In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes Steve Burns to the show. Steve is the founder of New Trader U, a blog with thousands of articles plus online courses.   Steve kicks things off by explaining how trading is math, detailing how its different components are formulaic. He says that understanding the "math" of expectancy for your returns can help you with managing your discipline, and knowing the risk-to-reward ratio for any trade is the first important step that every investor needs to take before they enter a trade. Steve notes that despite what many folks might believe, being right 50% of the time is pretty good. But even performing that well requires understanding the risks that your trades have. (0:00)   Next, Steve reflects on his early trading days, comparing his methodology and results then with his current strategies. Then he details one metric that determines profitability. It's the most important thing you need to be mindful of that will impact the profits your trades bring in, regardless of factors like win rates. And Steve analyzes the cons with modern trading that ease of entry has provided. Most individual investors don't realize these risks exist and stand poised to lose big. (14:37)   Finally, Steve discusses how to create an edge in trading as an individual investor despite the overwhelming odds. He then explains "positive expectancy," a mathematical formula that shows your average losses versus your average wins. Knowing this can help you more properly filter out volatility, which traders should keep in mind when establishing their position sizes and stop losses. And Steve shares the green lights he looks for when entering a trade. (30:53)

Month one looks great. Month two looks even better. Then month three hits and your revenue drops by 60%. What just happened? Your organic audience ran out of people. That's what happened. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Kerry Egeler, a veteran in the expert space who's been running paid ads for nearly a decade across e-commerce and coaching businesses. Kerry breaks down the hard truth most coaches don't want to hear: you can't scale a business on organic content alone. You're capped by how much you can create and how much the algorithm decides to show it. We talk about when to actually start running paid ads (hint: not on day one), why cold traffic becomes your biggest asset over time, and how to handle the inevitable haters that show up when you start paying for attention. Kerry also shares why some of the most successful experts watch their webinar get attended three times before someone buys - and why that's not a problem, it's the strategy. You'll discover: Why you need proof before you add paid ads (and what "proof" actually means) How cold traffic compounds into warm audiences that eventually convert—and why most people quit too early Why your organic audience can't keep up with your revenue goals (it's just math) The mindset shift from letting data decide vs. letting one angry comment shut you down Why negative comments are actually the cleanest indicator you're reaching new people This episode isn't about abandoning organic content. It's about understanding that hope isn't a growth strategy. If you're doing $5K-$10K/month and wondering how to break through to the next level, this conversation will show you the lever you've been avoiding. If you've been stuck at the same revenue ceiling month after month while the algorithm plays games with your reach... this episode is for you.

In this episode of Confessions of Supply Chain Executives, host Chris Walton sits down with Richard McKenzie, CEO at Veloq, to tackle one of retail's most persistent questions: When does online grocery finally become profitable? For years, grocers have chased digital growth, but profitability has remained elusive. High picking costs, last mile complexity, thin margins, and legacy infrastructure continue to weigh down performance. Richard breaks down where the real friction points are, why many retailers are still structuring e-commerce as a cost center instead of an operating model, and what has to change for online grocery to truly scale sustainably. This episode explores the operational realities behind digital grocery, from fulfillment models and automation strategies to the role of data orchestration across the enterprise. Richard explains why profitability is less about volume and more about precision, and how retailers that rethink their tech stack, store operations, and network design may finally turn the corner. Key Topics covered: • Why online grocery margins remain under pressure • The true cost of store pick vs. micro fulfillment • Where last mile economics break down • How legacy systems quietly erode profitability • The operational tradeoffs between speed, convenience, and cost • Why data orchestration is becoming a competitive advantage • What scalable automation actually looks like in grocery • The tipping point that could finally make online grocery profitable

Show Summary: In today's episode of the Grow My Accounting Practice, we explore what it truly means to build a purpose-driven, profitable business. Profit for Good: How Purpose-Driven Businesses Turn Passion into Sustainable, Profitable Impact reframes profitability as the starting point for generosity, not the reward at the end. Through real client stories, we share how passion projects became sustainable, revenue-producing businesses once clarity, structure, and intentional profit were put in place. The conversation highlights how Profit First creates the confidence business owners need to say "yes" to impact without sacrificing financial stability. We also discuss the powerful mindset shift from "I'll give when I have more" to "I give because I'm profitable on purpose," and how accountants and advisors can help clients align money, mission, and long-term sustainability. This episode is a reminder that profit isn't selfish — it's what makes lasting impact possible.   Website:http://venusmichael.com http://one21accountability.com LinkedIn:http://www.linkedin.com/in/venusmichael/ Instagram:http://www.instagram.com/one21accountability/   Corporate Partner: BILL. - https://www.bill.com/   Profit First App Version 2.0 is here!  More Education.

