Everybody loves a good story and in this episode you get my three favorites. Each one of these will change the way you think about your business and most likely your life.

Most entrepreneurs are chasing an elusive end goal which will never come or satisfy them. They are fighting an internal battle against their true nature which will never serve them, or charging forward based on incomplete information.

You need to be crystal clear on what you want as you will get it. Understand who you are, how you operate and build your life and business around it. Charge forward with complete information, make the right decisions.

This is how we create a business and a life we want!

The messages within these simple stories are so powerful. Blind men, elephants, frogs, fisherman, bankers, we have it all. Suggest taking this one out for a relaxing walk, with an open mind. Enjoy.

EP# 27 CRACK THE CODE07 Aug 202200:41:33

CRACK THE CODE - FIRED UP BY FINANCE

Most entrepreneurs know they need to do more to gain greater clarity, control, and confidence in their numbers but most shy away rather than pulling the trigger. This simply is not good enough and for anyone that wants to have a business as opposed to a job, finance should be the first thought, not the last.

This episode is for you if…

  • You are reviewing out of date data as opposed to real time information
  • You have been trying (and failing) to gain understanding on your business financials since the start
  • You want to know exactly how much money you can expect to make over the next 12 months
  • You want to have confidence in what you can draw for your lifestyle
  • You want to know everything you need to do, and when you need to do it

We are joined by Morgan Roberts who is a very successful entrepreneur but was constantly feeling bogged down by finances. He was trying to do it himself, over analyzing and never actually getting the right information at the right time. For years he struggled, but more recently he finally cracked the code!

NOW…

He has a brand new FUTURE FORECAST. He knows exactly where his business is going. Exactly how many deals he needs to do. Exactly what his team will look like and most importantly exactly what he and his business partner Matthew will be able to draw for their young families.

Listen in to hear how valuable this has been for him and how valuable creating a forecast for your business would be for you. This is more than just a forecast, this is EVERYTHING you need to have your best year on record and you can produce it today!

EP#26 UNLOCK THE HIDDEN MARGINS31 Jul 202200:34:56
UNLOCK THE HIDDEN MARGINS - EASY MONEY MISSED BY MAJORITY

BEAT THE COST OF LIVING CRISIS

If you are in business, you have a margin, and every margin needs a master.

Most entrepreneurs focus relentlessly on sales and as a result are building businesses that will never make any money or provide the income they want for their desired lifestyle.

Successful entrepreneurs understand that in order to have a successful business they need to master their margins, and turn as much revenue into bottom line profit as possible!

Mastering your margin is not easy, however there are some very quick wins which will result in increasing your profitability substantially.

Everybody has six hidden margins in your business and the good news is you can unlock them almost instantly. If you are an entrepreneur this is the easy way to beat the cost of living crisis.

In this episode, we dive into 6 hidden margins that EVERY entrepreneur has in their business. Tuning into this one will likely be the MOST lucrative 30 minutes of your week.

You do not need to double in size, get more clients and grow! There is much easier money available to you.

SAVE THE DATE 

We have a very special date for you to add to your diary if you want to take all of this to the next level, pull the trigger, take total ownership of your finances and make more money in the next 12 months then this is for you. Please put Thursday 18th August into your diary and watch this space

EP#24 BALANCE SHEET BLUEPRINT17 Jul 202200:58:18

BALANCE SHEET BLUEPRINT - EVERY HUMAN ON THE PLANET HAS ONE

WEALTHY ENTREPRENEURS DON’T BUILD BUSINESSES, THEY BUILD BALANCE SHEETS

Most entrepreneurs are scared to look at the balance sheet. It seems made up, theoretical and a report that holds now value however EVERY entrepreneur needs to learn this report and master it.

In fact, if you have a single asset (including cash) or a single debt, then you have a balance sheet, but even your accountant does not understand why this report is useful to you and how you can use it to build wealth..

This will change the way you think. Shift from building a business to building a balance sheet.

In this episode we go through the basics of the balance sheet, how it relates to your other financials as well as how you can actually use it to provide you MASSIVE value in your business and your life.

If you are in business and you have never used a balance sheet before, this will give you all you need to understand it and get one up and running. If you have been using a balance sheet for years, this will deepen your understanding and your ability to generate wealth in your business.

The most undervalued, best kept secret in wealth creation is only a podcast away! Enjoy.

EP#23 I HAVE A SPREADSHEET FOR THAT10 Jul 202200:40:16

I HAVE A SPREADSHEET FOR THAT

“FOR EVERY ONE OF OUR FAILURES, WE HAVE A SPREADSHEET THAT LOOKED AWESOME” - SCOTT D COOK

A world class business cannot be run on spreadsheets.

