(plus get a special bonus).CLICK HERE NOW: https://robmoore.directbullion.com Rob reveals his formula for early retirement based on his own experience of retiring three times! Rob shares his ICE investment framework, debunks common retirement myths and explains why a million pounds isn't enough anymore. KEY TAKEAWAYS Setting your retirement number is essential. Calculate how much annual income you want, double it for tax, then determine what capital sum would generate this. But remember, inflation will erode this over time. The best investment strategy combines income, capital and equity (ICE). Property and well run businesses offer all three elements, while other investments like gold or Bitcoin usually provide only one or two. Keep your largest expenses (housing, transportation, travel) as low as possible for as long as possible while investing heavily, rather than obsessing over small daily purchases. Continuously reinvesting profits rather than drawing income dramatically speeds up compounding, your capital pot grows faster, generating more income over time, protecting your wealth from both market volatility and your own spending habits. The fastest way to reach your retirement number is through business ownership which has the highest risk but greatest control. Property provides the most reliable passive income once you retire (combining income, capital appreciation, and equity potential). BEST MOMENTS "I retired at 29, not even a week, went on a week's holiday. My business partner was like, the world is fucked. Get back. I was bored anyway on the ski holiday." "You don't save for retirement. You plan for retirement. The only source of income from the government is taxation and you are the source of taxation, the only source of money from the banks, the savers, and the depositors, which is you." "You can never save your way to wealth. Savers are losers. Savings are degrading. The only way you can ever get rich is investing, either investing your time into your own company or investing your money into assets." "Warren Buffet says, well, everyone doesn't like it when their stock goes down. I love it when my stock goes down 'cause I just buy more." "Most people, when they're doing really well, they just spend it and waste it. But you wanna be planning for the rainy days, the lower days." "To get to your retirement age or number quicker, it's a business. But to retire, it's a property portfolio."

Lama Zopa Rinpoche begins with a reminder about the previous session's discussion of how beneficial it is to recite the Buddha's past bodhisattva life stories. He also talks about Lupa Rinpoche, a Nepalese lama who inspired many people to do nyung-näs and made a Dharma law that people could not kill animals in his past life.Regarding the Buddha's past bodhisattva life stories, Lama Zopa Rinpoche suggests that they need good chanting. In that way, it would appear in the public's view like singing a song and become even more inspiring. Rinpoche also suggests reading The King of Prayers and The Eight Verses of Thought Transformation for those occasions (birthdays, weddings, etc.). It's also good to set up extensive offerings, with many light offerings.Rinpoche briefly discusses the six preparatory practices and then gives a detailed description of the preciousness of this human life, with eight freedoms and ten richnesses. He states that this perfect human rebirth is more precious than mountains of gold.The first of these eight freedoms—the very beginning of the path to enlightenment—is freedom to practice Dharma by not being born in the hells. He explains the sufferings in each of the hell realms and highlights that freedom from these realms relies on two solutions: purifying past negative karma and vowing not to commit negative karma again. If you only practice purification without taking vows, then the purification practice becomes endless. With these two solutions, you can avoid the suffering of the lower realms and solve the difficulties of this life.Rinpoche advises that right now, with this freedom to practice Dharma by not being born in a hell realm, you can achieve any happiness you want. If you wish to achieve liberation from samsara and full enlightenment for sentient beings, you can obtain that. Rinpoche says this freedom is more precious than mountains of gold because it allows you to achieve the happiness of future lives. However, it doesn't last long; it can stop at any time; so, there's no time for meaningless activities —there's only time to practice Dharma.Rinpoche explains that there are many ways to practice Dharma. However, what makes life most meaningful is bodhicitta, which depends on guru devotion. Continuously practicing bodhicitta transforms your life, like transforming iron into gold.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia. Subsequent retreats were held in 2011, 2014, and 2018, hosted by the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo.Find out more about Lama Zopa Rinpoche, his teachings and projects at https://fpmt.org/

