Is this something that I want to do full time all the time or is it something that I just wanna do sometimes?"   "Let's talk about different ways of approaching the financials of this business that are based in living our values rather than just ‘I made a beautiful abundance collage and the universe will take care of me'."   "The first step of budgeting is: what are my costs?"   "The budget will work for you if it works the way you work."   "If you're in a place where you can say I'm not gonna be too proud, all of a sudden now there's infinite opportunity."

It's time to take control of our money.   This week on the podcast, I'm talking with Shannon Simmons, a Profit First Professional, about developing systems for your business, why so many of us struggle with our finances, and taking a profit in your business.   Profit First has been a game-changer for me in my business, and Shannon shares how it could be for you, too.

Today we bring you Stephens & Smith's newest addition to the S&S family, Shannon Simmons. Shannon is a commercial truck driver with nearly 2 decades of experience. A mother of four, Shannon was first introduced to the industry with some influence from her grandfather, who was a diesel mechanic. She received her training for her CDL through a program at the YWCA called, “women’s employment in non-traditional occupations. She soon went to work as a Ready Mix Truck Driver for NEBCO inc.  After nearly 18 years as a ready mix truck driver, she made a tough decision to make the move to Stephens & Smith Construction Company…and we are fortunate she made the move.     Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce Shannon Simmons, welcome to the club.

Not every business has a smooth implementation of Profit First. At least that is Mike Manning's experience. He implemented Profit First for his gym and found it wasn't working so he dumped it and found that was working even worse, so he started with Profit First again. Follow Mike's formula to properly implementing Profit First once and for all.  

In this episode you’ll learn: What is “Profit First” and how it works How to ensure you are paying yourself! Why some people are operating from a deficit and don’t realize it Some of the biggest marketing mistakes people make Why it is important to allocate funds all year long to certain months where you plan on spending more How to utilize your bank account as a metric Why it is important to review your expenses and how that can bump your pay as a business owner

Profit First for Gyms and FitnessThis episode is a referral from Profit First Professionals (http://www.profitfirstprofessionals.com/)  and is here to help save gyms, fitness professionals and more. On This Episode You Will Hear:[spp-timestamp time="01:54"] How Shannon stumbled across helping Gym and Fitness centers with their accounting as a niche. [spp-timestamp time="04:27"] How Shannon made the transition into this niche. [spp-timestamp time="06:31"] Shannon was one of the first members of the P.F. Professionals. She had been doing Virtual Bookkeeping for ten years before the book came out. There were so many Entrepreneurs she wanted to help but with all the accounting jargon she knew Entrepreneurs would not relate. That is the biggest thing she likes about the system, is it was written by an Entrepreneur for an Entrepreneur, so they can relate. [spp-timestamp time="09:03"] You have to face reality and know where your business is, compared to where a healthy business is. [spp-timestamp time="11:24"] Mike recommends having at least five basic accounts, Shannon has identified three others for the fitness industry. This system works for personal life as well. Shannon uses an example of someone repaying $100,000 of debt off in 18 months by using this in their personal life. [spp-timestamp time="16:26"] Shannon recommends all Gym owners have an Equipment Account, even if you allocate a small amount to that account each month, it will compound by the end of the year so it can be used on new equipment. [spp-timestamp time="21:16"] This system is a proactive way to look at your finances. [spp-timestamp time="28:28"] Shannon recommends you should focus on creating the five accounts right from the beginning [spp-timestamp time="31:44"] There are three extra accounts Shannon has found that the fitness industry should have, one of them is the Equipment/Capital Expenses Account, [spp-timestamp time="33:06"] The point of Profit First is to get people to finally enjoy running their businesses, even if they are only paying themselves 2% profit, you are paying that right away. You don't distribute your profits from the profit account until the end of each quarter. Profit First Professionals call it the "Quarterly Profit Distribution". [spp-timestamp time="35:25"] You don't take money from your Profit account and put it back into your business. Your profit is there for you to enjoy your hard work, even if it is only 1-2%, especially for gyms! [spp-timestamp time="37:26"] The more money we have, the more money we spend. [spp-timestamp time="39:37"] There are people out there that have a decent handle on their finances but are missing the enjoyment piece. Living with the income instead of living ahead of the income. [spp-timestamp time="44:00"] Who is your best employee? The answer is YOU! You have to compensate yourself.

Finances and budgeting are significant and crucial parts of running a business. I'll admit, it is not my favorite part of being a business owner – but it is too important to ignore. In today's episode, I am joined by Shannon Lee Simmons, finance, and money management coach and founder of New School of Finance based in Canada. She shares her “rags to riches” story with us, her business model, and the services and products that her company offers.
