On today's episode of the podcast I talk with Melissa Houston, CPA and financial strategist for CEOs, about the importance of profitable businesses and increasing your networth. Melissa helps successful business owners increase their profit margins to keep more money in their pocket and increase their networth. she is a columnist at Forbes and host of the Business Society podcast. Small businesses benefit from a fractional CFO, a part time CFO for your small to medium-sized business (solopreneur to 10-50 employees with 7-8 figures a year) important to do your financial planning. A different look at small and medium sized businesses than the tax code that typically defines a small business as under $25 million in revenue. Too often business owners are focused on revenue, but if you're not bringing in and growing your profit, you're not going to last. 82% of businesses fail due to financial mismanagement because either you're spending more money than you're making or you have cash flow issues. Money is a vulnerable topic and we can carry money stories from as early as childhood with us as we grow our business. For example, if you struggle with pricing your products, that's a money mindset issue. You need to price your services to your value. Cash is queen! We often think about the importance of having an emergency fund of 3-6 months of expenses, but that also applies to our business because we all experience ups and downs in our business. When things are great, you need to think about the amount of cash you're putting aside when times get leaner to make sure there is more longevity to your business. When you are assessing your cash situation, let's say things are going well and you're saving money in your reserves, you need to plan ahead. You also have to consider lines of credits where you can pay interest on what you're borrowing, or loans. These are harder to get in the leaner times than it is when you have more money that can back them up. Post-COVID, it won't hurt you to have 6-12 months of savings, including owner's salary as a business expense. Too often Melissa sees business owners paying themselves with what's left over as opposed to budgeting to pay yourself regularly because everyone has personal expenses. It's also okay to reinvest in things that will make the business more profitable, but you need to keep ahead of it so that you stay profitable. You should include your salary before considering your profit margin because you have to pay yourself. Braden refers to profit before salary your owner profit and your profit after salary your business profit because that's what goes on your taxes. Profit can often look like a bell curve. In the beginning of your business your profit is kind of low because you may have expenses with little to no income. Then as the business grows you become more profitable, and then as it grows even more, you may hire more employees which may help increase revenue but make your profit go down, though 20% profit on 1 million dollar is still more money in your pocket than 50% profit on $100,000. It all depends on the business. Sometimes it's not the case to hire before you're ready, it depends on the workload you're dealing with, how it will increase your revenue, and how that increase and revenue and paying your new hire(s) will impact your profit. What do you need to show before you're ready to hire? If it's between a) Three consecutive months of profit to hire a person without an immediate ROI or b) I have enough saved to hire and pay a person for six months on top of my emergency savings. you'd want b. Having a 6 month runway is helpful, but it's still important to punch the numbers to see how it all works in the larger financial plan. Melissa advises even if you have in-house accounting support, you should always outsource your tax accountant. Not all CPAs are tax professionals, some are focused on other topics like profit optimization. It's also great to have a second set of eyes on your books. Your bookkeeper is not your CFO.

I was thankful to recently have an article published on Forbes by today's podcast guest, Melissa Houston, life coach, founder of The Business Society, and CPA. If you've ever wondered what the benefit is of hiring a CPA or a fractional CFO, Melissa is pulling back the curtain in this conversation on who you need, what to look for, and why having someone manage the finances of your business is critical to your success. Three important key points to listen for in this episode: The unconventional place Melissa starts with her clients before building a financial plan. Who you need to hire and the differences between a bookkeeper, CPA, and fractional CFO. And the critical importance of not going with the cheapest option. Number one tip for challenging and unpredictable economic times. How much do you need in reserves? How can you thrive during times of inflation? We cover it all. More than anything, my wish is that this conversation brings you hope that no matter what financial situation you find yourself in, there's no reason to feel shame or guilt around it. We can't be awesome at everything! That's why it's so great to have people like Melissa to guide us along the way.

This is a conversation that everyone will be able to relate to. Roger and Melissa keep it professional but will also make this personal. We each have destructive stigmas that we deal with that hold us back, especially when it comes to money. In fact, everyone has a unique money story. As accounting professionals are we inspiring and empowering our clients to be financially successful? It's not enough that we provide, we also need to be willing to teach business owners, CEO's their numbers in business so they can create more profit in their business. Ask yourself this, what are the similarities that exist between therapy and coaching? They'll also discuss how we can and should go ALL IN with our company and work ON our business. Oh, and they'll also discuss money “mismanagement” and the hole that it can become. Just because we're accountants doesn't necessarily mean we are perfect, great, or even good with our own money management, or should it? Have you at times felt like you are living with the imposter syndrome as an accountant? Sit back and enjoy this next conversation.