Send us a textEver wonder what truly separates exceptional coaches from those who merely get by? The answer lies not in any single technique or certification, but in an unwavering commitment to continuous growth.Throughout my 12-year coaching journey, I've witnessed a concerning pattern: promising coaches who invest deeply in their development for a few years before hitting a plateau. This stagnation doesn't just limit their toolkit—it actively drains their energy and diminishes their capacity to serve clients effectively. The moment you believe you've "arrived" as a coach is precisely when your impact begins to wane.The most transformative mindset shift happens when you embrace the reality that mastery is not a destination but a perpetual journey. Great coaches remain perpetually curious, exploring diverse modalities and perspectives—even those that challenge their established practices. They strategically identify specific skills to develop rather than consuming information haphazardly. The powerful question "I am committed to getting better at _____" creates the focus needed to bridge the gap between current capabilities and desired impact.Beyond individual learning, exceptional coaches surround themselves with growth-oriented communities featuring diverse strengths and perspectives. They deliberately step into uncomfortable environments where they aren't the most knowledgeable person in the room. This commitment to accountability within diverse circles catalyzes exponential growth through cross-pollination of ideas and approaches.Ready to elevate your coaching practice?

Agile is NOT Dead... It is Just in a New Era!The New Agile Principles1) Own The Problem & The SolutionAgile addresses complexity, where uncertainty reigns. There simply is no clear-cut solution to your problems. What is worse, the moment you apply a solution without understanding it, you surrender control and become a spectator.The first principle is to understand and fully accept that the only person who can decide what the solution might be is the person who is closest to the problem — you. Embrace this responsibility.2) Be a LearnerEffective problem-solving requires knowledge. The only way to take responsibility for your problems is by having the necessary knowledge at hand. And the only way you can do this is by becoming a scholar. Continuously learning.Knowledge is power. The more you know, the better you can understand your problem and the more solutions you will be able to come up with. The better you will be able to spar with others. The better you can take responsibility for your problems.Innovation rests on the shoulders of those who came before you.3) Be CriticalKnowledge is merely information. To wield knowledge effectively you need wisdom.Wisdom comes from scepticism, from asking questions, being aware of assumptions, deep analysis, seeking diverse perspectives and engaging in thoughtful discussion. Strive to understand the context and the limitations of the knowledge you have. Strive to discover the gaps in your knowledge.Being critical is the only way to discern what the value and applicability is of any knowledge.4) Be CreativeComplexity means continuously facing novel problems that demand original solutions. That can only happen with creativity. Experimentation.Accept that! Realize that that is the job!Again, you may stand on the shoulders of geniuses and most of what you create may be derivative, but in the context of your particular problem, the solution will always be an act of creation, something unique.5) Be HumbleWielding the previous principles effectively will do awesome things for your self-confidence. Solving problems will become a game you love to play.But beware! Arrogance is fatal. The only way to remain effective is by embracing humility and always accepting that whatever you come up with may and probably will fail, and can always be improved.Humility is the foundation of continuous improvement. It leads to the need to experiment and validate, a need to second-guess yourself, a quest to make absolutely sure your solutions truly work.6) Be a TeacherLast of all, be a teacher. This may sound weird, but the truth is that teaching solidifies understanding. Teaching, whether through your teams, through writing, presentations, or mentorship, forces you to articulate your thoughts clearly, and forces you to structure your knowledge and identify gaps in your understanding.This is the true sign of mastery of your profession.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

This episode of the Deliberate Leaders Podcast focuses on the critical distinction between planning and strategy, highlighting how confusing the two can negatively impact business outcomes. The host, Allison Dunn, positions that many businesses mistakenly focus on planning, which involves internal operations and resource management, rather than on developing a strategy that creates meaningful differentiation in the market.Key topics and examples discussed in the episode:Defining Strategy: A strategy is defined as an integrative set of choices that position a company to win in its market by outperforming competitors and delivering unique value to customers.Planning vs. Strategy: The host emphasizes that planning is simply a set of activities that, while controllable, do not guarantee competitive success. In contrast, strategy focuses on achieving a competitive outcome where customers choose your product or service over others.Southwest Airlines Example: Southwest Airlines is presented as a prime example of a company with a clear strategy. Instead of just planning routes and buying planes like major carriers, Southwest focused on becoming a reasonable-priced alternative to Greyhound.

