Through Christ, you can be more than a conqueror over anxiety, discouragement, fears of the future, or depression. It’s a good lesson to remember during Disability Awareness Month.

It's Blue Monday!

Today, launch day, is "the most depressing day of the year." That being the case, I feel like a wellness check is needed: so how are you doing? Are you weathering January okay? If you are, I want you to see how much you've overcome to feel that way! And if not, there are real reasons for that which affect a lot of people. You are not alone.

But we can make a plan, a great plan. We can do such a few specific things and create results this year that have alluded us in years past. Are you up for that? We first have to look at all of the junk that tries to make us blue. Then we can talk about how to use that, work through it, and find a different kind of blue: calm and chill!

2024 Fitness Reset: Avoid These 5 Common Mistakes

In this "must listen" episode of FitMitTuro Fitness Podcast, me (Turo Virta), talk about the common pitfalls of setting and pursuing fitness goals as we head into 2024. Drawing from my own personal health journey and years of coaching experience, I provide invaluable insights into how to adapt and set realistic fitness goals for long-term success.

Key Highlights of the Episode:

Adapting Fitness Goals with Age: I talk the importance of evolving fitness goals to focus on sustainable habits and performance-based objectives, such as strength and cardio training.
The Pitfall of Unrealistic Timelines: I address the common mistake of setting unrealistic timelines for weight loss, advocating instead for periodization and focusing on one goal at a time to avoid confusion and frustration.
Beyond Weight Loss: I also challenge the overemphasis on weight as a sole measure of fitness success and encourage simple, action-based goals for lasting weight maintenance.
Consistency Over Perfection: Emphasizing the importance of consistency, I advise setting achievable goals, even on bad days, to build confidence and maintain motivation.
The Role of Accountability: I underscore the significance of tracking progress and the power of external accountability in achieving fitness goals.
Celebrating Personal Wins: I share my personal experiences with social media and the importance of acknowledging personal achievements to stay motivated and focused.

So what you say?

I invite you to join our upcoming 8-week challenge, starting in January 8th, where I will create personalized plan and hold you accountable so you can finally stay consistent and work towards your goals in a sustainable way.

Predictions for 2024

Welcome back to Business Unfiltered with Mercer and Jeff Sauer today's topic is Predictions for 2024 0:00: 2024 predictions for business owners. Jeff and Mercer discuss macroeconomic trends and patterns for 2024, with a focus on navigating through them as business owners. 2:03: The state of the economy in 2023 and 2024. Economic challenges continued into 2023, with layoffs, cutbacks, and decreased consumer spending. Despite pessimism, there is hope for 2024, with potential signs of economic recovery. Mercer predicts a slightly flat to slightly down economy, with consumers continuing to go into debt but still manageable. He believes larger companies are taking steps to prepare for a potential economic downturn. 6:07: Economic recovery and potential avoidance of recession. Jeff believes the economy will turn around in the second half of 2024, potentially avoiding a recession, as businesses are more bullish now and consumers never really led the recession. He thinks it takes a year for something to correct itself, so by the second half of next year, the economy could be back to normal, like pre-2019. 8:09: Macroeconomic impact of rising interest rates on businesses and consumers. Jeff expresses concern about the current expensive money environment, predicting it will negatively impact businesses and consumers if interest rates continue to rise. He believes businesses will invest if interest rates stay low or decrease, but if rates continue to rise, it could lead to a year or six months of waiting for the impact to reach consumers. Mercer believes that people will adjust to higher interest rates as they become more normalized. He predicts a rise in micro and nano businesses due to AI-driven entrepreneurship. They agree that existing companies will prioritize profitability in 2023, with management taking a more active role in decision-making. 13:08: Acclimating to a new economic normal. Jeff discusses the concept of acclimation in business, explaining how it involves adapting to new conditions and making long-term decisions despite short-term challenges. He shares his personal experience of building a company during difficult economic conditions, which has helped him develop resilience and a long-term perspective. 15:49: Business strategies in a post-AI world. Businesses need to think long-term, making strategic moves like chess, not checkers, to adapt to market changes. Expect consolidation in AI and automation, with more features being integrated into existing platforms, and less emphasis on individual companies. Jeff predicts that AI will consolidate roles and companies, leading to pivots and new business models. AI will lower the floor on what tasks are valuable, making some people no longer valuable. He advises agencies to embrace AI as a cost-saving measure and pivot their business models to stay relevant. 21:02: AI trends in 2024, including personal AI, data privacy, and digital marketing automation. Jeff predicts AI will replace low-level writers and intern positions in the industry, leading to cost savings and new business models. Mercer agrees that AI will enable pivoting to more valuable positions and management tasks once it can ingest the right data set. AI will be incorporated into digital marketing platforms for analysis and decision-making. Jeff believes manual effort should be prioritized before automation in digital marketing campaigns. 25:13: AI's impact on workforce and data organization. Jeff predicts AI will reduce the need for a workforce in certain positions by 20% in 2024, with integration between tools being key. Mercer agrees, stating that AI will make things more efficient and replace people through attrition, allowing management to introduce AI solutions seamlessly. Organizing data before using AI will become crucial in 2024. 28:31: AI's impact on jobs and industries in 2024. Jeff expresses concern about job replacement by AI, while Mercer believes trades will see a "bump" and more people will pursue physical work. Both speakers agree that there will be a shift in job roles and industries, but AI will eventually replace some jobs, while others will remain in demand. Predictions for 2024 include a reduced workforce and increased use of AI in businesses.