What if the skills you've already mastered in a traditional job were enough to build a profitable, flexible business from home?In this episode of the Inventive Journey Podcast, host Devin Miller sits down with Haylee Gernert, an online business manager who transformed her career from dental office operations into a thriving virtual business. Haylee shares how she leveraged real-world experience—organization, communication, systems thinking, and client care—to create a sustainable work-from-home career without hype, hustle culture, or burning out.Haylee's journey began in Northern California, where she entered a dental assisting program straight out of high school. Within days of graduating, she was earning an income while many of her peers were just beginning college. Over the next 15 years, she worked her way through nearly every role in the dental office, from chairside assisting to office management. Along the way, she developed a deep understanding of operations, conflict resolution, and how to make people feel supported—even in high-stress environments.As life changed and family priorities grew, Haylee began searching for a way to work from home. That search led her to the emerging world of virtual assisting. In the early days, virtual assistants were often former executive assistants or office managers working remotely long before it became mainstream. When COVID accelerated the shift to remote work, demand for skilled virtual professionals exploded.Haylee joined an agency to gain experience and structure, but soon realized she was capable of more than task execution. She wasn't just checking boxes—she was solving problems, building systems, and thinking strategically. With the encouragement of mentors and clients, she began transitioning into higher-level work as an online business manager.In this conversation, Haylee breaks down the differences between virtual assistants and online business managers, the pros and cons of working with agencies, and how to know when it's time to raise rates or step out on your own. She also shares candid lessons about setting boundaries, advocating for your value, and learning to fire clients when necessary.You'll also hear Haylee's advice for anyone starting a service-based business today, including why networking is one of the most underrated growth tools and how listening—really listening—can shape your offers more effectively than guessing ever could.This episode is a must-listen for professionals considering virtual work, freelancers looking to level up, or business owners curious about how online operators actually help companies scale.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

Many pharmacy owners invest in expensive technology but fail to fully utilize the system's secondary and valuable features. This is a costly mistake!  It leaves significant operational efficiencies and profit opportunities unrealized. This program also invites managers to carefully review their tech vendor invoices to ensure new charges have not been added or that fees have not been quietly increased for features in their software agreements. Kevin Minassian, President of DataScan, notes his company provides a wide range of profit-enhancing services at no additional cost while competitors often add additional fees.

