Podcasts about Above the line

Send us a textIn 2015, Fairfax criminal lawyer Jon Katz finished court earlier than expected, and beelined to the Mindful Leadership conference in Crystal City, Virginia, in part to meet speaker Roshi Joan Halifax. Snagging a ticket to this soldout event, Jon met Roshi Joan, and also sat mesmerized by speaker Jim Dethmer's (co-founder of the Conscious Leadership Group) talk about conscious leadership, and about the difference between leading from above the line (where one is open, curious, and not attacking) versus from below the line. This conscious leadership approach is fully addressed in The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, by Jim Dethmer, Diana Chapman, and Kaley Warner Klemp. The challenges abound for criminal defense lawyers and their clients to get sidetracked by actually or apparently slinged mud, heartlessness, dehumanization efforts, underhandedness and prevarication from various quarters in the courthouse and beyond. Getting angry and misdirected is weakening. Smiling in the face of proverbial flying vomit and diarrhea -- when knowing the possibilities of sweet success that may be right around the corner -- is the powerful way to proceed. Conscious Leadership's Deb Katz pulls no punches in addressing how she transitioned from years of proceeding as an unconscious leader to a conscious one. She talks about how it is possible to say f--k you from above the line, and how sweetness does not automatically put one above the line. Deb addresses how Conscious Leadership draws on numerous pre-existing approaches to leading in a beneficial way. She and Jon both benefit from the teachings and practices of Ho'oponopono, which is featured on a previous Beat The Prosecution podcast episode. This conversation between Jon Katz and Deb Katz (same last name, but no close family connection) dives deep into transitioning into the conscious leadership approach. The universal and Apple podcasts URL for this episode are at https://podcast.beattheprosecution.com/2293867/episodes/15777966 and https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beat-the-prosecution/id1721413675?i=1000669998168This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

We welcome back the ever-popular Billie Anne Grigg, Profit First Professional's Chief Profit Guide. Together, Danielle and Billie Anne dive into the intriguing world of "above the line" expenses within the Profit First framework. The episode covers above-the-line expenses, such as materials, subcontractor costs, pass-through expenses, franchise fees, and more.  They also emphasize the importance of understanding your financial numbers and owning allocation day to achieve permanent profitability. IN THIS EPISODE: [00:55] - Explanation of "above the line" expenses and real revenue. [01:47] - Common mistakes made with above-the-line expenses. [03:27] - Handling W-2 employees and commissions. [06:16] - The importance of pass-through expenses. [06:56] - Managing franchise fees. [07:50] - The role of a deposit account in organizing expenses. [09:00] - Simplifying allocation day using a spreadsheet. [12:19] - The freedom and clarity Profit First brings to managing finances. [14:02] - Success stories of large businesses implementing Profit First. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Above-the-line expenses should be items directly tied to revenue, such as materials, subcontractor costs, pass-through expenses, and franchise fees. These should be deducted from total revenue before determining real revenue. Profit First simplifies financial management by reducing the need for complex budgets and allowing you to focus on one key number – the total amount available for allocation. Profit First is not just for small businesses; it's essential for large businesses, especially due to the complexities involved in managing cash flow and expenses. The principles of Profit First can benefit businesses of all sizes.   GUEST BIOGRAPHY: Billie Anne Grigg   Billie Anne has been a bookkeeper since before the turn of the century.

Check this out, I asked Ziglar listeners this question, “Throughout a given day, do you generally behave as you intend to? If/when you don’t, what tends to derail you?” As responses started pouring in, a very common thread was “people”. So I gave a follow up question, “When you get upset with people, does your emotion come from Fear or Pride? Fear = abandonment, rejection, loss. Pride = justice, fairness, enabling. I asked Stephen & Mara Klemich to join me, they were my recent guests in show 753 where we discussed how our behavior is explained by four principles, the message in their new book, “Above The Line.” As we went through many of the responses, what we came out with was this; what derails people most from the behavior they would wish to exemplify is, lack of control. Whether it is people or circumstances, lack of control is the main culprit. Why is this? Listen in as Stephen and Mara deftly guide us in understanding the root issue. And friends, if you have not yet taken their Heartstyles Indicator assessment, normally only available to if you buy their book.

