Tune in for Part 2 of our Holiday Bonus - our two favorite episodes of this past year!Unlocking $4.9 BILLION Dollars in Military Travel to the Vacation Rental Industry, with Anthony GanttAnthony Gantt, entrepreneur and recently retired Officer for the United States Marine Corps after 22 years, joins us today to tell a tale of what it truly means to build a purpose-built startup. During his service, Anthony was relocated from Virginia to Texas, charged with orders to find accommodations for his family which included his wife plus their 6 children. A standard hotel room (or multiple) was not an option - so Anthony booked a rental on Airbnb. Little did he know, the Government did NOT allow this - military personnel could be compensated for hotel stays, but compensation did not allow for bookings made on  these  "new OTAs" (which includes Vrbo and all the other vacation rental based channels.) He was not reimbursed for the necessary accommodations to relocate, and soon found out this was happening all across the globe - military families had NO ability to be reimbursed for vacation rentals or short term rentals as a form of relocation OR vacation - a standard practice when a traditional hotel is utilized. Anthony now embarks on a new career path as CEO/Founder of At Ease, that will take him into a totally different battle zone: working through the challenges of outdated laws and complexities of OTA / vacation rental technology. If his mission is successful, he will unlock a $4.9 BILLION dollar travel opportunity for vacation rental managers and short term rental hosts alike. Tune in for a lively, fun and inspirational episode with Alex & Annie & Anthony  discussing all things vacation & short term rentals, technology, entrepreneurship and more!This episode is brought to you by Wheelhouse: The Ultimate Revenue Driving Machine.  Wheelhouse is a proud member of Alex & Annie's List, presented by Rev & Research CONTACT ANTHONY GANTTCEO & Founder AtEaseLinkedInFacebookCONTACT ALEX & ANNIEAlexandAnniePodcast.comLinkedIn | Facebook | InstagramAlex Husner - LinkedinAnnie Holcombe - Linkedin

On today's Quick News Daily, we'll be talking about the Brexit deal from last week, a pretty crappy move by GoDaddy.com, and the latest news on the fiasco with the stimulus deal in Congress.  ----more----Sources:GoDaddy Employees Were Told They Were Getting a Holiday Bonus.

Today, we have some stories that I wanted to get to yesterday, but the show was already running a bit over 20 minutes, so I figured I'd just save them until today. So, we'll be talking about the Brexit deal from last week, a pretty crappy move by GoDaddy.com, and some news on the fiasco with the stimulus deal in Congress. Let's keep right on rolling this week and get caught up. GO DADDYLet's start by talking about this horrible, tone-deaf initiative that happened to employees of GoDaddy.  About two weeks ago, GoDaddy employees got an email from the email address "happyholiday@godaddy.com". The email read: "2020 has been a record year for GoDaddy, thanks to you! Though we cannot celebrate together during our annual Holiday Party, we want to show our appreciation and share a $650 one-time Holiday bonus! To ensure that you receive your one-time bonus in time for the Holidays, please select your location and fill in the details by Friday, December 18th.”So, about 500 GoDaddy employees filled in their information and sent it back. A ton of folks are struggling through this pandemic, so this $650 would really mean a lot to them. Well, sadly, this wasn't real. A couple of days later, they got another email from GoDaddy's chief security officer, Demetrius Comes, that said: “You’re getting this email because you failed our recent phishing test. You will need to retake the Security Awareness Social Engineering training.” As I mention quite frequently, I'm in school for IT, so I've learned quite a bit about how to keep information safe on the internet and phishing scams and all of that. Honestly, unless there was some type of warning a couple of weeks before this, I think I probably would have filled this out too. I think the only things that would be suspicious would be that they're asking you for your information, and that the email was from "happy holiday @godaddy.com", not "happy holidays". I haven't learned this yet in school, but frankly, if they have "@godaddy.com" in their email address, that would probably mean that the hackers already got into the GoDaddy system. At that point, they'd already have almost everything that they wanted, and the company would have a lot bigger worries than employees giving information. The emails were brought to the world's attention because three employees decided to forward them to The Copper Courier, who first broke the story. That story also says, "Despite the company surpassing 20 million customers this year and reporting 'record customer growth', the company laid off or reassigned hundreds of employees during the coronavirus pandemic, including in