What exactly is bookkeeping and why does it matter so much for your business?  In this episode, Danielle Hayden, reformed corporate CFO and CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., breaks down the basics of bookkeeping, explains how it supports your growth, and shares the real-life benefits of staying on top of your numbers. Whether you're just starting out or scaling fast, this is foundational knowledge every business owner needs.  Key Takeaways:  Bookkeeping Is Your Business's Financial Foundation: It's all about recording and organizing every transaction—sales, expenses, and everything in between—so you can make smart, informed decisions.   Cash-Basis Accounting Is Usually the Right Fit for Small Businesses: Unlike big corporations, most small business owners don't need complex systems. Recording transactions when cash hits or leaves your bank account keeps things simple and clear. Timely Bookkeeping Saves You Time, Money, and Stress: When your books are current, you can avoid overpaying in taxes, make better business decisions, and skip the last-minute scramble at tax time. Accurate Books Protect You in Audits and Increase Your Business's Value: Clean records mean you're IRS audit-ready, and if you ever need to sell or get a valuation, your bookkeeping can directly impact your bottom line. As the CEO, You're Still Responsible: Even with a bookkeeper, it's your job to communicate business changes and review your reports regularly. That's how you turn numbers into growth. Special Note for S-Corp Owners: You must have accurate financials to file correctly and stay compliant. That means both income statements and balance sheets—don't skip this step! Topics Discussed: (00:29 – 01:33) What is Bookkeeping and Why Does It Matter?  (01:34 – 03:59) The Difference Between Small Business and Corporate Bookkeeping (04:00 – 08:26) The Benefits of Accurate, Up-to-Date Bookkeeping (08:27 – 09:09) Why Cash Balance Is Not the Full Financial Picture (09:09 – 09:43) Special Considerations for S-Corp Owners (10:19 – 12:37) The Importance of Taking Responsibility for Tracking Your Numbers as a Business Owner   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

In all your undertakings, you want substance, not fluff. We're tempted towards fluff, but, as business owners, we really can't afford it. There's no place for it. The temptation for fluff is especially true in Finance. Fancy charts and complicated spreadsheets masquerade as substance. Irrelevant ratios and misleading statistics might give a semblance of control. It's easy for fluff to arise from Finance. So, what should your Finance department produce in order for it's output to be meaningful and valuable? I have 4 things to work through.

Thriving Business Finances with Value-Based Pricing Strategies and the Profit First Model Running a successful business today requires more than just hard work—it takes strategy, clarity, and a sustainable approach to finances. Adopt value-based pricing strategies and implement the Profit First model to avoid burnout. Together, these two approaches enable business owners to set prices based on the value they provide, ensuring that profit is prioritized from the outset. Rethinking Your Worth with Value-Based Pricing Strategies: What Are You Providing? One of the most common pitfalls in business is undervaluing your work, particularly when pricing is based solely on the time spent. Instead of asking, "How long did this take me?" with value-based pricing strategies, we ask, "What difference is this making for the person I serve?" When you price based on value, you recognize the real impact of your work: peace of mind, business growth, clarity, and confidence. These things go far beyond time spent and deserve to be reflected in how you charge. Clients aren't just paying for your time—they're investing in meaningful change. And that change has measurable value. You deliver an ROI when you help a client increase their revenue, streamline operations, or reduce stress that leads to better decision-making. This return on investment (ROI) often exceeds the cost of your services. By clearly communicating that ROI—whether it's financial growth, time saved, or long-term stability—you make it easier for clients to see your services as an investment, not an expense. When you price according to the outcomes you create, you simplify your pricing, establish clear expectations, and reinforce the true worth of your services.

Today's episode is part two of a super interesting two-part conversation with Sam Reti, a music teacher and a visionary behind the popular online music lesson platform Muzie.Live. If you haven't listened to the first part, I highly encourage you to go back and listen to that one too. In this episode, Sam shares how a college class at Berkeley, countless Uber and Lyft rides and a whole lot of Chipotle burritos helped launch his first business. And why learning when to quit was just as important as knowing when to keep going. We talk about how the first app idea morphed into a second, and then a third, which is the music we know today. We talk about the decision to bootstrap instead of raising investor money, how Sam adapted when his original business idea didn't pan out, and what he's learned about growing a customer base organically in the music education world. Sam gives an honest behind the scenes look at startup life complete with all the messy, unglamorous realities you don't usually hear about. Here's my conversation with Sam.  A full transcript and resources from this episode can be found at MusicStudioStartup.com/episode166.   MSS Entrepreneurs Hub + Mastermind MSS Studio Launch Grant Competition Music Studio Business Building 101 Business Finance for Music Teachers