Episode 4 of the Personalized Learning Department podcast, Above The Line, is now available. Join us for the “Ready For Change” episode in which we focus on how to keep your iPadOS and apps up-to-date for top performance and access to all new iPad and app features and amazing new updates to our core apps Seesaw and Flipgrid that allow for more teacher and student customization. We also share multiple ways to organize your classroom for personalized learning, including tips on how to record great audio on student projects on the iPad. Our staff highlight this month focuses on two high school teachers who share their favorite Schoology features and tips for teachers on how to get started with Schoology in the classroom.

Your time, especially your personal time, has three components. The time you give to “I”, yourself, is vitally necessary. “We” time would be working together or parenting or the duties of life, even social engagements. “Us” is intentional, focused time on the relationship, like “date night”. This highlights the Relationship spoke on the Ziglar Wheel of life for Stephen & Mara Klemich, my guests from show 753 where we talked about the four principles of behavior that rule our lives, from their book, “Above The Line”. This is my first time going the Habits show with a couple and it was valuable to hear how they make room to accommodate differing habits to cater to their differing personalities. We also discussed Mara’s three bouts with cancer, the challenge of living up to their own message, and the reality that these authors and speakers are, as they say, “dreadful introverts.” I think you will enjoy and get much value from auditing this couple’s habits. To quickly reference show 753 with the Klemichs where we talked about their revolutionary Heartstyles Indicator assessment, it is only available to those who purchase the Klemich’s new book, “Above The Line”. But for Ziglar listeners, I asked them to make it available immediately and at no cost. They are doing so for a month, from Jan. 25, 2020, to Feb. 25, 2020.

Welcome to episode one of "Above The Line". In this episode we speak with Lucy Fisher CEO and Director of the Gold Coast Film Festival.Definition of Bechdel Test: A tool used to determine whether or not women are portrayed in sexist and or characterised by gender stereotyping ways. To pass the Bechdel test a work must feature at least two named women, these women must talk to each other, and their conversation must concern something other than a man.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0325, And It Will Be About Construction Company Marketing - Leads, Customers, And Clients It takes work to make the phone ring. It takes even more work to increase the sales ticket. Customers are looking for a contractor to do a little work. If you offer three options, do you find customers usually choose the middle option?    When trying someone new, they may go with a "Low Risk" by prepaying for services on a "Deal" on a contractor lead generation service. The deal allows them to set a "budget." It allows them to try you out before mentioning any additional details. Have you ever heard anything like this from a prospect: "Hello Contractor, I had nothing better to do this week, so I filled out your form and called you on the phone to ask you come to my house and while I act your tour guide because I am thinking of having some work done."? Not likely.   Most homeowners have a real need before asking for a stranger to come to their home. They are looking for any "Affinity" that makes you a safe choice. This is why people are on the Social Media sites looking for "A Friend" or "A Friend of a Friend" anything to get a primary connection; an opinion from someone else before inviting you into their home.   What They Are Thinking - "Contractor, You Are Here Because I Need The Following":   Type 1 Project - Immediate:  Work That Must Be Done   Type 2 Project - Soon:  Work I Should Have Done   Type 3 Project - Future:  Work I Want To Have Done   You are there looking for an opportunity to meet the right stable customer who is looking to become a good solid client. You know you have a client instead of a customer when they ask you about a Type 2 or Type 3 items on their list. Don't be afraid to bring out the estimate, change order form, or invoice. In most cases, they want you to write up the order, and if you do not get the paperwork started early, they often think you are rejecting them.   One of your greatest fears is wasting money on a less than good lead:    I have heard contractors think that on more substantial projects homeowners are "Just Getting Free Ideas" for someday when looking for a massive remodel, new deck or patio when the SCOPE of the project keeps expanding and the budget is shrinking. As a general rule, those are the exception. Consider charging a design fee.   They may or may not have any real desire for services. Sometimes a person is committed to collecting three bids when they already have someone picked out to do the work. They may be looking for a "temporary friend" to do them a favor or in some cases by the time you have completed the form they have changed their mind and no longer want service. This is often the case when one spouse or partner wants the work done, and the other one doesn't.   