Hey friends! Long time, No Book Club (?) It feels so good to be back with another episode of the Quantum Business Book Club. And this one, WOWZA, it had me reconsidering all my beliefs. In this episode, we are discussing the Rational Optimist by Matt Ridley. This book strives to convince you that humans are still progressing forward and for the better (even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes). Listen to this episode to see how this book changed my own world view in some ways and how you can too become a rational optimist. Want to recommend the next book or join us for our live roundtable?

Our guest today on The Best Dam Podcast is John Chase, Owner of AmeriSent Insurance-Boulder City and Rotary Coordinator for Zone 26.  Episode HighlightsWe ask John what the job description is for a Rotary Coordinator and how he sees his role in a leadership position such as this to be beneficial to him personally and in business.  John shares how his service has impacted his life and his company that he operates with his wife Elizabeth, whom he has been married to for 30 years.  John's also a retired police officer and had many life changing experiences that have led him to the place he is now in business and service to others through his non-profit work.  We learn how his well-rounded life brings him to a place where he sees the good in others and appreciates surrounding himself with those that do the same.  John and his friend in Rotary and business, Larry Archeletta, started the Business Book Club,  and we find out about some of the groups favorite books that have impacted their lives.  He invites all to join in.  As we get to know a little about his youth and what shaped the man he is today, we hear him share his experience working on a dairy farm every day before and after school.  This leads us to understand why he now lives in the desert.  We hope you enjoyed laughing and learning with John Chase.

In this month's Quantum Business Book Club I'm talking to you all about The Human Fabric by Bijoya Goswami. I decided to save this book for the later part of this season because of it's simplicity. Whereas we've been talking all about the strategies and complex interweavings of spirituality and business --Listen to past Quantum Business episodes for all of that-- this month we are back to the basics of who we are as humans. The Human Fabric is all about what motivates us and in this episode I'm taking you through the MRE Framework that Goswami outlines in this book. Dissimilar to any other personailty framework this one is so incredibly simple, but so very effective. Listen to this episode to understand what categories you fall in, and start to understand how yourself and others around you are motivated.

How do you create luck? You start by believing that you ARE lucky. Hey friend! This week I'm coming at ya with another Quantum Business Book Club covering two books by Gay Hendrix: Concious Luck + The Corporate Mystic. Hendrix's writing was introduced to me as I was leaving the music industry and both of these books are ones I go back to regularly. I find that these two books go together beautifully. In the episode, I go over how Gay believes you can create your own luck and the 12 characteristics of the corporate mystic. This is also the first video episode! Head over to my Youtube to watch.

This is part 2 of the Quantum Business Book Club's discussion on The Diamond Cutter by Geshe Michael Roach & Lama Christie McNally. Warning: This is a big one with some heavy hitting topics that I sure needed to hear. This book dives into the interesection of Buddhism and business. Something that I don't think many of us would think could coexist alongside each other. In the episode, I talk about how this book helped me realize that in order to create impact we must first believe that there is potential.

In this month's episode of the Quantum Business Book Club I'm bringing you part one of a two-part series on The Diamond Cutter by Geshe Michael Roach & Lama Christie McNally. In this part, I'm talking through the half of this book that is all about business solutions. Every time I read this book, different solutions jump out at me because they are all so ingenious and relatable. This book challenges you to look inward when it comes to problems in your life and business. Written by a Buddhist Master, the teachings in this book go beyond the typical, corporate solutions we find in many business books today. That's why I'm sharing it with you. If you'd like to read along with me be sure to pick up a copy at your local bookstore or order it through the link below.

The art of possbility by Rosamund and Ben Zander was the book I NEEDED to reread this week. I first read this book back when I lived in Austrailia and have read it countless times since but this time the storytelling impacted me more that ever. By creating possibility for excellence you create an entire world of leaders where everyone is self-actualized and where everyone hold themselves to higher standard. When people believe that they are the best, they will live up to it.

This week I am discussing Amy Cuddy's Presence. This book was a game changer for me. I can't even keep a physical copy around anymore because I always give it away to someone who I think should read it. Hopefully you take away a sense of validation that what you are doing IS working.

Creative Confidence is a book that I find myself going back to more often than most. This is the one to get you inspired and ready for action. People with creative confidence have a greater impact on the world around them. Embracing creativity enables YOU, the entrepreneur, the trailblazer, the rulebreaker... to find success in a way that feels fun. It is in the process of continual experimentation where we find true purpose.

