It is exactly the opposite. It typically is set up in the early childhood development years. Often, they are experiences which you can't readily or easily access; but your brain remembers them well and put an identification label/marker on each of them, as and when they occurred.You cannot necessarily find or access them or the details about them. The brain does it's job well and blots them out from you finding them, so that you do not have a nervous breakdown.They have been put in boxes. Nailed down and labels attached saying "DO NOT OPEN. We do not lift the lid off these boxes. They contain uncomfortable stuff. They are stored in this area of the brain, to help you get through life without them (too frequently) causing disruption".They are filed in certain parts of your brain, which are not easily accessible without the right password, situation and environment. They can be prematurely triggered out in situations like watching a Netflix movie. (We need to be balanced in our advertising of Netflix and so add.... Amazon Prime, BBC player, Apple TV, a box set etc!).EMDR beckons folks.

Welcome back to our search for the worst album ever made, here on Trve. Crvp. Pop!, the Trve. Cvlt. Pop! spin off. Nice eh! This week Steve and Sam are looking at the debut album from US electro duo The Chainsmokers, Memories... Do Not Open, released on the 7th of April 2017.Who are The Chainsmokers you ask? Well, it's only Andrew "Drew" Taggart and Alexander "Alex" Pall, a pair of "musicians" from New York, who decided to pool their "TALENTS" together to create some electronic dance music back at the start of the 2010's when that sort of thing began to get popular in the USA. Their first hit was 2014's #Selfie, which was a deeply obnoxious, but weirdly popular, viral hit about how women are stupid, vacuous idiots, set to the sound of tuneless, brainless dubstep! Ugh! Well... at least they can't get any worse eh!... you might want to sit down, we have some bad news. Memories... Do Not Open is every bit as bad as its title would suggest, but instead of energy drink glugging, Spring Break-core, it is full of weepy, electro, plinky piano self-loathing and "deep" lyrical content. Somehow, it manages to make The Chainsmokers even more dislikable than they already were. Some achievement, and it makes our hosts as angry as they have ever been in podcast form for some time. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Today I want to talk about cash and cash flow. It doesn't matter how much money you make; what's important is how much you keep after paying all your monthly expenses. Many podiatry businesses struggle in their first few years because they've entered their business venture full of enthusiasm and wearing rose-coloured glasses, but when the dust settles after all the excitement, they realise there are a lot of expenses attached to running a podiatry business properly. Worst case scenario, they start to run out of money before they run out of month because the money going out is far exceeding the money coming in. Having a negative cash flow cannot be sustained long-term. Were They Dumb? I personally know a couple who spent over $200,000 to set up their podiatry business on the Sunshine Coast, and they went broke within 12 months. Was it because they were dumb? Well, the jury is still out on that, but from the outset, this is what I observed. They began their business venture with limited capital and therefore borrowed too much money, resulting in larger than normal monthly repayments, which immediately ate into their monthly cash flow. They purchased equipment they did not need. There was no delayed gratification, they wanted everything from day one. They made purchases for their home and added them to the business repayments. That was really dumb. They gave out a lot of accounts and didn't chase them up. They also gave discounts unnecessarily. They took financial advice from unqualified family and friends. Right from day one, they were trading with insufficient capital, and their cash in was far less than their cash out, which caused them a lot of stress, and lead to dumb and dumber decisions. Starting a business this way is ridiculous. Established Businesses I'd like to point out that running out of money before running out of month is not just a problem for new podiatry businesses, it can also happen to establish podiatry businesses if they do not pay attention to their cash flow and monthly expenditure. I recall talking with an insolvency expert, and he said you'd be surprised how many highly intelligent health professionals declare bankruptcy. After watching the couple from the Sunshine Coast and seeing it first-hand, I knew he was not exaggerating. Accounts If your business gives out accounts, you need to have a strict account policy, and everyone needs to adhere to it, and if a patient is ever late with a payment, you should have processes in place to follow them up. And you should never give them additional credit, hoping they will pay. When I had my podiatry business, I had a zero-account policy, the same policy as most grocery stores. Yes, a few patients did complain, but after complaining they paid for their treatment in full and