Scaling Businesses Across Industries: Lessons from a Serial Entrepreneur   In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, we sit down with Philip Taylor (PT), a CPA turned entrepreneur, to discuss his journey in building multiple successful businesses. 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!

FinCon is the largest (and funnest) conference for independent content creators in the personal finance space. We wish you could have been there but since we couldn't bring our audience to FinCon, we're bringing a little FinCon to you. We chatted with some of them and asked the big question:  "What is your best tip for late starters?"

You will chuckle and laugh throughout this whole conversation, but you'll also pick up tips and tricks along the way.   

Reflecting on a whirlwind 2024, I'm here to share the ups and downs, the triumphs, and the growth that marked this incredible year. From being crowned as the unofficial-official mayor of Podfest to receiving a community hero award, the journey has been nothing short of transformative. Join me, Paula the Shit Talker, as I recount the valuable lessons learned about prioritizing mental health and maintaining connections, even if that means loving some people from afar. Let's embrace the holiday season with open hearts, celebrating both our victories and challenges.This episode shines a light on the importance of gratitude amidst chaos. I had the privilege of attending remarkable events like the Empowered Podcasting Conference, Podcast Movement, Afros & Audio, FinCon, and Black Writers Weekend, where the bonds formed with inspiring individuals left lasting impressions. While professional achievements were abundant, the year wasn't without its share of personal challenges, including grief and loss. Through it all, gratitude for the support of friends, family, and various communities has been a guiding light, reminding me of the blessings sprinkled throughout the year.As the year draws to a close, I'm thrilled to announce upcoming creative projects that reflect my passion and resilience. A new project set to debut in May, with hopes of securing funding at Podfest in January. Plus, a comic book featuring my alter ego, BikerChiq, is on the horizon for 2025. Reflections on co-hosting "2 Cigars and a Blunt" and contributing to an upcoming book, I'm filled with appreciation for the platforms and opportunities that have welcomed my voice. Here's to looking forward to new adventures and connections in the year ahead!The episode reflects on personal growth, grief, and mental health as we close out 2023.• Understanding the need for mental health and relationship reevaluations• Sharing personal anecdotes about grief a loss in 2023• Emphasizing the importance of supporting others from a distance• Discussing family communication and the necessity of regular check-ins• Addressing financial struggles and breaking taboos around discussing money• Previewing upcoming projects and exciting plansTalk yo sh!t… Sh!t-Talker!!Support the showFOLLOW US ON;Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkshitwithpTwitter: https://twitter.com/TalkshitwithpFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TalkwhitwIthpTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@TalkshitwithpShop IG: https://www.instagram.com/Talkshitwithp.shopLEAVE US A REVIEW ON APPLE PODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-shit-with-p/id1509470001AND SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL:https://www.youtube.com/@TalkshitwithpSupport The Show (whatever you can)Cashapp: https://cash.app/$TSWP20Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TswpBuymecoffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/talkshitwithpAmazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2M9Q4HNKRO2WA?ref_=wl_shareTo Learn more on my story;https://flow.page/tal...

More than 150,000 women have completed Tiffany "The Budgetnetista" Aliche's Live Richer Challenge. The roughly 30-day challenge participants step-by-step instructions on how to get their financial lives in order, get out of debt, and start saving money. Collectively, Tiffany's tribe has saved $17 million and paid off $1.5 in debt! I first heard Tiffany tell the story of how she started the challenge and how that's turned into a thriving business at FinCon last year, and am excited to share it with you this week. This year, The Budgetnetista expects to bring in more than $500,000 from speaking, book sales, sponsors and affiliate relationships, and a new private membership academy. I think her model can be replicated across a number of different niches and industries so you can apply these same strategies and tactics in your business. Tune in to hear how the former preschool teacher came up with the idea for the challenge, the innovative way she grew her tribe, and how giving it all away for free turned into a very profitable venture.

