Master Your Cashflow (Templates Included): https://startup-ideas-pod.link/money-map On this episode, I share my simple financial operating system that helps me run my business. I share actual workflows that have saved one of my portfolio company from an 11-week runway crisis (when they thought they had 8 months), and the templates behind his 13-week cash tracker, Bear/Base/Bull decision framework, and one-page board report. This is a rare look inside the tactics I use to think about cash flow, dilution strategy, and building companies that don't run out of runway by accident.

What if your entire market has fewer than 100 LOs? Is hiring a recruiter still worth it? In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk through the exact framework for determining whether a recruiter is the right move in a small market. I cover the systems, mindset, math, and sequencing that make it work, and share a real-world story of one leader who turned 85 LOs into 9 hires in 12 months. This isn't about headcount. It's about mastery, clarity, and building a system that multiplies your time. Episode Breakdown [00:00] The Question – Is it worth hiring a recruiter if I only have 70 to 100 loan officers in my area? [01:00] Why Market Size Is the Wrong Lens – It's not how many LOs exist, it's how many are aligned and how strong your system is [02:00] Visibility vs. True Recruiting – Reaching out once is not recruiting. You need consistent, structured engagement [02:30] Real Story: Midwest Leader With 85 LOs – After mapping the market, he realized very few LOs had received consistent value or follow-up [03:30] Question 1: Is Recruiting a Top 3 Priority? – If not, a recruiter becomes an admin, not a multiplier [04:00] Question 2: Do You Have a System? – CRM, avatar, cadence, scripting, follow-up, all must be in place before hiring [04:45] Question 3: Are You Recruiting for Fit or Volume? – In small markets, alignment is more important than raw production [05:20] Question 4: Can You Tell a Clear Story? – If your recruiter can't communicate your value clearly, you'll lose to comp-focused competitors [06:00] The Math That Makes It Work 3 key hires = $60K/month revenue $720K annually More than enough to justify the hire [06:30] What a Recruiter Should Be – Not a cold caller, but a connector who runs value plays and books warm calls [07:00] When to Delay the Hire – If your system is messy or undefined, wait. Build first. Then hire [07:30] Real Results – The Midwest leader built a system first, hired a recruiter second, and scaled to 9 hires in a "too small" market [08:00] Action Steps Build a clean LO list Document your recruiting message Create a 90-day value-add follow-up plan Prove it works Hire a recruiter to run the top of funnel [09:30] Closing Thought – You don't need more market. You need more mastery. Strategy wins, not size Key Takeaways It's Not About Market Size. It's About Market Mastery – A recruiter in a small market works if the system is already built Recruiting Must Be a Top Priority – No hire can replace your ownership of the vision Build First, Hire Second – Document your message, process, and rhythms before bringing someone in Focus on Alignment Over Volume – In a small market, values and vision matter more than raw numbers Your Story Wins the Game – When your message is clear, your recruiter becomes a magnet, not a salesperson A small market doesn't limit your impact. Lack of clarity does. Build the system. Then scale it with the right partner. Want help building your recruiting system so a recruiter can multiply it?

If you are feeling stuck after you launch your business - maybe around $40 - $60K - it's very likely a fear of success that is holding you back, not a fear of failure. Sneaky thoughts like "I'm not good with money" or "no one could ever sell as good as me" or "I'm the only one who can make my product" or "I'm not good at managing people" are likely keeping your business small so that you can avoid the things that often come with success. On today's podcast I share with you some fears that came from CPG founders just like you on a recent Master Your Business call and what do to about them so you can get to the next level in your business.

What if sharing a car and knocking on doors as a student became the launch pad for a six‑figure business? In today's conversation, Steve welcomes Eric Fraser — once a rookie branch manager with the YEAA program (via Student Painters) and now the founder of PitStop Mobile Oil Change. Eric drops the story of how he and his brother shared one vehicle, hustled through logistics and cold‑calling, and eventually scaled a mobile oil‑change business to nearly $750K in revenue. They explore the mindset of radical responsibility, the value of early accountability, and how hard‑earned habits from a summer business translate into both corporate and entrepreneurial success. Listen now to avoid staying stuck in "what‐if" mode, gain a unique blueprint you won't read in textbooks, and commit to the kind of execution that turns ideas into action.

His blend of operational discipline, sales grit and leadership mindset offers a rare blueprint for students, corporate professionals and entrepreneurs alike.