made their next appointment. When they returned for their next appointment, they never asked for an account a second time. After 30-plus years, and tens of thousands of patients I had no bad debts. If you're catching yourself saying, I COULDN'T DO THAT WITH MY PATIENTS, at least give it a go and see what happens. It Is Possible Every business should also work towards having enough cash in their bank account to cover all their expenses, including wages, for at least three months. Less Stress You may or may not agree with this three-month cash flow tactic, but lack of money is stressful, and stress affects your judgment and decision-making capabilities. You want to build your podiatry business with a clear head, not a cloudy head concerned with paying next month's rent, wages and other expenses. Good cash flow allows you to: Pay all your accounts on time, which suppliers love, and it builds trust. And if you do get in a financial pickle at some stage, your suppliers will help you where they can. Purchase in bulk and make significant savings. Save money on freight because you're ordering fewer times throughout the year. Build trust with your team. Your team sees everything, and nothing destroys confidence in a business more than ongoing phone calls and emails from creditors. Wait 12-18 Months So here's my warning: DO NOT OPEN your podiatry business if you don't have enough capital and the cash to sustain the business. If money is tight, consider waiting another 12 to 18 months and do it properly because you also need to allow money for marketing, which will be crucial to your podiatry business's long-term success. Many businesses do not allow for marketing in their budget, and when their cash flow is tight, marketing tends to be the first thing business owners want to cut, which is a huge mistake. Today's Summary Cash is King Cash flow is also a King and you want to see your cash flow going upwards. If your business does give accounts, limit the payment terms, and get paid faster. Aim to have enough cash in your bank account to cover three months of expenses so you can think clearly. A good payment history with your suppliers builds trust. Don't rush into business ownership if you don't have the capital and cash flow to start correctly.

Kevin looking for Trouser hangers, but comes across a box that says Do Not Open in Andy's Closet. Kevin finds out they are tapes. What type of tapes well you have to find out on this episode of the Bling Blong Podcast to findout.
This episode was originally released March 15th, 2019.For episode 38, Geoff Moes (@ThallidTosser on Twitter), Nat Moes (@GrandpaBelcher), and Josh Chapple (@joshchapple) talk with Matt Hazard (@winedope) about the most recent invitational Vintage tournament he held at his house, and how you can host similar local events.00:30 – Matt Hazard, Magic Man01:00 – Just Because We Haven’t Adequately Tested London Mulligan Doesn’t Mean We Can’t Share Extremely Uninformed Opinions About It08:20 – The Return of the Hazardvitational and How to Host Your OwnTotal runtime: 40:43 Baselessly Speculating About London Vintage (and Magic in general) has been in a bit of a snit recently as players discuss the implications of the London mulligan, which will be tested at the upcoming Mythic Championship II. If the test goes well, the new rules would replace the current Vancouver mulligan rules. In brief, the London mulligan has players continue to draw seven cards for each mulligan and then put a card on the bottom of the library for each time they’ve mulliganed. So if you mulligan twice, you’ll draw seven cards, pick your five favorite, and put two cards on the bottom of your library. We’ve tested with this a few times in Middle School and Vintage pickup games, and it hasn’t made a huge amount of difference in most games. Where you’re keeping seven or six cards, for example, it’s equivalent to the current, or nearly so. At more than four mulligans (keeping three cards or fewer), you’re still so far behind on materiel that your chances are vastly depleted, even if you keep a solid looking trio or pair of cards. So the real test seems to be in keeping four or five cards, where you might have a powerful way to recover—Ancestral Recall, or Workshop-Trinisphere for example. Regardless, even with this potentially strengthened mulligan rule, we don’t think you want to mulligan. Cards are just too powerful a resource. So we don’t think this will be too-too upsetting for Eternal formats. In reality it will just make players feel better when they have to mulligan a long way down. But! In any case, it would be a shame if Mishra’s Workshop or Bazaar of Baghdad to be restricted based on a mulligan rule change, since they’ve been vibrant parts of the metagame for so long. How to Run a Magic Tournament at Your House A couple weeks ago 29 players showed up at the home of Matt Hazard in Columbus, hungry for the competition of a Vintage tournament and the fun of a casual environment. For an average suburban house, that’s a lot of people, particularly if you need them to have enough room between them to comfortably play a game of Magic. Matt and his wife, Trece, have hosted a similar event for four years in a row