    Podcast - Space-Out – Increase Your Home Office Productivity

    Many of today’s home-based entrepreneurs put so much of their time and effort into building and maintaining their company that they overlook one crucial business detail: the actual office space they work in. Added to that, with the pandemic driving many employees—some for the first time—to a work-from-home situation, there are many households with more than one person working from home; creating more need for workspace in the home than ever before.

    This all begs the question: “How can your home office space increase your productivity and actually allow you to work better?” To answer this, Richard “Cap’t” Henderson interviews Dave Adams, Vice President at BDI (https://Bdiusa.com), a leading manufacturer of contemporary, design-focused furniture for home office and entertainment spaces. Episode Sponsor: Pipeline Paychecks * http://PipelinePaychecks.com

    Items discussed in podcast include:
    How Dave Adams developed his passion for office organization
    Why has a home office become more important than ever?
    What are some of the significant changes in office furniture since the pandemic hit?
    How has the transition to working from home for so many new home-workers affected how we build a home office space?
    What are some of the key things to consider for a new office or office make-over?
    How do you factor in ergonomics when buying office furniture?
    How do you create a professional virtual office for interactions via Zoom or another online meeting platform?

    Negotiating Sucks - Getting Everyone What They Really Want

    Negotiating Sucks - Getting Everyone What They Really Want

    Most people “suck” at negotiations–even if they think they don’t; says today’s podcast guest. Negotiation is all about handling emotions in the moment, and how you’re used to handling your emotions is why you probably suck at negotiating. You can be an experienced negotiator because you’ve done it many times or a lucky negotiator who has managed to come out on top more often than not. But none of those things help you navigate the minefield of emotions—which means that when those emotions come up in a negotiation, you’re unprepared to handle them.

    Richard “Capt’n” Henderson and Shelby interview Gaëtan Pellerin (NavigatesGroup.com), who argues that negotiation isn’t about skills or knowledge, but about being able to perform under stress, while you’re experiencing emotions. Gaëtan Pellerin is the author of Mindful NEGOtiation: Becoming More Aware in the Moment, Conquering your Ego and Getting Everyone What They Really Want.

    Subjects discussed in podcast include:

    • What made Gaëtan Pellerin want to write a book on Mindful Negotiations?
    • Why negotiation is more about Ego
    • What are the four biggest myths of negotiation?
    • what are four simple steps to close more negotiation deals?
    • When negotiating, how do you become more aware in the Moment, and conquer your ego?
    • How do you get everyone what they really want?
    • How can we obtain that ever-elusive goal of a win-win negotiation?

    Quick Cash – Pros & Cons in Using a Business Credit Card

    Quick Cash – Pros & Cons in Using a Business Credit Card

    It’s no secret that cash flow is what keeps a business running. Ideally, businesses will have enough money coming in to keep the wheels turning. But that doesn’t always happen. When revenues and expenses don’t quite line up, like economic difficulties or when a business opportunity arises, business owners need to be able to access credit right away to handle these costs. This is why many entrepreneurs have small business credit cards. But using a business credit card requires using them smartly, or you can quickly get buried.

    To help us navigate the hazardous shoal waters of a business credit card, Richard “Capt’n” Henderson interviews Sue Tse, Manager of Tax & Advisory Services for 1-800Accountant (https://1800accountant.com). Sue is also one of those feared MBA’s!

    • Why should you open a small business credit card?
    • What are some hazards to look out for when using a credit card?

    • Recommendations on applying for a credit card?