Arizona, Iowa, and Texas." That always drives me up the wall when companies say that they're having such a great year, but as an employee, you look around and half your department is gone, or your benefits are getting cut, or something like that. As we learn more and more about Ronald Reagan, there are many things to hate about his presidency, but this stupid idea of "trickle down economics" is maybe the most dangerous. When wealthy people get more wealth, they don't pass jack down to regular people. One of the dumber things about this is that GoDaddy wasn't even the first company to try this. In September, Tribune Publishing, which owns several major newspapers around the country, sent a similar email to its employees that promised $5,000-10,000  bonuses. That company eventually ended up apologizing, and GoDaddy should too. Again, so many people are struggling this year, especially the workers at GoDaddy since they're getting laid off left and right, so this is the worst kind of email you can send. Yes, hackers can be very good and send convincing emails like this one, but there were almost no warning signs in this email. There was one typo where they put "submittals" instead of "submissions", one grammar issue with a missing comma, and then they also put the standard "free money, claim it now!" saying in there, which are all a bit suspicious. At the same time, people do not spell as well or have as good of grammar as they used to, even HR people. Spellcheck is really a crutch, and people use it as such, so besides that "free money" thing, I wouldn't think this email was suspicious at all. Not only does GoDaddy need to apologize for this, but more importantly, they need to cough up those bonuses as part of that apology. If you can't afford that, then don't send out the email. BREXITSome other big international news that broke towards the middle of last week was a sort of Brexit deal that the UK and European Union designed. Officially, it's called the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement. Member countries of the EU and British Parliament are both expected to approve the agreement within the next week, but the European Parliament still has to approve it, which might not happen until later in January or February. It technically takes effect on January 1st, but it doesn't become permanent until the European Parliament approves. To put it mildly, British citizens were not happy about it. Apparently, it's worse than the deal that Theresa May originally made, and that deal caused Boris Johnson to have a fit and resign his cabinet position in disgust. A lot of people are pointing out the hypocrisy of him coming out and trying to sell this deal, which is worse than the old one. On the one hand, it's important because it makes sure that the UK can still trade with the EU without facing tariffs or quotas.However, the UK loses a lot of privileges. Everything from access to fishing waters and energy markets, as well as uncertainties about traveling between the two, education exchanges. There are also worries about whether the UK will still get real-time info from EU law enforcement databases and whether they'll have access to the EU markets since the financial services sector is so important for Britain. Stay tuned everyone, this is going to keep devloping over the next couple of months. DEFENSE BILL VETO AND STIMULUSYesterday, we found out that the House voted to overturn Trump's veto of the annual defense authorization bill. I believe the final tally was about 322-87. The article from NPR that I was reading about it mentioned that it's super unusual for the House to have to override a veto on the defense spending bill, but that's because it's even more unusual for the president to veto it in the first place.  NPR said, "The political popularity of the military typically means the National Defense Authorization Act has a high likelihood of passage and becomes one of the last vehicles of the year for compromise and enactment." I'm just going to pause right here and say that I hate the stigma that if you even  question the enormous amount of spending on the military, you're somehow "disrespecting the troops". No, you can respect the troops and wonder why so much of the military budget is for these blacked-out parts of the budget that means that we can't see how the money is being spent, or why regular supplies cost so much more than fair market value. Respecting the troops means making sure that they're fighting for freedoms, not to help private defense companies get rich. But back to the story here, Trump opposed the bill because it would rename military bases named for Confederate figures like Robert E. Lee, and he also was angry that Democrats in Congress didn't agree to a bargain in which they'd lift some legal protections for tech companies, which is the famous Section 230 that he's been ranting about for weeks now. Again, it's important to set the record straight on what this Section 230 actually is, because I