Imagine following all the "steps" - getting your business set up and your employees trained so you can take time off for parental leave... only to return from leave to discover you've lost almost half your business.

Listen now!Can't-miss moments:No one likes needy: are you treating your money like a desperate lover chasing after someone? If you're constantly obsessing about how to get more money, Katherine has some tips for how to attract vs chase... Spoiler alert: MONEY IS MADE UP. It is literally flying over our heads this second, little data bytes we've all agreed equal something of value. Katherine and I reveal why we find this idea inspiring vs intimidating...Out of context quote: "Did I tell you about the time everything was fucked up and I thought we were all going to die?" Are you treating money as something you earn at the end of the journey, or as a tool to help you on that journey? Here's how to tell the difference...Turning it all around: how Katherine replaced all the lost income within four months (and ensured that losing nearly half her business overnight would never happen again)... Katherine's bio:Katherine, actress turned accountant, has capitalized on her artistic background to create the Money Storyteller MethodTM - a mindset and accounting framework that helps business owners rewrite bad money stories and scale without mess.

Jessie has a background in education and actually worked as a history teacher. One day in her third year, she wanted to teach some new classes and was given a flat refusal from her boss. At that point, she realized her days as a teacher were numbered. She stumbled upon Bookkeeper Business Launch on the Penny Hoarder and it seemed like a good fit. She enrolled in the course in August, launched her business in October and got her first client in November. [5:25] Before jumping into bookkeeping, Jessie was considering other jobs including different teaching positions. Once she learned what bookkeeping really is, it checked all her boxes. Going through the modules in the course was challenging initially but she benefited a lot by discussing the contents in the modules with her husband. [8:00] Jessie's first client was a startup that just needed some help with their setup. She was close enough to actually meet in person so she drove to her place to do some training with her before landing her as a client. She now has 15 monthly clients with a few others who require different services. [10:00] The first client and the majority of the subsequent clients were mainly found through LinkedIn. Building relationships with a couple local CPAs has also been helpful by referring clients and offering help. You never really know where the most valuable relationships will come from. [12:45] The business of bookkeeping can become a monster if you let it, so Jessie books time every day to make sure that she has time to herself. Even with that challenge, Jessie considers herself completely unemployable at this point. [14:20] There were three major struggles that could have ended Jessie's business. One of her lowest points involved getting fired by her second client. There are many reasons to quit a business but you have to remember why you started it in the first place. [16:25] In terms of vision, Jessie would like to move into more of a manager role. She would like to be able to work more with the clients and help them grow. [19:00] Jessie loves working with startups but it can be difficult because they have so much on their plate. It's a challenge to know what to charge and get their attention because they tend to be overwhelmed. It's a lot easier to help a business grow in the beginning than it is to jump into a big business that has never done their books at all. [20:50] It's very important to work with the right kind of startups. The ones with no money and no direction can be a major headache. The best kind of startup with whom to work are the ones with funding. If they don't have money because they're bootstrapping, it's probably going to be an issue. Vet and qualify your potential clients on the front end based on their capital structure and business model. [25:25] Most of Jessie's clients reach out to her within their first two years of business and the majority of them don't really do much beyond a box of receipts in terms of bookkeeping. The optimal time is probably around the one-year point. That's when it will be obvious if the business model is sustainable. [28:00] Jessie's niche is health and fitness but it really comes down to the personality of the entrepreneur that she's looking. It's important to write down the specific attributes of your ideal client and what motivates them. Start with your favorite clients and what they have in common. [31:20] Based on your avatar of your ideal client, think about who already has their attention. For Jessie that means CPAs and people in the banking industry. That can also mean attorneys, podcasters and authors as well. Those are the people with whom you want to establish relationships. It doesn't take too many of those to start getting clients. Keep in mind that the best way to get a referral is to give a referral. [35:30] You should try to get in the frame of mind of the referral partner and what they need from the relationship. [36:40] Jessie could also get a list of recently established business owners and create a piece of content to serve their needs then put that in front of them. [38:10] Jessie should strive to be known as the Startup Bookkeeper. It won't be a rapid process. but by creating content that actually helps her avatar achieve what they are trying to accomplish, she can become a trusted authority. Most of the people with whom you get connected will never pan out, but the ones that do work with you will pay off. [40:20] Startups have a particular set of challenges. By creating a lot of content and doing the work upfront, Jessie can create a tribe that will be much more inclined to become her clients when the time comes.     Contact us about the show: hello@ilovebookkeeping.com

#444: Alexis Grant is founder & CEO of They Got Acquired, a media company that helps entrepreneurs sell online businesses. Previously, she was EVP of Content at The Penny Hoarder, a personal finance media brand, where she worked alongside the founder as the third employee to scale the company's content operations. She also founded The Write Life, an online community for writers she sold in 2021. Lexi began her career as a reporter at the Houston Chronicle and U.S. News & World Report, before growing a boutique content marketing agency, which was acquired by The Penny Hoarder in 2015. She lives with husband and two young kids in Harpers Ferry, WV.

