In this episode of the Secret MENS Business podcast we speak to BEN MURDOCK about his role as a father, and how he helps other men to heal. BENS STORY: I wasn’t always passionate about men’s work. Until I experienced the power and love of being connected to good men and how this impacted my life. What it truly meant to have brothers and not just mates. 3 years ago, I stood on the scales and it read 95kgs. My body was a reflection of every area of my life. My marriage, my career, my mind and my overall health. A fellow brother took a stand for me and pulled me out of a deep hole. I knew there was only one way out - I had to take a stand for my life. I had to grow and heal the boy so the man could appear. I took MASSIVE action in every area of my life. I resurrected my marriage, lost 25kgs, started a new business and went on an incredible journey of healing, learning and growing my mind. I got really clear on who I truly am. You know, with out all the bull shit. I got clear on how I wanted to show up as a father, a husband and a man. I stepped into my masculine core and it was the most liberating feeling in the world. I ain’t gonna lie thou, it was fucking tough at times. There was some heavy days. Some days took every ounce of willpower to keep fighting for what I believed in. I became obsessed with how the human mind works and understanding human behaviour. So I embarked on a career in mindset coaching. Graduating as a master practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming. I found my purpose - to help men transform their lives. To breakthrough their bullshit, create an unshakeable mindset and step into their true masculine core. I now dedicate my life to serving you. Creating a generation of kings to your queens, hero’s to their children, sons to proud parents and leaders amongst men. If you’re a man and you can resonate with this story, if you feel you’ve lost your sense of being, of what it is to be a man, your not connected to your kids, wife, family or life in general - THEN IT’S TIME TO STEP UP BROTHER !!!

Even the fastest ship in the galaxy can’t outrun the past... THEN: It’s one of the galaxy’s most dangerous secrets: a mysterious transmitter with unknown power and a reward for its discovery that most could only dream of claiming. But those who fly the Millennium Falcon throughout its infamous history aren’t your average scoundrels. Not once, but twice, the crew of the Falcon tries to claim the elusive prize—first, Lando Calrissian and the droid L3-37 at the dawn of an ambitious career, and later, a young and hungry Han Solo with the help of his copilot, Chewbacca. But the device’s creator, the volatile criminal Fyzen Gor, isn’t interested in sharing. And Gor knows how to hold a grudge.... NOW: It’s been 10 years since the rebel hero Han Solo last encountered Fyzen Gor. After mounting a successful rebellion against the Empire and starting a family with an Alderaanian princess, Han hasn’t given much thought to the mad inventor. But when Lando turns up at Han’s doorstep in the middle of the night, it’s Fyzen’s assassins that he’s running from. And without Han’s help, Lando—and all life on Cloud City—will be annihilated. With the assistance of a young hotshot pilot, an Ewok slicer prodigy, the woman who might be the love of Lando’s life, and Han’s best and furriest friend, the two most notorious scoundrels in the New Republic are working together once more. They’ll have to journey across the stars—and into the past—before Gor uses the device’s power to reshape the galaxy. ABOUT THIS AUTHOR...

Hey, Heathens! Today we are going through Exodus and continuing our journey with Moses. This is the part where they are apparently wondering around for like 40 years, which has the proto-Jewish people pissed off. Moses leads them to the desert of Shure where they had been 3 days without water. Of course, it was 3 days because of phrophetic numbers and stuff. They had been all this time without water. So they started to complain. That's when Moses takes out his wood and chunks it into the water to make it sweet, well just to not as salty as his people were being. Then It goes through this whole explanation for the sabbath where god tells them to gather enough food the day before so they don't have to do any work on the next day. God has mana appear in the morning and quail in the evening. They travel some more and the Israelites bitching meter starts to overflow so they start bitching for more water. Granted they should be bitching but them bitching is their general demeanor. So god instructs Moses to strike the rock and produce water.