I'd love to wish you a happy kick-off for your Q3, but I'd also like to remind you to check in on the financial performance of your business. This episode is your Q2 check-in — I outline all the steps that you can take right now to keep your business healthy and on the right track! Too many business owners rely solely on the fact that sales are coming in to let them feel good about the way that their business is running. But just because you're selling, doesn't mean that your finances are in good shape! These same owners tend to ignore their numbers, only to discover an unpleasant or even shocking surprise later on. If you're not checking your numbers on a regular basis, then the truth is that you really do NOT know how your business is doing — and as a business owner, that should make you very nervous! In addition to checking in with your numbers, I also recommend that you develop your financial plan if you don't have one already (check out episode 48 of this podcast for more information) and ensure that your bookkeeping and bank reconciliations are up-to-date until June 30th.

Successful Negotiations for Entrepreneurs

“The art of negotiation is about so much more than dollars.” — Jen Proctor. Negotiation is a huge part of doing business successfully, but entrepreneurs aren't given how-to manuals along with their business licences. Luckily, today's guest happens to have a ton of experience — and is willing to share some great insights! Jen Proctor launched her career working with prestigious talent agencies, learning the ins and outs of negotiating (from BOTH sides) before deciding that it was time to launch her own. In 2017, she founded Cultivated Entertainment, her full-service talent booking agency. Over the last year, the agency's small team executed over 50 projects, including the 72nd Emmy Awards (the first major award ceremony to have a virtual format), The Drew Barrymore Show, and the Obamas' Dear Class of 2020.Being able to land and succeed with these huge projects takes stellar negotiating skills. Many people tend to be shortsighted in their negotiations and miss out on non-monetary benefits. “If you're not open to at least hearing the other side, then it's never going to work out,” Jen explains. “The way that I really approach things is almost with empathy… that, in turn, gives you a leg up and a little bit of power and a little more understanding.” In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you'll discover:‌ ‌>> Common negotiation issues that may hold you back from getting what you need. >> How & why to look beyond the cash in negotiations. >> Jen's top tips for effective negotiation.

I've got some real sh*t to share with you. And it ain't pretty.But it is super fricking empowering.Since starting my business over 3 years ago, every single year around the same time my world is totally shattered. It's a pattern. It's one that I know I fall into, and one I knew darn well I could avoid if I only knew what the h-e-double-hockeysticks to do about it.Every single year, I got hit with a surprise $10,000 tax bill. Now, I call it a surprise, because I just had no clue what the hell I was doing.

Everyone has an opinion on why Trump won the election. It had to be race or sexism. It had to be about electing an outsider. I had to do with not wanting a woman president. Racist, Sexist, Misogyny, Bigotry, Bully, Liar are all words that have been used to define Trump and his followers.But emotions and assumptions are not the way you find truth. You much use research, data, interviews, true journalism, and an honest look at not only Tump but also our culture. Cliff Oxford started to question the popular narrative and wanted to discover the truth about the election of Donald Trump. Was it racism, sexism, or something else?His book 'A Redneck Reverie:The Rationale for the Trump Phenomenon' which combines data-driven insights and real life experiences to explain Donald Trump’s election to the White House and the intersection with rural cultures across America. Having lived his life among both country folk and the elite, Cliff has the exact insights needed to not only help explain how we got here, but to provide guidance on the road moving forward.In today's conversation we dive deeper into the discoveries outlined in the book and how over 40 years of changes really led to the election of 2016. Cliff Oxford is founder of CliffCo., an international think tank symposium, and author of A Redneck Reverie: The Rationale for the Trump Phenomenon. A Redneck Reverie is Cliff’s third book. His two previous books, LAMBS (Liberal Arts Majors in Business Society) to Leaders and KNOW GROW EXIT-How Entrepreneurs Start and Finish Fast, continue his unique leadership roles in academia, journalism, and real-world entrepreneurship. Oxford started, built, and sold two national brands: Oxford Center for Entrepreneurs, which sold to Advantage Media and STI Knowledge, an Inc 13 company. Cliff won the Atlanta Entrepreneur of the Year award and landed the highly coveted spot as Visionary and Execution leader in the Gartner Group Magic Quadrant. He has been a featured columnist for The New York Times and Forbes and was named Atlanta’s Entrepreneur of the Year by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.

The business of modern slavery: what connects SDG 8.7 with its overarching SDG8?