Hannah found that with her previous business she was traveling a lot and wasn't able to spend much time with her husband. She was researching jobs that she could do from home at that time and came across the Bookkeeper Business Launch course on the Penny Hoarder website and decided to give it a try. [6:10] Hannah serves around 12 clients at this point. There was a lot of fear originally, taking on a client beyond Hannah's husband who was her first, but she realized that she really did have all the tools she needed to be an exceptional bookkeeper thanks to Ben's course. [8:35] All of Hannah's clients have come from LinkedIn mining, a special tactic that is covered in the course. She spent some money on Facebook but the stuff that has worked and gotten her paying clients has been completely free. [9:20] Hannah originally started out working with farmers but quickly realized they are not clients interested in paying for a bookkeeper. She has since expanded to working with agriculture businesses instead. [12:00] There is always another fear to break through. For Hannah, one of her greatest fears is one she has to overcome nearly every day; that her clients are not going to be happy. That one day she will send them an invoice and they will say she isn't doing enough for them and they won't want to pay. [14:00] There are always things that we wish we could do differently, but those are the very lessons that got us to where we are. For Hannah, that came in the form of turning down a client that wasn't willing to pay the price for the service that he desperately needed. In that case, she was glad that she managed to avoid what would have been a big mistake. [16:30] Some days the stress of owning her own business is too much, but at the same time, she couldn't imagine doing anything else. The best part of owning a business is the freedom to choose her hours. [18:20] Hannah's current opportunity is adding cash flow as an advisory service to her business but she's not sure how to implement it or how to sell it. [21:10] Everyone is motivated in one of two ways; they either want something or don't want something. For the client that has requested Hannah forecast their cash flow, they are trying to avoid debt. Before she adds a new service to her business, she should really understand what her clients are looking for and what they want. She should ask to talk to them for 20 to 30 minutes about their vision for their business and what they are trying to achieve. [23:45] In Ben's experience, 98% of accounting professionals do not present their clients the statement of cash flows. The reason they don't is because they don't understand it. Hannah should continue to show the statement to each of her clients but also seek to learn what it means and how to explain the information. [26:45] The most common questions that Hannah gets are basically “How much money do we have?” and “How can I pay these bills?”. Most of Hannah's clients are somewhat financially savvy, but she's found that what they want is for Hannah to take care of everything. But what they really need is collaboration. [29:00] Hannah is in a position where she doesn't have to take on new clients, that means she can filter through clients that are interested in collaborating rather than just dumping their financials on her. [30:30] When looking for new clients, Hannah can look for people that are willing to pay for her advisory services, need them, and are willing to collaborate with her. [31:50] Hannah should surprise one of her clients by just adding that service for free as a way to gain experience and feedback. The name of the game is simply listening to our clients and then giving them what they want. [33:50] Data entry and figuring out problems are Hannah's wheelhouse. She's comfortable and confident in those skills. [36:00] Hannah is hoping to take on a couple more employees so she can work in a more part-time role. To do that she's going to have to get clear on what she wants for her business, what it is that her clients want, and the sweet spot between the two. [38:30] The first thing Hannah is going to do is talk to her clients, dig into what they really want, and then she is going to get to know the statement of cash flows. Next, she's going to make a big push for new clients that are interested in working with her in an advisory capacity. [40:20] What are the roles that your potential clients are playing in their business that they don't want to? What are the pains they are experiencing? What are the things that they want?     Contact us about the show: hello@ilovebookkeeping.com

