"Where ARE all the good employees?!"

Bill Betts engages in an enlightening dialogue with Crystal Lee, a distinguished business coach specializing in the pet grooming industry, and Tim Seymour from Profit First Professionals. The pivotal focus of this episode revolves around the innovative financial management system known as Profit First, which advocates for a paradigm shift in how business owners perceive and allocate their profits. By altering the traditional formula of sales minus expenses equals profit, the Profit First methodology encourages entrepreneurs to prioritize profit from the outset, thereby fostering a more sustainable and profitable business model. Through this discussion, I gain valuable insights into the practical applications of Profit First within the context of the pet grooming sector and the broader implications for financial health in small businesses. The episode serves as a comprehensive resource for pet grooming professionals seeking to refine their financial strategies and enhance their business operations.Takeaways: The Profit First methodology emphasizes the importance of prioritizing profit by allocating funds to a separate account before expenses are accounted for. Business owners often struggle with understanding their finances, leading to reactive rather than proactive financial management, which can result in unexpected tax liabilities. The Profit First system encourages a disciplined approach to financial planning, helping business owners forecast and manage their income and expenses effectively. Implementing Profit First can lead to a mindset shift, where individuals begin to view their finances with greater clarity and confidence, ultimately improving their financial health. Regularly reviewing and adjusting allocation percentages within the Profit First system enables business owners to optimize their financial strategies over time. Establishing a series of dedicated accounts for profit, expenses, taxes, and owner's pay can simplify financial management and enhance overall business profitability.

September is Self Care Awareness Month, and we've been talking about it– in our emails, on our social accounts, in conversations with one another. And honestly, the topic is resonating. Why?  Because self care is SO important for you as a business owner, but the term itself is so broad and it looks different for everyone, which makes navigating it tricky.  We're all in different stages of our lives, have different resources, and enjoy different things– so how can we determine the magic self care cure for battling burnout?   The truth is– we can't. This isn't magic. This is about taking stock of your life, your priorities, and your burnout red flags and coming up with a self care plan that works for YOU.  In this episode, your host and Pet Boss Nation CEO, Candace, shares:  ❤️ Where she is in her life right now, and why she's been personally thinking about what self care looks like in her stage of life and business.  ❤️ Why self care is more than a mug of hot tea or a trip to the spa (although those things can totally be part of your plan too!) ❤️ Six realistic, raw, and helpful tips to help you get ahead of burnout before it's too late.  ❤️ Why self care isn't just about business– it's about you as a human who is juggling business, life, family, and other priorities.  ❤️ Why finding your people is such a big difference maker in life AND business.