Do-It-Yourself Leads:    Anytime someone who fills out any website form you simply look at the information with a positive attitude. You are trying to understand does this person have a real need? Do they have a "Compelling Reason" a must-have or is it merely a whim, spur of the moment window shopping?   Your best course of action could be to begin thinking and planning about how you can adjust the schedule to fit their project in place — mentally gearing up on how you can provide the best possible service to that client. That means "A Client" not just "A Customer"; someone who is in the top 20% of the 80/20 Rule.   Marketing Service Leads:   Many Marketing Services assist in fine-tuning, changing, or updating your existing website to increase your search engine optimization (SEO) for more leads on your website. These marketing companies may have a web-based or desktop module for estimating, scheduling, or project management software that links to your existing website. Some software will connect to QuickBooks for Contractors; however, in most cases, they do more harm than good. Others will suggest their software provides invoicing, job costing, scheduling, and financials and QuickBooks is not needed.     Professional Lead Generating Services:    Professional lead services with filters and multiple forms try to weed out bogus leads for you. In other words, a professional lead service that pre-screens prospects and charges a "lead generating" fee may work best for you.   Discount Coupon Services:    Several companies offer this service. With the help of a sales representative you can determine the best "Deal" to extend your prospective customers to purchase online. Usually, these types of contractor lead-generation services deduct their fees and send the contractor the balance that is left over.   The benefit to contractors is a "Guaranteed Sale" usually at a "Fixed Price" for a predetermined "Scope of Work." Depending on the agreement between the contractor and the lead generation service, there could be opportunities for additional work. Be sure to keep some change order forms handy in case you need them. We have some FREE Change Order Templates you can download by clicking here. Also, if you need it, we have FREE Invoice templates you can download by clicking here.   Please note in most cases it is up to the contractor to invoice and collect for any services that exceed the amount covered in the "Discount Coupon" for services. It is okay if you want to do as much as possible in the shortest space of time to save the customer from exceeding the cost of the initial Coupon Deal. However, it is a shame not to fix everything while you are onsite because "Work Time" generally pays better than "Windshield Time."    There are several opportunities to add value with the intangibles: your warm and friendly personality, by asking the right questions you can demonstrate knowledge and skill which can often lead to increased sales.   Sales Tax Still Applies:    In most states and especially in Washington State, sales tax is due on the original purchase price of the "Deal" or "Coupon" or whatever term is used before deducting any lead generation fees.    The sales tax issue usually is not clearly understood or documented in the coupon details. Sometimes contractors and customers assume since the purchase was made online that sales tax does not apply. In a sales tax audit, the contractor is most likely to suffer massive fines and penalties which could destroy your construction company and everything you own. Again consult with your construction accountant.   Print Media:  Flyers and direct mail still works even in the age of "Everything Internet" we all receive a certain number of brochures and direct mail pieces coming to our home and business. One of the advantages is that these pieces are easy to find (we all have a particular spot for them) before they get moved and saved, filed, passed on to someone else, or eventually tossed away.    There is a marketing tool many of our contractor clients have used very effectively, which we call "Contractors Six Pack Marketing Tool," and it is totally Do-It-Yourself.  Conclusion: What Is The Focus Of Your Construction Company?   Residential or Commercial?  Do you like dealing with the Homeowners, Landlords, or Property Management Companies? Alternatively, are you a General Contractor or Specialty Trade Contractor? Do you enjoy new construction, commercial tenant improvements (T.I.'s), apartments, condominiums, Co-ops, remodels or service and repair? Marketing is all about doing something.   Are you reading the fine print? Are you locked into a long term contract? Are you in control? Can you make changes in location? Can you make changes to the business type? Can you Turn On or Turn Off your lead services? Finally, take a few minutes to think and talk to other contractors.   We provide "Above The Line" consulting, coaching, operational assistance in processes that are designed to help you grow. We help a little or a lot depending on your needs.