Tsen is a very successful entrepreneur and business owner and loves a spreadsheet but he realised that even his master 52 column spreadsheet has limitations and cannot keep up with his business incredible serviced accommodation and mentoring business.

Only he could operate the sheets, they were prone to human error, they did not provide real time information for him to run the business.

The aim of the game is to move from managing your business yourself on spreadsheets to signing off a high value set of monthly accounts.

Tsen now has a world class finance team, monthly performance reviews, and a cloud based accounting system. He has gone from spending hours updating spreadsheets himself to sitting at the top of the pile and just signing off the numbers his world class team has produced for him.

Spreadsheet to Sign Off…

If you are getting bogged down in spreadsheets and never feel like you have a grip on your finances or you feel there could be something better out there, listen now.

The exciting part is, this is just the start! If you have already built a great business without financial clarity, imagine what you could do with it 

EP#22 EGO TO ECONOMICS03 Jul 202200:32:17

EGO TO ECONOMICS - 7 YEARS OF CHAOS TO CLARITY IN 1 MONTH

MORE REVENUE DOES NOT MEAN MORE PROFIT

Who is driving your business, you or your ego? Most entrepreneurs spend each year chasing more revenue than the last. More revenue means more problems, more working hours, more stress, and often less drawings.

The difference between the entrepreneur that makes money and the one that doesn’t is a business model. How will your business actually make money? Shift from Ego to Economics.

In this episode we speak with Kieran, video producer and entrepreneur as he shares his journey of transitioning from napkin calculations to a WORLD CLASS business model and FUTURE FORECAST™.

For 7 years Kieran wrote a number on a whiteboard and hoped that it came through to fruition. Guess what? It never did. He now finally has a business model and a forecast printed on his desk. He has clarity, and is more fired up than ever before!

This year, without a doubt, will be his most profitable on record, not due to growth but because he knows exactly what he needs to do to rejuvenate his bottom line! This one's for you if you want to feel fired up again and have a record breaking financial year.

Best year on record. Who doesn’t want that!? Now or Never!

LADIES, BUSINESS, BABIES - ‘MY WATERS BROKE ON A WEBINAR’

After the success of EP#5 BLOKES, BUSINESS, BABIES it is time to get the other side of the story 

Being in business and having a baby is a gift and a curse. You will likely see your ray of sunshine more than a working mum BUT forget 9 months of paid maternity.

How do you manage your business, whilst looking after your baby?

It takes time for a man to adapt, but typically they do not have the added pressure of broken sleep at night.

In this episode we go DEEP with a good friend of mine Michelle Cairns who is 6 months into her journey of managing a growing business and being a mum.

EP#14 BE YOUR BEST CUSTOMER08 May 202200:23:04

BE YOUR BEST CUSTOMER - ARE YOU YOUR OWN LARGEST CUSTOMER?

No one is talking about this.

If you own a letting agency, sourcing business, SA management company, development company etc then this one is for you.

When we start service based business it is normally to service ourselves first, before we know it we have a number of external customers to look after as well as ourselves. As your business grows and develops, so should the way you manage yourself as a customer to your own business.

Get this wrong and you will end up with a demotivated team, a lack of financial clarity, and a business that you cannot scale.

Get this right and scale a standalone business with a saleable value.

What price will you charge yourself?

How should your service levels differ from those of your clients?

How do you ensure tax is optimised?

Set this up once, and set it up right. Be your best customer and ensure your business continually drives improvement week in week out.

EP#13 THE THREE PILLARS01 May 202200:29:25
THE THREE PILLARS - BORING EPISODE ALERT - DO NOT LISTEN This episode is NOT for everyone.

Few entrepreneurs know what the THREE PILLARS of financial reporting are, and even fewer know how to interpret them. These entrepreneurs never make a profit. They do not create value in their company. They are constantly out of cash.

THE THREE PILLARS

PAST - Profit & Loss

PRESENT - Balance Sheet

FUTURE - Cash Flow Forecast

In this episode we are going to DEEP DIVE into each statement to make it explicitly clear how to understand and interpret each. You may not want to know this BUT YOU NEED TO!

Do not rely on your Accountant as they do not know how to use these in your business.

Successful Entrepreneurs are fluent in finance. You MUST be too.

EP#12 MEET THE PROFESSIONALS24 Apr 202200:29:24

MEET THE PROFESSIONALS - £60,000 AND 18 MONTHS INTO 30 MINUTES (FOR FREE)

Once in place, you will have EVERYTHING you need to maximise your margins, do less, get paid more and sleep soundly at night. What’s more is this solution has never been more obtainable and affordable.