This is a super short episode today in honour of my son Jairus who died this day 6 years ago. And in honour of myself and my choice to keep living fully and thriving forward beyond grief and trauma.The thoughts you think regularly or allow to run unchecked are not neutral. They have the power to harm or help you. It's critical that you notice your thoughts, learn to interrupt unhealthy thought patterns, and intentionally plant and water affirming and life-giving thoughts.Even 30 seconds or three minutes a day will help intentional thoughts put down deep roots and bear fruit in time. Take good care of yourself. You matter. Krista xoNOTE: Regarding the number of thoughts we have each day, sources differ and offer ranges of 6k to 60K/day. Midlife women are chronically hard on themselves. But everything in life feels lighter and easier when we're on our own side.

Tom shares how BitMine transformed into the largest corporate holder of Ethereum globally, and why digital asset treasury companies DATs could serve as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized networks.The conversation covers Ethereum's “ChatGPT moment,” the regulatory unlock of 2025, and why institutional investors may prefer equity-wrapped crypto exposure. Tom also lays out a bold vision in which Ethereum surpasses Bitcoin in market cap and becomes the financial internet's base layer — absorbing everything from stablecoins and tokenized assets to staking, liquidity backstops, and even prediction markets.The trio also examines risk dynamics, corporate strategy, and the architectural differences between proof-of-work and proof-of-stake systems as Wall Street starts to build on-chain.Key Points From This Episode:00:00:00 How BitMine evolved from a small miner into the largest Ethereum-holding DAT.00:03:00 Why BitMine's ETH per share jumped 9x in 8 weeks — and what's next.00:06:30 Why DATs exist at all — and why they're crucial for institutional access.00:08:05 Ethereum's “ChatGPT moment”: Stablecoins as breakout crypto products.00:10:29 How BitMine solved a regulatory bottleneck for ARK's crypto exposure.00:14:54 The flippage theory: Why Tom believes ETH will surpass Bitcoin.00:19:34 Proof-of-stake vs. proof-of-work: Comparing network resilience and incentives.00:24:06 Targeting 5% of ETH supply: How much is too much for a DAT?00:28:48 How BitMine is like a “reverse bank” — and why that earns it a NAV premium.00:33:16 What could dethrone BitMine's lead? The tech risk and Solana wildcard.00:38:47 Ethereum can't hold everything: Why multiple chains will exist.00:50:27 How tokenization unlocks transparency, pricing, and global efficiency.00:54:03 Tom's 2030 forecast: Ethereum at $60K and digital treasuries worth $5T.
How much passive income would you need to retire early? $60K/year? $80K/year? $100K/year? What if you could build a financially freeing passive income stream in just five years? Five years from now, you could retire early, quit your job, or keep building wealth. What would that freedom feel like? Joe Hammel has already achieved it, using a simplistic, beginner-friendly “bread and butter” rental strategy. Today, he's generating $115,000/year in pure cash flow from his rentals, just five years after buying his first rental. In this episode, Joe shares exactly how he grew his six-figure passive income stream and the exact blueprint you can use to replicate it. Joe invests in a market that real estate investors used to laugh at—Detroit. However, the tables are now turning, as Detroit continues to see solid appreciation, cash flow, and affordable prices. Joe buys houses for $100,000 (yes, even today), often using the “slow BRRRR strategy”, and rents them out for well above his costs. He says out-of-state investors can do this easily as well, and he has helped dozens repeat his system. This could be your path to achieving financial freedom in under a decade, just like Joe! In This Episode We Cover The “bread and butter” rentals beginners can buy to build passive income streams Why Joe says Detroit is such a solid real estate investing market (especially now) Using the “slow BRRRR” method to build wealth faster and increase your equity The best rental property types to target (for beginner investors, especially!) How to invest in affordable markets even if you live hours away And So Much More!

Dave has had an incredible journey since joining the Wealth Codes, creating $87,000 in just 8 weeks and the story of how it all unfolded is nothing short of inspiring!

The power of Human Design and the Gene Keys; how reconnecting with his design gave Dave the clarity and courage to create results that seemed impossible.

Faith, self-recognition, and alignment — the keys that allowed Dave to manifest both a viral YouTube video and life-changing income.

