Kohler and Mat Sorensen dive deep into how to set up, maintain, and maximize your Solo 401(k) — giving you the tools to make the most of this powerful retirement plan.

The Solo 401(k) offers higher contribution limits, flexible investment options, and unique tax advantages that make it one of the most attractive plans for the self-employed. Mark and Mat break down everything you need to know about eligibility, plan setup, ongoing compliance, and strategies to ensure your plan is working for you. They’ll also cover common mistakes, key rules to remember, and proven ways to grow your wealth through real estate, small business investments, and alternative assets inside your Solo 401(k).
