Show Summary Lean into your knowledge. There are business owners out there that need your experience and advice. You have it, don’t hold it back. In this episode, Christeen Era shares why she was convinced that the industry, Lawn Care and Landscape Businesses, needed her. Christeen sadly watched businesses in this industry go down one by one when the economy took a downturn. These firms just didn’t have the tools and the knowledge. This is one of the reasons that she authored the book, Profit First for Lawn Care and Landscape Business. Using this experience, she coaches her clients and the readers on how to implement it in their businesses. She educates them on what the full implementation of Profit First can do for their businesses and how powerful it is through her courses and group work. It can be difficult to talk to clients about their financials. Whether is the shame of what has happened in the past or that they do not

Show Summary From the outside, contractors look like pretty hard-nosed individuals. In reality, they are lovable and soft on the inside and have the goal of wanting to make people smile. It’s a compliment, but it is one of the biggest business problems. They get so much satisfaction out of pleasing people, which often means undercutting themselves and not getting paid enough for what they do. Pricing is a challenge across all industries, and even hard-nosed contractors are faced with it. Shawn Van Dyke shares that the first thing he would tell his clients or the contractors to increase profitability is to raise their prices. If you’re not making money in a business, then you are running a charity. He also addresses how seasonality affects him as a contractor and how a CPA or a bookkeeper helps the contractors earn money. Shawn also compares the difference between good tax advice and good business advice.   <p

Show Summary Think of the business as the goal. The biggest thing that helped Evan as a gym owner was that he played professional sports. Running a business, just like sports driven by the numbers. As a goalie, he asked himself, 'what is my goal let in average?' There were specific numbers he looked at as a goalie and the same goes for him now, as a financial coach and business owner. Evan shared his insights on running a business both successfully and not so successfully when you're not onsite. He realized that his role in the business wasn't to do but to teach, encourage, provide protection, and help his team get what they want. His biggest realization was that his job wasn't to be a player but to be a guide or a coach to someone who could build something. He also advises the listeners on the best way to get started with Profit First Professionals. Sometimes, always doing it's not the best way to grow a company

Show Summary Compassion takes empathy one step further because it harbors a desire for all people to be free from suffering, and it's imbued with a desire to help. Compassion is the approach Gabrielle Kelly has been bringing to her clients. It is tough to talk about business finances, and it is a vulnerable position to be in. For Gabrielle, every operational decision you're making in your business is connected to the financial impact, so she brings compassion to finance discussions. We all have learned, made similar mistakes, and want to improve things. Sometimes it's hard to remember that somebody who does business may not always talk about profit, margins, and bottom line. Gabrielle is very comfortable with some finance and accounting words as an accounting professional. Still, it might seem very daunting and overwhelming to non-finance professionals, so she kind of breaks down those barriers and has those human connections. <

Show Summary Erin Moger was the very first guide that Profit First Professionals hired. She came to the company in 2015, shortly after we started in 2014. In this episode, Erin shares what inspired her to get into an unknown industry and what made her apply to work with Profit First Professionals. She experienced and witnessed different situations with her father, an entrepreneur. With this, she came to realize that money is merely a tool. It should not dictate one's happiness, where you are in life, or how you approach your future. If you have it, it's a little easier, but it should not be dealt with as a huge thing. Seeing the pattern she has growing up with the people now that she's coaching, the most significant thing about her role is HUMANITY. Entrepreneurship is lonely and can be incredibly overwhelming. The reality as a business owner is that you have this love and hope for your business, but you also

Show Summary Are you ready for today's episode? Learn the practical tips from today's guest, Denise Grove, for the small to medium-sized business owners on how to catch the frauds and embezzlements before they go too far. One of the questions that come to mind is why don't people often report frauds? The reason is plain simple. They are embarrassed that they were caught off guard with usually someone very trusted. That's why we have to TRUST BUT VERIFY. When dumping responsibility to someone to not deal with money, business owners give an employee so much power, and the temptation will probably trigger an embezzlement situation. Denise shares the practical tips or systems to TRUST AND VERIFY that business owners can implement. One of these tips is to have paper bank statements, paper credit card bills, and paper loan statements. Have it sent to the business owner's home address or the person primarily

Thinking outside of the box and thinking forward as to thinking about what's in the past really makes a big difference in people being successful in transitioning. In this episode, Billie Anne shares how to start thinking outside of the box by having empathy at the start of the entire process. According to her, you have to understand that your client is not an accountant or a bookkeeper, and you have to put yourself in their shoes.