There's nothing quite like walking into a listing appointment prepared, only to have the seller slide an appraisal across the table before you can even share your thoughts. In this episode, we dive deep into the sometimes-helpful, often-headache-inducing world of pre-listing appraisals in real estate. Alissa shares a couple of jaw-dropping pricing stories, including one where she was blindsided by an appraisal that came in a full $60K over her estimate—and how she ended up taking the listing anyway (spoiler: she regrets it). Katy and Alissa get real about the pros and cons of pre-listing appraisals, when they're appropriate, and how they can be both a tool and a trap. You'll also hear two real-life case studies that show how appraisals can drastically impact seller expectations—and what happens when those numbers just don't line up with the market. From lessons learned the hard way to advice you can use in your next listing appointment, this episode is packed with insight, encouragement, and some painful pricing truth. If you've ever struggled to price a property—or convince a seller that their home isn't worth what Zillow (or their appraiser) says—this one's for you. Here's what we chat about in this episode: What is a pre-listing appraisal and why would a seller get one? Real-life pricing fails (and what we learned from them) Why appraisals aren't always reliable in shifting markets How to talk to sellers about appraisals without losing the listing Why CMAs and appraisals rarely match Specific scripts and verbiage to use when appraisals go wrong The pros and cons of recommending an appraisal yourself How to position yourself as the pricing expert—even when the appraiser disagrees Tips for navigating seller emotions and stubborn pricing Key Quotes/Takeaways “I should've gone in with my Alissa mentality: tell them the truth and let the chips fall.” – Alissa “Appraisers are only using data from homes that actually sold. They're not accounting for what's sitting on the market today.” – Katy “I prayed I was wrong, but the market proved me right—and the house sat for months.” – Alissa “Sometimes the appraisal says 510 and your gut says 450… and you take the listing anyway. Don't do that.” – Katy “You can get five appraisers and five different values. Your job is to be the constant.” – Alissa Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned: Build Your Own Business 101 (BYOB) Email Templates 101 Agent Systems 101 Buyer & Seller Checklists Want to chat with us?

This week on the podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome back a fan favorite—Kara Ward of Lemons to Lemonade Home. If you missed her first appearance, you'll definitely want to check out Episode 180, where she shared her incredible journey from working with Dave Ramsey to launching a successful YouTube channel all about furniture flipping. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode214 In this new conversation, Kara walks us through the massive shifts she's made in her business—from rebranding her channel to expanding income streams, embracing Amazon's newest tools, and even how she automates her brand partnerships. Let's just say: if you've been looking for real-talk insight on how creators are actually earning online today (without doing all the things), this episode is packed with gold. From Furniture Flipping to Full-Time Creator Kara originally built her channel under the name Lemons to Lemonade Furniture, but recently made the shift to Lemons to Lemonade Home—a change that reflects not only her evolving content, but also a realistic pivot as she shares: “I'm 47 now and flipping furniture in 100° Texas heat just isn't sustainable forever.” This rebrand gives her the flexibility to show more sides of her life—motherhood, homeschooling, DIY projects, and everyday home inspiration—while still staying true to her roots in creative content. Takeaway: Your brand name can grow with you. You don't have to stay stuck in a box you outgrew years ago. YouTube: Her #1 Income Source Kara doesn't just dabble in YouTube—she's built a full-time income from her channel. In fact, YouTube ad revenue and sponsorships make up 80% of her monthly income. She shared how she landed a consistent stream of monthly sponsors through a talent manager and how just one viral video landed her a spot on the roster of her dream brand agency. But Kara was clear: you don't need 100K subscribers to get brand deals. Engagement matters more than numbers. “I only had around 60K when they reached out,” she says, “but my videos had consistent views and hundreds of comments.” What's New on YouTube? YouTube's latest game-changer? YouTube Shopping—a feature that allows creators to tag products directly in their videos. While Amazon links aren't supported yet, other platforms like Walmart and Lowe's are fair game. Kara uses this tool to highlight everything from her go-to sprayer to the pink toolbox in her background. Even her subscribers watching on a smart TV can now shop directly from the screen. Pro tip: YouTube is making it easier than ever to earn while you create. If you're already making videos, this is worth exploring. Amazon: Doubling (and Tripling) Her Income Kara's also crushing it on Amazon with both affiliate and influencer programs. She uses Creator Connections (Amazon's brand-driven bonus campaign system) to bump her commissions up to 20–30%—instead of the usual 2–4%. But digging through campaigns manually was a hassle… until she found Oink. "In my first week using the Oink extension, I made back the $29.99 subscription and then some." – Kara Ward Oink is a Chrome extension that scans your Amazon storefront, identifies what products qualify for bonuses, and accepts the campaigns for you—automatically. Total game-changer. The Truth About Niching Down There was a time when sticking to one niche was the golden rule. But Kara believes those days are behind us. “I don't think you have to stay in a tiny content box anymore,” she says. “Once you pull people in, they want to know more about you—your home, your family, your life.” While her content still centers around furniture and DIY, she sprinkles in real-life moments—like homeschooling updates and behind-the-scenes snippets—that build connection and trust. How Kara Promotes Her Content Even without a website or email list (yet!), Kara has found success promoting her content using: Instagram Stories – with countdowns and teaser clips Facebook – where she's nearing 100K followers YouTube Community tab – polls, video reminders, and feedback requests Bottom line: you don't need every platform, but you do need to consistently invite people into your world. Kara's Advice for Creators: Monetize what you're already doing. If you're using Amazon products, why not earn on them? Stay focused. Build one stream of income until it's nearly on autopilot before adding another. Don't wait for perfect numbers. One engaged community is more powerful than vanity metrics. Automate what you can. From Oink to brand management, systems make growth sustainable.