guarantee you that a ton of people in Congress who say they oppose it don't even know what it is. Section 230 is supposed to help protect free speech on the internet, so it says that tech companies like Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc. are not liable for what users post on there. This is why Facebook doesn't get in any legal trouble for having all of those right-wing groups who use it to post death threats or plot to kidnap governors, or why Twitter isn't liable for a toddler tweeting "STOP THE STEAL" or "when the looting starts, the shooting starts". Really, it's for any website with user-generated content, because the website owner technically isn't responsible for what other people post, and places like YouTube have so much content that they'd never be able to go through every single thing. Sure, that's a bit of an excuse, but it's the truth. The internet as we know it would change without this. That's the irony here: Trump hates Section 230, but if he takes it away, he'll be the first one who's banned. He tweets false stuff, and even threats, nearly every day of the week. Usually, it's multiple times a day. As for the COVID stimulus bill, that also finally passed after Trump originally said he wouldn't be signing it. It includes a lot of what I went over last week on Monday, which was the first time that it looked like it was going to pass, before Trump went off the rails and said he wouldn't sign it. It has funding or changes for about 9 categories of things, so they jammed a ton of stuff in here just because they could. Anyways, let's go through those.Individual Benefits⦁ $600 direct payment checks for every adult and child earning up to $75,000. Individuals earning between $75,000 and $99,000 would get smaller checks, and the benefit cuts out entirely for individuals earning over $99,000.⦁ Unemployment benefits: they agreed to extend enhanced unemployment benefits for jobless workers, who will receive up to $300 per week through mid-March. Self-employed people and gig workers will also receive extended assistance.⦁ Rental assistance: $25 billion to help families pay their rent, and it extends the eviction moratorium now in effect until Jan. 31.⦁ SNAP assistance: The measure includes an additional $13 billion for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Small-Business HelpPPP loans: The agreement includes some $284 billion for Paycheck Protection Program loans. Democrats say they expanded eligibility for the loans to include nonprofits and local newspapers, along with TV and radio stations. Also, $15 billion would be reserved for live venues, independent movie theaters and cultural institutions, which have been struggling due to pandemic-forced closures.Vaccines$68 billion to purchase and distribute COVID-19 vaccines and help states conduct testing — $20 billion of that funding will make the vaccine available at no cost for anybody needing it.Broadband Access$7 billion to increase access to broadband Internet, including a new Emergency Broadband Benefit that Democrats say will help millions of students' families and unemployed workers afford the broadband they need during the pandemic.Transportation Aid $45 billion in transportation-related assistance, including:⦁     $16 billion for airlines to pay the salaries of workers and contractors.⦁     $14 billion for mass transit agencies.⦁     $10 billion for highways.⦁     $1 billion for Amtrak.Education$82 billion in funding for schools and universities to assist with reopening, including $2.75 billion for private K-12 education.Agriculture$13 billion in the measure for farmers and agriculture, including money under the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program for growers and livestock, dairy and poultry producers.Medical BillsThe measure also includes a provision ending surprise medical billing. Republicans say patients would be required to receive a "true and honest cost estimate" three days before any scheduled procedure and that billing disputes would be subject to arbitration.Tax-Deductible MealsLawmakers also included a provision sought by Trump, making the cost of meals a deductible business expense.NEW YEAR'S EVE GUIDANCE FROM CDCThe CDC has guidance for how to celebrate New Year's Eve "safely", but that's kind of misleading. There's really no way to safely celebrate New Year's Eve like we would any other year; it's essentially about reducing risk. I know that I'm probably preaching to the choir here because if you're listening, you're probably taking COVID fairly seriously. However, it's good to keep hearing these things to remind ourselves, or maybe you're just tuning in and you're not as familiar with all the ways to stay safe. I want this show to be useful to as many people as possible. So, if you do celebrate:⦁ Wear a mask⦁ Social distance = 6ft = 2 arms lengths ⦁ Avoid crowds, especially in poorly ventilated indoor spaces⦁ Wash your hands⦁ Stay home if you're sick⦁ Get your flu shot ASAP⦁ Get your COVID vaccineIf you host: ⦁ Talk with guests ahead of time to set expectations for celebrating together.