Well hello again! This episode is a Buy 1 Get 1 free BABY. This week we are diving back into the Quantum Business Book Club with two books by Steven Pressfield. I decided to combine these into the same episode because these books complement each other like yin & yang. The Artist's Journey is the chaotic creative younger sibling to The War of Art's older, capitalist approach to art. I tell everyone in my world to read these two books and to you listening: you're in my world now too. They. Will. Change. Yo. Life. Art is a journey of both the heart and the mind. That's the challenge. The business of art and translating the passion into a financially viable endeavor is the ultimate form of creativity. So, take a listen, support your local bookstore, and get reading.

Hi friend! This is officially a real thing. The second episode of the Quantum Business Book Club. This time we are talking about Charles Eisenstein's Sacred Economics. This one is almost a complete 180 from last time when we talked about Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Written 12 years ago, this book applies a fresh perspective to economics and tackles the real world issues we are facing in our growth economy. Eisenstein challenges us to switch the metric of success from how much money we can earn and hoard, to how much we can give. This "Gift Economy" focuses on sustainability and local community rather than the globalization we have become all too familiar with.

Hey friends! This is part two of our discussion of Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Last week we talked all about the 13 reasons for failure. This week we flip the script and talk about the 13 steps to riches (as described by Hill). Even though this framework is over a hundred years old, it still could not be more relevant to how we few business and leadership today. Your success will be determined on how you decide to tweak these lessons to fit your experience. Take what resonates and leave what doesn't. Happy Reading!

We discuss with Ruth: · What defines resilience in a business context · How high performers master their minds · The problems with appraisals · Whether high achievers drifted into, or were determined to always be what they became · Why we should do something important not just interesting in our careers · What defines success · what incentives motivate high achievers · Marco- and micro-motivations · How we can recognise our intrinsic motivations · Conducting a passion audit If you'd like to learn about what ruth does and her writing on leadership and success go to www.ruthgotian.com Ruth's Gotian's professional passion audit: www.ruthgotian.com/passionaudit To order The Success Factor: https://amzn.to/3ap0SJa Thank you once again to The Carroll Consultancy, our sponsors of The New P&L Business Book Review Club, The Carroll Consultancy is focused on dramatically developing people, performance and profits.

The Quantum Business Bookclub has begun! I've been wanting to start this for the past two years and I am so excited that it is actually happening. Originally this bookclub was supposed to take place in person, across the country, but we all know why we can't do that. So, for now, this bookclub will be hosted here, on the podcast. This week we start our discussion on Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. This will be a two parter since there is a lot of information to cover. This first part talks all about the 6 fears & 30 failures in business. By shedding some light on these fears and acknowledging them we become better equipped to deal with these hardships as we navigate the world of business.

In this month's episode of The New P&L Business Book Review Club, sponsored by The Carroll Consultancy we speak to phenomenal Jamie Mustard - strategic multi-media consultant, artist, design and product futurist, and author of The Iconist: The Art and Science of Standing Out. In the Iconist, Jamie has codified the primal laws of what causes anything, in any medium, to STAND OUT and take hold in the human mind.

Hey, guys. I hope everybody's having a good day. It's Friday. I'm thrilled it's Friday. It's been a very long short week. Hopefully, it'll be relaxing. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and get started. Hi, I'm Bette Hochberger, CPA, CGMA, and about a year or two ago, I started a #BusinessBookClub. The thing that's cool about this is it's completely free. It's like a free school. We used to compare it to free root canal, free school. But this is a free school. If you're the type of person who likes to read, or if you're the type of person who doesn't want to read, this can be such a valuable group for you. There are a few reasons. Number one, I read a lot. I also listen to a lot of books. So between those two things, I cover a lot of books in a year. I have found that I've gained so much knowledge in a relatively easy, fast, and cheap way, especially with business books. And I discovered that I would read these books and I wouldn't have very many people to discuss them with. So I created the book club. Number one, there, is that you can join us for free. Number two, you can discuss the topics and the books and the matters they cover with other people—number three, networking. You have the opportunity to meet people you've never met before, which is always pretty cool. Number five, hmm. Well, you get to spend time with me. So check it out. That's Business Book Club. It's free. It's not like a crazy book club where you're committed, and if you don't show up, something happens. Come and go as you please. We do it on Zoom. Hopefully, soon we'll be back in person. I hope you join. Our next one is next Thursday, I believe. Was that the 27th? Yeah. So I hope to see you there. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bettehochbergercpa/support

