*Want one piece of business strategy delivered daily to your inbox?* Subscribe here: geraldinecarter.com/subscribe How can CPAs grow their accounting practice when they're over capacity, underutilizing their talents and not providing optimal client support?  Many CPA firms still rely on the hourly billing business model, where the firm has to log more work hours providing services to increase revenue. It focuses on hours and deliverables, not on results and value. A compelling alternative is the subscription business model, where the provider enables serial transformations to the buyer, and continually adds value to the experience. The subscription model creates an opening for predictable, recurring, higher margin revenue.  In this week's episode, I talk about the subscription model with my guest, Ron Baker.  Ron is the founder of VeraSage Institute—the leading think tank dedicated to educating professionals internationally, and is a radio talk-show host on the www.VoiceAmerica.com show: The Soul of Enterprise: Business in the Knowledge Economy. Ron has authored seven best-selling books, including: The Firm of the Future; Pricing on Purpose; Measure What Matters to Customers; and Implementing Value Pricing. His latest book, co-authored with Paul Dunn, Time's Up!: The Subscription Business Model for Professional Firms, was published in November 2022.   In this two-part conversation (episodes 233 and 234), we talk about: Sale prices and multiples How AI can help scale businesses Disney and other big businesses using the subscription model Ways to “plus” your offer How CPA firms can shift to subscription model Highlights: — “We need to stop charging for the means and pricing the end.”  — “Strategy is about what you don't do. It's about the customers you don't have, the services you don't provide. It's all about trade offs. You simply can't be all things to all people.”  — “It's very difficult for a business to disrupt itself.”  — “CPAs have the ability to enable transformations. It's a privilege and a duty to help our customers, to make that impact on their life.” Connect with Ron: Website: https://www.thesoulofenterprise.com/ Ron's book: Time's Up: The Subscription Business Model for Professional Firms https://www.thesoulofenterprise.com/timesup Episode mentions: Subscription Business Model: Build Greater Wealth in Your CPA Firm, with Ron Baker https://businessstrategyforcpas.com/147 Time to Rethink Your Pricing Strategy?, with Ron Baker, Founder of VeraSage Institute https://businessstrategyforcpas.com/081 Breaking Away from the Mainstream Medical Model with Dr. Lewis Weiner https://businessstrategyforcpas.com/206 Selling Summit CPA for Multiples, with Jody Grunden https://www.businessstrategyforcpas.com/225 Hold My Beer and Watch Me Niche, with Josh Lance, CPA https://businessstrategyforcpas.com/212   Book mentions: Uncommon Sense, Common Nonsense by Jules Goddard https://www.amazon.com/Uncommon-Sense-Common-Nonsense-Organisations/dp/1846686024 Built to Sell: Creating a Business That Can Thrive Without You by John Warrillow https://www.amazon.com/Built-Sell-Creating-Business-Without-ebook/dp/B004IYISQW

When I was a kid, one of the things my family would often do on a Friday night is go to Blockbuster. (Video rental store) My sister and I were allowed to pick one movie each for the weekend. Now my sister would be able to pick a movie in under 5 minutes. She never over thought it and would often get a movie she had seen before. Me, on the other hand…  I would take as long as my parents would allow.Walking down each aisle, picking up several movies. I would then find myself a spot in the store.Layout all the movies I had picked up and start comparing them. I would then ask the staff at the store which one they would pick from my selection. I had to get this down to one option, and I wanted to ensure I made the right choice. It was my weekend viewing at stake here. I'm pretty sure it drove my parents and sister nuts waiting for me to pick a movie.They would often make threats to leave me at the store. But here is the thing that I find interesting. My sister often picked dud movies and hated them.She would often ask our parents to go back and change. I rarely picked a loser because I put the time into researching and making a good decision. That story sums up how I approach business today.I'm very calculated and strategic. And it has served me well. Pressing on! This week's podcast is a little bit different.As it's an episode in which I was a guest on the James Schramko podcast. James and I went back and forth on sharing our experiences from both selling businesses and setting businesses up for cash flow. The conversation brought out the pros and cons of each and why we are both focused on cash flow today. You can see we both put a lot of thought and intention into the businesses and business models we have today. We didn't pick them by whim like my sister in the video store. I hope this podcast lets you be more strategic and intentional about your business.