⦁ Limit the number of guests.⦁ Keep celebrations outdoors, if possible.⦁ If indoors, open windows and doors. Use a window fan to blow air out, which will pull fresh air in through the open windows.⦁ Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and items between use.⦁ Have guests bring their own food, drinks, plates, cups, and utensils.⦁ Have extra unused masks available for your guests and encourage everyone to wear them inside and outside.⦁ Keep background music volume low so guests don’t need to shout⦁ It’s okay if you decide to postpone or cancel your gathering. Do what’s best for you.If you're an attendee: ⦁ It’s okay if you decide to stay home and remain apart from others. Do what’s best for you.⦁ If traveling for a celebration, know what to do before, during, and after travel.⦁ Bring your own food, drinks, and disposable plates, cups, and utensils.⦁ Wear a mask indoors and outdoors and safely store your mask while eating and drinking.⦁ Avoid alcohol and drugs that can alter judgement and make it difficult to practice COVID-19 safety measures.⦁ Avoid shouting and singing.⦁ Avoid areas where food is prepared, such as the kitchen.⦁ Use single-use options, like condiment packets.Alternatives to traditional celebrations:⦁ Virtual celebrations (concerts, performances, countdowns to midnight, dinner or dessert with friends/family)⦁ Plan your party for the people you live with⦁ Reach out to family, friends, and neighbors⦁ Call, text, or leave a voicemail for family, friends, and neighbors wishing them a happy new year.⦁ Call friends and family to count down to the new year together.⦁ Plan a neighborhood countdown to midnight. People who live with each other can stand in front of their house and cheer together at midnight.Other ideas:⦁ Watch a livestreamed firework display, concert, First Night event, or other New Year’s programming from your home, such as the Times Square New Year’s Eve ball drop. Virtual events are happening across the United States.⦁ Take care of yourself and do something you enjoy, such as reading a book or taking a walk.⦁ Pick up a special meal from a local restaurant to share with your household.⦁ Plan an outdoor activity with people you live with such as a hike or sledding.⦁ Set new year resolutions. Find out if your hometown is sponsoring a special social media event and share your resolutions.I have to be honest though, it's pretty depressing to think about where we were 1 year ago versus New Year's Eve this year. There was so much hype about the new decade and the roaring 20s and the Great Gatsby and all of that, but it seems like we got what the actual roaring 20s were like. I don't know what else to say, frankly. Just hang in there, and think of the massive, massive celebrations that'll be happening when this is all over. I don't even think we can imagine what it'll be like when every band you've wanted to see is on tour at the same time, all of the sports are back, theater and movies are back, etc.

Today I have an incredible wisdom-packed episode for you and, no, that wisdom is not coming from me. That wisdom is coming from four dynamic, super smart, successful women leaders who have created podcasts in the niche of parenting and podcasts for moms. Now wait! If you are not a mom or you are not podcasting about parenting or being a mom that does not mean you should not listen to this episode. You should totally listen because I am not either of those two things and I learned so much from what these women have to share about marketing, niching around purpose, and positioning with their shows, and about something that they pretty much have to be masters of --TIME MANAGEMENT! This episode was inspired by my interview with Julie Neal of Mother's Quest podcast, episode 36, which you can find here. In the meantime, listen now to hear more from...

Whether you are building a business, a brand, and organization or a personal following, podcasting is a super popular trend amongst companies, nonprofits, and, well, people in general. It sounds so cool and on trend to say you have your own podcast, to imagine your voice being heard by thousands of people around the WORLD, and to know that you have a golden opportunity to influence those listeners through one of the most powerfully intimate forms of media that exists today. There’s definitely a wave to ride and you’re right on the edge, waiting to catch it! But how do you know whether you are ready? It seems easy enough -- you just record your voice and somehow publish it to the internet and voila! Right? I mean I KNOW you don’t think it’s quite that simple -- or you wouldn’t be here, listening to this right now. So I have created a checklist of 6 questions to ask yourself (or your organization) before you dive into your podcasting adventure. Listen in to hear more and pop over to http://bit.ly/podenvy038 to refer to the checklist. PODCAST ANGEL! Let ME be YOUR angel...

Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's... oh my! They are here. As a self-employed entrepreneur, I have noticed that typically around this time of year, people drop off the face of the earth. Business gets really slow. Nobody's responding so much on social media. Everyone's running around all distracted. It's getting cold in the Midwest and sometimes snowy and I don't really like that kind of weather. I just want to hole up in my house and do nothing except... well... good thing I make podcasts because I can do that from here. In any case the question inevitably comes up for podcasters (usually accompanied by mild distress to pure panic): What do I do with my show over the holidays? Should I take a break? Should I publish old episodes? Am I going to lose listeners if I disappear for a few weeks? The answer is right here in this episode for you. Want to know what it is?

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0197 And It Will Be About Contractors Last Minute Payroll Deadline For 2016 Happy New Year 2017!   It’s almost the end of the year and time to decide if your employees deserve a Bonus. You may call it a Generic Employee Bonus, Christmas Bonus, Holiday Bonus or Year End Bonus Giving An Employee Bonus Comes Down To Cash Flow Here Are Some Key Questions To Ask Yourself: Can I afford to give a bonus? Can I afford to give a Bonus to my employees? Do I want to give a Bonus to each of my employees? How do I decide how much Bonus should I give? Reality Check - Is Bonus Taxable? Starting with the last question first. In most cases, it may be taxable. All forms of Income including Bonus is income to your employee. All income is subject to State, Federal Payroll Taxes and is part of the employee’s W-2.   The most common are to give your employee a set amount known as a ‘Net Check”. It would not quite seem the same to say here is your bonus for $200.00 but the actual check received is for $169.04. Your employee is going to think you are tacky, cheap and you can afford to give them a Big Bonus.   Instead, what you give the employee is a check for $200.00 and the company pays all the payroll taxes. The value of the bonus is a lot higher when a check is grossed up (meaning you the employer pays all the taxes, company half, employee half of Social Security, Medicare, Federal Withholding, State, Local Taxes) Review all the outstanding Employee Advances When an Employee Advance is given, are the employees automatically setup on a repayment plan? Or, in your mind, the Money is a Payroll Advance with a loose payment plan. You are expecting to sit down and work out something more defined later. Later is 5 Minutes before you give them the check.     Did your employee think the money was a non-taxed bonus? Did your employee think Non-taxable reimbursement because (fill in the blank)?    Did your employee think was a Gift because (fill in the blank)?   Did your employee think it is a net payroll check? If your employee leaves, quits or gets fired, they usually expect their employee advance is paid in full. Either as a gift or was actually, all unpaid Employee Advances were net payroll checks. Usually, employees think all Payroll Advances as Net Payroll checks if they are planning to collect Unemployment.   As payroll, the amount of the check will increase their projected State Unemployment Benefits. Thinking of all my own clients over the years and with my clients with payroll; it has been by exception that the former employee will send money to cover an outstanding payment plan.   Without a written payment plan signed by the employee, Washington State does not allow the employer to withhold the remaining balance out of the employee’s final payroll check.   Sometimes an employee starts out as a 1099 Contactor. It can be a shock when converting a 1099 Contactor to a W-2 Employee for both the employee and the employer. Everyone is used to no taxes being taken out.      IRS Rule is anyone receiving over $600 or more for the calendar year needs to receive 1099 form 1099 Contractor need to meet the rules of being an Independent Contactor (Trade Contractor or General Contractor) otherwise they can be classified as an employee with back payroll taxes due.   Some states it is more common for Contactors to have mostly 1099 Contractors over formal W-2 Employees. All 1099 Contactors including your Trade Contractors and General Contractors need to be providing you with a W-9.  https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf  In 2016 IRS expanded list of those who receive 1099’s to include Attorneys.   Quick Note: Merchant Service Providers, Online Merchant Service Providers are required to provide 1099’s to their clients.     IRS intends to levy increased penalties in 2017 for 1099 Non-File or Late Filers   IRS requires that 1099 be sent to the Independent Contractor and to the IRS.  