In this Tax Tuesday episode, Barley Bowler, CPA, and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle a diverse range of tax questions covering business structures, real estate investments, and tax optimization strategies. They demonstrate significant tax savings by comparing Schedule C sole proprietorship versus S Corporation structures, showing how proper business formation can save approximately $6,000 annually on just $50,000 of income. The hosts address healthcare deductions for S Corporation owners, explain the complexities of the self-employed limited partner exception, and dive deep into capital gains calculations and 1031 exchanges. They also cover tax lien investments, charitable boat donations, and probate avoidance strategies. With practical examples and real calculations, this episode provides actionable advice for entrepreneurs and real estate investors looking to minimize their tax burden while staying compliant with IRS regulations. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "What is the best way to reduce my income and my self-employment taxes? I'm single, a handyman/contractor with no dependents. I work solo, no employees." - Form S Corporation, pay reasonable wage, save on employment taxes. "I have an S-Corp LLC for my property management and business consulting activities. I'd like to provide my me and my spouse's healthcare through the LLC. What's the best way to go about this?" - S Corporation pays premiums, adds to W2, deducts on Schedule 1. "Self-employed limited partner exception. Please talk about this topic." - Very risky strategy; IRS cracking down; use S-Corporation instead. "How can one start a business, LLC or C-corp, and an ideal state of incorporation and hold those shares in a Roth IRA?" - Cannot own an operating business in Roth IRA; consider ROBS instead. "What types of taxes and tax reporting will be involved if I begin investing in tax liens?" - Interest income or property ownership; depending on the redemption outcome. "What are the rules for capital gains taxes on the sale of a house when the profits are used to pay cash on the next property?" - Sales price minus adjusted basis equals gain; cash use is irrelevant. "I am taking my primary home and turning it into a rental for one to two years. How do taxes work if you wanted to 1031 a portion of the gains?" - Take Section 121 exclusion first, then 1031 the remaining gain. "Under a 1031, taxpayers must select three possible real estate properties within 45 days. Can these selected properties be changed before the 180-day deadline?" - No changes allowed after 45 days; very strict timeline rules. "I have a boat to donate to charity. Is it true that I can make a $5,000 donation without having a certified appraiser?" - Yes, under $5,000 needs written acknowledgment, not certified appraisal. "What are the ways we can avoid probate?" - Living trust, joint ownership, beneficiary designations, lifetime gifting strategies Resources: Schedule Your Free Consultation https://andersonadvisors.com/strategy-session/?utm_source=capital-gains-rules-when-you-sell-a-home-and-buy-another&utm_medium=podcast Tax and Asset Protection Events https://andersonadvisors.com/real-estate-asset-protection-workshop-training/?utm_source=capital-gains-rules-when-you-sell-a-home-and-buy-another&utm_medium=podcast Anderson Advisors https://andersonadvisors.com/ Toby Mathis YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@TobyMathis Toby Mathis TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@tobymathisesq Clint Coons YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ClintCoons

CEO Amplify | Business Operations, Sustainable Growth Strategies, Small Business Leadership
Summer hits... and suddenly the pace shifts. Sales dip, inboxes quiet down, and that constant buzz of urgency starts to fade. For many small business owners, this feels unsettling. You might start wondering if something’s wrong or if the momentum is slipping away. But a seasonal slowdown isn’t a problem to solve. It’s an opportunity to strategically pause. Use this quiet time to do the work that gets ignored during busier months: check in on your business, refocus your priorities, and clean up your systems. When you use your downtime like a pro, you'll be ready when business picks back up.

Today, I'm excited to bring back a guest whose first episode was one of the most listened to of Season 1 and in May this year, it topped the charts again as the most streamed episode on Spotify.Loren Vandegrift is a partner at Business Exits and has brokered over $500 million worth of business sales in just the past five years. He's also no stranger to the founder journey himself... he previously built and led a couple of tech strategy consulting firms. But it was actually a bad experience selling his own company that motivated him to jump into the world of M&A, determined to give other entrepreneurs a better path than the one he faced.Full disclosure: Loren was my business broker when I sold my last company in 2020. Because that experience was so positive, we've kept in touch, and I'm lucky to now call him a friend. In this episode, we talk about how business brokering has changed in just the past year and a half, and what current trends buyers and sellers should be paying attention to.Subscribe on Apple Podcast , Spotify or YouTube.Let's connect!Subscribe to my newsletter: Time To Live: Thriving in Business and BeyondWebsite: https://www.annemcginty.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annemcgintyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/annemcgintyhost

