In today's episode of Purposeful Profit, I'm helping answer one of the most common questions I get from business owners:  

"Should I be an S corp or an LLC?"

And the answer is, they really are not mutually exclusive. 

You can be an LLC as a legal form AND still elect S corp status. And doing so, can generate significant tax savings under the right circumstances. 

Join me for this week's episode of Purposeful Profit where I'm exploring LLC and S corp tax treatment and when an S corp makes sense (and why talking to your tax advisor is so important). 

You'll learn:

• The difference between LLC and s corp tax treatment
• When to consider an S corp election
• How and when to file for S corp election

• S Corp Tax Calculator

The best bookkeeping system for your business is the one you'll use.

A system, no matter how full featured, that you don't use, isn't any better than no system.

So if you don't have a system or you aren't using the system you have and are overwhelmed by the idea of using QBO or adding the cost, you are who Simple Financials was designed to serve.

Alex Mitchell is an integrative hypnotist and business coach. She'd been running her business like many coaches or business owners do: without paying attention to her finances and just waiting until tax season. Her system was a shoebox. She felt the need to start treating her business like a business - enter Simple Financials.

In this episode of Purposeful Profit, you'll hear how Alex using the Simple Financials bookkeeping template to get control over her finances and in the process, change how she thought about her numbers and how hypnosis can help you in your business.

There is one thing that absolutely every business needs: bookkeeping.

You need it not just to report taxes properly, but to understand the finances of your business.

Selecting your bookkeeping system is one of the earliest decisions you'll make in your business.

But, let's face it, you are not an accountant and may not know what you need or understand your options. And selecting a system with those is like throwing darts blindfolded. Not every business has the same needs.

In this week's episode of Purposeful Profit, I'm going to take the blindfold off and help you figure out the best system for YOUR business (or evaluate whether your current system is the right one).

You'll learn:
- The primary purpose of a bookkeeping system
- The difference between single and double entry accounting (and why you care)
- The major bookkeeping options in each category and advantages and disadvantages of each

In this podcast episode, Julie interviews Rachel Withers, a business strategist, serial entrepreneur, and public speaker. Rachel shares her journey from being a classical ballet dancer to becoming a successful entrepreneur. She discusses the importance of mindset in achieving success, the value of accountability and responsibility, and the power of connections and networking. Rachel also talks about her books "Dream Passion Reality" and "Don't Wait in Your Wings," which encourage people to pursue their dreams. The episode concludes with a mutual expression of admiration and gratitude between the host and Rachel.

Here are some key takeaways from the enlightening conversation:

1. The Hero's Journey: Rachel's journey from a classical ballet dancer to a successful entrepreneur is nothing short of inspiring. She shared how she found her voice in a male-dominated industry and is now helping other women do the same.
2. Mindset Matters: Rachel emphasized the importance of mindset in achieving success. She shared insights from her book "Dream Passion Reality" and her co-authored work "Don't Wait in Your Wings," both of which encourage individuals to pursue their dreams fearlessly.
3. Accountability and Responsibility: Rachel believes in the power of owning your mistakes and learning from them. She stressed that while having an accountability partner is beneficial, personal growth and success ultimately depend on taking responsibility for your own actions.
4. Morning Routines: We discussed our morning routines and the importance of making them personal. Rachel starts her day with gratitude, a walk with her dogs, and some motivational content.
5. The Power of Connections: Rachel highlighted the importance of surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals for support and growth. She encourages female entrepreneurs to seek out mentors and build strong networks.

Making more profit in your business and more money in your life doesn't start with your numbers. Or your strategies. It starts between your ears with your mindset.

The money stories we tell ourselves directly impact our ability to build profitable businesses and create wealth and money in our lives. These stories, many of which we accept as fact, are really just thoughts and beliefs we keep repeating to ourselves. They've been framed by our lifetime experiences, upbringing, and societal messages.

And buried in these thoughts are our limiting beliefs about money. And those limiting beliefs hold us back in our business daily. By getting in touch with our stories and deciding what we want to keep and what we want to let go, we can directly impact our ability to create more profit and money.

Join me for this week's episode and I talk about where our money stories come from, how to find our money stories and 4 questions to ask ourselves about our stories.

When you hang out with entrepreneurs with a vision for their business, there’s one thing you’re bound to hear them talking about: scaling

But there’s a word missing from almost every discussion: PROFIT

And profit, not revenue, is the real point of scaling. But for various reasons, all the conversation about scaling centers around revenue. And this is resulting in businesses scaling prematurely and building outsized businesses as they scale, rather than building efficient, profitable businesses. 

Join me this week's episode where I'm up on my profit soapbox again, this time talking about it relative to scaling. 

Have a listen and you'll learn:

• The revenue trap that business owners ready to grow their business fall into
• What scaling means in financial terms
• The things to do BEFORE you start scaling so you set yourself up for success