IRS has shorted the deadlines for 1099’s; they are now due on January 31, 2017, same as the employee’s W-2.     Reminder About Your Payroll – You have been putting it off and putting it off. It’s now time to make a decision.  It is easy as a Sole Prop or a Member of an LLC treated as a Sole Proprietor No Payroll or W2 required. The rule is that all your Net Profit and Draws are subject to Payroll Tax.   Do not forget that as S-Corp Officers you must have a payroll with a W-2. You are an employee of the corporation and therefore required to have payroll. It does not have to be dollar for dollar on the amount in your Loan To Shareholder account, but it must be a reasonable wage. Your Tax Accountant can help determine “What Is Reasonable.” Starting Off The New Year If you contracting company is a Sole Proprietor you may want to consider changing your legal status to S-Corp starting January 1, 2017 If your contracting company is an LLC, you may want to consider filing the IRS Form 2553 to be taxed as an S-Corp or change to an S-Corp. Year End Review – Time flies when everyone is busy   Start Now - Review your records for the following items: Missing Federal Tax ID’s and request the W-9. Have all your employees verify their pay stub for the correct address. Check Apartment numbers and zip codes. Have any of the neighborhoods been annexed into the city? Other changes is the IRS Form I-9 was revised November 14, 2016, for new employees. The new form will be mandatory to use in January 2017.  Year End Accounting Clean Up Your Tax Accountant will be sending your booklet with what they want for records.   As you are looking to the New Year? What are the loose odds and ends missing for this year? Do you have a formal Accounting System? Does it need to be cleanup up the Accounting beyond the last couple of months?   Do you have bank statements?   Can you find all your receipts? Tax Accountants do “work arounds” to be able to file your annual taxes.  At some point, the Tax Accountant may refuse to clean up and deal with the Lack of Good Records or Messy Records. As the economy improves; tax accountants will have more clients who want their taxes done.   It all gets down to Time | Scope | Money A good tax accountant can do Many Simple or Less Complicated Returns in the same amount of time it takes to do a Messy Complex Business Return.  More Tax Returns become more Complex than is really necessary because the documents or lack of documents make it Messy and Hard To Deal With.   Your Reason To Turn It All Over To The Tax Accountant It’s cheaper to have the Tax Accountant do it than hire a Bookkeeping Service and I don’t want to do it myself because it’s Hard.   Yes - The Tax Accountant can and maybe will do a workaround that is just enough to do the taxes. If you are missing 5%, 10%, 15% or even more; the tax accountant is going to use what you provided, and it will be by exception, your tax accountant will ask for missing documents or even notice they are missing. Tax accountant will assume you gave them everything you had. When in reality you gave The Tax Accountant only what You thought The Tax Accountant needed versus all of the records that might save you additional money in taxes.   Only you can decide if the lack of good records was worth the low price. A good accounting system will help you make Better Decisions on what to buy when to buy and which type of jobs to accept?  When you afford to accept payment plans from your clients?  When is the need or ability to raise your prices!

Trainer: Chief Sales Officer Travis Garza Hello everyone and welcome to this special Holiday Bonus Pool Update! I'm Travis Garza, Vice President and Chief Sale Officer. We are having huge momentum here at Isagenix with our biggest weeks happening in the last 90-Days! Isn't that amazing!? Just as a reminder, there are 4-ways to get paid: daily, weekly, monthly, and annually.    Our hugely popular Holiday Bonus Pool promotion, which offers annual pay just in time for the Holiday's is back and better than ever for 2015!

For each quarter you earn shares, you'll be paid twice: 50% of your shares value will be paid at the end of the quarter and 50% at the end of the promotion, by mid-December. That means you could get up to five Holiday Bonus checks throughout the year!Our Second change revolves around rank. You must maintain an active rank of Manager or higher for 8 out of the 13 weeks, that's right 8 out of the 13 weeks in each quarter. Along with the rank requirement, you must enroll 3 Active Autoship Associates with 100 BV or higher to begin earning quarterly shares. If you enroll mid-quarter you can still qualify for bonuses. For more details and examples, check out our Holiday Bonus Pool flyer with FAQs. Finally, remember to stay active!