Ever wonder why your business shows profits on paper but your bank account tells a different story? Rocky Lalvani, the Profit Answer Man, joins us to shatter conventional accounting wisdom with a simple yet revolutionary approach: take your profit first.Most entrepreneurs follow the traditional formula of sales minus expenses equals profit, making your financial reward an afterthought—whatever happens to be left over. Rocky flips this equation, teaching that successful businesses approach it as sales minus profit equals expenses. This fundamental shift ensures you get paid first, forcing your business to operate within its means.Through riveting breakdowns of real-world scenarios, Rocky illuminates why even businesses with strong sales often struggle financially. From e-commerce sellers battling slim margins after marketplace fees to service businesses failing to account for their own time, the root problem usually traces back to incomplete math from the beginning. "If you didn't do the math on your business when you started," Rocky explains, "how did you know it would be profitable?"The conversation takes a fascinating turn examining the cash conversion cycle—how long it takes for a dollar invested to return with profit. For many e-commerce businesses, this cycle stretches beyond 160 days as products move from manufacturing to customer delivery to payment processing. This extended timeline creates a dangerous trap where growth actually threatens survival, as each new sale demands more cash before previous investments return.Rocky's airplane analogy perfectly encapsulates the entrepreneur's journey: "Running a business is like flying an airplane—you need to know your destination, have enough fuel to get there, and constantly course-correct along the way." Many businesses crash because they build an aircraft designed to carry more than it can handle, without enough runway to take off or fuel to reach their destination.Whether you're just starting your entrepreneurial journey or working to scale an existing business, this episode provides the financial clarity needed to build a company that serves your life rather than consuming it.

Key Takeaways: LLC vs. S Corp vs. C Corp = Different Tax Rules Think of your business like a costume—it can dress up as different types (like LLC, S Corp, or C Corp). Each costume changes how much tax you pay and how your money is handled. How You Pay Yourself Matters If you run your own business, you can pay yourself like a worker (salary) or take money out like an owner (distribution). Each way has different tax effects, so you want to choose smartly. Keep Up With the Rules Tax laws can change, kind of like rules in a game. You need to know the current rules to keep winning, but don't get so caught up in the future that you stop growing your business today. Plan Your Income and Deductions If you know how much money you're making and spending ahead of time, you can use that info to lower how much tax you owe. That's called “strategic planning,” and it saves you money. Think Big Picture With Your Finances Taxes are just one part of your business. To really succeed, you need to look at everything—how much you make, spend, save, and grow—like one big puzzle.

  In this episode of the Profitable Christian Business Podcast, host Doug Greathouse sits down with his good friend and financial coach Andy Bennetts to discuss two of the most misunderstood and mission-critical topics in the Christian entrepreneur world: faith and finances. With humor, depth, and practical wisdom, Andy shares how Christians can break free from debt, avoid the hidden traps of the traditional banking system, and walk in true financial stewardship. From uncovering the meaning behind the word mortgage to introducing his "Financial GPS" system, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to honor God with their finances while building a lasting legacy. This isn't just about money—it's about obedience, sacrifice, and freedom.

Phil McGilvray, a seasoned profit and cash flow strategist, offers a transformative approach to financial success for entrepreneurs. Drawing from his own journey from a high-earning corporate career to purpose-driven entrepreneurship, McGilvray developed the THRIVE framework—Transparency, Harnessing cash flow, Reclaiming joy, Investing, Vision, and Empire-building—as a practical, values-based system for long-term sustainability. He teaches that profitability must be built into a business model from day one, empowering entrepreneurs to make informed, confident financial decisions. At the core of McGilvray's philosophy is the belief that entrepreneurs should always pay themselves a fair salary and price their offerings based on real value delivered—not just market norms or features. His emphasis on simplicity, financial clarity, and lifestyle alignment challenges the common hustle culture and encourages business owners to track five essential numbers monthly: revenue, salary, expenses, taxes, and profit. By integrating systems that support both personal wellbeing and financial growth, McGilvray helps entrepreneurs build businesses that serve their lives—not consume them. For those ready to take control of their business finances, McGilvray's upcoming book, The Profit-Ability, will soon offer a comprehensive guide to his strategies and insights.