To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others, by Daniel H. Pink, was May's Business Book. Join me and my fellow book club members as we discuss our key takeaways from To Sell Is Human. We concluded that this is an excellent book for beginners because it summarizes many books we've read previously at Bette's Business Book Club. Watch our book club below and let us know what you think in the comment section. Daniel H. Pink aims to teach his readers that we are all in sales; what he means is that we all spend a good portion of our life convincing someone to do something. He says whether it's getting your kid to clean their room, getting your boss to give you a raise, or even teaching your students a lesson: we're all in sales. To some of us, this may seem obvious, but David H Pink believes it isn't. The next thing Pink brings to our attention is that the market has changed, that it's no longer "buyer beware" because it's changed to "seller beware." I agree with him; the market has changed; anyone with access to the internet can "fact-check" you. I believe this makes it all the more important to be selling an honest product. He tells us that the old "ABC" (Always Be Closing) way of selling is dead and that if we want to influence people, we must commit to his version of ABC. His understanding of ABC stands for Attunement, Buoyancy, and Clarity. Attunement means getting in touch with the world around you, Buoyancy meaning a combination of believing in what you're selling and bouncing back from rejection, and Clarity, indicating the ability to find and solve problems. Once Pink explains his ABCs in great detail, he teaches his readers how to pitch what they're selling through various exercises and stories. If you are interested in reading To Sell Is Human, you can find it on amazon. You can learn more about the author through his website. Don't hesitate to join our Business Book Club; it's completely free, and we are always looking for new members. Check out last month's book club, where we had an extraordinary guest. Thanks for reading, and we hope to see you next time. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bettehochbergercpa/support

"The Go-Giver: A Little Story About A Powerful Business Idea" by Bob Burg and John David Mann. This month's book club was inspiring because we were unexpectedly blessed with the presence of one of The Go-Giver's authors, John David Mann, and his wife, Ana. John David Mann reached out to us on Twitter after seeing one of our posts about book club and offered to come on. Now, if you've read The Go-Giver, you'd know that I shouldn't have been surprised by this generous act; but I still was. John was gracious enough to come on to our zoom chat and tell us about writing the book and answer any of our questions. Check out our video reviewing The Go-Giver below. I've read this book multiple times, and I genuinely believe in its philosophies. To give you a summary, Bob Burg and John David Mann write about what they call "The Five Laws Of Stratospheric Success." The first law is the law of value; this essentially means that when selling a product that you want to be successful, you must give away more in value than you take in payment. It sounds a bit counterintuitive, but it's truly a remarkable "law" when you play with the idea a bit more. The second law is the law of compensation; this law gets into the nitty-gritty of how much money you will get. The Go-Giver makes it simple; the more lives you touch, the more money you make. The third law is the law of influence; this law points out that if your character is genuine and you put others first, you will, without a doubt, influence others. The fourth law is the law of authenticity; we all know this one because our parents have said it to us many times, "Just be yourself." Remembering that at the core of what you sell is you and that the most valuable thing you can offer another person is your honest self. The fifth law is the law of receptivity which points out that you have to remain teachable and open to new experiences, meaning get used to saying "yes." If you're interested in The Go-Giver, you can purchase it on amazon. If you want to join the discussion for our next book club, you may do so by joining our Facebook group. Next month we will be reviewing "To Sell Is Human."

February 2021 meeting discussing, "Delivering Happiness" by Tony Hsieh. The first thing that interested me in this book is the fact that it is written by the CEO of Zappos, Tony Hsieh, who just so happens to be a multimillionaire. Now, if you've been here before, you know that we focus on business books. This business book is interesting because it felt to be more of a memoir sprinkled with nuggets of business advice than it did a business book. The story begins at the beginning of Tony's life and he walks us through his trials and tribulations as a business owner and human. The book, unsurprisingly, is about delivering happiness. Now, this took me through a slight-loop because as I said before I was expecting a business book however, my husband, Alex points out that once you've reached the summit of your career and finances... happiness and purpose take the front seat in your mind. So, how does Tony create this happiness? Well, through culture. Tony talks about nurturing the clients you do have, before finding new ones and that advertising efforts are null and void until you can give your existing customer an experience that turns that customer into a loyal follower. It sounds somewhat cultish, but if I think about the success of certain products that have a "cult-following" then it is actually genius what Tony is attempting to do. He talks about rave culture and the sense of community there and tries to implement that in his company. He motivates his employees by offering them free workshops where they can further develop their skill sets. Tony talks about why it's so important for you to be passionate and see the purpose in your work and that your employees need to have that same mindset. Basically, anyone who works for you or with you needs to be a brand ambassador. Overall Tony's message is that if you treat your company, clients, and employees the same way you want to be treated then your business will be successful and you will be happy.