now, growing in scale each year. The first few years they had three dogs and two cats, and now they have a young kid to contend with among all the hubbub. And they do a great job! This is one of the Ohio Vintage community’s favorite tournaments. There are so many things to take into account if you want to host a similar event, but it can be done. Aspects include: seating, tournament organization, food and drinks, and prizes. Butts in ChairsThe first thing Matt suggested was making sure you have enough places to put the games. His dining-room table only seats six, so with 23 more players to fit, we were spread out at the kitchen island (4), another table in the dining room (6), the living room (4), and the basement (8), including games on an ottoman and some borrowed folding tables. Knowing how many players you’ll be serving gives you a sense of scope for the event. Be realistic about how many you can host, and be firm in capping the event if necessary. It will be more than uncomfortable to cram players in where there’s not actually enough room for them. Names in SpreadsheetsThen you need to put all those players into some sort of tournament organizer software. Wizards Event Reporter is the “official” software but shouldn’t technically be used for events with playtest cards. Plus everyone in WER needs a DCI number. We are more likely to use MtG Arena (not the online MTG game), which is free and uses the same algorithm to calculate player rankings. It requires only a Google ID to login, and the only difficulty is that it’s hard to re-pair if something gets off mid-round. You can print off pairings, or put them on a big TV, or just shout them out. For smaller events, a little yelling never hurt anyone. I’ll also recommend knowing and making clear how many rounds will be played and how a winner will be determined, so there’s no confusion toward the end. Typically you play N Swiss rounds for P players, where 2N – P isn’t negative. So 3 rounds for 8 players, 4 rounds for 8 to 16, 5 rounds for 16 to 32, and 6 rounds for wow, you have a lot of friends. There are plenty of options to determine a winner: Swiss and elimination rounds (usually top-eight for more than 16 players), Swiss+1, or – as Josh suggested for small events – round robin. BeveragesThe Hazardvitational and other events at peoples’ houses (like TSI Steveland, which we talked about recently) have asked players to bring their own drinks. It helps make sure everyone has something they like and takes a lot of burden off the hosts for supplying. Team Serious tends to go through a lot of Jägermeister, Malört, and Hamm’s because we hate ourselves. This year we even imported the “Dressed Hamm’s” from Chicago, which is better than it sounds, really. Food Breaks Are NiceOur home-based events have also typically included a break in the middle of the event for food. The Hazard’s had everyone throw money in a bowl for a big pizza order from Columbus-area favorite Donato’s, ending up with 15 large pizzas in all (almost half a pizza per person). Geoff’s invitationals have ordered in subs or burritos from Jimmy John’s or Chipotle. Coordinating a big grill-fest of burgers and hotdogs has worked as well too at events, in part because someone who’s not playing can serve as grillmaster. Regardless, food helps ground everyone and is another event people can socialize around. Prizes Are Nice TooAnd of course there are prizes to think of. Some Team Serious Invitational series have traditional prize structures that ask for entry fees and then condense those to pay out to the top four or eight players. This can be tricky since the prizes have to be bought in advance with a prospective amount of money based on the number of confirmed players. Often players or teammates are interested in selling cards to this venture, but you have to hope that the right mix of cards comes available at the same time as the money or risk over- or under-spending for prizes. The Hazardvitational bypasses this hangup by skipping the entry fee and asking players to donate prizes, suggesting a value of $20 or more. Cards are frequent additions to the pool, and we’ve had things like Dual Lands, Jaces, Commander decks, complete sets, and various user-created packages. Jake Hilty put a complete Middle School deck in the pool for this event, which was awesome. We’ve also had non-Magic prizes like alcohol (including Josh Chapple’s prize of bitters and a cocktail recipe book) and even a Sawzall, which went highly in the structure. Recent additions to the prize pool have been “mystery box” prizes, which are pretty much what they sound like. The sky’s the limit, and part of the prize is the fun of opening an unknown quantity. Ben Perry consistently outdoes himself in this category, as this year’s “Do Not Open” box included a choice of keeping a Tundra or one of two further mystery packages. The chosen prizes were intended to be given to other players of the winner’s choice and turned out to be more Middle School cards. In the end there are lots of ways to put a home tournament together. These are just basic ideas, and you can feel free to modify as necessary. In Case You Want to StreamI also didn’t get a chance to mention this in the