In this episode, Ray Sclafani introduces a critical metric that leading wealth management firms—and the private equity firms evaluating them—are using to assess the health and enterprise value of their businesses: the Rule of 40. Originally born in Silicon Valley to evaluate SaaS companies, this simple but powerful formula (Revenue Growth % + EBITDA Margin %) has crossed over into the RIA world and become a litmus test for intentional, sustainable growth.Ray breaks down:What the Rule of 40 really means in a recurring revenue business like an RIAHow to calculate it (with real examples from ClientWise client firms)Where it falls short if misusedHow the most forward-thinking advisory firms use it as a leadership, compensation, M&A, and strategy toolPlus, you'll get five coaching questions to spark powerful conversations with your team—and begin leading like a CEO, not just a lead advisor.Key TakeawaysThe Rule of 40 = Revenue Growth % + EBITDA Margin %, and if the total equals or exceeds 40, your firm is financially healthy.Many firms overestimate their growth by including capital market gains or acquired AUM—only organic growth tells the real story.Leading RIAs use the Rule of 40 not just as a metric, but as a strategic lens.Tracking Rule of 40 over time and by business segment (organic growth, next-gen, core team) uncovers the real levers driving enterprise value.If your growth is passive or your margin is inflated, the Rule of 40 exposes the imbalance and forces better leadership decisions.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.

Dr. Andre Perry brings a revolutionary approach to understanding Black economic power through his groundbreaking research at the Brookings Institution. Sharing his personal journey from being raised by a neighbor in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, to becoming a Senior Fellow at America's preeminent think tank, Perry offers a masterclass in how data can illuminate pathways to Black community thriving.The conversation centers around Perry's innovative Black Progress Index, which uses sophisticated machine learning algorithms to identify the factors that most significantly impact life expectancy in Black communities nationwide. What makes this approach revolutionary is Perry's deliberate choice to measure Black communities against other Black communities—not white ones—revealing "Black Blue Zones" where life expectancy exceeds statistical predictions.Perry's definition of power as "the ability to live your full life" cuts through symbolic victories to focus on tangible factors that extend and improve Black lives: homeownership, income levels, business ownership, and community composition. His research demonstrates that thriving Black communities exist across diverse political landscapes, challenging assumptions about where and how Black success can flourish.Perhaps most provocatively, Perry dismantles popular discourse around Black relationships by showing how structural factors shape personal outcomes. "Healthy communities build healthy relationships," he argues, redirecting energy from gender-based blame toward addressing systems that extract wealth and opportunity. His approach to reparations similarly focuses on practical, local-level initiatives, particularly around environmental justice issues where causation and harm are clearest.Throughout our discussion, Perry weaves together rigorous statistical analysis with cultural touchpoints and historical context, creating a compelling roadmap for Black community development. Rather than accepting DEI initiatives as end goals, he pushes for mainstream resource access and institutional reform. This conversation offers essential insights for anyone committed to understanding and advancing Black economic power in America today.Support the showhttps://www.patreon.com/c/EA_BookClub

In this episode of Building the Billion Dollar Business, Ray Sclafani explores one of the most underutilized but essential skills in financial advisory: the art of choosing clients wisely. Shifting from “more clients, more assets” to “right clients, sustainable growth,” Ray outlines how high-performing firms assess both behavioral and financial indicators to identify their next generation of A+ clients—even before they build wealth.He introduces a client selection framework that focuses on advice-receptivity, future potential, values alignment, and more—all geared toward improving enterprise value through predictable cash flow. Ray also offers coaching questions to help leaders train their teams, align their growth strategy, and build a firm designed for the future.Key TakeawaysStrategic firms focus on those who enhance predictable cash flow and align with long-term goals.Traits like curiosity, respect for process, and ambition signal a high-value client even before assets arrive.Scorecards, life-event triggers, and fee-based onboarding help firms assess clients strategically.When firms define who they're built to serve, growth strategies, referrals, and client experiences improve.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.