THE 3 PROFITS of the INCOME STATEMENT…do you know them? Yes, understanding Financial Statements is an essential business skill. In this Podcast we continue our deconstruction, decoding and deciphering of the key financial statements. Last episode we dug into the Balance Sheet. I hope you found that episode insightful. If you haven’t heard it yet no worries, check it out when we finish here! This Episode is about the INCOME STATEMENT. The Income Statement goes by many other names and aliases, Profit and Loss Statement, the P&L, Revenue Statement, Statement of Financial Performance, Earnings Statement or Statement of Earnings, Operating Statement, or Statement of Operations…geeezzzz, enough already, if one name wasn’t hard enough to remember. I’ll stick with calling it an Income Statement, but my lenders and banker’s always ask me for our P&L. Of all the financial statements this is the one you are probably most aware of and check because is contains one number everyone wants to know…. THE BOTTOM LINE or NET PROFIT. This number is the easiest to locate, because it’s at the bottom line of the Income Statement. You probably dash there when the reports arrive, eager to see how the practice did. Hopefully you don’t find a number bracketed by parentheses signifying a loss. What’s up with that? That doesn’t make any sense, how can one have negative money? You know there is money in the bank account because you just checked! You say to yourself I never understood those dagnabnett accounting reports and financial statements any way and carry on with business as usual. If there is a BOTTOM LINE, there must be a TOP LINE…correct you are! And a MIDDLE too! So let’s starting deconstructing the INCOME STATEMENT! An Income Statement contains three sections: TOP LINE: shows you your total REVENUE or SALES SIDE BAR here, when business folks talk of TOP LINE GROW, that’s secret code for sales growth, plain and simple. MIDDLE SECTION: reveals your COSTS and EXPENSES broken down by category. BOTTOM LINE: shows your NET PROFIT or LOSS; which is REVENUE - EXPENSES. It’s that simple, and as we learned in the Balance Sheet Podcast, it’s the NET PROFIT that connects the INCOME STATEMENT to the BALANCE SHEET since it is added to the RETAINED EARNINGS section of the BALANCE SHEET. An income statement is much like a report card. It is always calculated over a given time period, typically one month. Understanding this, we can better see that the income statement affects the balance sheet much like how an individual grade affects your GPA. The RETAINED EARNINGS section of the balance sheet accumulates all of the profits or losses in the business. This is a critically important point to highlight and understand for it is how the BALANCE SHEET and INCOME STATEMENT are connected. So, back to the most important feature of the INCOME Statement, the calculation of PROFIT! Your MISSION, should you choose to accept it, is to Learn what all the line items on the income statement are, and how to manage them. With this knowledge you will know how to improve and contribute to the profitability of your firm. The income statement measures how profitable your products or services are when everything is added up! Remember, the bottom line Profit number is always an estimate, since estimates and assumptions sneak into some of the line items of the income statement. Just as important is the fact that PROFITS are NOT CASH! You can’t spend PROFIT, you can only spend CASH. We will look in greater detail at CASH in the next podcast on the STATEMENT of CASH FLOWS. Overtime, in a well run and managed firm, PROFITS will turn into CASH! Let’s deconstruct our INCOME STATEMENT a little further. We will start at the top line of the income statement - REVENUE or SALES. A critical element here is when is REVENUE RECOGNIZED or RECORDED. For listeners that are using a Modified Cash Basis Accounting System, then this is easy…your REVENUE is the total Payment from all sources, typically patients and insurance and is RECOGNIZED only when payments are received! For other firms and publicly traded companies that are required to follow GAAP accounting rules, REVENUE RECOGNITION can be more challenging. Let’s keep it simple for our purposes and say that a company can record a sale, or recognize revenue, only when it delivers a product or service to a customer. This is an area where accountants have great discretion and latitude, and where estimates and distortions can sneak in. For Revenue to be recognized it must have been EARNED, either a product shipped, or service work performed. The next section of the INCOME STATEMENT, the Middle Section details all your COSTS and EXPENSES. EXPENSES are divided into 2 distinct categories: Cost of Good Sold (COGS), or Cost of Services (COS) and Operating Expenses, also referred to as Sales, General, and