podcast, but I devised a much-improved streaming rig for holding a camera above a game of Magic. Instead of using two vertical posts with a crossbar, I got a boom stand with a single counterweighted arm, like this. What an improvement! The stand can be put to either side of the table, or even behind one of the players, and is so much stabler than the previous crossbar. I was able to glue the camera to a section of dowel and use the protective cap as a method of attachment to the end of the boom, so the camera screws on and off and angles can be adjusted. I didn’t have sand to weigh the bag, so obviously I used basic lands. I’m really pleased with this new setup and am looking forward to using it in the future. Working With Land Grant In the last episode we talked about an upcoming (now past) Old School event run alongside Magic Fest Cleveland, hosted by the Cleveland Rocs at BottleHouse Brewery and Mead Hall. The event ran smoothly, everyone had a great time, and the event organizers were able to donate more than $1,700 to Providence House, a Cleveland-area family crisis center. This episode we talk about contacting Land Grant Brewing to help us make a more fun event by providing fine liquid refreshment to players. Josh Chapple operates under a policy of “Don’t ask, don’t get,” so he asked and we got. In this case we told them that Land Grant is actually a Magic card, and they asked for one for their trophy case. A fair exchange, for sure. There’s a lot of power in the Magic community, even among smaller groups like local Vintage or Old School scenes. Charity events are wonderful opportunities to combine the people-power and (let’s be honest) money inherent in these groups and put them to good use. It’s an attempt to make a difference where it’s needed. So many Magic events are inward looking, with players essentially giving back to themselves. Charity events are outward looking, good for everyone involved. Following the Hazardvitational, we contacted Land Grant again to set up what I hope will be a longer-term relationship, presenting the opportunity to do a similar charity event to the Cleveland Rocs partnership with BottleHouse. Magic players get a place to play and a chance to help out their community, and a local business gets a similar chance to give back, some promotion, and a captive audience of consumers for an afternoon. Land Grant was excited about the option, even offering to donate 20% of their day’s profits to the charity as well. Sounds pretty win-win-win! I’m really excited about this, hoping we can match the Rocs’ results. Right now we’re looking at an event on May 18, with more details to come. Look forward to it! So What Happened at the Hazardvitational? Jaco won the Hazardvitational playing four-color Paradoxical Outcome, beating David Lance on Survival. Other Top 8 decks were Ravager Shops, Paradoxical Oath, Humans, Grixis Xerox, and Griselbrand Oath. You can see these lists as well as plenty of photos from the event on The Mana Drain. Enjoy, they’re fun! Matt Hazard, our gracious host, played a mono-red aggro control deck with lots of Blood Moon effects and Null Rods. The idea is very much to hinder your opponent’s mana, empty your hand, and attack with aggressive creatures like Lupine Prototype and Bloodrage Brawler. Not one to shy away from interesting cards, he also included a maindeck Hellspark Elemental and a sideboard Pardic Miner, which gets talked about in the audio. I’ll let you look them up. Josh Chapple played his usual: BUG Control. It’s a typical looking list, one that you hope is metagamed properly for the event you’re playing. That’s difficult at a lot of Team Serious events where you might face Matt Hazard Mono-Red or a deck that includes a bunch of cards with “Predator” in the name so it can coordinate with the player’s donated prize. Anyway, when the right answers for your opponent’s strategy find their way to you in time, your game will go well. Otherwise, it’s a fun battle. I played Turn-One Tendrils (a.k.a. SX or Meandeck Tendrils), a deck that’s more of a thought experiment than an actual competitive deck. There has been much written about the archetype, but it doesn’t show up because it’s weak against so many kinds of disruption and is tricky to play well, let alone perfectly. I had fun and had a lot of time to eat and talk to people and hang out between rounds. I died once to Spoils of the Vault. Questions for Discussion What’s the best prize you’ve ever won playing Magic: The Gathering? Would you rather have a known prize or a mystery box? Would you have guessed 30 people would each eat an average of half a pizza? “Dressed Hamm’s” or “Spiced Hamm’s”? Have you tried one? They’re better than you thought, right? Did you have to look up Pardic Miner? Concluding Remarks Thanks for listening! We definitely believe that friendship and fun are the primary reasons to play Vintage, so we’re glad to make friends with our fans. If you want any advice about hosting a tournament in your own private space, invitational or otherwise, please feel free to reach out. We’ll look forward to any questions or comments here or The Mana Drain or on Twitter. You can also email us at seriousvintagepodcast@gmail.com.
