This week we are meeting with the Totally Nutz franchise opportunity - Matt Barker and his wife Yvette were successful marketing executives who became worn-out of the rat race and began looking for their "next big thing." That light bulb moment came as they recalled all the conferences they used to be present at and the thousands of people walking around each show with some kind of handout. Under the name Barker's Olde Fashioned Almonds, Matt and Yvette started roasting Cinnamon Glazed Almonds in 1990 and began selling their product at different fairs and festivals. Over the years, their customers would inform how much they enjoyed the product and wished more variety would be offered. Matt and Yvette started experimenting and came up with several delectable flavors and varieties. They changed the name to Totally Nutz in 1992 and launched their franchise opportunity in May 2014. In Part Two, we play a clip from our Great Quotes in Franchising podcast. Today's show is being brought to you by Ceterus.

On the first solo episode of this season, we're talking about yoga + self esteem. This episode is based off the principles of self esteem discussed in Nathaniel Branden's "The Six Pillars of Self Esteem". I discuss how yoga can improve self esteem + how the principles of self esteem are largely linked to the practice of yoga. I analyze each pillar one at a time, and they each build off one another to make up the big picture of a strong self esteem. I begin by defining self esteem, and then moving through the pillars in the following order: Living consciously Self Acceptance Self Responsibility Self Assertiveness Living Purposefully Integrity I believe that having a strong sense of self + a good self esteem is key to a happy life, and I truly believe that yoga can have a profound effect on how we feel about ourselves.

Levi Morehouse is not a yoga teacher, a yoga studio owner, or a yoga entrepreneur. He is a small business owner though, and his small business is an accounting + book keeping company called Ceterus. Ceterus' slogan is "let us do the rest" + they provide services for small business owners doing their accounting or book keeping. You may be curious why I wanted to talk to Levi. The reason is that I think that book keeping + accounting is something that many people in the yoga industry lack, and that's fair enough. We, as yoga teachers, are great at educating and sharing our knowledge of yoga. We are not accountants, we are not book keepers, and we are not (usually) super knowledgeable in the area of accounting + book keeping. And we shouldn't be. We should be focusing on the things that we are great at, and let someone else do the things that we aren't. This is exactly what Levi and I chat about on this episode of the podcast. Levi shares his passion for accounting + book keeping, his recommendations for yoga studio owners, and the services that Ceterus provides, as well as industry tips + tricks. Do you need help with your book keeping + accounting? Ceterus has offered a super awesome deal for listeners of the show! If you sign up here, you can get your first 3 months working with Ceterus for FREE. This is an awesome deal, so don't miss out! Join the community on Facebook, Instagram + sign up for the newsletter!
Derek Carter was racing along the path to partnership at a large accounting firm. He had graduated college with an accounting degree and spent years busting his ass, taking on more responsibility and leading at a large regional firm. He was managing people and working with autonomy in a large organization. But his former colleague Levi Morehouse kept trying to sell him on leaving. They had worked together before Levi left to start Ceterus and had been pushing for Derek to join ever since. Eventually, Derek decided to make the leap into the startup world. He's now the COO of Ceterus, one of the most innovative and fastest growing accounting startups in the country. Derek shares his backstory, from how he chose to pursue accounting, to deciding to leave his good job at a big firm to join a startup. Derek is an outstanding example of an implementer joining with a visionary to make big things happen.

The Top Entrepreneurs in Money, Marketing, Business and Life
Pulled a fast one on you today! TK is occupied in Chicago at a family wedding and told me the house he's staying in is way too loud and full of nieces and nephews to record today. I called him a wimp. He laughed. Keeping with the family theme, today my brother Levi Morehouse steps in as TK's replacement. He's the Founder & CEO of Ceterus (ceterus.com), which provides cloud-based accounting and bookkeeping for franchise owners. Levi is a ridiculously successful entrepreneur, father, and offensive fouler on the basketball court. It was just like growing up. I did most of the talking, he made most of the sense. Some of the things we discuss: -If you lived to 150, how would that change your lifestyle today? -Could you learn more as an Uber driver than a student? -Philosophers vs. Tony Robbins -Choosing what to do based on what it does to you, instead of what it does for the world -Unsung entrepreneurs (and how Levi's company helps them!) -Smart drugs Recommendations: BOLD by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler, Zero to One by Peter Thiel and Blake Masters. This and all episodes are available on SoundCloud, iTunes, Google Play, YouTube, and Stitcher.

The third episode in our startup series has my brother Levi come back to the show to talk about discovering your thing in entrepreneurship, bootstrapping and getting started, along with ways to grow without (big) investment. Levi's view is that there are no bad reasons for wanting to be an entrepreneur, whether you want the freedom (and responsibilities) that comes with entrepreneurship, or is it money that motivates you. What can be of help is if you know where you want your business to end up, or at least what kind of a startup you would like to embark on. We also talk about ways of funding that you can choose from, and how they depend on whether you are ready to cut the safety rope and leave your comfort zone. Probably the most important thing is not to wait for ‘the Perfect Idea', but also to be confident in steps that you are about to take. Levi is founder and owner of Ceterus that you can check out at http://ceterusinc.com
Yes, Levi is my brother. But this isn't nepotism. He's a highly successful entrepreneur. His company Ceterus is growing and revolutionizing small business accounting. He joins me to talk about why it took him so long to dream big, what greatness means, whether it's for everyone, and how to balance being an entrepreneur with raising five boys. (We had some issues with the levels on this episode, so I apologize for any drops or spikes in volume.)