...BUCKLE IN FOR THIS ONE! I am enjoying reading business books that light me up and give me the push forward in businesses I’m involved in. Welcome to my Business Monthly book club!

On today’s episode of Rock the Podcast, Margy (virtually) sits down with Lisa Larter! Lisa helps businesses navigate modern entrepreneurship so that they can increase sales and profits. She works with her clients on everything from business strategy, understanding their numbers and measuring what matters, to online marketing, social media and the best way to turn connections into paying customers! Lisa believes that business is all about the numbers and that you need to take lots of action in order to make things happen. She is known for her no-nonsense approach to helping business owners get results. You won’t get fluff from Lisa, only the facts and an expectation that if you really want your business to grow, you will dig in and do the work! Margy and Lisa bonded over their love of numbers! They both agree that if you don’t have a grasp on your numbers, you will not be able to pay yourself and you will not be able to have the lifestyle that you want as an entrepreneur. Everything that you want as a business owner-- the freedom, the impact -- if your numbers are a mess your business will ultimately fail. Margy and Lisa both loved the book The Ultimate Blueprint for an Insanely Successful Business by Keith Cunningham. That book emphasizes the importance of really understanding the numbers in your business and looking at numbers in a way that can benefit you and can benefit the people that work with you.  Every new coaching client of Lisa’s receives this book. Lisa has held mastermind retreats  and spent entire days looking at and discussing concepts in The Ultimate Blueprint. A concept that Lisa loves to implement is comparing historical data year over year in your business to look for trends and exceptions. Lisa also ensures her clients are getting clear on their expenses. Lisa explains that we have a tendency to throw money at problems. If you have enough money to solve the problem, then you don’t have a problem. The issue is that sometimes the money you’re throwing at a problem isn’t actually fixing the root of the problem. This is when you have to look at numbers and be able to understand what they mean in your business. Lisa asks that her bookkeepers and accountants send her the numbers every month, so Lisa can unpack. Lisa knows that she needs to look at them and know exactly what is going on before she gets to the end of year, so she can make smart decisions based on that data.  Margy asks Lisa what advice she has for entrepreneurs who tell themselves the story of “I’m not a numbers person.” People hire Lisa for marketing strategy, and she almost always ends up working on their numbers! Her clients don’t have a marketing problem, they have a numbers problem. Lisa will work with them to get to the root of their issue: Are they having a pricing problem, an expense problem, or perhaps a billable hours problem? Lisa notes that her clients always think numbers are going to be very complicated, but really it’s just basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. If you can calculate percentages and you can look for outliers, that’s all you need to be able to do.  Lisa also observes that business owners often make a lot of emotional decisions to spend money. Business owners and entrepreneurs rationalize when they need to spend the money, but the logical side of the brain wants to avoid that, and that creates a lot of shame surrounding your numbers. Instead, Lisa argues to look at your numbers up front. She tells her clients that they can reverse engineer what they want in your business, and together, Lisa and her clients can create budgets and forecasts to make that happen. That way, as an entrepreneur, you can spend the money the way you want because you’ve planned for it! You can still pay yourself and have a profit. Margy has seen first hand how much emotional decision making comes with your finances. Margy really loves being analytical and looking at her numbers, but she also believes in intuition. When something feels right or wrong in your business, you shouldn’t ignore that feeling. But you should look at your numbers to either validate or disprove your assumptions and feelings. It’s not “Never trust your gut.” It’s more “Marry numbers and intuition together.” Lisa explains that many business coaches are doing their clients a disservice by not looking at the numbers. Business owners need to be able to interpret data to have successful businesses. The Ultimate Blueprint is all about tracking your numbers, what numbers to track, and tracking them over a long period of time. This allows you to see a comparison of month to month and year to year.  Margy asks Lisa, for somebody who wants to implement tracking their numbers better but is overwhelmed by all the spreadsheets, what do you think are the key things that they should be tracking every month in their business? The first action Lisa recommends is to track your revenue weekly and monthly. It’s imperative to track sales MTD on a weekly basis, so you can find patterns and trends. She also recommends looking at your profit and loss statements, looking at your cashflow situation, and if you have receivables to look at those. She explains, you want to pay as late as you can, and you want to get paid as early as you can. The longer the receivable sits, the harder it is to collect it. Lisa is also a huge fan of per unit measuring, she loves slicing and dicing numbers in as many ways as she can to support a hypothesis that you have about how to make the business perform better. Lisa also points out that if you have a team and you are able to gauge revenue per person,  then you can create a factor capacity model.  