This episode was originally released March 15th, 2019.For episode 38, Geoff Moes (@ThallidTosser on Twitter), Nat Moes (@GrandpaBelcher), and Josh Chapple (@joshchapple) talk with Matt Hazard (@winedope) about the most recent invitational Vintage tournament he held at his house, and how you can host similar local events.00:30 – Matt Hazard, Magic Man01:00 – Just Because We Haven’t Adequately Tested London Mulligan Doesn’t Mean We Can’t Share Extremely Uninformed Opinions About It08:20 – The Return of the Hazardvitational and How to Host Your OwnTotal runtime: 40:43 Baselessly Speculating About London Vintage (and Magic in general) has been in a bit of a snit recently as players discuss the implications of the London mulligan, which will be tested at the upcoming Mythic Championship II. If the test goes well, the new rules would replace the current Vancouver mulligan rules. In brief, the London mulligan has players continue to draw seven cards for each mulligan and then put a card on the bottom of the library for each time they’ve mulliganed. So if you mulligan twice, you’ll draw seven cards, pick your five favorite, and put two cards on the bottom of your library. We’ve tested with this a few times in Middle School and Vintage pickup games, and it hasn’t made a huge amount of difference in most games. Where you’re keeping seven or six cards, for example, it’s equivalent to the current, or nearly so. At more than four mulligans (keeping three cards or fewer), you’re still so far behind on materiel that your chances are vastly depleted, even if you keep a solid looking trio or pair of cards. So the real test seems to be in keeping four or five cards, where you might have a powerful way to recover—Ancestral Recall, or Workshop-Trinisphere for example. Regardless, even with this potentially strengthened mulligan rule, we don’t think you want to mulligan. Cards are just too powerful a resource. So we don’t think this will be too-too upsetting for Eternal formats. In reality it will just make players feel better when they have to mulligan a long way down. But! In any case, it would be a shame if Mishra’s Workshop or Bazaar of Baghdad to be restricted based on a mulligan rule change, since they’ve been vibrant parts of the metagame for so long. How to Run a Magic Tournament at Your House A couple weeks ago 29 players showed up at the home of Matt Hazard in Columbus, hungry for the competition of a Vintage tournament and the fun of a casual environment. For an average suburban house, that’s a lot of people, particularly if you need them to have enough room between them to comfortably play a game of Magic. Matt and his wife, Trece, have hosted a similar event for four years in a row now, growing in scale each year. The first few years they had three dogs and two cats, and now they have a young kid to contend with among all the hubbub. And they do a great job! This is one of the Ohio Vintage community’s favorite tournaments. There are so many things to take into account if you want to host a similar event, but it can be done. Aspects include: seating, tournament organization, food and drinks, and prizes. Butts in ChairsThe first thing Matt suggested was making sure you have enough places to put the games. His dining-room table only seats six, so with 23 more players to fit, we were spread out at the kitchen island (4), another table in the dining room (6), the living room (4), and the basement (8), including games on an ottoman and some borrowed folding tables. Knowing how many players you’ll be serving gives you a sense of scope for the event. Be realistic about how many you can host, and be firm in capping the event if necessary. It will be more than uncomfortable to cram players in where there’s not actually enough room for them. Names in SpreadsheetsThen you need to put all those players into some sort of tournament organizer software. Wizards Event Reporter is the “official” software but shouldn’t technically be used for events with playtest cards. Plus everyone in WER needs a DCI number. We are more likely to use MtG Arena (not the online MTG game), which is free and uses the same algorithm to calculate player rankings. It requires only a Google ID to login, and the only difficulty is that it’s hard to re-pair if something gets off mid-round. You can print off pairings, or put them on a big TV, or just shout them out. For smaller events, a little yelling never hurt anyone. I’ll also recommend knowing and making clear how many rounds will be played and how a winner will be determined, so there’s no confusion toward the end. Typically you play N Swiss rounds for P players, where 2N – P isn’t negative. So 3 rounds for 8 players, 4 rounds for 8 to 16, 5 rounds for 16 to 32, and 6 rounds for wow, you have a lot of friends. There are plenty of options to determine a winner: Swiss and elimination rounds (usually top-eight for more than 16 players), Swiss+1, or – as Josh suggested for small events – round robin. BeveragesThe Hazardvitational and other events at peoples’ houses (like TSI Steveland, which we talked about recently) have asked players to bring their own drinks. It helps make sure everyone has something they like and takes a lot of burden off the hosts for supplying. Team Serious tends to go through a lot of Jägermeister, Malört, and Hamm’s because we hate ourselves. This year we even imported the “Dressed Hamm’s” from Chicago, which is better than it sounds, really. Food Breaks Are