Sue Bryce and I are guests on John Warrillow's Built to Sell podcast! I've been a fan of John's for years, and two of his business books Built to Sell, and The Automatic Customer have been at the top of my entrepreneurial recommendation list for years. It's an entrepreneurial bucket-list moment to have been a guest on his show. This episode is a deep dive into everything we learned during a failed due diligence process for a possible acquisition of Sue Bryce Education in 2019, and then the steps we took to rebuild the SBE business using everything we learned in that process. About one hour into the interview John asks for the specific steps we took to rebuild the business to make it something we could successfully sell. Here are the four key takeaways from that part: Assign a CEO: We needed to align our management team so instead of four partners hashing out every idea, we assigned one partner, Aaron, the responsibility of being the CEO and day-to-day operator of the business No New Projects: We agree to get good at saying no. We realized we had wandered off into a variety of pet projects which sucked cash and attention out of the core business. Instead, we decided to say no to all new ideas and focus on the core business. Professionalize sales and marketing: We made some key hires in the areas of sales and marketing and built a sales process that no longer required Sue's involvement Empower a new voice: We launched a new podcast featuring success stories of photographers in their community. Sue would have been the natural choice to host the show, but we knew that would undermine the ability to sell the company so we invited one of Sue's most-trusted protege Nikki Closser to be the new voice of SBE. The changes worked. Two years after turning down a reduced initial offer, the Sue Bryce partners completed a successful acquisition of Sue Bryce Education by Emerald in 2021. --- Podcast: Built to Sell Radio with John Warrillow Episode: Sue Bryce & Craig Swanson - The 8-Figure Expert Website: https://builttosell.com/radio/

When building a business or starting a new entrepreneurial pursuit, we tend to handle many of the day-to-day tasks ourselves. And though working this way is fine for a while, at some point you need to turn that chaos into an orderly system.   In this episode of the Working Without Pants podcast, I explore the importance of building systems and why they are needed in order to scale your business in an organized and predictable way.    If you're new to building systems within your business, it can seem daunting. The key to remember, though, is that you don't have to be an expert at building systems — you simply need to understand them enough to be able to eventually hire a master to optimize your basic frameworks. If a system has decent bones, a specialist will be able to come in and take that system to the next level of efficiency.   I always recommend starting your system-building efforts by focusing on lower-value work that you want off your plate and then moving on to higher-level work. This will bring you more immediate freedom, allow you to refine your system-building skills, and ultimately help you understand what it will take to systematize higher-level roles or tasks down the line.   Want to work with me as an advisor?

