Too many gym owners are eating table scraps. That is, they wait to pay themselves until all other expenses are covered, and they're left with a pittance—if anything—as profit. In his book "Profit First," Mike Michalowicz posited a revolutionary cash-flow management system: Business owners pay themselves first, ensuring they make the profit they need to serve another day.John Briggs, founder of Incite Tax in Sandy, Utah, has adapted Michalowicz's philosophy and program especially for microgym owners. His book, "Profit First for Microgyms," will be available in January 2020, and in this episode of Two-Brain Radio, he and Chris Cooper talk about why microgym owners should take profit first, how to do that and make sure everything else still gets paid and how much to save for taxes.Links:Pre-order "Profit First for Microgyms" by John BriggsIncite TaxTimeline:2:08 – Why the profit first concept isn’t greedy.5:56 – Lessons from toothpaste.9:38 – Adapting “Profit First” for the microgym industry.12:17 – The seven essential accounts.14:24 – How much gym owners should allocate to staff pay.18:24 – Customizing profit first for each stage of the entrepreneur’s journey. 22:47 – On the writing process.24:32 – Removing the temptation account.28:03 – On taxation and entitlement programs: limiting how the government spends your money.

We may marvel at the precision and efficiency of computers, wishing our brains operated in much the same way. We’d remember everything perfectly, we’d never feel bored or get distracted, we’d have laser-like focus, we’d be on all the time…. But not so fast, says our guest, neuroscientist Henning Beck. Henning is a writer, speaker, consultant and author of the forthcoming book “Scatterbrain: How the Mind’s Mistakes Make Humans Creative, Innovative, and Successful.” He says what we perceive as our brain’s “flaws” are actually the things that make us uniquely human and in some ways more capable than computers. We spoke about how the human brain actually works, how tech companies are using our distractibility against us and what we can do to use our brains in the most productive way possible.

My guest this week is the incredible activist Gina Martin. Gina was at British Summertime Festival with her sister in 2017 when a stranger in the crowd put his phone between her legs and took a picture up her skirt. She immediately recognised the picture was of her and bravely snatched the phone and ran to the police with the evidence. However, as she was wearing knickers, the police said there was nothing that could be done, and deleted the evidence shortly after. The men who did this to her had no criminal charges brought against them. Gina realised there was a gap in the law, and started an online campaign in order to lobby the government to change this. As the campaign grew in signatures she brought lawyer Ryan Whelan on board to help get the campaign in front of the right people in government, and a Liberal Democrat MP tabled a Private Members Bill. However, after the bill reached the House of Commons one MP - Sir Christopher Chope - blocked the bill. Shortly after, a Government Bill was tabled and was passed through parliament and resulted in the law being changed. The changes to the Voyeurism Act, making upskirting a criminal offence, will be implemented across the country from April 2019. I spoke the Gina about the highs and lows of activism, what effect campaigning has had on her mental health, and her book Be The Change, which is coming out later on this year. --Links-- Pre-order Be The Change: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Be-Change-Gina-Martin/dp/075157788X Info on Gina's Bill: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46884697 Government guidelines on upskirting: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/upskirting-know-your-rights Support for victims of sexual violence: https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/rsa/rape-and-sexual-assault/support-for-victims-of-rape-and-sexual-assault/

In this episode Victoria talks about how when life gets tough we often revert to survival mode, fighting fires and coping day to day. She introduces some ways to get out of that rut, and explains just why it's so important to start being proactive for both you and your child. As with all the Podcasts in this show, the strategies given aren't just theoretical - instead they are born out of many years of autism experience, both professionally and personally - and have all been tried and tested not only by Victoria but by the parents she has worked with. If you have a child with High Functioning Autism, Asperger's Syndrome or Pathological Demand Avoidance and feel like you spend more time fighting fires than you should, this is the episode for you.