From launching a finance blog in 2007 to creating major conferences like FinCon and TravelCon, and now running a CPA firm for content creators, PT shares his insights on diversification, adapting to industry changes, and maintaining profitability.   If you're an entrepreneur looking to build multiple income streams, navigate the shifting digital landscape, and optimize your financial strategies, this episode is packed with actionable insights!   In this episode, you will learn: How Philip built and scaled multiple businesses in blogging, events, and accounting. The major shifts in blogging and digital content creation over the years. How AI and search engines have disrupted traditional content models. Strategies for running a profitable conference and event business. Key financial mistakes content creators make—and how to avoid them. The importance of tax planning, retirement strategies, and financial systems for entrepreneurs. Why building a financial war chest is crucial for long-term success.   Key Takeaways: 1. Diversification is Key to Long-Term Success. Philip didn't rely on just one business—he built multiple streams of income: PTMoney.com – A personal finance blog that started in 2007. FinCon – A major annual conference for personal finance content creators. TravelCon – A travel content creator event. The Creator CPA – A tax and accounting firm focused on digital entrepreneurs. Each of these businesses operates differently, but Philip has found ways to integrate them so they support each other. 2. The Changing Landscape of Blogging and AI's Impact. Blogging used to be a hub for conversations, but social media took that engagement away. AI-powered search engines now provide direct answers, reducing website traffic for independent bloggers. Google prioritizes big media brands over independent creators, making it harder for small content sites to rank. Many creators are shifting to email newsletters, YouTube, and social media platforms where they can directly engage audiences.   3. Running a Profitable Conference Business. Philip runs two major creator-focused events, but COVID and rising travel costs disrupted the event industry. His advice: Build financial reserves so you can weather downturns. Continuously evolve your model—smaller events, hybrid events, or alternative pricing strategies may be needed. Understand the true cost for attendees—it's not just the ticket price; flights, hotels, and food add up significantly.   4. Financial Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make. Philip sees common financial pitfalls among entrepreneurs, especially content creators: Not setting aside 20% of income for taxes. Ignoring retirement planning (e.g., Solo 401(k)s, SEP IRAs). Mixing personal and business expenses. Failing to build a financial war chest to handle downturns. Solution: Work with a CPA, separate personal and business finances, and prioritize long-term financial stability over short-term spending.   5. Tax Planning vs. Tax Preparation. Most CPAs focus on tax prep (reactive) instead of tax planning (proactive). Strategic tax planning can help business owners reduce taxable income, plan for retirement, and optimize deductions. Meet with your CPA in September/October to plan before year-end. Tip: If your business revenue fluctuates, consider using Roth conversion strategies during low-income years to maximize tax advantages.   About Philip Taylor: Philip Taylor (PT) is a CPA, entrepreneur, and founder of FinCon. He also runs The Creator CPA, a tax firm specializing in financial services for content creators. His insights have been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, The Washington Post, and other major media outlets.   Conclusion: Philip Taylor's journey proves that multiple revenue streams, financial planning, and adaptability are key to long-term entrepreneurial success. Whether you're a content creator, business owner, or service provider, his advice on tax planning, cash flow management, and business diversification can help you increase profitability and protect against economic downturns.   Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ptmoney/ Twitter: https://x.com/ptmoney   https://taylorassociatescpa.com/cpa-for-content-creators/     Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Welcome to SEO Sundays where we will cover the importance of a landing page and how it is supposed to be optimized for search engines.Key SEO Factors to Consider: Landing Page Definition and Differentiation: A landing page is defined as a highly specific, targeted page with a clear singular goal, distinct from other website pages like blogs, product pages, "About Us" pages, or "Contact Us" pages. "A landing page is a place where people get one thing. They get one result... It's that specific, it's that targeted and it's that niche." "A landing page is different from a blog page. It's different from a product page, right? It's different from an FAQ page. It's different from an about page. It's different from a contact page. It's different from another page on your website." The Importance of Visibility and SEO: Having a website is not enough; it must be visible and connected to the target audience through effective SEO. A website that isn't ranking is essentially useless, even if it has great content. "There's no reason why your website should not be ranking. But because it's not connected, you can't see beyond what you're looking at because all you're seeing is a brick. It's a wall." "It's not just having a page, it's having a landing page that actually is being seen." Quality over Quick Fixes: While services like Fiverr and Upwork can offer quick solutions, building a brand requires attention to detail, quality materials, and a unique voice. "Yes, definitely please go there [Fiverr, Upwork, YouTube] if you want something that is quick, something that is very easy to understand, something that just gets you off your feet. But if you're looking for something that has your brand, your voice, your style, your code, your theme, your palette, things that you care about because there's detail."Do you need website development optimization? Click here to schedule a free website development consultation.Actionable Takeaways: Clearly define the specific goal of each landing page. Conduct thorough SEO audits and implement best practices. Prioritize a user-centric design with clear calls to action. Continuously monitor and analyze user behavior to optimize landing pages. Focus on providing genuine value and building trust with potential clients. Own your website domain and ensure you have full control.