He is the co-founder of Honu Worldwide and Innovative Product Development, Sourcing and 3PL company based in Pennsylvania. Afolabi has always been a has always been passionate about finding things, haggling and negotiating prices. His obsession with finding good quality products at bargain prices led him to help several seven and eight figure brands increase their profits and scale rapidly by buying smart from Asia and the US. He is behind the successful launches of several multi-million dollar products on Amazon and other retail channels. An entrepreneur at heart, Afolabi owns and has sold a few seven figure private label brands. He loves helping people design, develop and manufacture innovative products. Welcome to the show.Afolabi 00:00:53  Thank you Josh. I'm happy to be here. I'm excited.Josh 00:00:56  You know, if you were to restart on Amazon, which I think that's what you're doing now, is you're creating some new brands and launching them on Amazon. What are some of those lessons, actionable takeaways that you can give to other sellers to say, hey, here are the challenges that we faced at different points in the business, that I'm going to make sure that we don't go through these same challenges again in the future.Josh 00:01:20  If you wouldn't mind breaking some of those lessons learned for us. Breaking it down.Afolabi 00:01:25  I'm going to, if I were to start all over again, I'm also going to weave some stories and past experiences into it. So when somebody goes into E-comm, you're starting your e-commerce or you're starting your Amazon business. Sometimes we forget the reason why we started in the first place. We forget the reason why we quit our jobs and we went into e-commerce. For me, my main driver was freedom. I wanted freedom, I wanted to be. I wanted to be able to control my time. I wanted to be able to be there for my family any day, any time. I wanted to be able to take off. If I want to take off, I want to take off, you know? Yeah. So you start this e-com business and you're married to it. You know, you're you're you're waking up 3 a.m. in the morning. You're, you know, you're sleeping late at night. So eventually it defeats the purpose of why you started in the first place.Afolabi 00:02:21  So we found ourselves caught up in all those things. You know, me and my business partner, we would fight each other. You know why? Why? You know why are we running out of stock? I'm like, I didn't know that product was going to run out of stock, you know? You know, we didn't have a good system in place and we didn't have the freedom or anything. So going back now, looking back to where we came from to now, there are three things I'm going to do differently this time. First, I'm going to innovate. Second, I'm going to automate. Third, I'm going to have a lot of free time to think. Because for me, I believe that thinking time is a very creative time. I believe that your rest time is very important. People ask me, you know, you know, jokingly, maybe I'm speaking to Norm, I mean, Norm. You know, there's my business partner on you. You know, he picks, you know, he picks up on me a lot.Afolabi 00:03:19  He's like, hey, I love you. What did you do this weekend? I'm like, no, I did nothing. I just sat on my couch and I was watching soccer all day. I was not doing nothing. You know, sometimes he calls me. I said, I'm going to stop disturbing me. I'm on the field with my son. We're playing soccer here. Please. You know. Yeah.Josh 00:03:41  So, yeah.Afolabi 00:03:42  Freedom. Time to spend time with your loved one is very important. So I'll make sure that this time I automate so that I can free up myself to do whatever I want whenever I wanted to do it. I don't want anything just pressuring me down all the time. Because when I'm thinking I'm creating things that are so valuable in my rest time. Yeah, I could be sitting on a lounge. I mean, on a on a on a recliner. And you, you know, you when you're relaxed, when your mind is at rest, you so many creative ideas come to you and you can look into your business and, and actually spot all the things you are doing wrong when you're in a relaxed mode, you know?Josh 00:04:26  Yeah.Josh 00:04:27  So you're you're kind of three takeaways then, right? If you were to restart would be to innovate, automate and then have more time for thinking and just downtime in general. Right. So...

In this episode of Masters of Moments, Jake Wurzak sits down with Ethan Orley to unpack his unconventional path into boutique hotel development and management. What started as a post-GFC leap of faith on a 28-room hotel in Knoxville evolved into a design-driven hospitality platform focused on secondary and tertiary markets. Ethan shares how creativity, operational intensity, and disciplined real estate underwriting intersect in his approach to building distinctive properties that stand out without overextending on risk.

In This Episode, You'll Discover: What "invisible work" is and why it keeps women busy but not profitable Why adding more to your offer can actually dilute its value The rule of "Revenue Before Refinement" How over-customising reduces scalability and margins The hidden cost of over-functioning for clients How to use a simple profitability filter before adding anything new You don't need to prove your value by exhausting yourself.

In This Episode Most companies attend trade shows hoping for leads. Samantha McGuiness builds systems that turn events into predictable appointment engines. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Samantha about how to structure face-to-face marketing so it consistently produces measurable results. Samantha explains that success at events is not about showing up. It is about hiring intentionally, training systematically, and following a repeatable qualification process. From recruitment scripts to booth engagement, everything must be deliberate. Adi and Samantha dive into common mistakes, including hiring out of desperation, asking ineffective opening questions, and staffing booths with the wrong roles. Samantha shares how a simple shift from asking "What brings you to the show?" to directly qualifying with targeted questions dramatically increases engagement and conversion. The conversation reinforces a systems-driven truth: event marketing should not be occasional or random. When built as a structured, year-round department with clear KPIs and defined ownership, it becomes one of the most profitable growth channels in a business.  

