It’s time to turn my attention toward executing the business plan I’ve been working on for the past 12 months. Hey everybody, welcome to the FINAL episode of SmallBiz Brainiac! Yes… I’m ending this podcast. That’s hard for me to say, actually. This has been a labor of love for me and I’ve learned so much from doing this. It was a bit scary starting off. If you go back to the first 100 episodes… I pretty much sucked. I think the content is solid but as a podcaster, I stink… still do. So, I’ve been thinking about ending the show for several weeks now, and I’ve finally decided that it’s time to turn my attention toward executing the business plan I’ve been working on for the past 12 months. When I started this show 17 months ago, I didn’t have a clear picture of how I would incorporate it into my business. In fact, I started it before I had my current business. At the time, I was in a role transition. I almost said career transition, and that’s kind of true except I’m still in the same industry, just a different role. In 2015 I decided to resign from my position as the Chief Operating Officer of a large and growing Professional Employer Organization called Vensure Employer Services. But after almost 23 years of being in the operations side of the business, I needed a change. There are a lot of reasons why I made the difficult decision, but I didn’t realize how much the job was a part of my identity until I was no longer the COO. Walking away from it was a mixture of emotions. After all, I co-founded the company with my Uncle back in 2004 and I was the CEO until July of 2012, when the new majority shareholder came in and took over that role, and I stepped into the COO role. Since then, the company has gone through a lot of changes, it has grown significantly, and is now a major league player in the PEO industry. I’m really proud to have been a part of the company’s success, and to have helped create something that is doing so well today. Even though I resigned from Vensure, I’m still working with Vensure. I now own an insurance agency. But this isn’t your traditional insurance agency, it’s more like a business advisory firm. I’m on a mission to use my two and a half decades of business operations, accounting, insurance, HR, payroll, and risk management expertise; and my newly acquired marketing skills, which includes my ClickFunnels Certified Partner status, to make small business owners’ insurance premiums go further, to get more services… and better service, without spending any more than they already do. And Vensure is a big part of how I do that. But let me get back to the point… which is when I started this podcast, my next step wasn’t clear. The origins of it actually go back to 2014. Fortunatly, I now have a clear vision of my path, and this podcast, SmallBiz Brainiac, isn’t the right fit. And so, it will be replaced with a new show later this year. One that will be perfectly aligned with where I’m going. If you want to get an email announcing the launch of the new show, go to smallbizbrainiac.com and sign up for the brainwave newsletter, and you’ll be the first to hear about it. So, thank you, thank you, thank you, for listening. I hope you’ve learned a few things from this podcast. The one lesson I’d like you to take away is that you should hire a PEO to help you not just survive as an employer, but to thrive as one. You shouldn’t go at it alone. It’s too dangerous out there. Everyone wants a piece of you…the regulators, politicians, competitors, lawyers and leeches. A PEO is like your suit of armor. It will help protect you as you head into battle.

Even though Form I-9 revisions seem insignificant, failure to comply can result in fines. Today we’re going to focus on some changes that have recently been made to the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 by the U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services. Overview of Form I-9: The Form I-9 has been in use since 1986 for the purpose of verifying the identity and work authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States. This was all made possible by the passing of the Immigration Reform & Control Act. All U.S. employers must ensure proper completion of Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. This includes citizens and non-citizens. Both employees and employers must complete the form. An employee must attest to his or her employment authorization. The employee must also present their employer with acceptable documentation confirming their identity and authorization to be employed in the United States. The employer then must review the employment eligibility and identity documents presented to them by the employee to determine whether the documents appear to be authentic. The employer should then record the document information on the Form I-9. The list of acceptable documents is located on the last page of the form. The employee can present a single item from List A, or present one item from each of List B and List C. Employers must retain Form I-9 and make it available for inspection or audit by authorized government officials. Revisions to the Form I-9 is nothing new. The form has been modified numerous times over the years. These most recent revisions were just published this week so this information is hot off the press! Employers may continue to use the prior version of Form I-9 showing a version date of 11/14/16 N until September 17, 2017. After this date however, employers must start using the most recent version just released showing a date of 7/17/17 N. There’s no need to wait until the last minute in September though. The new form is available now and you can get it by going to USCIS.gov and downloading the Form I-9. Changes to Form I-9: So what has changed? First, off let me just mention that here at SmallBiz Brainiac, we just love the topic of employment eligibility and the I-9. We love it so much that we have recorded numerous episodes previously regarding the Form I-9 process. Please don’t hesitate to go back and listen to episodes 31, 76, 120, 129 for more information about the I-9 process. Now, focusing on the newest revisions to the Form I-9, what has changed? The changes to this version of the I-9 for the most part are just minor changes: The new form will modify the forms instructions to remove the phrase “the end of” when describing the day on which Form I-9 completion is required. It now reads: “Employees must complete and sign Section 1 of Form I-9 no later than the first day of employment” instead of reading “no later than the end of the first day of employment.” So there you can see that “the end of” has been removed. A revision to the name of The Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices. That name has been changed in the I-9 instructions to reflect the new name, Immigrant and Employee Rights Section. This change is...

