Jim Simons never took a single class on finance, wasn't interested in business, and didn't start trading full time until he was 40. The company he founded —  Renaissance Technologies — has made over $100 billion in profits.Starting out with the heretical belief that there was a hidden structure in financial markets, Jim decided to staff his “crazy hedge fund” with mathematicians, computer scientists, and physicists. He went to great lengths to collect more historic financial data than anyone else, spent a lot of time recruiting “killers” (people with single minded focus that wouldn't quit), invested heavily in computers (and the people who ran them), and designed the most collaborative work environment.Jim was a world-class mathematician, code breaker, exceptional manager of people with exceptional minds, a genius in system design, and deeply understood the power of incentives. He was also incapable of giving up, willing to endure a decade of struggle and pain, and hell-bent on doing something “historic” with his life.Jim Simons lived a life defined by persistence, unconventional thinking, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Studying his life and work is time well spent. This episode is what I learned from rereading The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution by Gregory Zuckerman. ----Ramp gives you everything you need to control spend, watch your costs, and optimize your financial operations —all on a single platform.

In some ways, building the business of your dreams is like building your dream home. It starts with a concept and vision to create a place where everyone can relax, enjoy themselves, and make great memories in a beautiful space they can't wait to return to. But how do you turn your vision and your story into reality? That's where a professional like today's guest comes in to help. Dala Al-Fuwaires is responsible for some of the most iconic spaces you'll see here in Arizona and around the world. She's the founder, CEO, and principal designer of House of Form, an interior design firm in Phoenix that Dala describes as "experience design" that activates all five senses, helping clients become a go-to hospitality space. Their mission revolves around crafting an accessible form of luxury with an intangible vibe that's ethereal and elusive, all achieved through the medium of impeccable interior design.  In our conversation, Dala shares how House of Form has set itself apart from typical design firms and how she helps her clients tell their stories through design. You'll also hear how her clients become clients for life instead of a "one and done" and what she's doing to inspire others, especially women with a passion for entrepreneurship.  In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How a chance encounter with a fortune teller as a child inspired Dala to follow her passion for architecture and design. The unconventional technique Dala uses with new clients to help them design spaces based on intuition and feeling. How Dala uses equity, “reverse reviews,” and team research trips to build a loyal team and company that can grow and scale together. How Dala's experience with the gender pay gap prompted her to take the leap into entrepreneurship in 2015. The activities and competitions Dala hosts to empower innovators in the Valley.  Interview Resources House of Form House of Form on LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube | Pinterest Dala Al-Fuwaires on LinkedIn | Instagram |Facebook | X/Twitter Pulitzer Amsterdam Clockwork: Design Your Business to Run Itself by Mike Michalowicz Donald Miller StoryBrand Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Wickman Unreasonable Hospitality: The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect by Will Guidara Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine by Mike Michalowicz

Hey #AmWriters, Jennie here. I'm excited to welcome editor and publishing strategist, AJ Harper to the show to talk about the art of helping writers do their best work. AJ helps nonfiction authors write foundational books that enable them to build readership, grow their brand, and make a significant impact on the world. She was part of the writing coaching team for TEDx Cambridge, one of the largest TED events in the world. As a ghost writer and a developmental editor, AJ has worked with business writers of all kinds, guiding them to bestseller lists and to many millions of copies sold. She's worked on 10 books with business writer Mike Michalowicz, including Profit First: Transform Your Business From a Cash Eating Monster to a Money Making Machine. Her own book on writing came out in 2023. It's called Write A Must Read: Craft a Book That Changes Lives, Including Your Own. This book is one of the best books on writing nonfiction I've ever read and it's one of the best books on writing period, which is why I wanted to have AJ come on and talk to us. Our conversation will be incredibly helpful for anyone writing nonfiction, but also for people writing fiction and memoir. AJ is just really smart about story structure, thinking about the reader, and fine tuning your ear for good writing. Her story about how she stepped out from behind the ghostwriting curtain to raise her own voice and claim her own authority is riveting.Books mentioned in the episode:Little Women, Louisa M. AlcottThe Trumpet of the Swan, E.B. WhiteCaddie Woodlawn, Carol Ryrie BrinkHey readers—KJ here. This episode of #AmWriting is brought to you by my latest, Playing the Witch Card. I wrote this at a moment when I needed more magic in my life—but it turned out to be a book about how until we know who we are and what makes us happy, even magic doesn't help. My main character, Flair, is a total control freak who fears the chaos created by her family deck of Tarot cards and the cookies it inspires her to make until she decides that she can harness their power to control the world and people around her—but that's not what the cards are for at all. I was inspired by what I see as the real magic of Tarot cards—and tea leaves and palm reading and every form of oracle: they help us to see and understand our own stories. As someone for whom stories are pretty much everything, I love that. You can buy Playing the Witch Card on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Bookshop.org and my local indie—and I hope you'll love it too.