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I sat down with Jeremy Miner, founder of 7th Level and one of the sharpest sales minds I've ever met. His sales framework isn't about hype or pressure. It's about getting prospects to lower their guard, open up, and actually sell themselves. In our discussion, we go deep into how to eliminate resistance during the sales process… Especially for high-ticket offers. Jeremy breaks down the psychology of selling, why old-school techniques don't work anymore, and how to ask the kind of questions that shift the dynamic completely. We even dive into why he named his company 7th Level… And the spiritual meaning behind it. In scripture, the number 7 is tied to completion and divine order. Jeremy believes true persuasion happens at that level: When you stop trying to push and instead help people come to their own inspired decisions. Whether you're taking calls, closing from stage, or building funnels that sell on autopilot, this conversation will completely reframe how you think about sales. Key Highlights: Why most sales resistance is triggered in the first few seconds of a call The neuroscience behind how people make buying decisions How to create disarming conversations that get prospects to sell themselves Jeremy's three-step question framework that takes people from curious to closed The big mistake most entrepreneurs make when pitching their offer Why selling should feel collaborative - not confrontational How to guide people to their own conclusions instead of pushing them to buy The one phrase that instantly lowers sales resistance on any call Jeremy's approach is like the opposite of everything you've been told about “hard closing.” It's subtle, strategic, and literally based on how Christ himself taught and persuaded when he was on earth… With questions! So cool! If you've ever struggled with sales, either for yourself or your team, you're going to want to listen to this one twice. This episode is packed with practical takeaways you can apply immediately to start closing more deals with less effort and more integrity. https://sellingonline.com/podcast https://clickfunnels.com/podcast Special thanks to our sponsors: NordVPN: EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal https://nordvpn.com/secrets Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

Should you email or call prospects? Which method is best for effectively reaching your clients? To find out, listen to my chat with Matt Tharp, the CEO of Hunter.io. He provides data and insights on why businesses should focus more on cold email than cold calling.Meet Matt TharpMatt might be perceived as biased towards email since he's the CEO of Hunter.io, but he was drawn to the company precisely because of its commitment to email.He enjoys working with fast-moving businesses that prioritize high velocity and product-led growth strategies. He believes this approach helps build a robust pipeline with marketing, while the sales motion supports and supplements that pipeline.Sales-driven models, heavily dependent on closing the next deal, can make it challenging for new sellers or businesses to find their footing. Relying solely on cold calling makes pipeline building particularly difficult, and the current business environment is only making cold calling harder.Matt shares his own experience as a decision-maker: if someone cold calls him unexpectedly, he's likely to get annoyed because it almost always interrupts something he's doing.Marketing Strategy for Email OutreachMatt and his team conducted research to determine which marketing strategy prospects prefer. The results showed that 61% prefer cold emails, while less than 10% prefer cold calling. He also found that individuals in the US prefer digital outreach 71% more than calling.To successfully begin email outreach, Matt suggests keeping two key things in mind:1. How you build and segment your email list.2. How you write your content.He advises against trying to reach everyone when building your list. Instead, personalize it and make it relevant to your target audience. Keep your audience segments under 100 contacts to help maintain message relevance.Subject Line TrendsTo create subject lines that generate clicks, Matt emphasizes the importance of addressing a problem the buyer is facing.It's better not to be overly playful. Instead, speak to a problem that prospects genuinely care about, and in the first one or two sentences, demonstrate that you are there to solve it. Then, explain how you will solve their problem. The final step involves adding a clear and easy call to action at the bottom of the email."Looking at current trends for business scaling investments, it's clear: phone calls are becoming less and less effective." - Matt Tharp.ResourcesIf you need help scaling your business with email outreach, consider Hunter.io (I highly recommend it).

This week on GTM Live, Carolyn sits down with Dave Boyce, Executive Chair at Winning by Design and longtime SaaS builder, to explore why GTM systems are breaking, and what modern companies must do differently to build for predictable, customer-centered growth.They dive into what Dave calls “the layers of sediment” that have built up over time, e.g. commissions, org design, reporting structures, and outdated dashboards, and why those legacy systems are misaligned with today's buying behavior.They also talk about the real challenges CROs are facing right now: Deals are harder to win, old tactics aren't working, and most GTM teams are stuck optimizing for the wrong outcomes.You'll hear practical examples of what high-performing companies like Atlassian are doing differently, the importance of empathy in system design, and why the CEO—not just Sales or Marketing—needs to own this transformation.Together, they unpack why most GTM strategies break down. And it's not because of effort, but because they lack system design.Key topics in this episode:The broken layers of GTM measurement, and why that era is overWhy commissions often reinforce short-term, self-interested behaviorWhy visibility across the full funnel/bowtie is essential for accountability and improvementThe "Andon Cord" concept from Toyota and what GTM can learn from itWhy the CEO must own GTM system design (and why FP&A is the ideal quarterback)What Atlassian does differently to align around the customer

