Episode Highlights 🌟

Having a Solid Financial Plan

One of the key lessons Arif learned was the importance of financial stability. He relied heavily on debt to grow his business. He advises aspiring business owners to have a solid financial plan and a war chest of capital to weather any unforeseen circumstances. 

Taking a Step Back

Arif admits that he led with his heart instead of his head, which led to emotional decision-making and an inability to make the necessary cuts when needed. Arif advises business owners to take a step back and make rational decisions, even if they are difficult.

Negotiating Leases and Contracts

Arif talks about learning the importance of seeking legal and practical advice when negotiating leases, as well as understanding the terms and conditions thoroughly.

Increasing Wages in Hospitality
One of the most significant challenges Arif faced was the increasing wages in the hospitality industry. While he acknowledges that staff deserve fair compensation, he also highlights the difficulty of sustaining a business when wages consume a significant portion of revenue. 

Key Takeaways 🔑

1. Financial stability is crucial for business success. Avoid relying heavily on debt and ensure you have a strong balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and cash flow.
2. Negotiating leases and supply agreements requires careful consideration and expert advice. Be aware of the terms and conditions and seek legal and practical guidance.
3. The hospitality industry faces challenges with rising wages and customer expectations. Business owners must find a balance between paying staff well and charging reasonable prices.
4. Taking care of your mental health and finding a work-life balance is essential for making rational decisions and being the best version of yourself in both personal and professional life.

Tom Ackerman is joined by John Mozeliak, the President of Baseball Operations for the Cardinals, as they discuss various aspects of the team's performance and future plans. They talk about the challenges of adding pitching, both in terms of risk and competition in the market. They also mention the importance of maintaining a strong bullpen and having depth to handle the demanding 162-game season.

There are so many stories out there about awful MILs and I think there is a stigma on future MILs.  I, personally, don’t want to be one of those stories! I wanna share what I think would make a good mother-in-law and other things that our kids can learn!

What You'll Hear In This Episode:

- Communication differences surrounding certain phrases, such as “I need time alone” and "we need to talk"

- Clarifying the meaning of commitment with each partner

- Asking specific questions to understand expectations and intentions

- Regular communication and clarification to avoid misunderstandings

- Importance of discussing expectations and desires for building a deeper connection

- Addressing potential issues and clarifying intentions early on

- Recognizing signs of a potential mismatch in commitment levels

- Importance of addressing concerns and desires to avoid future hurt and disappointment

- Men also need space for personal growth and processing, similar to women

- Seriousness for men may involve consistency and integrating each other into daily routines, not necessarily long-term plans

- Differences in views on moving in together

- Importance of open communication and taking time to be sure before making such big decisions

- Highlighting the need for communication and understanding differing perspectives in a relationship

Key quotes:

• "When most women tell a man they want to ‘take it slowly,’ they are saying they want to build a strong emotional foundation before having sex. They want deep meaningful conversations and to build the emotional intimacy first. For men, taking it slowly often means NOT having intimate talks that go too deep." – Lisa Shield
• “When a woman hears the phrase 'I need some space,' it can trigger catastrophic thinking and tap into her insecurities, causing her to question the stability of the relationship. On the other hand, for some men, being in a serious relationship may simply mean integrating each other into their daily routines and getting to know each other better, without necessarily signaling long-term plans or commitments." — Lisa Shield
• “It is good to have a conversation to clarify what you mean by certain phrases. You can say, ‘Hey, ________, I know that we said we're in a committed relationship, and I also know that being in a committed relationship, that word can have different meanings for different people. I would love to hear what it means for you.’” — Lisa Shield