What happens when your newly updated sales funnel “should” be working, the leads are rolling in, and everyone says they're ready… but almost no one buys? How do you handle the biggest sales slump you've had all year? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I turned the slowest start to a month this year into our highest cash month to date—from $6K in the first 12 days to nearly $60K by the 31st. Spoiler: It didn't happen by chasing trends, burning everything down, or throwing more money at ads. I walk you through the six strategic shifts (plus one bonus move) that created the breakthrough, starting with a personal realignment in my spiritual life and leading into CEO-level decisions that refined my funnel, optimized our follow-up, elevated our offer suite, and re-centered how I show up as a leader. If you're sick of chasing trends and craving sustainable growth that honors both your mission and your margin, no matter what's happening week to week in your business, this episode is for you. Timeline Highlights [00:00] From 20 qualified leads and 1 sale to a record-breaking $60K month—how I transformed August in 18 days. [02:31] Step 1: Reclaiming my spiritual foundation and how reconnecting with God re-centered my identity and decision-making. [17:23] Step 2: Rebuilt my funnel (again) by ditching “proven” advice and trusting my instinct to speak to real buyers, not browsers. [27:23] Step 3: Slashed ad spend by 50% because scaling a broken funnel doesn't fix anything. [29:40] Step 4: Recommitted to sales calls and showing up for potential clients and leading decisively. [33:13] Step 5: Installed a 7-day deadline with automated follow-up so I'm no longer nurturing indecision. [39:21] Step 6: Created a high-ticket, done-for-you offer for clients who don't want DIY, serving those ready for full-service support. [43:21] Bonus step 7: Made it easier for action-takers to apply quickly, removing friction for my most aligned leads. Top 5 Quotes from This Episode "Your identity should not be in your business, because if it is, it doesn't matter how good your business is, you're always going to be disappointed." "I really had to get my identity back into my relationship with God and not into the sales numbers, the revenue goals, or even the reputation I have online." "Sometimes leadership as a CEO means stepping back into parts of your business you were hoping to get out of because that's what's required to make sales." "It wasn't luck. It wasn't just from manifesting. I had to do a lot of work, and I had to make CEO-level decisions." "Being able to respond, not react, is what allows you to grow month after month, year after year without rebuilding from scratch every 90 days." Closing Remarks I hope this conversation gave you not only tactical insight but a deeper sense of permission to lead from alignment, not urgency. Remember: Cold streaks don't define you as a CEO. Your ability to recalibrate and lead with discernment does. If this episode spoke to where you are right now, I'd love for you to share it with a fellow coach or practitioner who's building their online business with the same integrity and vision. And if you haven't yet, take a moment to rate, follow, and review the show—it helps more mission-driven leaders like you find this space.