When to Hire a Business Coach

Welcome back to Business Unfiltered with Mercer and Jeff Sauer today's topic is When to Hire a Business Coach 0:00: Hiring a business coach and their role in entrepreneurship. Business coaches provide objective advice and frameworks from an outsider's perspective. Jeff shares his experience with hiring a business coach, explaining that they started by taking courses and reading books before investing in one-on-one coaching. Mercer agrees, noting that there's a hierarchy of coaching options, starting with courses and books, and then moving on to one-on-one coaching. 3:05: Progression from group coaching to one-on-one coaching. Group coaching provides live feedback in a safe space, while one-on-one coaching offers tailored advice for individual business needs. Jeff describes his progression from online courses to one-on-one coaching, noting that the right coach can change your mindset and build you up as a business owner. Mercer relates his own experience with taking courses and reading books but has not yet engaged in one-on-one coaching. 6:00: Entrepreneurship, self-sabotage, and personal development. Mercer realized he was self-sabotaging his business by taking actions that were not aligned with their goals. He joined Strategic Coach, a program led by Dan Sullivan, to gain new insights and perspectives on business functioning. The program helped him reset his approach and motivated them to strive for higher highs and lower lows in his business. Mercer expresses hesitation towards investing in one-on-one coaching due to perceived high cost and lack of trust. Jeff shares his experience with paying $22,500 for coaching that didn't provide a satisfactory return on investment. 11:41: Investing in business coaching for growth. Jeff suggests that investing in coaching with him can increase revenue and profit by 50% in a short amount of time, but only for businesses with existing systems in place. Mercer questions the definition of "comfort level" for businesses, especially those just starting, and wonders how to permit oneself to invest in a coach without betting on a single solution. 15:02: Investing in personal development programs. Jeff discusses investing in a coaching program to improve their writing skills, despite not having an immediate return on investment. Mercer suggests that if you're struggling to make ends meet, it's important to work on your mindset and use free resources to improve your financial situation. Jeff agrees that it's important to do due diligence and get references before investing in a coaching program. 17:50: Hiring a business coach and evaluating their credibility. Dan Sullivan is a great example of a coach who can help entrepreneurs upgrade their mindset and business. A coach can provide a firehose of information to help entrepreneurs solve bigger problems, but it's important to find the right coach for your business. When hiring a coach, look for someone who has done what you want to do and can provide personalized recommendations based on your business and growth goals. Jeff is skeptical of coaches who lack real-world experience and instead rely on generic advice and frameworks. He shares his experience with a coach who claimed to be an integrator but provided little value, highlighting the importance of understanding the coach's experience and implementation abilities. He emphasizes the need for a coach who can provide specific, actionable advice based on their own experience in the industry, rather than simply repeating generic advice. 23:25: Personal and professional growth through coaching. Jeff fell for a trap of someone name-dropping without substance, realizing too late that the person had no credibility. He hired a personal trainer and a business coach (Ben) to help them overcome self-sabotage and hit the next level of growth. 25:38: Business growth strategies and financial analysis. Jeff believes that one-on-one coaching accelerates growth faster than group coaching. Mercer believes that group coaching provides a different perspective, helping to identify blind spots and improve results. 28:04 Investing in coaching for business growth and success. Jeff discusses the challenges of soundbite culture in masterminds, where 10 people provide conflicting advice but offer no accountability or implementation support. Mercer agrees, noting that paying for coaching or masterminds can be an investment in one's mindset, as they are more likely to take action on advice from someone they've paid for. LeBron James spends $2 million annually on coaching to maintain his athletic performance. The hosts recommend spending 5% of net revenue on coaching for businesses.

MEligion, Part 7: MEdeeming the Time // Eric Robertson

Do you feel the weight of your past mistakes? Does thinking about the future make you anxious? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson explains how we can "redeem the time."

Ephesians 5:15-16 " See that you walk circumspectly [carefully], not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil."