Join Lisa and Laura for our new series Unshakable Identity. During these four weeks we look at four different aspects of our identity as women and the corresponding characteristics of our feminine genius. As daughter, it's sensitivity. As sister, it's generosity. As bride, it's receptivity. As mother, it's maternity. Our goal is that as we explore each of these, we will gain a better understanding of our true identity. Today, Lisa and Laura dive into what it means to be a sister. Being a good sister means we receive others wholly rather than through a narrow perspective. We give of ourselves generously. But what happens when comparison and jealousy creep in? Practically speaking, how do we kick competitiveness to the curb so that we can experience true sisterhood? Grab your sisters, tune in, and find out! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. 1 Corinthians 13:5: Love does not insist on its own way. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Genesis 29:17–18: Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful and lovely. Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.” Luke 1:39–56 Invite Him in with this episode's questions for reflection.

Guest: Matthew Freed Guest Bio: I've spent the last 20 years in sales and sales leadership, and I still find it incredibly rewarding. Most of that time has been in manufacturing and distribution, where I've had the opportunity to lead high-performing teams and work closely with customers. I currently lead a team across the Midwest and am passionate about building lasting culture, driving results, and simplifying the complicated. A big part of my leadership style is helping sellers achieve their goals while supporting them in becoming the best versions of themselves. I believe consistent habits lead to consistent outcomes, and I aim to lead with energy, clarity, and accountability. I enjoy helping people grow in their careers while building meaningful, long-term relationships with customers and colleagues. Outside of work, I still love to compete—whether it's on the basketball court or just a backyard game with friends. Most importantly, I enjoy time with my wife and our two daughters. Key Points: Career Journey & Sales Background His dad was in sales and eventually owned a business, which influenced him early. Matthew started with cold calling and door-to-door efforts, learning what real sales was versus the perception. Naturally gravitated toward leadership roles on teams; wanted to shift from individual sales to team success. Moved cities and took a risk to lead a sales team at a manufacturing company, eventually growing in responsibility and geography. He was introduced to Millcraft by a supplier contact and joined over 8 years ago; currently leads sales efforts after transitioning from operational responsibilities. Sales Philosophy & Simplifying Complexity Believes the sales team is his "customers" and supports them by removing obstacles and improving processes. Matthew uses what he calls a "Simplify the Complicated" Approach: · Sales fundamentals (know, like, trust) are still the core, despite evolving technology. · Use data and analytics to validate feelings and drive decisions. · Focus on what matters: simplify systems/processes to let sellers focus on selling. Challenges in Sales Leadership Reps often react emotionally, inventing stories about prospects. Ask clarifying questions, do a fact-finding mission, and use both data and instinct (e.g., the "sleep on it" approach). Helps reps stay grounded by focusing on facts and controllables rather than assumptions. CRM/ERP Adoption Success Successfully implemented a new ERP system that includes a CRM. Tailored the system to serve salespeople and their customers. Positioned CRM is used as a way to better serve customers and make smarter decisions. Gained buy-in by connecting usage to outcomes (e.g., customer satisfaction). Has most of his team (12 people) consistently using the CRM. Team Composition & Hiring A mix of new and long-tenured reps (some with 30–40+ years of experience). Has a team size of 12 sellers. What He Looks for in Hires is resourcefulness, values competitiveness, entrepreneurial spirit, and inquisitiveness. Matthew's screening methods are assignments before interviews, looking for how much effort candidates put into research, a sports background is a strong signal (discipline, competition), and relying heavily on referrals. Team Wins & New Business Growth - 150+ New Accounts Opened Focused efforts in specific industry segments (e.g., beverage, signage, apparel, nonprofits). Leverages repeatable success models: if one nonprofit buys certain items, others likely will too. Emphasizes selling similar things to similar customers vs. reinventing every sale. Segment-focused selling allows for scalable, repeatable growth strategies. Leadership Style & Values Clearly outlines what reps should expect from him and vice versa. Believes in accountability, honesty, and mutual respect. Sees his role as equipping and clearing the path for his team's success. Encourages feedback and builds relationships rooted in trust.