If you want to increase your wealth and have passive income streams, then you’re at the right place! Today on the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Mighty Pete talks to Paul Maskill, a well-known small business coach and advocate. Together, they discuss how you can build a business, design a working system that you can utilise, and also leverage so you can have more free time.  During these difficult times, it’s very normal to worry about our future. Let Paul and Mighty Pete eradicate that concern away. Prepare and strategise; you’ll find that money-making business idea soon! KEY TAKEAWAYS Paul can’t count how many times did he feel that he was boxed to do only limited things as he progressed in life. There are things that only the society deems proper to do—from your school days to your career journey to even retiring. But remember that you have the power to modify and make it work for you. Being adventurous and eager is hard if you always get influenced by societal norms. Paul was glad that he followed where his heart is leading him to. He’s confident that he’s already prepared for life and has been very impactful to other people. Experience is really your best teacher. Paul was happy growing his first business with his team, but he noticed that it wasn’t working anymore. He was a business owner clocking in 80 hours in just one week. Clearly, there was something wrong there. So, he found ways on how to automate and systematise his operations. He learned from people who knows more than he does. He consumed every business book and every business podcast he can find. This also catapulted his interest in learning about personal development too. He found out that the reason why he’s had a difficult time scaling up his business is he wasn’t delegating tasks effectively. While entrepreneurs are knowledgeable and are capable to do every operational task, they must learn to decipher what are of great importance. Right now, Paul helps his clients build a great business so they can leverage it and lead their dream lifestyle in the future. He adds that being ready psychologically and most importantly financially. BEST MOMENTS “Life is too short to be doing something you hate every day.” “Give them (kids) access to everything and let them figure out… Give them the tools to actually succeed and let them figure out what works best.” “I’m all about enjoying life, but for me, it’s all about experiences.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Know more about Gary Vaynerchuk: https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/ Two books recommended by Paul Maskall: The Go-Giver, Expanded Edition: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea by Bob Burg | https://www.amazon.com/Go-Giver-Expanded-Little-Powerful-Business/dp/1591848288 Built to Sell: Creating a Business That Can Thrive Without You by John Warrillow | https://www.amazon.com/Built-Sell-Creating-Business-Without-ebook/dp/B004IYISQW The 12 Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months by Brian P.

  Today’s guest episode of USR features Paul Maskill!  Graduating from the University of Michigan with a Finance degree in hand, Paul climbed the Corporate Ladder in Chicago all the way to the top. Not long into his career in Corporate America, the buzz of a finance job lost its luster - sitting in a cubicle for 10-12 hours a day while building someone else’s business was not Paul’s idea of a living the dream. So, he quit!   After taking two months to travel around South America, Paul relocated to Raleigh, NC to invest in his first TGA franchise: a perfect combination of his business experience with a passion for sports.  TGA makes golf and tennis more accessible to students ages 3-15 through on campus after school programs, summer camps, parent/child events and more. Over the next 4.5 years, Paul grew his business to four franchises, impacting 1,000’s of kids each year.   In this episode, you will learn: -how to guarantee the investments you’re making in your business actually pay off -simple ways to build a business that supports freedom and flexibility -keys to set yourself up for success that continues long after your business days are over   Paul now works with current franchise owners to help build their business into organizations with people, processes and systems in place so that the business can thrive without relying on the owner (Paul calls this working ON versus working IN their business).  He also works with all prospective franchise owners on putting together their business plan while evaluating all of the moving parts of the business and their geographic area.     Mentioned in this episode: Built to Sell: Creating a Business That Can Thrive Without You by John Warrillow - https://www.amazon.com/Built-Sell-Creating-Business-Without/dp/1591845823   Connect with Paul: http://interviewvalet.com/ https://twitter.com/paulmaskill http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/automate-your-franchise   Connect with Kelly: www.kellyroachcoaching.com www.facebook.com/kellyroachinternational www.twitter.com/kellyroachint     A HUGE thank you for listening to Unstoppable Success Radio!   I would be so grateful if you left me a rating and review!     My mission and goal is to serve you, my listeners, so please submit your questions for an upcoming #ask Kelly episode by emailing coaching@kellyroachcoaching.com or @kellyroachint or calling 610 910 3600 to submit your questions!       Here's how I can help you achieve your goals:     -How to build, scale and automate growth in your business:kellyroachcoaching.com/yes     -Take your hobby, side hustle or new business quickly to the 100k mark: kellyroachcoaching.com/100k     -Turbo charge your productivity, break through overwhelm and the impact the profit in your business in 30 day or less kellyroachcoaching.com/higher-profits/     -Inquire about Private consulting and coaching by completing the application at: http://kellyroachcoaching.com/apply-now/     Get insider tips and resources only available to my private email community by texting IGNITE to 44222 or visiting kellyroachcoaching.com and selecting any of the exciting resources or trainings available for immediate download.     Have you gotten your copy of UNSTOPPABLE: 9 Principles for Unlimited Success in Business and in Life at Amazon here NOW!