NiceOur home-based events have also typically included a break in the middle of the event for food. The Hazard’s had everyone throw money in a bowl for a big pizza order from Columbus-area favorite Donato’s, ending up with 15 large pizzas in all (almost half a pizza per person). Geoff’s invitationals have ordered in subs or burritos from Jimmy John’s or Chipotle. Coordinating a big grill-fest of burgers and hotdogs has worked as well too at events, in part because someone who’s not playing can serve as grillmaster. Regardless, food helps ground everyone and is another event people can socialize around. Prizes Are Nice TooAnd of course there are prizes to think of. Some Team Serious Invitational series have traditional prize structures that ask for entry fees and then condense those to pay out to the top four or eight players. This can be tricky since the prizes have to be bought in advance with a prospective amount of money based on the number of confirmed players. Often players or teammates are interested in selling cards to this venture, but you have to hope that the right mix of cards comes available at the same time as the money or risk over- or under-spending for prizes. The Hazardvitational bypasses this hangup by skipping the entry fee and asking players to donate prizes, suggesting a value of $20 or more. Cards are frequent additions to the pool, and we’ve had things like Dual Lands, Jaces, Commander decks, complete sets, and various user-created packages. Jake Hilty put a complete Middle School deck in the pool for this event, which was awesome. We’ve also had non-Magic prizes like alcohol (including Josh Chapple’s prize of bitters and a cocktail recipe book) and even a Sawzall, which went highly in the structure. Recent additions to the prize pool have been “mystery box” prizes, which are pretty much what they sound like. The sky’s the limit, and part of the prize is the fun of opening an unknown quantity. Ben Perry consistently outdoes himself in this category, as this year’s “Do Not Open” box included a choice of keeping a Tundra or one of two further mystery packages. The chosen prizes were intended to be given to other players of the winner’s choice and turned out to be more Middle School cards. In the end there are lots of ways to put a home tournament together. These are just basic ideas, and you can feel free to modify as necessary. In Case You Want to StreamI also didn’t get a chance to mention this in the podcast, but I devised a much-improved streaming rig for holding a camera above a game of Magic. Instead of using two vertical posts with a crossbar, I got a boom stand with a single counterweighted arm, like this. What an improvement! The stand can be put to either side of the table, or even behind one of the players, and is so much stabler than the previous crossbar. I was able to glue the camera to a section of dowel and use the protective cap as a method of attachment to the end of the boom, so the camera screws on and off and angles can be adjusted. I didn’t have sand to weigh the bag, so obviously I used basic lands. I’m really pleased with this new setup and am looking forward to using it in the future.

Meredith and Kaytee have a special guest again this week to discuss our favorite picture books for the 2-5 year kiddos in your life! You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each host: an author event, kid librarians, and a fantastic iTunes review. Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. We are each talking about two recent reads and we’ve got a variety of new titles that we cannot wait to discuss this week.

Today I want to talk about cash, or more specifically cash flow and why cash is king. It doesn’t matter how much money you make, what’s important is how much of it you have available after collecting all payments and paying out all your monthly expenses. Many businesses struggle in their first few years because they’ve gone into their business venture full of enthusiasm and wearing rose coloured glasses, and then quickly run out of money because the money going out exceeds the money coming in. Were They Dumb? I knew a couple who spent over $200,000 to open a podiatry business on the Sunshine Coast, and they went broke within 12-months. Was it because they were dumb? Well, the jury is still out on that, but from what I observed it was a cash flow problem from day one. From the outset they: Began their business venture with limited capital and therefore borrowed too much money, resulting in larger than normal monthly repayments, which immediately ate into their cash flow. Purchased equipment they did not need Made purchases for home and added it to the business repayments. (That’s pretty dumb) Gave out accounts without any questions Gave discounts too often Got financial advice from unqualified family and friends Began with limited CASH Right from day one, they were trading with insufficient cash flow, and this caused them a lot of stress. Starting a business this way is crazy. Established Businesses But, I’d like to point out running out of money before running out of the month is not just a problem for new businesses either, it can also happen to establish businesses if they do not pay attention into watching their cash flow and monthly expenditure. Even a successful business can go broke if they are not getting paid fast enough. If you must pay $10,000 rent this month, a $20,000 payment owed to you in 90-days is not very