Another idea to consider as a business owner is per uniting the cost of acquisition of a new client. If you decide to spend $7,000 in facebook ads, how much are you generating in revenue as a result of that spend? How much did it cost you per lead? What did you get for every dollar spent? When you can drill the numbers down that way, you can actually replicate what you’ve done that has produced results. You will also have a baseline measurement that will tell you if something is no longer working.  If you only measure it one time, and you don’t look at what the trends are, you won’t be seeing legitimate results in your business. Lisa breaks business growth into 5 steps: Attract Convert Retain Expand Refer After you are able to both attract business and convert to clients, you need to then keep your client or customer, and expand the amount of business you do with them. This will have a huge impact on the lifetime value of your business. If they refer people to you, your cost of acquisition goes down; buyers are selling for you. You can’t maintain a strong business with luck, you need to know your back-end numbers. Lisa and Margy agree that even during the good times, entrepreneurs need to be prepared and get everything in order in case they have a tough month ahead. Lisa asks all her clients, “How much money do you have in the bank? What is your burn rate? How long will that last?” Thought Readers is Lisa’s newest venture, the online Business & Book Club community. Lisa came up with the idea when someone had reached out to her explaining that they were always trying to keep up with what Lisa was reading. They asked if Lisa would start a business book club. They said, “Send me the book you're reading every month, tell me what you’re learning and I will write you a check.” She thought, nobody is gonna pay me to read books with me! However, after the first year, 75 people signed up. Lisa chooses a book, reads it a month before, and picks out all the important “ahas!” She then shares them with the group, records videos about her own takeaways, and she does a “Books and Business Q&A.” People can come to the call and ask Lisa any question they want about the book or just business in general! Lisa is now entering her fifth year reading books together with this community! You can join the community and she will ship you the book, or join and be a digital member and buy the book yourself. Either way, you still get wisdom from the discussion that happens inside the community. It’s a great shortcut to reading the entire book. A recommendation from Lisa is to pick books that are aligned with where your business problems are - read something that resonates with you, read something that will help you. Margy’s big focus is on implementation, so she is drawn to books like Profit First and The Ultimate Blueprint. It’s incredibly helpful to have someone to talk it out with and get some bullet points on what you’re struggling with or want to learn more about. Thought Readers helps community members translate these books into their lives and their business to take action. A final recommendation from Lisa is when you’re looking at business books, pick the lever that is going to lift you the highest with the least amount of effort. Don’t get stuck in the weeds of tactical implementation, instead stick with the one thing that is going to give you the biggest ROI on your time. You can connect with Lisa at thoughtreaders.com!

Today, we're discussing, "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Dr. Spencer Johnson. It's a telling of a story of two mice and two little people. We got Sniff and Scurry who are the mice and Hem and Haw who are the little people and their names kind of implied how they behave. The basic premise of the story is these little people and these mice live in a maze and they run around looking for cheese and how do they behave once they find the cheese. It's a parable of how do they react when the cheese runs out. It's a matter of which of the characters do you identify with and which one do you want to identify with.

Donald Miller is due me a large commission for the number of new fans he has thanks to the book recommendation I posted a few months back explaining that his book “Building A Story Brand” was the best book I’ve read on marketing. First Ryan Deiss a genius digital marketer, who I believe is friends with Donald, read the book and recommended it to the audience, which I was a part of at Expert Empires business conference, then I read it and raved about it in my community of entrepreneurs and readers: "Ben’s Business Book Club" and on instagram. This started a trend of more people reading it, which has been sneezed all over this community and caused this group chat to happen so we can all share our key takeaways from “Building a Story Brand”.
