Keep What You Earn

When you hire someone, it's like your business goes through a growth spurt. You take on a lot more responsibility in a very short amount of time, which can be overwhelming. That's why I've asked Jackie Koch to come back and discuss the differences between employees and contractors, how to properly classify the people you are hiring, and what you need to know about each designation as you navigate entrepreneurship. Jackie is a recruiter with over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups, and small businesses in all types of industries. She's the founder of People Principals, has a great podcast called Hiring School, and she's launching an online course called Hiring School. She is a phenomenal resource. I love her approach and ability to simplify the hiring process into an easy-to-digest process. * Connect with Jackie on IG @peopleprinciples or @jackie.koch_ * Find her on TikTok: @peopleprinciples * Check out her website: peopleprinciples.co * Listen to her podcast, Hiring School: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-school/id1615332326 * Questions about this episode?

The thought of hiring an accountant can be intimidating, but I think it's underappreciated what they can do for you in the early stages of your business. You might think that hiring an accountant is expensive, too big of a commitment, or something you only have to do once you've made a certain amount of money, but none of this is true. To help with these misconceptions, I'm going to breakdown what each type of accountant does, who you should be seeking out based on your stage of business life, and what you can do to make sure the professional you hire is the right fit for you. * Find my recommendations here: https://www.fitnancialsolutions.com/recommendations * Questions about this episode?

Profitability is a good indicator of the sustainability of your business when it comes to generating its own cash. But one thing that often gets overlooked and I think is one of the most important factors in a business's ability to sustain and continue over a long period of time is cash flow. I'm going to unpack this term and explain what cash flow is, how to measure it, and how to maximize it. * Questions about this episode?

We have all experienced working with people who cause us to experience excess stress. This is often considered normal in corporate America. But as business owners, we get to choose who we want to work with. So if you have a client who is draining you or you struggle to show up for them with enthusiasm and excitement, you shouldn't ignore this. I'm going to give you some pieces of advice that have helped me in these situations and allowed me to be okay saying no to clients, even when that also means saying no to a lot of money. * Find The Advantage by Patrick M.

I think most of us associate blogs with dumping out our emotions and journaling on a website, but it's so much more than that. Blogging can be a really lucrative source of income if you know how to do it artfully. That is why I have brought Jannese Torres back on the show. Jannese started her business through a food blog and has experienced immense growth through learning to use her blog effectively. Jannese Torres is an award-winning Latina money expert. She became an accidental entrepreneur after a job loss led her to create a successful Latin food blog called Delish D'Lites. She now helps her clients and listeners build successful online businesses that allow them to pursue financial independence and freedom. Jannese is on a mission to educate marginalized communities on topics like entrepreneurship, investing, and financial independence through her personal finance podcast and platform called Yo Quiero Dinero®. If you are thinking about starting a blog or already have a blog that you'd like to amp up, this episode is for you. Jannese tells the story of how her blog became successful, how she was able to build it up, and shares some valuable tips if you're looking to do something similar. * Find Jannese on IG @yoquierodineropodcast * Learn more about her Jump-Start Your Blog course here: yoquierodineropodcast.com/jumpstartyourblog *Link to Jannese's blog bootcamp: https://yoquierodineropodcast.com/blogwaitlist/ * Questions about this episode?

We're ending our three-part series on how you are taxed as a business owner with a discussion about multi-member LLCs and partnerships. Many people don't realize that having a multi-member LLC or partnership complicates things quite a bit when it comes to how you are taxed. I am going to walk you through the implications so you know what to consider before deciding to form one of these entities. * Questions about this episode?