I’ve decided to make some changes to the SmallBiz Brainiac show.  My last episode was on December 15th and I told you that I was going to take the next two weeks off to plan for 2017.   And that’s what I did. I also took my daughter and nieces to see the movie Sing.…

Would you like to be more savvy about the best type of structure for your business? Or are you unsure about whether someone doing work for you is an employee or an independent contractor? If so, listen in to today's episode of Tailgate Entertainer with Alan Bruess, as he talks business with his knowledgeable guest, Thomas Rock Lindsay.   Thomas owns a company called Humanly HR. He has more than twenty years of experience working in a PEO (Professional Employer Organization), focusing on all aspects of workers compensation, risk management, loss control, employee benefits, HR and payroll. He also hosts a podcast called SmallBiz Brainiac. Thomas is a valuable resource you can turn to if you're trying to solve problems related to your business.     On today's show, Thomas will share about three topics which come up all the time in the fair industry:    Is someone an employee or a private contractor? Is your business structured properly for your needs? (i.e. sole proprietorship or incorporated) Business Insurance. Today, Alan and Thomas discuss: The huge fines levied by the IRS for treating an employee as a private contractor and how you can avoid this happening to you. How insurance and licensing play into the IRS's decision to fine or not. What could happen if someone is injured on the job while working as an independent contractor, without licensing or insurance? A test you can take to tell the difference between an employee and a private contractor- and where you would go to do that. Your exposure to liability due to your choice of business model- whether you should incorporate or not. The differences between an LLC, an S Corp and a C Corp. Where you can go to learn more about business structures. Partnerships in business- a good idea or not? How to know where to start with business insurance.   Links:   Thomas's website: www.smallbizbrainiac.com   Thomas's email:    tom@smallbizbrainiac.com   Alan's email:         tailgateentertainer@gmail.com   Resources:   Thomas's Podcasts: SmallBiz Brainiac (Note: Episodes 3 & 4 deal with the test relating to employee or private contractor) The Khan Academy: www.khanacademy.org

As an entrepreneur, you might feel you're known known for your resilience. But sometimes you just need to face the facts and move on. Today's guest, Thomas Lindsay, is CEO of Humanly HR and the host of the podcast Smallbiz Brainiac. He also has nearly a quarter century of experience in the insurance and professional employer organization (PEO) industries. From 1992 to 2002, Thomas worked for his uncle's PEO as chief operating officer. He helped the company grow to manage more than $400 million in client payroll. Sadly, the company couldn't get a worker's compensation policy to secure all that payroll in 2002 when the insurance industry fell to its knees after 9/11. “The market was hardening,” Thomas tells me in this episode. “Nobody could take the risk. Our premium was too big!” Thomas, his uncle and the rest of the company worked in a mad scramble to secure their position. Potential deals, arose only to fall through – some spectacularly. (You need to hear this story!) Get the facts. Filter the facts. Face the facts. They can't eat you. @smallbizbrain via @RustyLionAcad LINK (Tweet this!) Facts can't eat you, as Thomas says, but you may occasionally have to come face to face with some hard ones. Thomas and his uncle eventually had to face the facts – and shut down their formerly prosperous business. Hear details in this episode about what that looked like, how it affected them, and – more importantly – how they rose from the ashes. Click play to start. Listen to this episode to hear me speak with Thomas Lindsay, founder and CEO of Humanly HR, about facing the facts and more: Moving from thinking small to thinking big. Learning (the right way) from an embezzling father who steals your identity. Using the golden rule (for great profit) in business. Why separating your personal life and business life could work well for you. What you need to do to start making progress in your life. (HINT: We won't lie about this.) Why you shouldn't care what other people think of you.

Most influential lesson learned from a mentor "Be tenacious and don't give up."   Final Round – “Breaking Down the Recipe for Success” What systems would you go back and put into place sooner?
