Pay Play Profit

Do you feel like you're a square peg in a round hole as an entrepreneur?

Many times, we think we have to get it all figured out right away. Then, we think we have to stay exactly the same as who we were the day we started. If our business doesn't look like it was supposed to look when we set out to start it, we view that as a failure.

In today's episode, Katie Chase shares how her entrepreneurial journey revealed to her where her strength truly lies. Just because you start somewhere doesn't mean that's where you have to end. It's not a failure if you eventually realize that the business you've been building is not the business you should be working in. If you, too, feel that way in your business, then it's probably time to do a heart check and let Katie's story inspire you.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Katie's origin story from motherhood to entrepreneurship.
• Her entrepreneurial journey and what she discovered along the way.
• Katie's financial journey and her ProfitHero experience.
• Why make a financial investment in yourself and your business?
• Her role now as an Integrator.

Leadership, in general, is under attack right now. And as a leader, it's time for you to start reimagining entrepreneurial success so you can continue to serve and make a difference in the world.

This episode draws inspiration from Craig Groeschel, a pastor, a dedicated leader, and author of the book, Winning the War in Your Mind: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life. He came up with this training called How to Last in Ministry and in his presentation, he mentioned 10 essential points leaders should live by every single day.

It also makes perfect sense how Craig's teachings can be translated into how you can reimagine entrepreneurial success for longevity. And so, we thought of sharing our insights with you because your faith will always be tested as a leader. But it's in how you get back on your feet – backed up by faith – that ultimately matters in the end.

In this episode, you will hear:

• How to reimagine entrepreneurial success
• Drawing inspiration from Craig Groeschel's 10 things about How to Last in Ministry
• Some things we found to be most impactful from Craig's teachings

This episode is BREAKING NEWS related to the 2020 tax update regarding the choice of states on the deductibility for paycheck protection.

We feel it's important to get the word out because this is one of those little hidden minefields that nobody knows about. And frankly, your tax preparers, accountants, or advisors may not even know about this. After all, there's just so much to know.

So here it is...

Most states all follow the actual federal guidelines for the Paycheck Protection Program. However, there are some states that are not following the federal steps for tax with regards to the Paycheck Protection Program.

The paycheck protection program has been able to help online businesses and other small business owners survive and be able to continue their businesses. We don't want this update to dampen anybody's spirit. So don't let this deter or derail you – just start having conversations if you're in one of these 10 states we're going to mention today!

In this episode, you will hear:

• Take advantage of the PPP
• The states that are not tying their tax code to the federal government's position
• Why it matters if the expenses on the PPP loan pays are deductible
• The impact of loan forgiveness