Today, I am joined by my friend, John McClain. He and I met at High Point last October and immediately connected.  John McClain is a multi-faceted leader in the interior design industry and proudly serves in his field as an interior designer, product designer, author, speaker, business coach, and podcast host. As the CEO and Creative Director of his internationally acclaimed award-winning interior design firm, John McClain Design, his interior design and home furnishings creations have been featured by numerous shelter publications and television networks including Elle Décor, Traditional Home, HGTV, CBS, and NBC. John is also a contributor to outlets such as Martha Stewart Living, Interior Design magazine, The Wall Street Journal, & House Beautiful. As a product designer, John has created distinctive home furnishings that have not only garnered awards but have made numerous television appearances in their own right. John's coffee table book, The Designer Within: A Professional Guide to A Well-Styled Home, features homes designed in his signature "Comfortable Chic" aesthetic alongside helpful design tips and processes. John has now taken his 15+ years of design business experience and launched an online education & business coaching program, The McClain Method where he instructs and coaches interior designers on best business practices. He continues these lessons on his popular podcast, The McClain Method. So in today's conversation, he and I dive into the real mechanics of running a design business, from the software we love and the ones we hate to the systems that actually support growth. We talk honestly about leadership, profitability, and why the right back-end structure can make or break a design studio. Today's episode is equal parts practical and refreshing, the kind of behind-the-scenes discussions that designers don't get to hear enough.

Two overlooked “levers” helped Kent Ritter scale past 1,000 multifamily units—and most operators have never even thought of them. One helps you keep tenant turnover low, slashes your CapEx costs by 30%, and keeps your cash flow flowing. The other allows you to build properties for cheaper, do less capital raising, and get on the local government's good side. Even if you've heard of these tactics, you probably haven't tried them. Today, Kent Ritter from Hudson Investing discusses two strategies most operators overlook: in-house property management and public-private partnerships (P3s). First, Kent gives one of the best arguments for self-managing your assets: it keeps tenants for longer, creates more durable cash flow, and has massively lowered his expenses. Plus, he shares a new AI tool that is speeding up leasing and keeping his staff costs near rock-bottom. Next, the $2,000,000+ benefit Kent's team is receiving from public-private partnerships (P3). These P3 partnerships allow him to build with less pushback, raise capital faster (and easier), and bring positive change to the cities he's investing in, further pushing up his property values. Insights from today's episode: The true cost of an average property manager and why Kent switched to in-house Receiving millions in incentives from local governments with public-private partnerships How to save 30%+ on your CapEx costs by simply putting your own people in place  Why your property isn't performing as well as you thought it would (you can fix this) Property management tech to use (and avoid) and a new AI tool Kent highly recommends  How to pinpoint the best public-private partnerships and which towns want you to build  — Connect with Kent on LinkedIn Invest with Hudson Investing Follow Kent on Instagram Ritter on Real Estate Podcast  EliseAI Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

Dahlia tuber sales can look like easy off-season income until you are staring at piles of tubers, shipping chaos, and spreadsheets everywhere. In this episode of the Six Figure Flower Farming Podcast, Jenny breaks down why tuber sales only become profitable when you treat them like a real product with clear margins, systems, and boundaries. She walks through how to decide if dahlia tuber sales even make sense for your farm, how to price with labor and shipping fully accounted for, and why cash flow is only helpful if it is not quietly draining your time and energy. From inventory tracking to batching shipments and setting up an efficient packing flow, this episode focuses on making dahlia tuber sales sustainable, efficient, and supportive of long term flower farm profitability rather than something that runs you into the ground.Join me at the Profitable Dahlia Summit March 3rd & 4th, 2026: Register HERE Find high quality dahlia tubers starting Tuesday March 24th, 2026: www.trademarksflowers.com Mentioned Episodes: Episode 15: How efficiencies on the farm can earn you more money Episode 39: How to implement systems (to get your time back and make more money) Episode 17: Simple ways to find and attract your ideal customer Did you enjoy this episode?

