Just because there's money in the bank doesn't mean your business is truly profitable. In this episode, Danielle lays out the most common (and sneaky) financial mistakes she sees entrepreneurs and small business owners making without even realizing they're doing it. From undercharging to over-relying on your gut, Danielle is not here to shame you—she's here to show you how to avoid them so you have the tools you need to build your business with confidence, clarity, and a financial plan that supports your vision. Key Takeaways: Your Bank Balance is Not the Full Picture: Why real profitability lives beyond what's in your checking account. Profit is not the same as cash flow, and both matter in different ways. You Don't Have to Do It All Yourself: You're not a bookkeeper—and you don't need to be! Delegating your money tasks is one of the most empowering moves you can make. Outsourcing your books (or any task that's not your expertise) isn't giving up control, it's giving yourself the ability to make smarter business decisions. Knowing Your Numbers Puts You In Control: Reviewing your financial statements monthly isn't just “nice”, it's necessary. It keeps you from guessing and it's how you grow with intention. Pricing for Profit, Not Panic: Undercharging leads to burnout. You deserve to get paid what your work is worth—and then some. Create a Plan for the Slow Seasons: Feast-or-famine is not a strategy. Use data to build stability and breathe easier year-round. Think In Terms of the Long-Game: Even if you love your work now, it's never too early to plan for the future. Building a business that runs without you means real freedom. Topics Discussed: (00:49 – 01:43) Mistake #1: The Illusion of a Healthy Bank Balance (01:44 – 02:47) Mistake #2: Doing Your Own Bookkeeping and Ignoring Your Financials (02:47 – 03:16) Mistake #3: Not Looking at Your Financials on a Monthly Basis (03:24 – 04:47) Mistake #4 & 5: Not Charging Enough and Not Raising Prices Regularly (04:48 – 05:30) Mistake #6: Not Tracking Return of Investments on Expenses (05:31 – 06:22) Mistake #7: Chasing Revenue Over Profit (06:24 – 08:07) Mistake #8 & 9: Hiring a Team and Asking for Help Too Late (08:07 – 08:53) Mistake #10: Not Planning for Slow Seasons and Creating a Money Buffer (08:53 – 09:59) Mistake #11 & 12: Ignoring Financial Red Flags and Relying on Your Gut Alone (10:00 – 10:34) Mistake #13: Allowing One Client or Revenue Source to Dominate Your Business (10:35 – 11:10) Mistake #14: Not Having Standard Operating Procedures In Order to Delegate (11:11 – 11:42) Mistake #15: Inconsistent Invoicing and Follow Up (13:57 – 14:45) Mistake #16: Not Creating an Exit Plan and Having a Long-Term Vision for the Future Resources: Kickstart Accounting's CFO Services | kickstartaccountinginc.com/cfo Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Justin Juntunen - founder of Cedar and Stone Sauna - to explore why the ancient practice of sauna bathing is finding new life in the heart of modern wellness. What starts as a conversation about custom craftsmanship and cardiovascular benefits quickly unfolds into something deeper: a dialogue on slowing down, creating meaning, and pursuing a business with soul.Justin shares his journey from building saunas with his grandfather in Minnesota to leading a company that crafts world-class sauna experiences, from private homes to luxury resorts. More than just heat and steam, his mission is about reconnecting people to their bodies, their breath, and each other. Together, they unpack the science, cultural traditions, and spiritual rituals behind the sauna movement, and why it's resonating with high performers and families alike.From dopamine to discipline, cold plunges to community, this is a powerful conversation on how health practices can become life practices—and why excellence is always handcrafted.Connect with Us:

Key figures like Brian Brooks and Howard Lutnick—linked to major stablecoins and now in influential government roles—highlight what Aaron describes as a Silicon Valley and “PayPal mafia” takeover of policy. The proposed Genius Act and Stable Act would require stablecoins to be fully backed by U.S. Treasuries, effectively forcing users to fund government debt and surveillance systems. With projections of $120 trillion in stablecoin transactions by 2030, Aaron calls this “turbo cancer for CBDC adoption.” The sheer scale of these numbers underscores the urgency he sees in resisting the push toward centralized digital money. The conversation then shifts to solutions within the privacy coin space, emphasizing unity against technocratic control. Aaron highlights FUSD (Freedom Dollar), a private algorithmic stablecoin built on Zano, which offers an alternative by being over-collateralized with Zano rather than tied to government-backed assets. He discusses Zano's technical advantages, including its deflationary model, while defending its pre-mine as a necessary step for development funding. Both hosts stress the importance of collaboration across privacy projects like Monero, Tari, and Zano to resist systemic control. They also preview Porkfest, where they'll host a privacy tent and welcome Ross Ulbricht and his mother Lynn, who is launching a new advocacy initiative.