helpful, so the speed at which your accounts are paid is important. Accounts If your business gives out accounts you need to have a strict account policy and everyone needs to adhere to it and if someone is late with a payment, there should be a process to follow and do not give them additional credit hoping they will pay. When I had my podiatry business I had a zero account policy, and yes, a few patients did complain, but they also made an appointment and paid their account in full. And they returned and never asked for an account a second time. After 30 years I had no bad debts. It Is Possible You may be thinking this is impossible in your industry and maybe that’s true, but still, give it some thought, or at least review your current payment terms. If your invoice says 30, 60 and 90-days then you’re telling everyone they’ve got 90-days. Why not change it to 7, 14, 21-day and overdue. I feel that every business should work towards having enough cash in their bank account to cover all their business expenses, including wages for a minimum of three months. Less Stress You may or may not agree, but that’s my thinking because lack of money is stressful, and stress affects your judgment and decision-making capabilities. You want to build your business with a clear head, not a cloudy head concerned with paying next month’s rent. Good cash flow allows you to: Pay all your accounts on time, which suppliers love, and it builds trust. And if for any reason you did get in a financial pickle down the track, your suppliers will help you where they can. Gives you the ability to purchase in bulk and make significant savings. Saves money on freight because you’re ordering fewer times throughout the year. Build trust with your team. Your team sees everything, and nothing destroys confidence in business more than ongoing phone calls and emails from creditors Wait So here’s my warning: DO NOT OPEN your business if you don’t have enough capital and the cash to sustain the business. You are better to wait for another 12 to 18 months and do it properly because you also need to allow money for marketing. Marketing is going to be a key component to your business success, and many new businesses do not allow for marketing in their budget, and when business gets tough, marketing tends to be the first thing cut. That’s a big mistake, so make sure you budget for it in your financial forecast. Today's Summary Cash is King Cash flow is the amount of money available to you each month after collecting all revenue and paying all your monthly bills. Ideally, you want to see your cash flow going upwards. If your business gives accounts limit the payment terms, or don’t give out accounts at all. Aim to have enough cash in your bank account to cover three months of expenses so you can think clearly. A good payment history builds trust. If you don’t have the capital and cash to start your business right now, don’t rush into it.

In their relatively short careers, Producer/DJ's Alex Pall and Drew Taggart, The Chainsmokers, have developed a reputation as solid-gold hitmakers sought after by the biggest names in the biz. Well..that's one of their reputations...In a ChunkyGlasses FIRST, Kevin is taking the night off and Eduardo and Marcus (Dowling) are manning the mics to go IN on the duo's debut album, Memories...Do Not Open,which is currently the worst-reviewed album of 2017.

Look, so the most popular dance act in the world released an album last week. They played SNL. You heard their songs on the radio in the grocery store. Whether you like it or not, you can't avoid the Chainsmokers at this point—even if you wanted to—so this week's episode finds our crew of guests puzzling just how this even happened in the first place. Emilie is joined by Associate Editor Ezra Marcus, Managing Editor Colin Joyce, and VICE's Senior Culture Editor Larry Fitzmaurice for a deep dive into both the icky and transcendent sides of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart's wildly successful business endeavor. We give their unlikely origin stories, discuss all the upsetting stuff they've said in interviews, and attempt to determine whether the weaponized nostalgia of their new record Memories...Do Not Open is interesting or just empty.

Appena prima di chiudere il 2016, ecco una pod-recensione del regalo di Natale di tanti appassionati di gioco da tavolo che si sono ritrovati sotto l'albero, un po' a sorpresa, Mechs VS Minions.Mechs VS minions è un gioco di miniature cooperativo nel quale i giocatori assegnano dei comandi a robottoni al fine di distruggere un'orda di tanti piccoli nemici. All'inizio della partita ogni robottone sarà goffo e inefficace ma col passare dei round diventerà sempre più versatile e letale, a patto che i minions non siano arrivati prima e lo abbiano danneggiato al punto tale da renderlo un rottame ancora prima di potersi muovere.In un susseguirsi di missioni molto varie i giocatori vedranno crescere il livello di sfida e di epicità delle missioni fino ad arrivare al misterioso boss finale di cui si ha una vaga idea dalla scatola che lo contiene (con tanto di scritta DO NOT OPEN in bella vista) ma di cui non si sa nulla.Un prodotto curato fin nei minimi dettagli e ad un prezzo ridicolo se comparato con il suo contenuto, perfetto per gli amanti dei cooperativi puri e, visto il tema, soprattutto per coloro che non si prendono troppo sul serio.Guarda i dettagli e le fotografie su www.dadoincantato.com