DMPs are learned. You fall back to what kept you “safe” before, even if it costs you now. Tunnel vision = trouble. Big emotions narrow attention and drive rash decisions. Scorecard sabotage is identity-level. Close to a breakthrough? Fear of success often fires a DMP. Awareness beats willpower. Map your trigger → emotion → belief → behavior sequence in writing. Key Quotes: “When a trigger hits, an emotion hijacks the steering wheel of your decision-making.” “Every DMP follows the same chain: trigger, emotion, belief, behavior—fast and unconscious.” “Your brain is built to survive, not thrive; safety is familiar, not optimal.” “On the course, you don't rise to your goals—you fall to your programs.” “Awareness without action is trivia; awareness with a plan is transformation.” “If you keep stopping what works right before the breakthrough, that's a DMP, not a discipline problem.” “Success is a choice—once you retire the programs that keep choosing safety.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Introduction to Irrational Behavior 02:53: Understanding Destructive Mindset Programs 05:36: Triggers and Emotional Responses 08:18: The Role of Learned Behavior 11:18: Relating Mindset to Golf and Poker 14:13: The Impact of Pressure and Expectations 16:55: Dismantling Destructive Mindset Programs 19:41: The Importance of Coaching 22:34: Conclusion and Future Directions

Story of the Week (DR):End of summer anti-woke bro rage brigade MMNew Cracker Barrel Logo Sparks Right-Wing Backlash—From Trump Jr. And MoreMAGA erupts over Cracker Barrel logo change, and stock plungesRight-Winger, Others Call Out 'Woke' New Change To Cracker Barrel's Peg GameThe goal of the game is to whittle down the number of pegs on the board to one through a series of “jumping” pegs, not unlike checkers. Previously, directions on the game explained that people who have only one peg left on the board are geniuses, while people with two pegs left are “pretty smart.” However, if you leave three pegs, the game considers you “dumb,” while anyone who leaves four pegs is an “EG-NO-RA-MOOOSE.”That was the old game. New peg games have removed the playful insults and instead say, “leave three or more ― no reason to be embarrassed. Try again.”Sean Davis, the CEO of The Federalist: Cracker Barrel didn't just destroy its logo and restaurant vibe. It also changed the peg game to make dumb people feel better when they do poorly.Until October 2017, The Federalist had a "black crime" tag, which aggregated articles related to criminal activity by African AmericansChristian College's Hot Take On Cracker Barrel Has People Saying, ‘Huh?'Hillsdale College in Michigan: A post on its official account on X (formerly Twitter) likened the updated logo to a vandalized statue of President George Washington that was defaced during the 2020 protests over the police killing of George Floyd.MAGA Rep Drags Jesus Christ Into ‘Woke' Cracker Barrel MeltdownCongressman Byron Donalds slammed the restaurant chain for daring to rebrand after he had a religious experience in one of its Florida parking lots: “In college, I worked at @CrackerBarrel in Tallahassee,” the Florida Republican wrote on X, “I even gave my life to Christ in their parking lot. Their logo was iconic and their unique restaurants were a fixture of American culture. No one asked for this woke rebrand.”‘Cracker barrel goes woke': CEO under MAGA fire for changing logo first time in 48 years, removes ‘white guy'Steak 'n Shake slams Cracker Barrel CEO for eliminating 'old-timer' from logo: 'We take pride in our history'“This is what happens when you have a board that does not respect their historical customers or their brand.At Steak n Shake, we have gone back to basics. Our tallow fries are waiting for you. Oh yeah, you can also now pay with Bitcoin!”Entrepreneur Sardar Biglari owns Steak ‘n ShakeOwns 9.3% of Cracker barreltook control of Steak 'n Shake in August 2008 after three years of declining same-store sales and losses of $100,000 per day.Biglari controls the Steak 'n Shake Company, First Guard Insurance, Abraxas Petroleum, Maxim, Southern Oil of Louisiana, Southern Pioneer Insurance and the Western Sizzlin' corporation. Biglari was born in Iran in 1977However the chain ran into more problems in 2016 and onward, with revenue declining sharply.In 2021, Steak N' Shake made a strategic decision to transition away from casual dining and become a fast food restaurant. Steak 'n Shake replaced lunch counters with self-serve kiosks in 2021 to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Changing the service model allowed a significant reduction of store staffIn 2024, Biglari fought and lost a proxy contest with Cracker Barrel, trying to get himself and two buddies on the CB board.This marks the sixth time since 2011 that Biglari has initiated a proxy contest seeking seats on the Board (the fourth time for Sardar Biglari personally), and the seventh contested solicitation overall during that span.POP QUIZ:Was that the original logo?No. The Cracker Barrel chain opened first in 1969 and had a text-only logo. In 1977, the famous logo with a man and a barrel was introduced.Is Cracker Barrel's new-ish CEO (11/23) a man or a woman?Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino and the new logo controversyMs. Masino previously served as the President, International of Taco Bell, a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) from January 2020 to June 2023. From January 2018 to December 2019, she served as President, North America of Taco Bell.“Cracker Barrel's new logo isn't an accident — it's CEO Julie Felss Masino's project. She scrapped a beloved American aesthetic and replaced it with sterile, soulless branding.”Benny Johnson said the logo change could cause the company to collapse in a similar way that Target and other stores that embraced DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) did.‘Go woke, you go broke:' Ohio faith leaders urge Kroger to abandon LGBTQ+ policiesTrump calls on Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to resignLisa DeNell Cook is an American economist who has served as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors since May 23, 2022.