The Rights Track

In Episode 7 of Series 5, Todd is joined by John Gathergood, Professor of Economics at the University of Nottingham, and Genevieve LeBaron, Professor of Politics at the University of Sheffield. John's research focuses on understanding consumer behaviour in financial markets, and more recently the impact of the COVID19 pandemic on households. Genevieve's work is at the forefront of the emerging evidence base on forced labour, human trafficking, and slavery in the global economy. In this episode, the discussion focusses on the interaction between the broader goals of SDG 8 and target SDG 8.7, which focuses on ending modern slavery by 2030. 0.00– 05.06 Todd begins the discussion by asking John to give an overview on the drivers of economic growth and the benefits of trade. Growth is seen as the result of a combination of technological evolution and the development of skills leading to increasingly efficient production processes However, the benefits of growth are not evenly distributed This leads to the creation of winners (the owners of capital and the organisers of production) and losers (those not in control of production processes) In John's view the current COVID pandemic has brought this inequality more sharply into focus, along with the need to ensure that economic growth does not come at the expense of exploitation of certain labour groups. 05.00 – 07.33 Todd asks John about the role of trade and John say it is fundamental in generating growth. He points out that: One of the foundations of the capitalist system is trade and specialisation. Trade facilitates specialisation and growth There have been waves of globalisation throughout history (often associated with pandemics) The last 30 years have seen the largest international movement of capital affecting the location of production and the development of increasingly complex supply chains, which has been good for growth However, he adds that the fragmentation of production has exacerbated inequality, made complex supply chains very difficult to monitor, and susceptible to labour exploitation. 07.33 – 10.36 In Genevieve's view, discussions on growth often overlook the business models at the centre of the mass production, fast turnover retail sector producing cheap disposable goods. Her research suggests the business models are “hard wired” to produce inequality and labour exploitation. Problems in supply chains are longstanding. Throughout history, capitalism has relied heavily on the exploitation of vulnerable groups for forced labour and slavery. 10.36 – 16.33 Genevieve's research, covering retail supply chains in China, tea and cocoa supply chains in India and Ghana, and garment supply chains in Southern India, has yielded several insights. Labour exploitation is not unusual. Common patterns emerge Why certain businesses have an endemic demand for forced labour How and why supply chains are set up to facilitate labour exploitation, in terms of how businesses make money from forced labour, and the business models they use There are clear and discernable patterns regarding both the supply and demand drivers of forced labour in global supply chains. She argues that: Although the geography of exploitation and the people involved has changed over time, some form of forced labour is a constant factor in the capitalist model of production throughout history Solutions to issues of labour exploitation need to go beyond looking just at supply chains and confront the structures which have given rise to these problems John adds that a key factor in supply chains is lack of accountability (anonymity) in the upper levels of supply chains, which is useful for efficient production, but can lead to labour exploitation lower down the chain. 16.33 – 19.50 The discussion moves on to the persistence of unfree labour globally.The current organisation of production encourages companies in countries with strong institutions often source their production from countries with weak institutions where the exploitation of the work force is easier. The prevalence of unfree labour in those countries may be low but the effective prevalence of induced slavery is high. Lack of accountability within supply chains is a major problem. John argues that forced labour should be treated as an “externality” and the cost should be borne by both producers and consumers, or governments should intervene. However, given the scale and complexity of supply chains enforcing compliance would be very difficult. 19.50 – 25.25 Todd asks Genevieve to summarise the effectiveness of constraints and regulation in the operation of supply chains. Three main mechanisms are reviewed. Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives Public Regulation, including labour laws, sub-contracting, and regulation of businesses International agreements and conventions She identifies an increasing reliance on voluntary industry initiatives due in part to the failure of governments to produce effective regulation of labour standards in global supply chains. Her new book, Combatting Modern Slavery, shows that corporate social responsibility initiatives have not been effective. She cites a number of factors: Wealth and economic power are concentrated at the top of the chain with increasingly tighter profit margins further down to allow suppliers to cover their costs Lack of regulation of supply chains by governments facilitates power imbalances in favour of the businesses at the top of the supply chain, and between owners and workers Governments have been “the architects' of globalisation and helped to set up supply chains in a way that has facilitated these imbalances and the conditions which lead to labour exploitation 25.25 – 30.50 The example of the fast fashion industry and the recent reports of exploitation of the local labour force in Leicester, United Kingdom, is discussed. The very low cost of garments for sale should be a warning to consumers that labour is being unfairly exploited Garments are being sourced at prices below the cost of production Labour exploitation is a sector wide problem and is the result of the business model. The situation in Leicester is well known and has been extensively reported by Sarah Connor of the Financial Times (see recent story) Although companies have made commitments to address the situation very little has happened to redress labour exploitation, and to alter the business model There is a need for new business models which don't rely on labour exploitation 30.50 – 36.46In the absence of effective measures to redress the situation Todd asks whether there are economic incentives which could be brought to bear. Raising consumer awareness is discussed. Genevieve highlights some issues. Finding products which do not have some connection to forced labour, given the limited effectiveness and credibility of ethical labelling systems. Evidence exists of labour exploitation in ethical and fair-trade products A crisis of credibility around ethical brands Instead, she argues for regulation which controls the activities of businesses at the head of the supply chain, a redistribution of profits down through the supply chain, businesses taking greater responsibility for what goes on in the supply chain and a greater role for the employed labour force in generating solutions. John argues for an increased criminal corporate liability placed upon people and businesses. 36.46 - end The discussion ends with John reflecting on the way forward. He believes consumer led approaches are unlikely to work and neither is it likely that companies reliant on manual labour can, or will, act to change the system. Regulation is, therefore, the main option available.

