Nvidia's shares hit a record high of $138.07 on October 14, 2024, driven by strong AI chip demand and positive analyst reports. In addition, Nvidia's top customers, such as Microsoft, Meta, Google and Amazon, have been unveiling technologies and products that require hefty investment in the chip maker's products. With demand for Nvidia's Hopper and Blackwell platforms remaining strong, many analysts have maintained their "buy" ratings, raising price targets on Nvidia with expectations for more success.

The Fed's rate cutting cycle has kicked off, a soft landing still looks likely and China has finally pressed the stimulus button. It feels like we could almost be set for a Goldilocks scenario.

I love the concept that perhaps our subconscious programming is the thing that is holding us back. I also like the concept that money is just a tool to give us what we want in life. However, I believe that many of us have a SCARCITY or ABUNDANCE mindset toward money. I like the idea of visualising money as ‘fun tickets' to be used and enjoyed for me and others, now and in the future. Throughout my journey, I have gotten comfortable with the fact that money: Is not hard to come by Is not beyond my control Is not the ‘root of all evil' and that it CAN ‘grow on trees!' How is your mindset toward money serving you? In this episode, I call on Investment Specialist and Freedom Trader Terry Tran, to explore: How his attitude toward money has changed. Where the previous money mindset he inherited might have taken him. How to think like an INVESTOR rather than a worker. His beliefs around and approach to making money and investing now. What it means to create a truly abundant, fulfilled and wealthy life. As a first-generation Aussie who came here as a refugee on a boat as a child, I feel Terry is a true example of how we CAN change our lives by changing our psychology. He has a great insight into what is holding the ‘average Aussie farmer' back from creating off-farm wealth. Terry has a FREE LIVE online training exclusive for our Farm Owners community called ‘How to Create Off-Farm Wealth Consistently and Safely' on Tuesday the 5th of March. I recommend you make this a priority – register here: https://www.thefreedomtrader.com/farmownersacademy/ It is always great to connect with Terry, have him on our podcast, and see him support farming families across our community. I hope there is something in this episode of substance for those of you who enjoy it with us. Thank you.

Your Host: Roger Knecht, president of Universal Accounting Center Guest Name: Paul Kluskowski, EA Paul Kluskowski is an experienced financial advisor and tax consultant with expertise spanning over 20 years. As an Investment Specialist and EA (Enrolled Agent) at TR Financial Management Group, he helps nuclear power plant workers and self-employed clients achieve financial success. Kluskowski began his career in the nuclear energy industry, obtaining his reactor operator license at the young age of 22 and advancing to Senior Reactor Operator by 25. After nine years working in plant operations, he left to pursue a college degree, earning a BA in Physics from Andrews University. Kluskowski then expanded his skillset into the financial sector as a Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley, where he ranked in the top 10% of his peer group and earned multiple National Sales Awards. Today, he leverages his unique background to serve niche clientele through wealth management and tax preparation services. Kluskowski actively shares his expertise through publications like The Game Changer's Guide to a Better Financial Life. In this episode of Building the Premier Accounting Firm, host Roger Knecht has an insightful discussion with Paul Kluskowski, an experienced financial advisor and tax consultant with expertise spanning over 20 years. They explore how Paul leveraged his diverse experience to build a successful tax and financial planning practice. Paul shares the story of how he made the transition into accounting and tax preparation services. After nearly a decade working in operations at a nuclear power plant, he returned to college to obtain a physics degree. Paul then became a Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley where he ranked in the top tier before making the leap into tax services by earning his Enrolled Agent credential. Roger and Paul discuss Paul's valuable insights, strategies, and lessons around purchasing established tax practices, structuring win-win deals with retention clauses, building referral relationships, specializing in niche markets, developing efficient remote workflows, and effectively utilizing client portal technologies. The catalyst for Paul's transition was recognizing the high demand in the market and seizing the opportunity to add bookkeeping, accounting and tax services by becoming an Enrolled Agent. His story provides inspiration for professionals considering a switch into the accounting field later in their careers. Based on lessons learned from two purchases, Paul shares recommendations around valuation, retention planning, obtaining past tax returns, and avoiding platform transfer issues. Paul advocates for purchase terms with retention clauses and revenue thresholds to create wins for both buyers and sellers over the long term. These kinds of deals enable smooth transitions when buying remotely. Paul understood the value of developing symbiotic referral relationships with professionals who provide complementary services. By establishing connections with a bankruptcy attorney and tax resolution specialist, Paul was able to benefit from steady sources of new client referrals. The bankruptcy attorney began regularly referring Paul to new clients who needed assistance getting their tax filings up to date. Early in his career, Paul worked for almost a decade as a diesel mechanic. This hands-on industry experience gave him in-depth familiarity with tools and supply franchise models. So when the opportunity arose for Paul to acquire a tax practice with multiple Snap On Tools franchisee clients, he leveraged his unique background knowledge to quickly build rapport and craft tailored offerings. By specializing in providing bookkeeping, tax preparation, and advisory services for franchisees in tool distribution, Paul and his team gained efficiencies through dealing with repetitive client situations. They were able to streamline and systematize their processes to enable smoother operations and higher profitability within this niche target market. Paul highlights the game-changing capabilities of client portals coupled with tools like Quickbooks Online for smoothly exchanging documents and keeping projects on track in virtual engagements. Paul Kluskowski's unique professional background has fueled his ability to deliver specialized services in accounting and tax preparation for niche client groups. His insights around identifying opportunities, purchasing and building successful practices, leveraging referral networks, niching effectively, streamlining remote operations, and integrating technologies can help accounting professionals grow and enhance their own firms.

Mustafa has worked as an investment banker, a diplomat, and pharmacist, and now as an author and coach (https://thepassionmba.com/). He has intentionally chosen to change careers, or be a career shapeshifter, because he believes that is what life is about. As he said it, "we are not on this earth to pay bills and die." It only makes sense to push yourself to try different things and maximize the value you bring to the world. Not only does Mustafa think it is better for the individual to approach life this way, but he thinks it is better for society. We've gotten too caught up in specialization and it is not our natural state as humans. We are meant to explore, be curious, and experience new things. I don't necessarily disagree with Mustafa's views, but they certainly brought up some interesting questions. If we are not meant to specialize, why does it seemed to have worked so well to advance society? It is an objective truth that everyone is meant to push themselves to have multiple careers in their life? And is the grind it takes to be a career shapeshifter actually worth it?