Throughout the 1970s, Southern California residents were held in the grip of terror as multiple serial killers stalked the streets, preying on victims from every walk of life, including the area's gay community. From 1971 to 1983, Randy Kraft kidnapped, tortured, and murdered at least sixteen men and boys, but the real number of victims is believed to be considerably higher. When he was arrested in 1983, investigators searched Kraft's home and found a list with cryptic references to what they believed were sixty-one victims in total. The discovery of that list led the press to dub Kraft “The Scorecard Killer.”Following his arrest in 1983, Randy Kraft was tried and convicted of sixteen counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Although the arrest and trial put an end to Kraft's murder spree, several critical questions remain unanswered, including the most important aspect of the case detectives were never able to solve: who was Randy Kraft's accomplice?Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesArnold, Roxane, and Jerry Hicks. 1983.

This week on Better Business, Better Life, host Debra Chantry-Taylor tackles the trap of “smoking hopium”, when leaders rely on misleading metrics that give a false sense of security. From the all-green illusion of vanity measures to the always-red fantasy of unrealistic targets, Debra unpacks why both approaches damage trust, morale, and results. Through real-world stories and practical tools, she explains how to replace hopium with clarity: setting outcome-driven measurables, building scorecards that truly predict success, and fostering a culture where honest reds and greens are celebrated. Whether you're a visionary frustrated with slow progress or a leader striving for accountability, this episode will equip you to measure what matters, set achievable goals, and build momentum the right way, one honest metric at a time.    CONNECT WITH DEBRA:         ___________________________________________         ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: ⁠debra@businessaction.com.au ⁠ ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/       Episode 236 Chapters:   00:00 – Smoking Hopium: Introduction to Data Scorecards 02:57 – The All-Green Illusion: Measuring the Wrong Things 03:38 – The Always-Red Fantasy: Setting Realistic Targets 05:45 – Replacing Hopium with Clarity: Practical Steps 08:36 – The Importance of Numbers: Clarity, Behaviour, and Action  08:50 – Scorecard Measurables: Sales, Marketing, HR, and Finance27:44 – Building Trust in Numbers: Avoiding Manipulation 28:52 – Fixing a Broken Scorecard: A Seven-Step Reset 29:52 – The Five Leadership Abilities: Simplify, Delegate, Predict, Systemise, and Structure  32:10 – Systemise and Structure: Ensuring Consistency and Accountability 37:05 – Building a Culture of Truth: Celebrating Honest Results   38:22 – Call to Action: Auditing and Improving Scorecards

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Blueprint Podcast.   In this Hall of Fame episode, we sit down with one of our Property Entrepreneur Masterminders, Steve Hammond, Director of New Home Company, to explore his transformative journey over the past three years within the Property Entrepreneur community. From a business owner caught in the weeds to a strategic leader with a high-performing team, Steve shares how PE gave him the blueprint to “get out of the way” and let his business thrive.   Thanks to Property Entrepreneur, Steve gained clarity around building a world-class team, implementing national-level systems and processes, and learning to measure what truly matters. With the support of the community and framework, he has appointed a new Project Manager and Finance Manager, developed a full operations manual and SOPs, and introduced a Director's Dashboard that drives better planning and accountability through clear targets and KPIs.   Steve's mindset has shifted dramatically. He no longer sees himself as the hero who must do it all. Instead, he has embraced being a leader - one who delegates effectively, empowers the right people in the right seats, and communicates with confidence. These internal shifts have helped him overcome perfectionism, restructure his operations, and create a business that is designed for growth, sustainability, and freedom.   Throughout his journey, Steve and his company have been recognised both within PE and beyond. New Home Company was nominated for Networking Event of the Year, won Development of the Year, and Steve himself was voted Whitebox Mentee of the Year by fellow mentees—reflecting the high regard in which he's held by peers and partners alike.   Beyond business, Steve has made a significant impact in the charity space. As a top fundraiser for Get Up and Give Back, he personally raised over £20,000, while inspiring his network to raise tens of thousands more. His approach to fundraising mirrored his approach to business: focus on team spirit, gamify the process, and raise the standard. These efforts not only supported meaningful causes but also showcased the power of leadership, culture, and purpose.   Steve's advice to entrepreneurs is simple: if you're still stuck in the day-to-day, it's time to build a world-class team, implement scalable systems, and measure what matters. And most importantly—get out of your own way.   Success and failure are both very predictable.   I hope you enjoy.   This isn't a theory. It's a proven Blueprint.