- MEdeeming the time is fixating on the future.

We are addicted to the future. Because by our own design, we are never living in the moment we are living for.

We connect our happiness to a moment that never comes.

The gospel gives us hope for the future and hope for now.

Matthew 6:31-34

""So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today."" NLT

Why would God equip you to do something that is outside of His will?

When we worry about what the future holds, it robs us of our present peace.

‭‭

- MEdeeming the time is being preoccupied with the past.

Condemnation, shame, and guilt anchor is to our past.

God wants to do a new things in you. His mercies are new every morning.

The only thin anchoring you to your past is a lie that you believe.

Philippians 3:13-14

"No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us." NLT‬‬

- How can you live in the present and Redeem the Time?

- Treat time like a gift, not a guarantee.

James 4:14

"How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it's here a little while, then it's gone." NLT

Psalm 90:12

"Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom." NLT

- Time is a limited resource.

What you do on this planet has eternal weight.

The things that you do to serve God will never be forgotten. The things of this world leads to nothing that lasts eternally.

- Learn Patience over Productivity.

Psalm 37:7, Colossians 3:12, James 1:4

- Cultivate Contentment over Control

Luke 12:25-26, Hebrews 13:5

A lot of the running we do is to get things that we don't need.

Don't let what you could have keep you from enjoying what you do have.

- Rest, Don't Rush

Hebrews 4:9-10,11

God wants you to rest. He created Sabbath for you.

Working With a Bookkeeper

Welcome back to Business Unfiltered with Mercer and Jeff Sauer today's topic is Working With a Bookkeeper 0:00: What does it mean to work with a bookkeeper? Mercer shares the way he has approached it over the years, the different phases of his business, and how he has learned a little bit about it. A bookkeeper is someone who keeps track of your financials, the accounting of your business. The bookkeeper's job is to organize everything so it's in the right slot. He had been freelancing for a while and making money on the side, but didn't know what he was doing. It wasn't until six months after he had his own business that he finally got around to incorporating hiring an accountant and installing Quickbooks to keep track of things. He was the bookkeeper from 2006 until 2012 or 2013, when his wife took over and was the legal bookkeeping until 2020. 5:59: How much does it cost to run a company? The company service is a company service, assigned to an individual individual in the company, but for us it is running around a few 100 hours a month. The bookkeeper is looking at a certain expense, and they give us a little spreadsheet to put in the right slot and Quickbooks, but at the same time, it's like I could also do that in Quickbooks. Working with a bookkeeper. It would be penny wise and pound foolish to not work with a bookkeeper or to do that yourself. A bookkeeper is a gatekeeper of financial information. They need to zero things out and look at every transaction. They also need to classify new expenses that aren't normal or aren't obvious. In year two, it gets pretty easy to re-engage with them and say what you need to be doing differently. 12:12: Jeff discusses managing different divisions of the company. Each brand is a separate division of the company, with different divisions like Profit Pillars being one of those divisions. The bookkeeper is the Quickbooks person, helping us decide where things go and proactively reaching out for financial advice. They are a value added service. Jeff shares the importance of not having to think about spending money and how it triggers him to a certain extent, and why he trusts a professional to do it. The concept of remembering the early years of the company, and how the goal was to make $3,000. 16:49: How do you know you’re getting the most from your bookkeeper? How to think about who can do this for you when you start thinking about how to do something, and how to reclassify your books into different things, not how. A bookkeeper is your tracking code, your workhorse, the person who is looking at the marketing data and looking at marketing data. The chief financial officer is not just an accountant wondering about tax liability. They are more concerned about the overall liability of a company. 20:51: Treating a bookkeeper like a virtual CFO. One thing that is missing is a virtual CFO. Jeff has a coach who gives him great virtual CFO advice. Jeff believes that the virtual COO is what created profit pillars. Having an analyst in place. 23:47: The importance of working with a bookkeeper. Working with a bookkeeper requires a conversation about what types of actions to take from the numbers and how to see revenue opportunities. The bookkeeper is a super important piece because they are not setting things up properly to see the problem. Most bookkeepers will wait for the entrepreneur or owner to come to them for direction. There is a misconception that the bookkeeper is going to tell them about their business, but they are not the only person who makes decisions. 27:41 : Where to find a bookkeeper? A bookkeeper is a financial analyst. They can't do their job if they don't have good data coming in. They need to have good frontline collection of data and classification of data. Custom dimensions and custom metrics. Most people don't know what they need to do for custom dimensions or metrics. Jeff suggests finding a local person who is doing bookkeeping on the side or using a service like Econbalance or the Mom Project. Jeff encourages listeners to leave a comment, leave a review and tell a friend what they've learned from this episode.