Mike Gardon was a hardworking type-A professional trader and entrepreneur. But he found real fulfillment when he stopped making decisions with his head and began making them with his heart. Now, he's joining us for a frank conversation on the power of teaching our kids entrepreneurship, the importance of work-life balance, and how to live a life you're proud of. Mike Gardon is the founder of multiple successful businesses, an investor, a Digital Media Executive, and most importantly - a husband and father. He is currently the CEO of Rejoin Media, a holding company for digital brands and businesses. He is also the Executive Editor and Host of the acclaimed Careercloud Radio podcast. Mike is an advocate for remote work and intentional work-life integration. He runs his teams remotely from the beautiful (and affordable!) Midwest, where he resides with his wife and three young boys. You can read Mike's writing and media mentions on investing, startups, life and work across the internet on these sites: The Simple Dollar, Reviews.com, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Business Insider, Yahoo News, GoBankingRates, Ask Men, Cosmopolitan, Discover Financial, The Penny Hoarder and Good Financial Cents. Design your dream life Things seemed like they were progressing in Mike's life. He was a young futures trader in Chicago taking risks and learning a lot. But he describes his time in trading as mediocre - because his heart wasn't in it.  When he read The Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin, he had a powerful realization that sometimes you have to take steps backward in order to propel yourself forward. Abandoning his expectations for a linear career path, Mike quit his trading job the very next day and got his MBA, beginning a career in content marketing. He eventually founded ReJoin Media to grow digital brands in a conscious and thoughtful way. He also hosts the Careercloud podcast, created to help listeners design the dream life and career of their choosing. Early in his career Mike looked around him and didn't feel aligned with the expectations of corporate America. Rigid and unforgiving, these positions often demanded a workaholic attitude and a neglect of the day-to-day activities of family life. He decided to envision a life he could be proud of and tailor his career to fit his personal goals. More and more entrepreneurs are choosing their career steps to complement an integration with work and life - and this trend is not going anywhere! Mike Gardon built multiple successful businesses around the importance of being present for his wife and his three sons. The best ideas are inspired In addition to his work in digital marketing and investing, Mike Gardon also founded Quotebook, a keepsake journal created out of a desire to preserve his own family's memories.  Early in his marriage to his wife Stephanie, Mike realized the importance of showing up. Stephanie attended Medical School and did her Residency while Mike's career was taking off - leaving them exhausted and disconnected. They were collapsed on the couch after a long day when Stephanie blurted out something funny about the cheese balls they were snacking on. After Mike rushed to write it down, he conceived of the idea to write down the moments that matter.  Now parents of three young boys, Mike and Dr. Stephanie Gardon write down the hilarious things their sons say, reading them aloud at bedtime. It helps them bond over the humor of everyday life. The boys even learn the power of entrepreneurship through helping Mike fulfill orders for Quotebook - mastering lessons about money, marketing, customer service and follow-through. The Gardons also donate part of the proceeds of Quotebook to fight the opioid crisis, giving opportunities for essential and life-saving services to those who need them. The Quotebook journal is tailor-made to help other families remain close even when life gets rushed. When discussing Quotebook, Mike Gardon reminds us that the best business ideas connect us to our humanity! Everything Mike does, he does with heart. After listening to this episode, you'll be inspired to design a life you're proud of! Quotes “I'm big on figuring out what type of life you want, and then figuring out how to build that.” “I say ‘work life', instead of ‘career', because I think our work and our lives are really integrated.” “I had to find what I didn't want, and build a company that gave us flexibility and ease to be parents, husbands and wives, instead of our goal being to grow-grow-grow all the time.” “I always have this battle between being aspirational and shooting for the moon, and finding balance. At the end of the day, what our people are after is flexibility and opportunity. If I can provide that, I'm pretty happy!” “I've stopped being hyper-rational and thinking about the numbers. This doesn't come naturally to me; I've worked with a coach on it. As I've led with the feeling, it's led me in a good direction.” “Quotebook was born out of something deeply personal. Before my wife and I were married, I was trading and she was in medical school. We came home and we were so tired. We could just collapse on the couch and inevitably someone would say something funny. Now, we read these funny things and get transported back to that moment. Now we have kids, three young boys, and they say funny things. We even read from it at bedtime.” “I used Quotebook to teach my kids about entrepreneurship. You have to risk something, talk to people, get feedback and understand how people will use it. It's been this cool mentorship path with my kids.” “The funny moments are what we look back on and remember.” “I don't want [my kids] to think about how to be a success. I want them to think about, ‘how can I enjoy my life?'” “Big decisions like what to do with your life - I don't think you can just think your way through that.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit Mike Gardon's personal website at https://www.michaelgardon.com  Listen to Mike as he hosts the Careercloud radio podcast on their website: https://www.careercloud.com/careercloud-radio  Contact ReJoin Media at https://www.rejoinmedia.com/  Learn more about the Quotebook journal on the website: https://quotebookjournal.com/  Connect with Mike Gardon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgardon/

Dana has shared her financial expertise as a contributor with Forbes, The New York Times, CNBC, The Motley Fool, NextAdvisor, The Penny Hoarder and a column for Inc. Magazine.