In this week's episode of Better Business, Better Life, host Debra Chantry-Taylor dives into a challenge many visionaries face, having too many brilliant ideas and not enough follow-through. With energy and insight, she unpacks how constant pivots and unfinished projects can create chaos, overwhelm teams, and stall real progress. Debra shares how the right mix of focus, data, and discipline can turn that visionary energy into lasting results. She explores the power of committing to just 3–7 priorities per quarter, using an integrator to filter and execute ideas, and building a scorecard that predicts the health of your business, not just reports on the past. Through real-world success stories, including one business that boosted revenue by 20% while reducing workloads, Debra shows how less really can be more. She highlights practical tools like the Eisenhower matrix, clarity breaks, and leading indicators to help visionaries lead with confidence and reduce anxiety. If you've ever felt like your ideas are running ahead of your team or your sanity, this episode will show you how to channel your creativity, trust your data, and build a business that grows without the chaos. CONNECT WITH DEBRA:         ___________________________________________         ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: ⁠debra@businessaction.com.au ⁠ ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/       ____________________________________________          Episode 235 Chapters:    00:29 – Introduction 00:00 – Visionaries and Their Impact on Businesses   02:04 – The Visionary Trap and Whiplash Culture   03:11 – The Role of Data in Providing Freedom and Clarity   06:49 – Strategies for Managing Visionary Energy   10:39 – Implementing Idea Filters and Delegation   14:25 – Embracing Data and Scorecards for Growth

In this episode, Matt Brown and Dr. Andrew Vallo delve into the use and value of weekly scorecards in dental practices. They examine how monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) can drive greater accountability, transparency, and overall efficiency, particularly in multi-location operations. The discussion underscores the critical role of measurement in striving for excellence and addressing emotional resistance that can interfere with performance tracking. The hosts also point out how scorecards help establish a data-driven feedback loop, enabling dental teams to make more objective, informed decisions.

What is sarcopenia and why is this such an important topic for every woman over 40?  That is the topic of conversation today.  What is Sarcopoenia? Sarcopenia is to muscle what osteoporosis is to bone.  Significant loss of skeletal muscle mass and or muscle strength. Sarcopenia is tied to anabolic resistance in midlife women, making it harder to gain lean muscle growth or maintenance after 40. Older adults - both men and women - have to work harder to gain lean muscle mass.  Women have less overall body mass and muscle to begin with and more dramatic reductions in estrogen at menopause, than men experience loss of testosterone.  The key stimulus for muscle protein synthesis, will suffer more from loss of strength and mass if they aren't carefully offsetting it with planned and progressive resistance training.  For women, estrogen protects muscle and bone. We need and use testosterone which is the most abundant hormone in the female body - but it's the decline in estrogen that makes the difference in muscle preservation. What Contributes to Sarcopenia?  Malnutrition. Combined with sarcopenia, it's a predictor of all-cause mortality than sarcopenia alone.  The United States is one of the most overfed and undernourished countries in the world. We're not eating well enough to sustain health.  Sarcopenia is 100% avoidable.  How Do You Measure Sarcopenia? Strength Fat free mass and height Online calculators  There are physical tests or measures that include grip strength or calf circumference.  Women didn't measure or track their skeletal muscle mass decades ago to know where it was at peak. It's harder to say how much mass or strength you've lost.  The Surprising Statistics on What is Sarcopenia On average, muscle loss occurs 3-8% each decade starting at 30. That CAN accelerate during menopause transition. It isn't associated with loss of estrogen driving skeletal muscle protein synthesis down. It's the side effects of the decline of estrogen.  Not sleeping. Struggle exercising as hard or as long  Less support for your muscle from testosterone and growth hormone  Have cortisol, ghrelin and leptin hormone dysregulation that interferes with muscle and fat.
