Episode Summary: In this high-octane episode, John Kitchens, Jay Kinder, and Al Stasek are joined by Brent Gove, for a powerhouse conversation that throws it back to the early days, unpacks the current state of real estate, and challenges every agent to rise up. From legendary stories of 2010 open house energy to the hard truths about today's market correction, this episode is a wake-up call to get in the right rooms, master lead generation, and paddle for the wave that's building now. Brent Gove delivers pure fire—talking about energy, vision, and how frustration is the real precursor to breakthrough. You'll hear raw truths, real stats, and timeless principles that apply whether you're struggling to survive or ready to dominate. Key Takeaways: Success Leaves Clues:  The secret to breaking through isn't a secret—it's getting in the room with people playing bigger than you and doing what they do until it works. The Force of Average Is Real:  Every time you commit to a higher level, the universe tests you. Expect resistance. Push anyway. That's how transformation happens. Lead Gen or Die:  The #1 skill in real estate—bar none—is lead generation. If you're not mastering it, you're not going to make it through this market. Big Goals Drive Big Growth:  Brent shares how setting a goal to close 30 homes in a month—when he'd never done more than 7—led to him doubling his personal record. Real Market Talk:  77% of LOs didn't renew last year. Most agents are struggling. But the pruning is creating massive opportunity for those willing to step up now. Events and Energy Matter:  The biggest shifts come when you're around high-energy, high-belief people. From Build to Cabo to Cleveland—you need to show up.

Let's set the record straight: Revenue is not the goal. Profit is. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything—chasing more sales, more clients, more offers—but still coming up short on cash and clarity, this episode is your permission slip to pause, stop worrying about sales numbers alone and start focusing on what generates profit.  In today's episode, Danielle Hayden, reformed corporate CFO and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., dives into the 12 money truths that successful CEOs live by to grow smarter, more sustainable businesses not just bigger ones.  Key Takeaways:  Revenue ≠ Success: Profit is the real goal, not revenue. Chasing sales without watching expenses can leave your business cash-strapped and stressed. Focus on the bottom line.  (01:16 – 02:42) Align Your Personal & Business Finances: Your personal finances impact your business. Owner's draws and misaligned personal spending can drain your business's resources and future growth. (02:47 – 04:24) Money Goes Where Focus Flows: You don't need 3-4 revenue streams. The most successful CEOs stick to one core offering and master it before expanding. (04:24 – 05:51) Filter Your Advice Wisely: We love our friends and family, but unless someone has real experience running a business, their advice may do more harm than good. (05:51 – 06:47) Listen to Your Numbers: Your financials are trying to tell you something. Learn to read and review them regularly to help you avoid repeat mistakes and make smarter, future-focused decisions. (06:48 – 07:43) More Money Isn't Always the Fix: More capital won't fix a broken strategy. Think 2-3 times longer than you normally would before taking on debt or outside investors. (07:44 – 09:05) Spending is Investing: When aligned with your goals, every dollar spent should help your business grow or strengthen. (09:05 – 09:52) Permission to Say No: Saying yes to everything leads to burnout—successful CEOs protect their time and energy. (09:56 – 10:55) Emergency Funds are a Must: A “just in case” or rainy day fund can be the difference between panic and peace when the unexpected happens. You never know when a new opportunity will pop up! (10:56 – 11:52) Invest in Your Education: You don't have to do it all, but you do need to understand your business's financial health. (11:53 – 13:01) FOMO is a Distraction: This goes back to “money goes where focus flows”—stay grounded in your vision, not someone else's highlight reel. (13:01 – 14:10) Money is a Game—Play It Smart: Use your financial statements as tools to track your growth, not just your income. (14:12 – 14:50) ⭐Bonus Rule: When things get uncomfortable, lean in further. Successful CEOs step outside their comfort zones, because they know that's where the real growth happens.    Resources: Kickstart Accounting's CFO Services | kickstartaccountinginc.com/cfo  Kickstart Accounting's Tax Services | https://ksataxpartners.com/   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

In this crucial follow-up to our previous episode, Andrea Fredrickson and Michelle Hill provide actionable strategies to proactively navigate the growing pains of scaling your company beyond the 100-200 employee range.   Discover how intentionally codifying your company culture, redesigning your organizational structure and processes, and clearly defining roles and responsibilities can prevent things from falling through the cracks. Learn why empowering your leaders and building their capacity is essential for sustainable growth.    This episode offers a roadmap to move from reactive firefighting to a smoother, more controlled expansion, ensuring your business thrives instead of breaks.   Takeaways   Companies often struggle at 150 employees due to lack of systems. Proactive measures can ease the transition during growth. Culture defines how work gets done in an organization. Clear behaviors and values are essential for a strong culture.

Before you hire, launch, or invest, there's one number you need to know: your future break-even point. It's more than a “boring” accounting term; it's one of the most powerful tools you have in your toolkit as a business owner and CEO.  In this episode, Danielle Hayden, reformed corporate CFO and CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., flips the script on how entrepreneurs look at their break-even point by turning it from a financial checkmark into a forward-thinking strategy tool. She walks through how to use it as a launchpad for smarter decisions and puts you in control of your numbers.  Key Takeaways:  Break-Even as a Planning Tool: Knowing your break-even point helps you look forward, not backward, and make strategic choices with confidence.  Know Your Break-Even Before Big Decisions: Calculate how your expenses will change first and then what new revenue you'll need to cover them. Turn Your New Break-Even into Your Revenue Goal: Add a 10–15% profit margin to your break-even number to set a clear, sustainable monthly revenue target. Create a Margin of Safety: If you're not ready to make a leap, build savings in advance so you're financially prepared to take on new expenses with confidence. Numbers Beat Guesswork Every Time: Ditch the gut-based decisions and use this method to plan investments without fear or uncertainty. Topics Discussed: What is Break-Even Point in Business & How to Use It (00:50 – 01:57) How to Calculate Your New Break-Even Number (01:58 – 04:41) Real World Example of Calculating a New Break-Even (04:41 - 06:08) Saving for an Investment & Margin of Safety (06:08 - 07:11) Using Break-Even to Plan Your Next Business Move (07:11 - 08:35)   Related Episode: Ep. 222 | From Burnout to Balance: Redefining Entrepreneurial Success Through Break-Even Analysis with Delanie Fischer of Self-Helpless Podcast   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

In this deeply personal solo episode, Kehla shares the powerful shift that occurred when she hit pause on her usual business rhythm and chose to lead from her body instead of her calendar. After a whirlwind four months filled with grief, launches, illness, and international travel, she realized that even loving your work doesn't mean you're immune to burnout. Kehla explores how tools like Human Design, the Gene Keys (specifically Gene Key 52 in her Culture sphere and 48 in Attraction), PH360 Biotypes, Feng Shui, seasonal color analysis, Kibbe body types, and Kitchener essence have supported her in recalibrating her business and personal life. From honoring her Diplomat biotype and discovering she's a True Winter, to optimizing her sleep with TCM body clocks and transforming her office with energetic clear-outs—this episode is a masterclass in radical self-responsibility and energetic alignment. You'll will walk away with practical insights on how to shift from stress to restraint, stop gaslighting their natural rhythm, and use systems as tools—not rules—for a life and business that actually feels good.