Webinars have been Trevor Turnbull’s only source of sales since 2010. He’s done hundreds of them over the years to sell his popular training programs like LinkedInfulence, a course that helps business owners and entrepreneurs leverage LinkedIn for lead gen. So, does he use live webinars or automated webinars to sell his products? Yes.   In this episode, Trevor shares the strategies and systems that make it possible to run his unique hybrid style combo of live and automated webinars as well as the valuable lessons, experiences, and observations that go along with 7 years of history.   Episode Discussions: Why webinars work so well in the business opportunity space The 3-minute pitch from a past SWW guest Joel’s used to increase conversions How webinars have evolved since 2010 - What worked then, what works now Hybrid approach: A sales mechanism for running both live and evergreen webinars Include this at the start of your evergreen webinar to build credibility and trust Why being transparent and building trust with your audience is so critical Why you should still run through your webinar with little to no audience How Trevor tested and refined his done-for-you offers using different price points Tweaks to improve your one-time offers A walkthrough of Trevor’s simple and effective lead magnets and webinar funnel Different price points and offers: What has and hasn’t worked over the last 2 years Crafting the perfect offer The power of the phone call Selling programs with vs without support groups Successfully building a support community around a program You don't need paid traffic to make webinars work! Tips on approaching LinkedIn groups for partner webinars and joint promotions   [3:28] Trevor's story: Worked in the pro sports industry and used LinkedIn to connect with people Connected with Lewis Howes and ran his sports recruiting website for years In 2010, sold LinkedIn course (how to get a job in sports) using webinars Now uses webinars to sell training programs that show people how to use and leverage LinkedIn for lead generation and conversion [6:41] How webinars have evolved since 2010: Then: It was easier to get people to attend because it was new and different. Then: You could go straight to a sales pitch. Now: People don't want to be pitched to. Now: The sales process is harder and there’s more competition. Now: Focus is on building trust, being honest and transparent about the work involved without giving false hope. [9:49] "What we've been seeing work really well is being transparent and upfront. We're actually making the offer within the first three minutes of the webinar."-JE [13:06] "People always think 'if I give the offer right away people are going to leave' and it doesn't happen because you're still going to give content."-JE [14:26] Trevor’s sales mechanism for running live and evergreen webinars: Does a combo of live and evergreen webinars each month. Everyone that downloads a lead magnet receives an invitation to a webinar. If the live webinar is within a week, Trevor's thank you page promotes the live webinar. Otherwise, registrants are directed to the evergreen webinar. [16:14] Trevor's evergreen setup: Uses EverWebinar Switched from GoToWebinar to Webinar Jam Opens with a 1-minute video that informs the audience the webinar is recorded His transparency maintains integrity and builds trust and credibility with his list. [18:57] Joel turns 100% of high-end done-for-you clients away who refuse to do any live webinars. [20:15] If no one shows up to your webinar, go through your normal routine anyway. "You'll figure out that one thing you should've said differently...because you've seen it, heard it and know the trigger of how to react to it the next time."-TT [21:10] Trevor’s advice if you're just getting started with webinars: Yes — absorb as much info as you can from smart guys like Joel and then stop learning, start implementing and adjust from there. [21:53] See how Trevor's simple lead magnets and webinar funnel works: 30daysalesmachine.com/checklist 30daysalesmachine.com /profile 30daysalesmachine.com /scripts [24:53] Tested offers: Program price point: started at one-time fee of $997 Tested: phone sales with a price point of $997 vs selling directly on a webinar for $497 straight to an order form Result: same amount of conversions Currently: focuses efforts on selling via webinar because it takes less time but still offers a phone call option (50% close rate) [28:30] Trevor's upsells: "Accelerator Package": one-time offer, done-for-you service (light & plus versions available). Price points vary from $997 - $6K per campaign.