Administrative Expenses (S,G&A), or just G & A for General and Administrative. The COGS or COS includes all the costs directly involved in producing a product or delivering a service. Typically this includes the wages of employees making a product or delivering a service and the materials or supplies used. This distinction between COGS/COS and OPERATION EXPENSES also serves as a dividing line on the income statement. You may hear executives and managers talking about ABOVE THE LINE and BELOW THE LINE. Well, this is where the line is! ABOVE THE LINE there are only 2 items, REVENUE and COGS or COS this is the GROSS MARGIN you hear “Mr. Wonderful” asking about on Shark Tank, or Marcus Lemonis preaching about on The Profit. BELOW THE LINE, we will learn next, are OPERATING EXPENSES, INTEREST, and TAXES. Why is this distinction important? Well, the items ABOVE THE LINE tend to vary more in the short term so attract more attention from managers. So, if an EXPENSE is NOT a COGS or COS then it is an OPERATING EXPENSE and appears BELOW THE LINE. These OPERATING EXPENSES are NOT directly related to making a product or delivering a service. OPERATING EXPENSES are often referred to as OVERHEAD and includes such items as rent, utilities, telephone, internet, advertising, marketing, IT, etc. Buried in OPERATING EXPENSES is DEPRECIATION and AMORTIZATION. This is an area of great confusion so let’s take a closer look at this. The first point to remember is that DEPRECIATION is treated like an EXPENSE, so can dramatically affect the PROFIT on an INCOME STATEMENT. Plain and simple, DEPRECIATION is the “expensing” of a physical asset over its useful life. AMORTIZATION is the same as DEPRECIATION but applies to INTANGIBLE ASSETS like GOODWILL. There is considerable latitude and methods for how one can depreciate ASSETS, consultation with your ACCOUNTANT is critical here. Remember too that even for the same firm, DEPRECIATION can be calculated differently for TAX accounting vs. GAAP accounting. I won’t bore you with the details here, just appreciate that DEPRECIATION can be calculated in many different ways! DEPRECIATION is the best example of what we call a NON-CASH Expense! So, what’s up with that? This is one of the most confusing and misunderstood areas of your financial statements, but critical for you to understand. The key to unlocking this confusing concept is to remember that the CASH for the asset has already been paid out! The vehicle or piece of CAPITAL EQUIPMENT was paid for at the time it was acquired, but the total expense was not recorded in that month. Instead, the expense is divided, or allocated, over its useful life….a little at a time, month by month! That’s DEPRECIATION. Again, it is important to understand there are many ways to calculate the depreciation expense. The method chosen can have a profound impact on your PROFITS reported on the INCOME STATEMENT. KEY POINT HERE! Good financial managers will match the use of an asset, or its depreciation, with the revenue it is bringing in. If the depreciation exceeds its revenue then this asset is creating a loss, if revenue exceeds its depreciation , the asset is returning a profit, a goal we should be striving for. Next, let’s look at the 3 profits; Gross Profit, Operating Profit and Net Profit. GROSS PROFIT is REVENUE minus COGS or COS , and is a key number. It tells us about the profitability of your product or service. If profitability is not achieved here it is unlikely that your business will survive long. GROSS PROFIT must be enough to cover OPERATING EXPENSES, TAXES, FINANCING and of course NET PROFIT. So what is a healthy Gross Profit? How much is enough? This will vary considerably by industry and from one company to another even in the same industry. Having metrics and reports that allow you to follow year-to-year trends will help you identify whether your profit is heading up or headed down. If Gross Profit is decreasing one needs to ask why. Are your COGS or COS rising? Is Revenue decreasing due to lower fees, discounts, or lower insurance fee schedules? Understanding why helps managers determine where to focus their attention. OPERATING PROFIT is GROSS PROFIT minus OPERATING EXPENSES, including DEPRECIATION and AMORTIZATION. This is also know by the odd acronym EBIT (pronounced EE-Bit). This stands for EARNINGS before INTEREST and TAXES. Why are interest and taxes not included you may ask? OPERATING PROFIT is the PROFIT a firm makes from running the business. Taxes don’t contribute to how well you run your business. And interest expense depends on how the firm is financed, i.e., with debt or equity which is termed its CAPITAL STRUCTURE. EBIT is a closely watched metric since it is a good gauze of how well a firm is being managed. Another metric is EBITDA (EE-bid-dah), which is Earning before interest, Taxes, Depreciation