Summary: On today's episode, we're talking about the fact that being debt-free has made me a better realtor. Sneak peeks: “At some point, I need to get the real expert and the brains of our family operation on here: my wife. She's good with money and probably the only reason we have a dime to our name. We followed Dave Ramsey's principles and plans, even during the hard few months that I've shared about previously when I only made a few thousand dollars.” “When you're struggling financially or not making it, there's this pressure that you feel. And I think it almost comes out of you, even if you don't want it to. Like, ‘Oh my goodness, you need to buy a house.'” Learn all of this and more: The stress I was under and how my wife was (is) a superstar How we survived at the beginning, making only a few thousand dollars How long it took before business picked up The plan we followed What being debt-free did to my interactions with clients The amount of debt we paid off and how fast How close we were to losing our house Milestones we passed on our journey The exact path you can follow to become debt-free What financial pressure does to you as a Realtor Why being debt-free relieves pressure on you as an agent The difference this shift makes in your interactions What it's like to have the freedom millions covet What's coming next for the podcast Resources: https://www.ramseysolutions.com/ (Dave Ramsey Solutions) https://www.thepennyhoarder.com/ (Penny Hoarder) https://www.shoestringcottage.com/great-frugal-resources-save-money/ (Shoestring Cottage) https://www.thefrugalsouth.com/rich-life-budget-resources/ (50+ Resources for Living a Rich Life on a Budget) Show notes and blog posts are brought to you by https://my.captivate.fm/HarshmanServices.com (HarshmanServices) and https://my.captivate.fm/RealtorEmails.com (RealtorEmails).

Lexi Grant didn't start her first or second business with the goal of selling them one day. She was just doing what she does best: bootstrapping content companies from the ground up. But thanks to an acquihire that thrust her career forward, and a six-figure exit from a side project called The Write Life, Lexi knows just how meaningful an acquisition can be. Learn about her journey through both businesses — and the moment she knew it was time to create They Got Acquired.For more stories like this, sign up for our newsletter: https://TheyGotAcquired.com/newsletterFor the full transcript of this episode, go to:  https://theygotacquired.com/podcast/lexi-grant-they-got-acquired/

Have you ever wondered why certain brands have started investing in content marketing? This episode will shine some light on that question. Alexis Grant shares why her first and second exit were so successful because of her great content marketing and how she believes other business owners can increase the value of their business by focusing on more than the multiple—by focusing on the "story" of the brand and how it really reaches its market. This entrepreneurial story is about growing true value in your business using high quality content, without sacrificing good business sense. Alexis found the entrepreneurial bug after starting her career off in journalism and realizing how important a personal brand was when she struck out on her own as a freelancer. Growing and selling her first business, a content media company dedicated to growing businesses with blogs, showed her that brand matters just as much to companies as individuals. Maybe more so. Tune in today to learn what you might be missing on the brand side of content marketing. What You Will Learn Why companies buy teams rather than other assets (called 'acquihire') What led Alexis to choose the acquihire route The benefits of running a company with a small team and why Alexis likes that approach so much Why Alexis chose to pivot from the content space to the M&A space How content marketing helps companies gain the trust of their customers Why increasing your multiple is not the right metric to solely focus on when selling What impact branding had on Alex selling her second business Why certain aspects of your digital marketing strategy can be worth more to a buyer than others When content should be your biggest expense as a business owner // USE YOUR FINANCIALS TO CLARIFY A PATH TOWARDS A MORE VALUABLE BUSINESS: Intentional Growth Financial Assessment Bio: Alexis Grant is a media innovator who specializes in building content teams and growth marketing. From 2015-2019, Alexis led the content division at The Penny Hoarder as Executive Vice President of Content. After joining the company as the third employee, she worked alongside the founder to scale, growing their audience to tens of millions of readers, developing their brand reputation as a leader in media, and building infrastructure to support 100+ employees. After selling her company, The Write Life, in early 2021, she began building They Got Acquired, a media brand that focuses on acquisitions of online businesses and is her current venture.
