In this episode we talk to Ray Teasdale of www.ProfessionalTaxService.com who takes time out of his day to talk to me about the new tax law changes and how they will effect many of us as we prepare to file next year. There are a number of tax law changes like standard deduction, shcedule A (itemized deductions), alimony and mortgage interest deduction changes to name a few. We also talk about the 20% deduction for pass through entities which may be very advantageous for small business owners. If you would like to get in touch with Ray you can contact him on his website www.ProfessionalTaxService.com to get your consultation. As always, if you have any questions you can join the conversation on Twitter @BusinesBrosPod or on Facebook @SiasFirst and we would love to answer your questions.

Today's episode is an interview with a Twitter follower from New Haven, CT the Original Bambo, Joseph Massaro. Joseph have been giving us a lot of Twitter love and we wanted to get to know him a little better and thought our listeners could benefit from hearing his story. Joseph has worked hard over the years in his family business and as you will hear in this episode, follows the same rule in business, being of service to others. He credits much of his success through rough markets to his ability to work hard and treat everyone with respect and providing them with opportunities to succeed themselves. The picture from this post was when Joseph went to meet with @GaryVee for the Daily Vee episode 494 which he talks about in this interview. We hope you enjoy the interview as much as we enjoyed having him on the show. Be sure to join the conversation on Twitter @BusinessBrosPod and let @TheRev1376 know how he did.

I felt that” Jorge Macias: The podcasts are the best for learning business techniques and really helpful for my future. If you want to be successful you should listen to this podcast because it will definitely help you become way more successful. Real Estate Agents, wouldn’t it be nice if you had a system where you knew exactly what you needed to do every single day? Not only that, wouldn’t it be nice if you have a system where you could predict how much money you were going to make month in and month out? Where you no longer dealt with Cash Spurts and instead you had a system that gave you consistent monthly CASH FLOW? That is exactly what we teach our Real Estate Agents to do. You ARE a small business whether you like it or not and businesses do not succeed with cash spurts. It is not predictable and it is not scalable. You got into this business to find financial freedom and that comes from being rich, where your money works for you and you no longer work for your money. Our coaching clients are trained to do exactly that with practical and tactical information to help them build a business with predictable cash flow. Schedule your free coaching call today.

To be ready daily you need to have a calendar, filled in and scheduled, then do the work. I was talking about this on Twitter and one of our followers came up with an excuse. The thing is, like many other people, she probably didn’t think it was an excuse but of course the Business Bros called her out and helped her see the excuse for what it was. Hopefully she starts taking action and seeing results. Her Twitter comment after telling her to use a schedule was Maru Torres‏ @MaruTor36199903 “I got that part down. It’s the motivation that doesn’t always flow to actually complete the tasks on my planner” BTW: Thanks for all the Twitter Love Motivation to start will never be there. Very few people wake up motivated and ready to go. Maru Torres is the reason for today’s episode so I wanted to thank you Maru for your twitter interactions and I’m so glad you are honest, it truly helps us address common beliefs so that other benefit from them too.

In this episode we talk about the Moo-Bah effect. It's a concept we have talked about for a long time but was brought back into our lives by none other than @TheBrainyBiz Melina Palmer on her podcast and she describes it as #Herding.

Maybe he can react to our Comicon Video? Some more comments about @thebrainybiz content on #herding Today’s topic is called Follow Me, Moo-Bah People are too quick to follow what the herd is doing and rarely step back and think, how is that helping me achieve my goals? In Real Estate, many agents are following the herd and working on their brands, their logos, their teams, their websites their drip email campaigns because they hear the industry telling them that it is what they should be doing. They waste a lot of money buying leads, even worst buying buyer leads thinking that it will solve all their problems. They are looking for that one magic bullet to get them to the glory land! Only to find out at the end of the year that they are broke. They failed to focus on their business’s purpose which is to make a profit. They lost sight of why they got into Real Estate in the first place and fell prey to the easy button. Premier coaching is here to help get you back on track. We are a no BS solution for you. Our podcast, is focused on giving you the cold hard truth and only the truth about what you need to do to be successful and out coaching program does the the same thing but more in depth.

Fame, fortune, comfort, travel, off the grid? What does it take for you to get there? Requires that you have a plan. It requires that you do a little math. It requires that you set a SMART goal. It requires that you take action You should seriously take some time and go talk to someone in their late 80’s and 90’s. They will share some wisdom with you that you should never take for granted They will also share with you their biggest regrets When you are old, you lose the energy and the ability and the time to do things you want to do. If you can see regret in the eyes of someone who has no more time left, it will forever change your perspective on life and what you want to do. Thank you Gary Vee for sharing that message The last thing you want to have in life is regret especially when you are out of time You got into Real Estate or Insurance or your side hustle because you wanted financial freedom but instead your playing fortnite.

You need to understand that stereotypes exist because there is some truth to them. Crummy people that give Salespeople a bad name Politicians Lies or bend the truth Tell people what they want to hear Make promises that they don’t deliver on Timeshare Sales People Pushy sales people You know you should say no but you say yes anyway The incentives are too good to pass up and you feel trapped or obligated Sleazy Car Salesman Buying a lemon Overpriced and taking advantage of under qualified individual You are NOT THAT You strive to be of service to others You find solutions to problems for your clients You under promise and over deliver You have a proven system (or you should) You prequalify all leads You are a professional and have pride in the service you provide What are people afraid of? Labeled a “Sales Person” Negative stigma Ego holds us back Being pushy The reason they don’t follow up We only work with people who need our help anyway Not succeeding Requires you to embrace being in sales Embrace communication with your clients or potential clients Getting out of your own way Salespeople are the highest paid because they solve the most problems. Good sales people are held in high regard because of their compassion and willingness to help.
