 5 different questions from our XYPN VIP community. Starting with niche marketing to a psychographic instead of a demographic focus, we move on to how your relationships can affect your entrepreneurial plans, and end with how to calculate fees and complexities. If any of these questions are an area of interest for you, or if you have questions yourself surrounding these topics, you don’t want to miss out on this episode!