MEET THE PROFESSIONALS

It cost me over £60,000 and took me 18 months to find the solution which I am sharing with you for FREE in just 30 minutes. By the end of this podcast you will know how to implement a WORLD CLASS, HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEAM to run all of your finances for you allowing you to gain more clarity than ever before, increasing your margins and reducing your stress levels.

Right people, right job right price! Do not let the wool be pulled over your eyes. It is more simple than you think.

EP#11 DELEGATE YOUR PAYMENTS17 Apr 202201:08:35
DELEGATE YOUR PAYMENTS FRAUD DETECTED - ONLINE BANKING BLOCKED - GO TO BRANCH

Too many entrepreneurs are stuck making the payments in their business as they cannot see how they could possibly outsource this WITHOUT increasing the risk to them and their business.

You NEED to delegate this to a team member so you can focus on HIGH VALUE tasks. Payroll, supplier payments, ad hoc payments can all be delegated with MINIMAL RISK.

No more logging in on holiday to pay your team! This system covers all bases. There is no one size fits all. Select the right solution for your business.

I tried to make my first payment in around 2 years last month. It should have taken 2 minutes. The bank blocked me but instantly rang me, leaving me on hold for an hour. They then told me I needed to go to the branch to get the bank unblocked. What should have been a 2 minute job turned into a 3 hour experience all to transfer £750

NEVER AGAIN!

Use this system to effectively Delegate Your Payments once and for all.

EP#10 YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO10 Apr 202200:26:55
YOU CAN’T AFFORD NOT TO - FIVE LINES YOU NEED IN YOUR P&L

I CAN’T AFFORD THAT!!

You can’t afford not to…

Most entrepreneurs are majoring in minor things. Spending time, money and resources on ‘nice to haves’ in their business without realising what is actually important and will serve them for years to come.

In this episode, I will reveal FIVE line items that you NEED in your P&L this year. These items are investments and not costs and if you do not have them you will likely struggle to achieve what you set out to in 2022.

Think you can’t afford them? You cannot afford not to have them!

All successful entrepreneurs spend heavily in these areas, and guess what you can have the same benefits for a fraction of the spend! As an FD these are rarely items I will ever advise that we minimise or cut back.

Enjoy the episode and please comment with any items you believe are items your business cannot live without.

EP#9 NEW YEAR, NEW FORECAST03 Apr 202200:27:51

THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY - NEW YEAR, NEW FORECAST

Most entrepreneurs make arbitrary commitments focused on sales and growth for the year ahead. They show up and hope for the best. How often can you honestly say that what you hoped would happen in the next 12 months actually did?

On ULTIMATE FD we work meticulously with clients to ensure they have a 12 month forecast for each of their businesses signed off by the 1st April. Every element is considered and they know (to the penny) exactly what they need to do to achieve exactly what they want every month without fail.

Most importantly, they know exactly what they will draw by when meaning their business finally starts to pay them for the hours and hours of hard work they plow in.

DO NOT MISS THE BOAT

By the end of this podcast you will know our unique, proven, and simple methodology to forecast your results for the next financial year ahead. This will be your best year on record if you follow this simple methodology.

Best of luck.

EP#8 SELLING MY BUSINESS27 Mar 202200:36:31

SELLING MY BUSINESS - EXCLUSIVE, BEHIND THE SCENES

DO I REGRET IT?

Selling my business was easily the hardest decision I EVER made and for most entrepreneurs it will be. 

Do you sit behind the safety net of a brilliant business or do what you think is right and take the plunge into the abyss?

I shared publicly that as of 31st December 2021, I sold my largest business and since sharing, I have had a flurry of private messages from people asking lots of different questions:

  • Why did I sell?
  • What was the state of the business when I sold it?
  • What will you do now? 
  • Should I sell mine? 
  • How do I max out my price? What multiplier will I get? 

In this episode I am going to go behind the scenes and answer all of these questions. I am going to be open, honest, transparent and some of the responses may not exactly be as you would expect.

Listen to the end to get top tips and honest feedback on whether three months on it is a decision I live to regret.

LIVING AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE - SIX MONTHS INTO RETIREMENT

Adam sold his business in 2020 and now he is living an extraordinary life of fun, snow, sea, sand, travelling the world and ticking off his bucket list and has been doing so for the last 6 months. 

In this episode we get behind the scenes with Adam to actually understand what doing this is like in practice and if the realities of retirement are all that they are cracked up to be. In addition, we are going to talk about how Adam actually achieved retirement over a 10-15 year process and how you can do the same too. 