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0156 And It Will Be About What Is Your Construction Company Worth  Have you been in business as a construction contractor or specialty contractor for a while and now you are wondering what your construction company is worth?This question comes up early and often and perhaps you would like a bit of inside information that we share with our Outsourced Strategic Contractor Accounting Services Clients. Nothing Is Ever As Good Or As Bad As It First Appears If you are like most contractors you learned a trade, skill or craft and after a while you decided to go into business for yourself and make "The Big Bucks" and that was one of the happiest day of your life. I've heard It said that boat owners experience two of the happiest days in their lives; the day the bought their boat and the day they sold it.There are two answers to the question what is my construction contracting company worth.Accounting Value: Equity Which Is [Assets or What You Own] (Cash, Tools, Material, Loans The Company Made) - [Liabilities or What You Owe] Payables, Credit Card Balances) = [Equity or what is left Over].These numbers are found on your construction company Balance Sheet. See the example below and notice the highlighted line "Total Equity" This means as far as the accounting records are concerned: #1 If the owner collected all of the money owed to them [Accounts Receivable] and got the security deposit back.#2 Sold all of the vehicles, computers, office equipment, machinery and equipment [Fixed Assets] for the amount shown. #3 Paid all of the bills [Accounts Payable], [Credit Cards], [Other Current Liabilities], [Long Term Liabilities]. #4 There would be $305,616.56 in cash for the owner. The Real World:The true net worth of your construction contracting company is what someone else will pay you for it. There are 100's of factors that affect how much your construction company is worth and I have listed nine of them below:1.    Length Of Time In Business2.    Standard Financial Statements 3.    Net Income4.    Cash Flow5.    Number Of Customers Or Clients6.    New Customer Or Client Acquisition Strategy7.    Existing Customer Or Client Retention Strategy8.    Documented Operations Manuals9.    Unique Selling Proposition #1 Length of Time In Business - In general the longer your business has been around the better. Just know that everything changes rapidly so in most cases what occurred more than three years ago may not be as relevant.#2 Standard Financial Statements - There are number of ways to setup QuickBooks for Contractors it depends on what you want from them.Internal Financial Statements are what most bookkeeper’s setup which means they may add a lot of fluff and try to capture Work-In-Process (WIP) and Job Costing in the Chart of Accounts which is fine for your internal use but next to worthless for anyone outside your company.Tax Preparer Financial Statements are what most C.P.A.'s and Tax Preparers setup which means they keep the Chart of Accounts small as possible and mirror the annual tax return as close as possible. This helps them get the tax return done in the least amount of time and effort possible. It is next to worthless for you, the contractor and anyone else.Standard Financial Statements are what most bankers and investors like to see because the Chart of Accounts are setup in a way that makes it possible for them to understand the financial health and well-being of your Construction Company. Most banks subscribe to a service like The Risk Management Association (RMA) that allows them to input key data from your Financial Statements and returns a very in-depth analysis of your construction company. This means when a contractor gives their banker, investor or potential buyer anything but Standard Financial Statements they are "Shooting Themselves In The Foot With A Nail Gun".Our Contractor Bookkeeping System can provide you with Standard Financial Statements; unless you or your bookkeeper makes adjustments in the Chart of Accounts. You and your bookkeeper can make any adjustments in the Item lists and as long as they are linked to the correct account in the Chart of Accounts it will be O.K. A Bit Of History Helps With Understanding How RMA Can Affect You Personally The Robert Morris Club (RMA) was formed to help businesses and bankers exchange credit information. The RMA developed several tools among them was a system of Ratios that most lenders, creditors and all credit card companies use to separate the good companies from the bad in all industries. The RMA and other reports show where your contracting company stands in relation to other contracting companies serving similar geographic and demographic markets. Each major category, Sales, Cost of Goods Sold, Overhead, Other Expenses and Other Income are rated on a scale of top 25%, middle 50% and bottom 25%. Ideally all of the numbers on your Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet falls somewhere in the middle 50%. Whenever a contractor "forgets" to declare all of their income or "overstate their expenses" it will show up here like a red flag. Finally, a Z-Score (click here for explanation) is compiled which is a formula for predicting bankruptcy. Edward I. Altman published it in 1968. The formula may be used to predict the probability that a firm will go into bankruptcy within two years. Although not 100% accurate it is a useful tool, similar to a tape measure is not 100% accurate yet still useful.You apply for a loan, line of credit, bond, credit card or something similar and the lender asks for a copy of your Construction Company Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet. The lender or bonding agent logs into