and amortization. This is thought to be a better measure of a firm’s operating efficiency since it ignores NON-CASH Charges like depreciation and amortization altogether. We have just reviewed the bias and distortions that can be introduced calculating depreciation, so with EBITDA it is ignored. Finally we have arrived at the BOTTOM LINE, or NET PROFIT, which is what’s left over after everything is subtracted, COGS/COS, operating expense, non-cash expenses, interest, and taxes. This is the same number used to calculate EPS, earnings per share, and the PRICE/EARNINGS ratio used on WALL STREET. Finally, if the INCOME STATEMENT calculates our PROFIT, then it is logical to ask how can we MAXIMIZE OUR PROFIT? That’s a great question. My friend, Jason Andrews in his new book, STARK NAKED NUMBERS, provides us a great and quick analysis of this topic. Quick side bar here, Jason is a Chartered Accountant, who like me, is passionate about business owners extracting value from their financial statement data. You can find his book on Amazon and I will include a link in the show notes for you. I receive no royalties from this endorsement. Please check out his fresh perspective on accounting and finance. Jason identifies several financial levers which one can use to increase profitability; the SALES LEVER; either increase sales volume or increase price, and the COST LEVER; reduce DIRECT and/or INDIRECT COSTS. It is surprising the impact on profitability a 10% change in these levers has on NET PROFIT…listed from greatest impact to least impact and the % change are; Sales Lever, Increase price 10% increases net profit 53%. Direct Cost, decrease 10% increase net profit 37%. Operating Cost, decrease 10% increase net profit 26%. Sales Lever, Increase Sales 10% only increases net profit 16%. So the fastest and easiest way to increase your BOTTOM LINE is to INCREASE YOUR PRICES/FEES. Creating more business, or increasing sales, has the least effect. Let’s wrap this PodCast up with some useful take away points. Only When REVENUE from Services exceeds EXPENSES can profit be achieved. Buying gadgets, gizmos, latest and greatest equipment, a new office, the list can go on and on are all irrelevant, EXCEPT if the gadgets, gizmos, latest and greatest equipment and new office creates GREATER REVENUE, or LOWER EXPENSES. This is also called VALUE CREATION when the PRICE a customer is willing to pay is greater than the COST to make the product or deliver the service. VALUE, like PROFIT, can only be achieved when products are sold and services delivered. The #1 GOAL of any BUSINESS is to CONTINUOUSLY CREATE VALUE for their CUSTOMERS! The hardest part is the CONTINUOUS and CONSTANT need to always be CREATING VALUE! ACCELERATING DEPRECIATION, as in SECTION 179 depreciation we are all familiar with, creates a LARGE DEPRECIATION EXPENSE that reduces your PROFITS, NET INCOME and RETAINED EARNINGS. This is a TAX STRATEGY plain and simple and points out the difference between TAX ACCOUNTING and MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING. Planning for this DEPRECIATION should be done every time capital equipment is acquired, NOT AT THE VERY END OF THE YEAR at the encouragement of highly motivated SALES PERSONAL. OVERHEAD PERCENTAGE is a metric that dentists can not stop talking about and comparing! As you see from the above discussion, there is no OVERHEAD LINE ITEM on an INCOME STATEMENT. OPERATION EXPENSES come close but what items do you include or exclude? There are as many variations in calculations as there are people calculating it. For me it is a non-precise metric that can be distorted. A better metric to monitor and tract overtime is GROSS PROFIT and OPERATING EXPENSES as a PERCENT OF GROSS PROFIT. Whatever metric for overhead you choose, it becomes more powerful when tracked and compared overtime. PROFITS are not CASH. A profitable firm can run out of cash and a cash rich firm can non-profitable. So that wraps things up for this Podcast.  Hopefully you have a better understanding of the mechanics of the INCOME STATEMENT.

Today we look at the concept of distinguishing the difference between above and below the line advertising and marketing.bove The Line (ATL) and Below The Line (BTL) advertising are two terms that are bandied around often these days in the advertising world and often have the layperson confused as to what they stand for. It might be worth our while to begin this by defining what constitutes the metaphoric ‘Line'. To quote Michael John Baker from The Marketing Book, the terms ‘Above The Line' and ‘Below The Line' came into existence way back in 1954 with the company Proctor and Gamble paying their advertising agencies a different rate and separately from the agencies who took on the other promotional.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brands-of-africa/support