Madeline Soto was just 13 years old when she was reported missing on Monday, February 26, 2024. Her body was found on March 1st in a bamboo tree grove 22 miles from home.

Lisa Larter has a strategic marketing firm, providing consulting services around strategy and business advisement. Like many entrepreneurs, Lisa started off thinking she had to do everything herself. In this episode, she shares the wisdom she's gained from using her growth mindset to gain continual business success. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:The role of an entrepreneur in their business.The way in which Lisa's background in retail helped her with marketing.The importance for entrepreneurs of understanding cash flow.How to make sure you're prepared to pay taxes.What let Lisa know that her business idea “had legs.”The wisdom Lisa would impart to her past self.The variety of benefits Lisa has gotten as a member of the Strategic Coach® entrepreneurial community.  Show Notes: The entrepreneur's main capability is vision. There are many talented people who don't have a purpose or a vision for using their talents. A lot of people understand sales and profit, but they don't understand cash flow and the timing and movement of money. Meet as many of the right people as you can that you want to do business with.  People should aim to have a baseline—a certain amount of cash they want to carry in their business—and do whatever they can to avoid going below that number. Entrepreneurs want freedom in their lives. And money buys you freedom. Every entrepreneur needs some type of mentor, coach, or advisor that they can talk to when they have difficult things going on. You will cap your potential if you don't learn how to lead and build a team. If you're entrepreneurial and you have a dream, it doesn't matter what your background or education is. Resources: Who Not How Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine by Mike Michalowicz The Self-Managing Company by Dan Sullivan

Welcome back to the Prosperous Empath®, during today's episode, I'm excited to share with you some of the books that have completely unlocked new perspectives, levels of growth, transformed experiences in my relationships, with my finances, and have ultimately made the biggest difference for me in business and life over the past decade. Each of the books are either related to relationships, money mindset, or overcoming resistance. I'll be sharing the top 13 books, but breaking them into a two-part series so make sure you're subscribed to the show to be reminded of next week's episode. Now, something I really appreciate about personal development books, leadership books, and self-help books is that some people can be empowered by them, and others not so much... If you are someone who uses personal development books to justify why you are where you are, consider not listening to this episode because I don't want to provide more fuel to that fire. But if you're willing to check your own assumptions and start questioning some of the bounds of what's possible for you and the people in your life, then listen on. After listening, let me know which book you are adding to your TBR!    Topics: How we can intellectualize ourselves out of changing our lives and the role that books can play in this  The way our capacity to receive is indicative of the internal work we have to do to transform our external reality  Using Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay to help you decide if your current romantic relationship is for you or not and cultivate more personal growth  Reading Calling in the One when you're ready to do the work and welcome in a new romantic partner into your life, including Cat's favorite feng shui exercises  Disentangling the way you self sabotage and the ways in which we all self sabotage and hold ourselves back from making our dreams a reality using The War of Art Why Cat believes you need to have the basics in place with your business finances in order to really leverage and scale your money mindset and how Profit First can help you do this  Transforming your relationship with money and believing the good that it can do in the world in order to accrue more of it using Secrets of the Millionaire Mind Uncovering the common characteristics of millionaires in The Millionaire Next Door and how you can apply them to your own life to call in more wealth    Episode Resources: Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay: A Step-by-Step Guide to Help You Decide Whether to Stay In or Get Out of Your Relationship by Mira Kirshenbaum Calling in the One: 7 Weeks to Attract the Love of Your Life by Katherine Woodward Thomas The War of Art by Steven Pressfield Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine by Mike Michalowicz  Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth by T.

Jason Snider is the Founder and CEO of Aspyr Advisors, a bookkeeping and business advising firm. He's also the Co-founder and Managing Director at Summit eCommerce Advisors, an accounting firm supporting e-commerce professionals. Twenty years in the accounting industry exposed Jason to the challenges e-commerce entrepreneurs face utilizing traditional accounting, and it inspired his vision to create improved solutions. Additionally, as a Certified Profit First Professional, he coaches entrepreneurs by providing them with the tools needed to scale their businesses. In this episode… Bookkeeping is essential for operating a profitable e-commerce business because it helps owners organize and access their finances, plan an annual budget, and understand their financial health. And while it may be cost-effective to do your own bookkeeping, not having thorough accounting knowledge could cause your company to lose money. So how can entrepreneurs manage their company's finances like an accounting professional? Regardless of the method used to log company spending, business owners should habitually review their financial records on a monthly basis. This allows for monthly comparisons and identifying areas where additional spending or cuts may be beneficial. Jason Snider, a certified accountant, recommends using a reliable accounting system such as A2X to accurately track the cost of goods and other data input. Another method for properly managing company funds is implementing a Profit First system. This accounting strategy aims to help small businesses improve their cash flow and profitability by setting aside a percentage of revenue as profit before paying expenses. In today's episode of the eComm Breakthrough Podcast, Josh Hadley welcomes Jason Snider, Founder and CEO of Aspyr Advisors, to discuss innovative e-commerce bookkeeping. Jason shares common bookkeeping mistakes, methodologies for tracking and reconciling the cost of goods, and expounds on the Profit First strategy and how to execute it.