In this episode, and later in the show, we talk to Marc Morial(President & CEO of The National Urban League and Author of "The Gumbo Coalition") as we discuss his book, what it means to police with compassion and his interactions with President Obama. Timestamp 30:07 First, we talk to Dr. Bobby Parmar (Award-Winning Professor at the University Of Virginia) as we discuss his new book "The Power Of And" and also his film, to which he produces and is featured in, "Fishing With Dynamite". **More On Marc** As a Lawyer, Morial won the Louisiana State Bar Association's Pro Bono Publico Award for his legal service to the poor and disadvantaged. He was also one of the youngest lawyers, at age 26, to argue and win a major case before the Louisiana Supreme Court. As a Professor, Morial served on the adjunct faculty of Xavier University in Louisiana, where he taught Constitutional Law, and Business Law. As a Louisiana State Senator, Morial was named Legislative Rookie of the Year, Education Senator of the Year, and Environmental Senator of the Year, while authoring laws on a wide range of important subjects. As Mayor of New Orleans, Morial was a popular chief executive with a broad multi-racial coalition who led New Orleans' 1990's renaissance, and left office with a 70% approval rating. With vigor and creativity he passionately attacked his city's vast urban problems. Elected by his peers as President of the bi-partisan U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM), he served during the 9/11 Crisis and championed the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, and the Federalization of airport security screeners. As President of the National Urban League since 2003 he has been the primary catalyst for an era of change -- a transformation for the 100 year old civil rights organization. Under his stewardship the League has had record fundraising success towards a 250MM, five year fundraising goal and he has secured the BBB nonprofit certification, which has established the NUL as a leading national nonprofit. His creativity has led to initiatives such as the Urban Youth Empowerment Program to assist young adults in securing sustainable jobs, and Entrepreneurship Centers in 5 cities to help the growth of small businesses. Also, Morial created the National Urban League Empowerment Fund, which has pumped almost $200 million into urban impact businesses including minority business through both debt and equity investments. **More On Bobby** Associate Professor Bidhan ("Bobby") Parmar is the Shannon Smith Emerging Scholar in Business Administration. Parmar teaches First Year Ethics, Second Year electives on collaboration, and creative and critical thinking at the Darden School of Business. He was named one of the top 40 business school professors under 40 in the world and has won several teaching and research awards. Parmar's research interests focus on how managers make sense of uncertainty and collaborate in ways that create value for stakeholders. His work helps executives better handle ambiguity in their decision-making. Parmar's work has been published in Organization Science, Psychological Science, Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Experimental Psychology, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Organization Studies, Business & Society, and the Journal of Business Ethics. He has co-authored two books on stakeholder theory. Parmar works with executives in a wide variety of industries and functions on topics related to decision making, stakeholder management, design-thinking, leadership, and collaboration and influence. Parmar is a fellow at the Olsson Center for Applied Ethics and the Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University. Parmar is the Co-director of the Darden Experiential Leadership Development Lab, where students practice real-world leadership skills in stressful and interpersonally sensitive situations and get developmental feedback and coaching. Parmar lives in Charlottesville with his wife and two daughters. Follow The Startup Life Podcast Facebook Page Want gear from The Startup Life? Check out our gear!

Episode SummarySeptember 11th, 2001, was a day of horror that changed our sense of self and our place in the world. It also changed the US economy, shaping everything from government policy to how businesses operate. This episode explores the decades-long aftershock of that day, alongside those of another day in 2001: December 11th, when China joined the WTO. Examining these stories together challenges simple narratives that globalization will make societies richer and in time, more democratic. What comes next—and how should businesses prepare?

In most tellings, the 2000 tech crash is a straightforward story: the music stopped and unprofitable dot-com companies failed, paving the way for the more innovative companies of the Web 2.0 era. This episode explores a very different view of the tech crash: as a key turning point where the idealism of early web entrepreneurs gave way to new business practices that would in time, drive today’s backlash against technology companies—the “techlash.” This fresh look at tech’s evolution suggests new answers for idealism in tech, and for promoting greater equality and innovation in the US economy.