their RMA account and fills out electronic forms, answers questions about your construction company and inputs specific numbers taken directly from your construction company Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet.Any construction accountant worth his or her salt knows exactly how to setup QuickBooks correctly for your application to be presented in the most favorable light. If a contractor gives the banker, lender or bonding agent a set of financial reports that do not conform to the RMA requirements they may or may not try to extrapolate the numbers they need. In most cases, they will give you the "Thank you for applying" speech before giving you the "We will let you know as soon as we know anything" speech. The rotten shame is most of the time the lender knows the contractor and believes you are a good and decent person who is a valuable client and they know you will pay the loan back, on time, with all of the interest. The problem is most decisions are made based on software and the loan officer cannot violate the lenders policies. This is why sometimes a contractor with excellent credit cannot get a loan or line of credit and yet another contractor with only good credit can get financing at low interest rates, with low down payments and a long time to pay it back.#3 Net Income - Is your construction company earning enough money to pay you a decent salary which should be at least twice your highest paid employee and at least 10% net profit after all costs including Income Taxes. #4 Cash Flow - Is there enough cash in the bank or money market accounts to keep your company running for at least 60 days? And is your cash balance growing every year by at least 5%? #5 Number of Customers or Clients - Which do you have Customers or Clients click here to learn more? Quantity is not as important as quality. Having the right mix of quality customers or clients that provide a lot of top line sales and revenue is critical. #6 New Customer or Client Acquisition Strategy - A simple documented strategy outlining a profile of your best customer demographics and psychographics so you know who they are, where they are and how to attract them. #7 Existing Customer or Client Retention Strategy - A simple documented strategy outlining the changing needs of your customers and clients based upon the profile of your best customer demographics and psychographics so you know what they are going to want before they do and continually innovate your services to those wants, wishes and desires. #8 Documented Operations Manuals - Don't get trapped by the lazy way of training people by paying people to learn by experience or by sitting around the "Camp Fire", "Water Cooler", "Break-Room", or "Jobsite". In the end you will have total chaos because everybody will have a different way of doing everything and not amount of yelling, screaming, threats, punishment will be effective. In the end you will waste a lot of money that should have gone to bottom line profits. This can be avoided with documented operations manuals.#9 Unique Selling Proposition - What is the one thing you do best that makes you the most money is your Unique Selling Proposition. One of our Plumbing companies in the 1990's it was maintenance contracts for fast food restaurants. We made a lot of money by cleaning their drains and side sewers during their slow times instead of waiting until it was an emergency and fixing and replacing leaking faucets because we could schedule the work to be done by our crews during our slow time. These nine tips are only a fraction of what we have to offer and I want to close with a story: The River Of Construction Commerce Has Two Areas The Bad Area - Is where contractors without a Clear Business Strategy operate their Construction Company. Inside the rapids which are shallow, narrow, with boulders, trees and wrecked Construction Companies. It’s loud, rushing, churning like a Wild Roller Coaster with its violent ways which will exact a toll on even the strongest most determined contractor. In time it will wear them down to where they are dispirited and heartbroken or simply heart stopped and flat broke.The Good Area - Is deep and wide with a sandy bottom and meanders quietly and calmly. It is like riding a Peaceful Merry-Go-Round and those Construction Company owners can become wealthy.This Is Frank’s* Story - It started one day when the idea of owning his own Construction Company popped into Frank's head, grabbed his attention and said “Let’s do this!” That Particular Friday - In December the boss had just told Frank that he needed to increase his production. The very idea that his boss would suggest such a thing made Frank's blood pressure go up and Frank was angry about it all day! The Following Day - Frank's close friend Bob stopped by Frank’s house to visit and Frank mentioned the boss’s remarks.  Bob had been encouraging Frank start a Construction Company for years and before you know it Frank The Hot Dog Remodeler, Inc.