This week we have a bunch of questions on the subject of inheritance tax, trusts and estate planning. Fair to say, these stretched us quite a bit and we had some surprises as we researched the answers! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA23 01:45 Question 1 Hi Pete & Rodger Love the podcast as it has loads of useful information and you make it very simple (as it can be) and clear. Love how you bounce off each other and make it easy to listen to. My question is - I have a reasonably large SIPP that will if added to my house value push me well over the 1 million level. I see a lot of press articles about how it would be good to start reducing estates that are in this position to mitigate possible IHT. My stance is that I am only 60 married and feel that - 1. It's too early to know what the new rules will look like 2. If I die before 75 and my SIPP goes to my wife she can pull whatever out tax free (currently) and gift some IHT free, as long as she lasts 7 years. 3. If my wife dies first I can do some gifting at that stage to reduce estate / possible house downsize to give large gift again with the 7 year IHT rule. Why do anything at this stage that would incur a tax charge? Your thoughts on this approach would be very much appreciated. Kind regards, Jules 07:08 Question 2 Gents, Outstanding podcast which I have listened to for years from overseas in the Middle East. The thing I like most is your consistent message about simplicity, being intentional and using low cost funds. Every season reinforces financial education and I never tire of listening to you. Thank you. I have a general question that I thought might possibly apply to other listeners regarding income drawdown ie should I use my pension pot or ISA money first? My situation is slightly complicated as my personal allowance will be used up by a DB pension. I will have a DB pension at age 55 (approx £30k) plus I have a DC pension pot plus an ISA. If I would like a retirement income (pre-tax) of say £60K (ie over the current 40% tax rate threshold), what is the most tax efficient way of drawing the income? I'm aware that in future my pension will be liable to IHT so in essence could take a 40% hit on death. Should I take all additional income from my ISA until that runs out or take money from the pension pot up to the 40% tax rate band (approx £50k) and use the ISA thereafter to save me paying 40% tax on any pension pot money? Are there any online calculators that can help as I guess it's partly just maths? Many thanks, Ian 13:48 Question 3 Dear Pete and Roger, My mum passed away over a decade ago and since then my dad has met a new partner. They live together and own their own home, split 60% (my dad), 40% (his partner). He has said a “trust” has been set up so that should one of them die, the other can live it for as long as they want before it is sold and the money passed to their children. With some research, I think he might just mean a “declaration of trust” but I am unsure. I just want to know if there is anything I should be aware in terms of inheritance tax to make sure his (and my mum's) residence nil rate bands are still in place, as I remember you saying on a previous episode of the podcast that if a house is left “in trust”, it would wipe out the residents nil rate bands. The house is valued at approximately £725k and my dad's assets (including his share of the house) would be about £850k. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge, really enjoy the podcast. Steven 21:40 Question 4 Hello Pete & Roger Listening to you both has completely turned my future retirement around! My trajectory is now very positive as I'm building a decent DC pot to supplement my DB pension several years before I qualify for state pension. That's not just great financial progress, it's the life enhancement of 4 additional years of retirement at a time when im most likely able to make the most of it! Complete game changer with some knowledge and commitment to build a better future. Now, a query on the definition of income from the perspective of the gifts from surplus income exemption from IHT…….. Does regular (quarterly) UFPLS withdrawals count as income for these purposes? I know these gifts need to be from income-they can't be from capital withdrawals. However, when I take regular UFPLS withdrawals, am I taking capital withdrawals? I'm effectively selling down assets to get the UFPLS payments so really don't know if this is income or capital withdrawal for gifting purposes. Keep up the fabulous work. Thanks, Duncan 24:20 Question 5 Hi There Pete and Rodger, Long time listener, first time caller - been listening to and recommending your podcast to friends, family and colleagues for some time now! Keep up the great work! My question relates to Inheritance tax and is a question my mother has been wrestling with for some time. Long story short, my parents emigrated to south Africa from Scotland in the 80's where I was born - sadly my father past away when I was an infant. My mother remarried a South African gent and we all then came back to the England on a business secondment that never ended. My mother and adoptive father then divorced - over 20 years ago now! (Maybe not so short!) My mother has been getting her affairs in order (not due ill health - more my nagging after your fine education via the podcast). She discovered that due to the value of her house and savvy savings she may have an IHT issue. (I've told her to spend the lot!) The question she has been trying to get a straight answer about is whether she would be eligible to transfer the unused portion of my late father's basic threshold to limit her IHT exposure. Not sure this is in your wheelhouse given the complexities of foreign countries, remarriage etc. but hoped you might be able to point us in the right direction. She is hoping to get something in writing which solicitors seem to be reticent to do. Thanks again for the sterling work and look forward to many more episodes in the future! Kind regards, Craig Bell 31:18 Question 6 Hi there, thanks for a great podcast. I am a 67 yr old single woman with no children. I have 2 DB pensions + state pension, on which I live comfortably and can afford holidays etc. I have always been an investor and have £270k in stocks & shares ISAs. My house is worth £250k. As there are no direct descendants my estate will be liable for IHT under the new rules. Obviously I'd like to avoid that or reduce the amount payable, if possible. I have nieces and nephews who are at that stage of life at which a financial helping hand would be a great benefit, so can I do that without falling foul of the taxman? I do use the £3k gift tax allowance, but (ideally would like to give away £100 k). Is there a tax efficient way of doing that? Thanks for your help. J Harvey