Stigall thinks its key to have a full understanding of the vision Trump is attempting to achieve. Not just this month, this year, or even four years from now. Trump is rebuilding this country in the image of its great industrialist past. Democrats, meanwhile simply cannot pull out of their political "death spiral" and the New York Times lays out just how bad their polices truly are after 2024's bruising. Much is being debated about the big, beautiful bill as you know but can the Senate make it better? Stigall is joined by chief economist Steve Moore and one of the Republican final hawks who passed the House version last week Congressman Scott Perry. Plus, the movies had a big weekend, a Duck Dynasty star goes home, and the MAHA movement makes the rounds on the Sunday shows. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShow-Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

Richard Walsh's journey from the military to entrepreneurship reveals a powerful philosophy rooted in resilience, strategy, and intentional leadership. After experiencing both remarkable success and total financial collapse, Walsh rebuilt his life and business through focus, discipline, and system-driven thinking. He now helps business owners reclaim their time and profits by teaching them how to concentrate on their most valuable tasks—the "Owner's 5%"—while building teams and systems to handle the rest. His method emphasizes working smarter, not harder, and designing businesses that serve both professional and personal goals. Walsh also stresses the importance of planning with the end in mind. By starting every business with a clear exit strategy, owners can make better hiring decisions, evaluate opportunities more effectively, and align their actions with long-term outcomes. His approach is especially effective for trades and service-based industries, where improved communication and process automation—often using underutilized tools like AI—can lead to significant financial and operational transformation. His client case studies show consistent results: higher revenues, fewer hours worked, and dramatically improved quality of life. If you're a business owner feeling overwhelmed or stuck, Richard Walsh is offering a complimentary one-on-one coaching call to help you tackle your biggest business challenge right now. This is a chance to get personalized insight from someone who's helped countless entrepreneurs find clarity, regain control, and scale smarter.

They discuss Amanda's journey of taking time to reflect and how to inspire others to embrace change in a disrupted market.

Today, we're excited to welcome RJ Krone, President of Extraordinary Brands, to the show. RJ has an impressive background with nearly 20 years in franchising, including leading roles at Pvolve and others. Since joining the team, he's spearheaded the acquisition of three dynamic boutique fitness franchises: Eat the Frog, RowHouse, and Neighborhood Bar. In this episode, RJ shares his philosophy on criteria for awarding franchises, focusing on profitability, and the unique benefits of a diversified fitness portfolio. He also delves into the importance of maintaining the identity of each brand while ensuring seamless operational and marketing support. Krone's journey into the fitness industry began serendipitously in 2019 when Julie Cartwright from Pvolve introduced him to their innovative online and on-demand fitness modality. He saw potential in transforming this digital concept into a brick-and-mortar franchise and, after several in-depth conversations, Krone embraced the opportunity and officially joined Pvolve on April 13, 2020, amidst the early days of COVID. On bringing on new franchisees, Krone mentions, "I think it's all about identifying what the franchisee is looking for . . . aligning with their goals, and making sure they that makes sense. I think that comes across in what we do. So if they're wet behind the ears or whatever it might be, having these types of conversations shows the maturity of our system, as well as the team that we have." Key themes discussed Building community through classes. Prioritizing franchisee profitability first. Boutique fitness marketing strategy Passion drives fitness business success Franchisor cost management strategies People business needs personal touch Medication: A tool, not replacement A few key takeaways: 1. Strategic Growth through Acquisitions: Krone highlighted the acquisitions made by Extraordinary Brands, including Eat the Frog, RowHouse, and Neighborhood Bar, to diversify and create a well-rounded offering in the boutique fitness industry. This not only provides varied workout modalities, but also aligns with their commitment to making sure every franchisee remains profitable before expanding further. 2. Focus on Franchisee Profitability: A key point emphasized was ensuring the profitability of existing franchisees before awarding new ones. This dedication to operational support and franchisee success is a foundational aspect of their business model. Krone made it clear that building a strong support system for franchisees is essential to their overall strategy. 3. Inclusivity and Accessibility in Fitness: The brands under the Extraordinary Brands umbrella focus on inclusivity, serving a broad demographic range from younger individuals to seniors. Their emphasis on community and personalized coaching also illustrates their commitment to making fitness accessible and beneficial for everyone. 4. Value Engineering to Control Build-Out Costs: Controlling build-out costs is vital for maintaining sustainable unit economics. RJ mentioned specific strategies like reducing unnecessary tiling in bathrooms to save costs. This focus on cost-effective studio design ensures that franchisees can achieve a quicker return on investment. 5. Long-Term Vision and Support for Franchisees: Extraordinary Brands is dedicated to long-term success by providing continuous support and evolving their businesses.

Hey Rainmakers! Chelsey and Stephen here, and today's episode is all about redefining success with two of our favorite people, Zach and Ashley Spear. This conversation is packed with practical wisdom on balancing family, business, and faith while creating a life of intentionality and freedom. Zach and Ashley share their journey of working together as a couple, building a family-first business, and the unique ways they prioritize what matters most. One of the standout ideas from Zach and Ashley is their concept of “Wifey Wednesdays”—a midweek family day that breaks the traditional mold of work-life balance. They take Wednesdays off to spend uninterrupted time with their kids, avoiding the typical weekend chaos. It's a small shift with a huge impact, reminding us that success is about designing a life you love, not just grinding through the week. Zach and Ashley also dive into the early challenges of working together in business, from letting go of control to finding their unique roles. Ashley opens up about her transition from corporate life to entrepreneurship and how she overcame fears while discovering her strengths. Zach shares insights on creating a rhythm of rest and work, ensuring their priorities align with their long-term vision. We wrap up the conversation with actionable tips on building rhythms, including their Friday coffee dates to plan for both family and business. Whether you're balancing business with marriage, parenting, or personal growth, this episode will leave you inspired to rethink what success means for your family.