** was born.With A Box Full Of Enthusiasm - And a pocket full of "Can-Do-Attitude" Frank launched his brand spanking new Construction Company into what looked like the Good Area of The River of Commerce. For a while everything went well. No boss breathing down his neck, no pesky customers to satisfy, no employees with unreasonable demands, no taxes due, nobody gives Frank any guff. He was a free man and life was good!Then It happened - Frank’s phone rang and it was Bob calling to suggest that perhaps Frank could come to his house and build a deck on the back side of his two story house.And So It Began - Frank had his first customer, the one who would help launch him on his journey down the river. Bob Said - "Hey Frank since you don't have any overhead you could do the job at a really, really low price. And in return I will have lots of parties to show off my new deck to all my friends and neighbors which will send lots of business to you!"Frank Spent Time Drawing Blueprints - For the new deck. Bob suggested another cost saving idea that he, Bob could pay for the material using Frank's discount at the local lumber yard.Frank Got The Building Permit - And the work started. Two weeks later it was finished and it looked great!Frank Was Embarrassed - To ask for money for his labor so he asked Bob to suggest a dollar amount.  Bob said since Frank was working for $20.00 an hour at his previous job that would be a fair price. Especially since Frank would get the entire $20.00 and no taxes taken out…what a deal!A Short While Later - Frank started getting lots of work at $20.00 an hour because he was a nice guy and didn't mark up the material like his old boss, the greedy no-good Remodel Contractor. Frank Was Generous - Because he provided the little bits of hardware like a few nails, screws, caulk, glue, tape, shims, wire-nuts, bolts, nuts and washers at no charge.Frank Was Just Entering - The white water rapids in the Bad Area of The River Of Construction Commerce and didn't even know it!Frank Needed - To bring in other trade contractors like plumbers and electricians to do things he was not skilled or licensed to do.Customers Told Frank - It was unfair for him to expect to be paid his $20.00 an hour for the time he spent calling trade contractors, scheduling jobsite visits to review the scope of work, gathering bids, reviewing them with the customer, scheduling the trade contractors and overseeing their work. The customers told Frank he wasn't doing any real work; it was a mini-vacation from swinging a hammer; they said with a grin and a smile.Then Frank Figured Out - His truck was part of the $20.00 an hour he was charging and that it cost money to buy fuel, oil changes, tires, tune-ups and other maintenance and that it needed to be replaced because it was in bad shape.Frank Suddenly Realized - His $20.00 an hour was paying for his truck expenses, cell phone, hand tools, equipment, maintenance, repairs, small supplies like a few nails, screws, caulk, glue, tape, shims, wire-nuts, bolts, nuts and washers and his time to schedule trade contractors. All those things that seemed unfair when his old boss charged his customers for them began to make sense in Frank's Mind and he began to understand why he needed a Business Strategy.The River Was Getting - Rough, loud and mean and the white caps were tossing his little Construction Company around like a rag doll caught in the mouth of an angry dog that had not been feed in three days!In Order To Make Money - And keep his Construction Company afloat he decided to hire some skilled labor and that is when he was just rounding the corner to the bad part of rapids on the river of construction commerce. Frank Found Out - Real fast that skilled construction workers don't work for less than $20.00 an hour plus benefits, vacation, retirement, health insurance, bonuses and everything else he used to ask his boss for back in the bad old days of being an employee.Things Had To Change Fast - So Frank raised his rates and lost all of his price conscious customers. Now Frank was in trouble and going over one of the many waterfalls in bad part of The River Of Construction Commerce. Fortunately Frank - Had a friend who was a trade contractor and referred him to someone who he knows, likes and trusts; The Contractors Accountant and Construction Business Coach who can help him develop his personalized Business Strategy. Randal Tossed A Lifeline - By offering Frank at No charge a one-hour consultation which he immediately grabbed and held onto it for dear life. Frank Became A client - And in time he changed how he saw the world and understood there is a Hall of Justice but there is no Hall of Fairness. And that it is up to every contractor to put as much thought and planning into their Business Strategy as they do into developing a set of drawings for a construction project if they want to have something more than owning a job that nobody wants to buy when they are ready to retire.Frank's Construction Company Coach - Helped him understand he had to choose between being RICH or RIGHT. Frank chose RICH and as a result his construction company **Frank The Hot Dog Remodeler, Inc. made him a very wealthy man.*Frank is not the contractors real name; it was changed to protect his privacy.**Frank The Hot Dog Remodeler, Inc. was used to protect the identity of the firm.