In this episode… Profit First is a financial management system created by author Mike Michalowicz. The fundamental idea is to prioritize allocation over traditional accounting. The system emphasizes the importance of setting aside profit to drive long-term business success and encourages a disciplined approach to success. How can e-commerce sellers implement the Profit First methodology to maintain profitability while scaling? Profit First professional Cyndi Thomason advocates three practices to accelerate scaling: optimizing inventory management, leveraging manufacturing partnerships, and strategically managing expenses. To enhance your inventory management, order less to ensure a rapid ROI. Cyndi notes that many e-commerce sellers should learn to negotiate with their manufacturers. Beyond building a relationship, practice the art of negotiation — it could secure you 0% financing. This is one of the quickest methods to scale your business. Lastly, focus on the three main drivers of expenses: inventory, Amazon FBA fees, and advertising spend — including assessing your COGS. In this episode of the eComm Breakthrough Podcast, Josh Hadley interviews Cyndi Thomason, Founder and President of bookskeep, about profitability drivers to help your business scale. Cyndi shares her inspiration for writing Profit First for Ecommerce Sellers, lists common bookkeeping hurdles e-commerces sellers face, and explains how to implement the Profit First methodology.

However, smart and strategic methods can guarantee you a spot in the exclusive eight-figure club. What actions should you take to earn next-level profits? Amazon consultant Vincenzo Toscano recommends a six-step framework to grow your business. However, he advises sellers to moderately introduce each phase, starting by implementing catalog expansion, product optimization, and external marketing. External marketing includes utilizing blogs, influencers, and brand ambassadors, which helps drive traffic to your website. Once you've launched and optimized new products by updating copy and keywords, sellers should focus on expanding internationally — focusing on the UK and Germany — and become proficient in PPC and manufacturing negotiations. In addition to having favorable relationships with your manufacturer, ensure the payment terms are advantageous to your profit's bottom line. In this episode of the eComm Breakthrough Podcast with Josh Hadley, Vincenzo Toscano, Founder and CEO of Ecomcy, talks about mastermind business growth hacks. Vincenzo discusses brand expansion through new launches, leveraging influencers to promote brands, and hiring specialized experts for an efficient operation.

When's the last time you did something you had *no* experience in? And when's the last time you tried to make that thing into a career? While this might be an extreme jump for most people, it's all part of a key philosophy for succeeding in business and life: pushing the boundaries of what you think is “possible.”    No one can speak to that philosophy better than David Wood. After life as a consulting actuary to Fortune 100 companies, David built a successful coaching business and became #1 on Google for “life coaching” at one point. He coaches high-performing entrepreneurs, executives, teams, and even prison inmates to amazing results and connection, one conversation at a time. He wrote his coaching philosophy in his book, “Mouse in the Room: Because the Elephant isn't Alone”, with foreword by Jack Canfield.   Tune into the full conversation for more on how David made the jump from the corporate world to his own coaching business, his time as a musician (and now his journey as a budding actor), why entrepreneurs typically constrain themselves, several book recommendations, and more.   Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn:    More about the “accident” that led to David leaving the Fortune 100 world and eventually wading into entrepreneurship More on David's new journey of becoming an actor  Why David has gone into so many fields in which he had zero experience — and why that philosophy gets to the heart of what he now offers in his coaching business What “you can't read the label from inside the jar” means The story about one of David's clients whose business made $20 million in revenue — but he still wasn't paying himself Why it's so common for entrepreneurs and leaders to constrain themselves — and how to get past that hurdle How David measures success in his life, plus what the “game” is that everyone is playing, whether they realize it or not More about David's book, “Mouse in the Room” and why he wrote it, plus his recommendation for a fiction book that's helped him in his life   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  Focus.CEO website David Wood on LinkedIn “Mouse in the Room: Because the Elephant isn't Alone” by David Wood Focus.ceo with David Wood on Facebook Extraordinary Focus with David Wood on YouTube “The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick)” by Seth Godin “Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine” by Mike Michalowicz “The Name of the Wind” by Patrick Rothfuss Buy a copy of “Lost at CEO: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Strategy” by Carl J.