Adam’s life on Instagram is something to be highly envious of; but it is also something that is actually quite achievable if you are clever, savvy and you use some of the investing tips and tricks within our podcast to achieve them.

Please note this is NOT investing advice. Everyone is different and you need to find your own course; but if you take some of this, apply it and are patient. You are likely to see a shift towards a lifestyle that you could only ever dream of.

In this episode we are going to talk about:

  • How Adam lives
  • How he got there
  • Inflation anxiety
  • Compound Interest
  • Becoming a Millionaire
  • What life is actually like in retirement
  • The pitfalls, if any
  • The investing in the Stock-market and Crypto

This really is one for those who are really looking to go on a journey to achieve their absolute world-class dream lifestyle and it is very interesting to go behind the scenes with someone who has actually done it in practice. 

Tune in, listen and remember this is NOT investment advice.

EP#4 GOING BROKE SUCCESSFULLY27 Feb 202201:41:57

GOING BROKE SUCCESSFULLY - PLAY THE GAME WHEN YOUR CHIPS ARE DOWN

EVERY ENTREPRENEUR NEEDS TO KNOW THIS

Entrepreneurs are eternally optimistic, but 60% of businesses will go bust in their first 3 years. Even if you do not go broke, you will likely experience an element of financial hardship at some point on your journey.

Extra liquidity in the markets will cause more businesses than ever to experience real financial hardship in the next 12-24 months as they have to repay bounce back loans and CBILS.

You need to know how the tools you have available when your back is against the wall. What does the worst case look like? What does going broke actually mean to you and what are the implications?

In no way are we suggesting that you should go broke, or aim to go broke. However, we want you to understand what going broke actually looks like in practice so that if you are ever caught in this situation, you don’t bury your head in the sand, you reach out to the experts who can help. 

Going broke may not be the worst thing in the world and it may not be as bad as you think. You need this tool in your entrepreneurial toolbox and you need to understand how it works in practice so that if you are ever faced with this scenario, you can manage it effectively and professionally without panic. 

In this special episode we have Mike Chamberlain joining us. Mike is an Insolvency Practitioner with decades of experience and knows all that there is to know about this subject. Mike knows the ins and outs and you are in safe hands and the right place if you want to pick up this new skill set on your entrepreneurs’ journey.

UNTETHERED - BEHIND THE SCENES WITH THE ULTIMATE FD

I ALMOST DID NOT RELEASE THIS

Surrendering to the microphone can be a scary thing. This episode was recorded without a plan or agenda. It was almost never released. After re-listening, I decided that there is some value in there, not simply ramblings of a mad man.

This was recorded 4 weeks after selling my business, and is a reflection on where my life is at now and how my journey is unfolding and progressing.

We touch on so many parts of entrepreneurship and life in this short, sweet episode, including:

  • Selling a company
  • Never getting ‘there’
  • Spirituality
  • Marathon training
  • 3 day working week
  • Babies and business
  • Investing
  • Adding value to others

This is raw, unplugged, behind the scenes.

I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

In this episode we are joined by published author, financial advisor and self confessed potty mouth Damien Fogg who retired at the tender age of 32.

EP#1 LEASE VS BUY30 Jan 202200:57:09
LEASE VS BUY - DRIVE YOUR DREAM CAR

Want to drive your dream car for 50% of the cost?

This podcast came out of total frustration. I was frustrated with trying to understand how I should purchase my dream car as a Limited Company, Director. 

  • Should I lease it?
  • Should I buy it?
  • Should I have it in my personal name? 
  • Should I have it my business name?
  • Should I Hire Purchase it? 

All of these things are hard to understand and the answers always seem to be inconclusive. I wish, I had this podcast before I actually leased my car; because, if I had listened to this, I would have taken different actions to optimise and save tax and buy my car in the most efficient way. 

It is easy to save 30-50% of the cost of your car, just by taking on the simple advice in this podcast. 

I am going to be joined by a very special guest, John Pratt who is a good friend and my Tax Advisor to talk us through and make this seemingly complicated subject, very simple. 

Listen to this so that you can drive your dream car at a fraction of the price!

Josh started, scaled, systemized and sold a business and whilst simultaneously building a property portfolio that after applying the Financial Fortress Blueprint allowed him to reach financial independence and retire at the age of 33.

Josh explains what it takes to go on a journey from absolutely nothing to the top of the property entrepreneur pyramid. He has achieved something that very few people in their lives will achieve, which is the ability to have a Financial Fortress that creates passive income that exceeds your living costs and for the rest of his life, he'll be able to live off the steam.
