As entrepreneurs and executives ourselves, peer groups have been valuable in every way.

The following resources are designed for & by entrepreneurs and executives — our way to give back to the communities such as Vistage, YPO, and Executive Groups.

We believe these materials are a must for business owners and execs like you.

You will — or have — built something bigger than youself, and possibly even bigger than you imagined. But what brings meaning to your wealth? As you’re focused on the details of crafting your dream, it’s paramount to ask yourself: “So what?” Our resources are sure to get you thinking in the right direction.

We wrote the book on entrepreneurial wealth and legacy.

As an entrepreneur, being immersed in day-to-day business affairs often prevents you from anticipating and preparing for the many forks in the road of your entrepreneurial and life journeys.

First Generation Wealth is designed to help entrepreneurs and business owners learn enduring strategies for building a meaningful and lasting legacy. Authors Robert Balentine and Adrian Cronje, Ph.D., share stories that illuminate guiding principles and provide practical steps entrepreneurs can take to avoid the Shirtsleeves to Shirtsleeves phenomenon.

Capital Market Indicators for CEOs

Capital markets lead the economy, not the other way around.

Balentine has developed and refined a quantitative investment discipline throughout several market cycles that identifies capital market signals useful for anticipating the future. When our four market indicators are “flashing red,” we anticipate a high likelihood of a recession emerging during the next 12-18 months, just as they did in 1991, 2000, and 2007.

Armed with this understanding, we can more accurately identify signs of a coming downturn far enough in advance to meaningfully and impactfully course-correct.