John Kosar, chief market strategist at Asbury Research, says the stock market "doesn't know exactly what to do here," with the economy clicking but sector bets being hard to make because it's hard to know which areas to favor until the re4sults of the election are in. Still, Kosar is generally bullish, noting that he has been risk-on since early August and that he will feel even more strongly if technology stocks can push the Nasdaq through previous highs for several days, clearing the way for more upside from tech stocks. Then, we finish up coverage from FinCon '24, chatting with Marty Steffens, the SABEW Endowed Chair in Business Journalism at the University of Missouri, about the tension between "journalism" and "content creation," and what it means for individual investors who are looking at those different work products. Plus, Bindu and Prahlad Pant — the parents of FinCon rock star Paula Pant of the Afford Anything Podcast — give their first-ever podcast interview, discussing how their daughter came up with her attitudes about money and spending, before Paula herself talks about money attitudes for consumers now.

Joseph Hogue of the YouTube channel "Let's Talk About Money with Joseph Hogue" says investors want to keep the bulk of their money in simple buy-and-hold strategies and shouldn't be swayed by wild recommendations coming from the blogging and podcasting community, but also says that they should scratch the itch of their fun side -- if they have one -- by taking controlled chances with the fun-money portion of their portfolio. Jillian Johnsrud, host of the "Retire Often" podcast, discusses why and how people should plan regular breaks and re-sets in their career. Shane Walker, chief executive officer at Qube Money, talks about how modern tools are helping consumers take control of their money in ways that, until recently, would not have been possible. Financial adviser Jim Blankenship — the blogger behind "Financial Ducks in a Row" — talks about why consumers and investors are feeling uncomfortable with the stock market in record-high territory. Ava Johns, affiliate marketing specialist at Turbotenant.com discusses how affiliate marketing is used by influencers and popular blogs and podcasts, and how consumers may want to pay attention to how those deals work. Plus Joe Saul-Sehy of the Stacking Benjamins podcast gives his impressions of how FinCon — and the world of bloggers, podcasters and content creators — has changed over the years.

She describes the ups and downs of FI/RE -- financial independence, retire early -- in an interview from FinCon 2024. In other interviews from the conference being held this week in Atlanta, Chuck chats with Doug Nordman of Military Financial Independence, Charly Stoever of the Unicorn Millionaire podcast, and Zach Whelchel of My Budget Coach. plus, making his regular Thursday appearance on the show, Todd Rosenbluth, the head of research at VettFi, makes Fidelity Corporate Bond fund his ETF of the Week.

Amelie is joined by Rahkim Sabree, AFC, to talk about niching, other ways of coaching, and how CFPs don't have a corner on the market of helping people! Takeaways: Your story is unique to you–no one else can talk about your story the way you talk about it. When Rahkim focused in on sharing his experiences and his niche's experiences, it attracted other people outside of his niche as well. Oftentimes, successful coaches don't tell clients what their goals are, they help clients figure out what their goals are. Consider reaching out to local libraries to do free services. Conferences (AFCPE Symposium, FinCon, Financial Therapy Association Conference) are a great way to connect with people multiple times. Figure out how you can get paid AND how you want to get paid. Don't chase the high of helping other people. Consider formalizing your education–both Rahkim and Amelie thought they knew a lot but still learned a ton from the AFCPE process!

