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.

| EP# 27 CRACK THE CODE | 07 Aug 2022 | 00:41:33 | |
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…
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! | |||

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

| EP#14 BE YOUR BEST CUSTOMER | 08 May 2022 | 00:23:04 | |
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 PILLARS | 01 May 2022 | 00:29:25 | |
THE THREE PILLARS - BORING EPISODE ALERT - DO NOT LISTEN This episode is NOT for everyone.

| EP#12 MEET THE PROFESSIONALS | 24 Apr 2022 | 00:29:24 | |
MEET THE PROFESSIONALS - £60,000 AND 18 MONTHS INTO 30 MINUTES (FOR FREE) Most entrepreneurs are doing the accounts themselves (badly) or overpaying to have them outsourced (badly).

| EP#11 DELEGATE YOUR PAYMENTS | 17 Apr 2022 | 01:08:35 | |
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! | |||

YOU CAN’T AFFORD NOT TO - FIVE LINES YOU NEED IN YOUR P&L I CAN’T AFFORD THAT!! Most entrepreneurs are majoring in minor things.

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.

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.

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.

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.