On this episode we talk about: How Seth accidentally turned podcasting into a full-time business Using podcasts to build trust and credibility (even without massive downloads) Why most podcasters struggle to monetize—and a better path forward Structuring service offers and pricing without racing to the bottom The future of podcasting: video, branding, and podcasts as a business asset Top 3 Takeaways: Podcasting creates a “transfer of trust.” When people see you show up with quality, they assume you bring that same standard to everything you do. Pricing clarity changes everything. Seth credits implementing ideas from Profit First as a major turning point in getting out of debt and building a sustainable business. Premium clients care more about results than price. Solving higher-level problems for established businesses beats competing on cost every time. Notable Quotes “People see you show up in a quality way, and they transfer that trust to everything else you do.” “If you want us to actually do it for you, it's going to be a premium—but we also have resources for every level.” “Podcasting isn't a quick customer-acquisition tool. It's a multi-channel brand that builds trust over years.” Connect with Seth Silvers: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethsilvers/ Website: storyon.co Blog: https://storyon.co/blog Travis Makes Money is made possible by HighLevel – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

Great clinician, anemic bank account? Let's identify the real reason you're stuck: you are pricing like a hobbyist. In this episode, I'll show you how offers, boundaries, overhead math, and a clear niche help you finally pay yourself without burning out or working 60-hour weeks. Inside this episode, I walk you through the five "financial anemia" culprits I see over and over in clinical practices, and the mindset shift that changes everything: people don't pay for functional medicine… they pay for outcomes. We'll talk about building a real offer (not just fee-for-service), reverse-engineering the monthly "nut" you have to crack, plugging time leaks with clean boundaries, and why becoming a specialist makes you a necessity (not a commodity). If you've ever thought, "I just can't charge that," this one's for you. Ready to address your biggest leak first?  Download the free Practice Vitals Checkup now.

Send in a question: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/askCheck out Say Yes to Desire: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/desireCheck out Sacred Systems: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/sacredIn this episode, I dive into the real, no-fluff story behind how I started creating digital and printable planners, journals, etc. It all began as a solution for my own life. I break down the difference between chasing market trends versus actually solving your own problems, and why that shift makes your work meaningful (and profitable). We also explore my money journey, from messy beginnings to learning about investing through resources like "The Simple Path to Wealth," and how changing my identity from “work harder” to “make my money work for me” unlocked freedom. The option to work less isn't a milestone you have to earn from years of suffering and "paying your dues". It's about healing, honoring yourself, and building systems that support real transformation.

Most flower farmers know how to grow beautiful bouquets but where things fall apart is pricing them in a way that actually supports a profitable, sustainable farm business. In this episode of the Six Figure Flower Farming Podcast, Jenny Marks walks through why “fair” pricing and competitor comparison often lead to undercharging, and why confidence in pricing comes from data, not gut feelings. She breaks down the real costs bouquet pricing must cover, including production, labor, overhead, and profit, and explains why separating emotion from math is essential if you want long term financial security on your flower farm. This episode is all about giving flower farmers a clear framework and a simple starting action step to price bouquets for profit without burning out or racing to the bottom.

Does summer feel like the season where you hold your breath, cross your fingers, and hope fall enrollment fixes everything?  For so many studio owners, summer looks busy. Camps are running, kids are in the building, but behind the scenes, cash flow feels unpredictable, margins feel thin, and there's a quiet anxiety that summer might actually be hurting the business instead of helping it.  In this episode of the Transform My Dance Studio Podcast, Olivia Mode-Cater is joined by Inner Circle coach and longtime studio owner Annie Leese to reframe summer completely. Annie shares how she stopped reacting to summer and started intentionally designing it, transforming what used to be a stressful season into a reliable, profitable part of her studio's year.  This conversation isn't about adding more programs or working longer hours. It's about meeting families where they actually are, making small strategic shifts, and building a summer structure that supports your studio year-round.  You'll hear:  Why summer often feels financially unstable even when camps are full  How Annie designed summer programs around real family needs  Why small, data-driven tweaks outperform full program overhauls  How flexibility, aftercare, and scheduling choices impact enrollment  What it takes to stop taking low enrollment personally and start responding strategically  How a thoughtful summer strategy can support both cash flow and freedom   If you've ever caught yourself saying "that doesn't work" when it comes to summer, this episode will challenge you to get curious and help you see what's actually possible.   Annie Leese is a seasoned studio owner and Inner Circle coach who has built an exceptional reputation in the dance industry. As the CEO and artistic director of Performing Arts Academy of Marin (PAM) in Mill Valley, California, she has turned her passion for dance and the performing arts into a thriving business that attracts students from all over the region.