Today's episode is part one of a super interesting two-part conversation with Sam Reti, a music teacher and the visionary behind the popular online music lesson platform Muzie.Live. In this episode, Sam shares how a college class at Berkeley, countless Uber and Lyft rides, and a whole lot of Chipotle burritos helped launch his first business. And why learning when to quit was just as important as knowing when to keep going. We talk about how his first app idea morphed into a second and then a third, which is the Muzie we know today. We talk about the decision to bootstrap instead of raising investor money. How Sam adapted when his original business idea didn't pan out, and what he's learned about growing a customer base organically in the music education world. Sam gives an honest behind the scenes look at startup life complete with all the messy unglamorous realities you don't usually hear about.  Here's my conversation with Sam.  A full transcript and resources from this episode can be found at MusicStudioStartup.com/episode165.   MSS Entrepreneurs Hub + Mastermind MSS Studio Launch Grant Competition Music Studio Business Building 101 Business Finance for Music Teachers

This MTM Minute is powered by Move to Millions Live 2025   The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions.   In this week's full length episode of the Move to Millions Podcast, Bleeding Money: 3 Revenue Leaks Keeping You From 7 Figures,  Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon discusses how entrepreneurs can increase their cashflow by addressing the key revenue leaks in their business. She focuses on the importance of pricing strategies, sales systems, and client retention for scaling a business to seven figures. Dr. Darnyelle explains how to optimize your pricing model, implement an automated sales system, and monetize existing clients to maximize revenue without doing more work. Learn how to increase your lifetime client value, stop undervaluing your services, and position your business for sustainable growth by fixing revenue leaks. This episode provides actionable tips to help you elevate your business and start generating higher profits with the current clients you already have.   This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is "I am a savvy steward of my business, fully aware of the value I bring and the wealth I am creating. I understand the power of strategic pricing, efficient sales systems, and client retention, and I use these tools to maximize my revenue. I am confident in my ability to increase profits by optimizing what's already working in my business, ensuring every opportunity is leveraged for growth. My business is aligned with the seven-figure success I'm destined for, and I continuously optimize my strategies to make more while doing less."   Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Audit Your Revenue Streams: Take a deep dive into all of your current revenue streams. Are there any products, services, or offers that are underperforming or not aligned with your business's growth goals? Evaluate how you can either improve, repackage, or phase out underperforming offers. Make sure each revenue stream is strategically contributing to your bottom line. Implement a Sales System That Runs Without You: Develop a system that allows you to capture, nurture, and convert leads without needing to be directly involved in every step. Automating parts of your sales process will allow you to focus on high-level tasks while still increasing your revenue. Monetize Existing Clients More Effectively: Retaining clients and upselling additional services is often more profitable than constantly seeking new clients. Create offers that allow you to continue to serve your existing clients with additional value, and establish systems to keep them engaged and loyal for the long term.   Affirm with me: "I am a savvy steward of my business, fully aware of the value I bring and the wealth I am creating. I understand the power of strategic pricing, efficient sales systems, and client retention, and I use these tools to maximize my revenue. I am confident in my ability to increase profits by optimizing what's already working in my business, ensuring every opportunity is leveraged for growth. My business is aligned with the seven-figure success I'm destined for, and I continuously optimize my strategies to make more while doing less."   And this week's journal prompts are: I recognize the following money leaks in my business... "To optimize my revenue, I will raise my prices by... "The client retention strategy I will implement to better serve my existing clients is..."   And Your Prayer Of The Week:   Dear God,   We thank You for the abundant opportunities You have placed before us. We ask for Your guidance as we step into the fullness of the value we offer and the revenue we are meant to generate. Help us recognize the leaks in our business and give us the wisdom to plug them effectively. We pray for the courage to adjust our pricing, implement a streamlined sales system, and better serve our existing clients. May our businesses grow as we honor the value we bring and position ourselves to receive the abundance You have planned for us. In Your name, I pray. And So it Is. Amen.   Ready to shift the statistics in your favor by joining the top 4.2% of all business generating 7 figures or more a year?  If you are a small business owner or entrepreneur who has crossed six figures and you're ready to play bigger, we are on a mission to help you make the move to millions.  Visit movetomillions.com to learn all the ways we can equip you to make, move and leave millions.       Want more of Darnyelle?