We talk with travel expert Gary Leff from View from the Wing.com. In the news, the DOT probe of airline frequent flyer programs, U.S. airlines reduced hiring, automated landing fee collection, more on PFAS in aircraft firefighting foam, and FAA action to ease network flight delays. Also, interviews from the Pacific Airshow. Guest Travel expert and blogger Gary Leff was named one of the world's top travel specialists by Conde Nast. He often appears in the media on television, radio, and in print. He's been a keynote speaker at many conferences and both a moderator and panelist at Flightglobal industry conferences, in addition to CardCon and Fincon. His credit card advice has been featured in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Gary blogs at View From the Wing.com and is co-founder of InsideFlyer.com. We talked with Gary about the U.S. Department of Transportation's inquiry into airline rewards programs, including their authority to do so and the likely time before DOT action takes place. Gary comments on the devaluation of miles and gives us his thoughts on airline staffing levels. We consider issues surrounding carry-on baggage and overhead bin space and the topic of code sharing. Visit View From the Wing.com for the writings of a true travel expert. Aviation News Breaking: New Government Investigation Demands Airlines Expose Frequent Flyer Devaluations The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) launched an inquiry into airline rewards programs to protect customers from potential unfair, deceptive, or anticompetitive practices. DOT sent letters to American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines ordering them to provide records and submit reports with detailed information about their rewards programs, practices, and policies. The probe is focused on the ways consumers participating in airline rewards programs are impacted by the devaluation of earned rewards, hidden or dynamic pricing, extra fees, and reduced competition and choice. See: US probes top airlines' frequent flyer programs for unfair practices and USDOT Seeks to Protect Consumers' Airline Rewards in Probe of Four Largest U.S. Airlines' Rewards Practices U.S. airlines cool hiring after adding 194,000 employees in post-Covid spree During the pandemic, airline employment decreased significantly as customer demand dropped. With the travel recovery, US passenger airlines added almost 194,000 jobs as they tried to catch up. Now hiring is cooling off: demand is moderating, fares are down which puts pressure on profits, labor costs are up with the new contracts, aircraft deliveries are running late, and engine availability is not where it needs to be AOPA Objects to Possible Florida Airport Landing Fees The state of Florida contracted with Virtower to collect aircraft movement data using ADS-B. Virtower partner Vector Airport Systems can use the Virtower data with its PlanePass system to provide automated invoicing. Vector proposes to collect a fee of $3 per 1,000 pounds of aircraft weight. AOPA says ADS-B was never intended to be used as a tool to collect landing fees. They question the need to collect fees at the public-use airports that already receive federal funds. Virtower “monitors key airport operational parameters including takeoffs, landings, touch and go's, pavement utilization, and based aircraft operations. While providing a quick and easy noise complaint investigations tool for all customers.” Brunswick passes unprecedented PFAS resolution calling for action after spill In Episode 812, we talked about aviation firefighting foam, specifically Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) that contains dangerous PFAS (“forever chemicals”). There are efforts to transition to fluorine-free foam (F3) for aircraft firefighting. The Brunswick Town Council passed a resolution calling for a statewide inventory of AFFF that was spilled on Aug. 19, 2024.

Money makes the world go round, but it's our emotions that fuel the journey. In a captivating session with money therapist Shani at FinCon, we explore how our feelings intertwine with our financial decisions and the paths they lead us down. From the comfortable financial bubble of Shani's childhood to the awakening that college life brings, we look at the often rocky transition to financial independence—a universal challenge laden with personal learning curves.Join us as we stroll down memory lane, reminiscing on the early work experiences and entrepreneurial beginnings that shape our financial psyche. We reflect on the unique microcosms of hair salons and barbershops, where business and personal relationships are woven into a tapestry of community and emotional wealth. It's not just about building a bank account; it's about recognizing and overcoming self-doubt that can stifle financial growth, and fostering a new generation that's savvy in both finances and emotions.Our discussion culminates with actionable insights into developing healthy financial habits and leveraging the power of accountability and vulnerability. Shani and I share the strategies that keep us on track and the profound impact of emotional intelligence on our financial well-being. To top it off, I offer a personal recommendation for a life-changing read—"Thinking World Rich" by Colleen Hill—that champions the importance of leaving both financial and emotional legacies. So tune in and take that first step towards a richer life in every sense of the word.Connect With Shani:Website: https://purseempowerment.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/purseempowermentFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/PurseEmpowerment/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PurseEmpowermentTVSupport the showHOW TO SUPPORT THE WALK 2 WEALTH PODCAST: walk2wealth.supercast.com 1.
