The Profit Factor

Hi there! Welcome to this week's episode of The Profit Factor.

Today I want to talk to you about paying A LOT of taxes! Not as scary as it sounds - paying your taxes will actually save you a lot of fiscal heartache!

I will cover:

• Why profitable business = paying a lot of tax
• How tax evasion can massively screw up your financial future
• What having a 'broke on paper' business means for your borrowing power
• Ways to responsibly, ethically and LEGALLY tax shelter.

If you've ever wanted to know how to make sure you're setting your business up for a profitable tax future, then listen now!

If you don't know whats going on in your bank account you don't know what going on in your business #truthbomb. Your numbers tell the story of your business the question is are you reading the books?

In this week's episode I'm teaching you the golden rule: Numbers don't lie. They tell us EXACTLY what is and isn't working for our business, and if you aren't paying attention then you're sure to miss the red flags!

Tune in to find out why knowing your financial data is crucial to making sure your profits are growing and you are hitting your #goals!

Hey there! Welcome to this week's episode of The Profit Factor!

I want to help you answer that huge, scary question: Is It Time to Give Yourself a Raise?

When business feels like it's booming, it makes sense to start paying ourselves a little more! But you don't want to jump into this financial commitment without making sure you've covered all bases!

This week I will talk you through:

• Calculating your profits accurately
• Setting a personal budget - that is honest!
• The difference between your GROSS and NET profits
• How many months' profit you should have set aside
• The importance of investing (when all you want is a swanky vacay and a nice new convertible!)

Are you ready? Then let's do this!

Welcome, all you savvy entrepreneurs, to this week's episode of The Profit Factor!

In this episode I will be covering:

• How to calculate revenue, expenses and profit
• Understanding your personal contributions
• Forecasting your 2021 Profit
• Comparing projections to your goals and discussing when it is appropriate to reset them

We are halfway through the year and if you're not feeling like you've kept on top of your financial goals, there is still so much time to turn things around!

Hello friends!

In this "live" episode, I'm sharing a speech I gave on Passion to Profit!

I recently had the privilege and honor of sharing with a group of women at an event called The Pink Experience, hosted by the Women's Business Center in Delaware. It was insightful and empowering to get a big group of boss babes together to talk all things business!

In my speech, I gave a six-step process for turning your passion to profit (because that's what we're all here for anyway, right?!). I shared practical, simple steps for turning your business into a money-maker, rather than a draining money pit.

I share candid experiences I had as a brand new entrepreneur: about the things I did wrong AND the things I did right! Then, I outline the steps you can take to make it happen. Success is possible if you follow the right steps!

Listen in and be apart of the inspiring Pink Experience with me!

I am SO excited about this special episode, featuring my friend and fellow entrepreneur, Tom Sylvester!

Buckle up and get ready for some super valuable concepts and strategies in this insightful interview with a guy who GETS IT!

Tom is a business consultant, entrepreneur, speaker and author. He works with entrepreneurs and business leaders to help them grow and scale their businesses through leadership, strategy, and systems. He spent several years doing this with Fortune 500 companies and their leaders before shifting his focus towards his passion, which is helping entrepreneurs and small businesses.

After working with far too many entrepreneurs who achieved business success at the expense of their personal lives and relationships, Tom pulled Ariana in and started the #LifestyleBuildersMovement. They believe that your business should support your life, rather than taking it over. As a result, Tom spends most of his days working with entrepreneurs on that mission, from coaching entrepreneurs, co-hosting the Lifestyle Builders Podcast and co-authoring the Lifestyle Builders Book with Ariana.

Welcome Back!

I'm so glad you've come back for more!

You know the fable about the emperor's clothes? Yep, that's what we're talking about today...except it's an Empress, of course! Shout out to all my boss babes out there!

You don't need a super fancy website (or any website at all, actually) to build and grow your business. Today, I'm sharing with you my personal experience working with entrepreneurs that seem to have it all together on the outside, but when digging into actual expenses vs. profits, their businesses were in trouble! Remember our mantra - if it doesn't make money, it doesn't make sense. If you're spending thousands and bringing in pennies, we need to talk.

I'm also sharing my personal experience of building my business from the ground up with not much more than an old laptop. It can be done, people! Having all the nice things is really fun, but these "fancy clothes" without good profits are not going to do anything for your kingdom, my Empress!

Welcome!

Thanks for tuning in to the very first episode of The Profit Factor Podcast!

We've all heard it...what's your 'Why?' What is the passion that motivates you to build or grow your business? I'm fed up with those pretty, cliche answers - my family, my desire to help others, blah blahhh - enough already!

Let's get real...you started your business TO MAKE MONEY! And guess what?! That's ok! Money is not a dirty word...in fact, it makes the world go round! So where does passion fall into this? Passion fuels the direction in which you go to make more money. You cannot make a difference in this world without money...your passions can only be carried out when you've got the resources to pour into them.

In this episode, I will share about my past relationship with business finances, give a quick little reality check, and send out a call to action to all my fellow entrepreneurs out there. It's time to know the numbers in your business instead of simply avoiding the subject (or literally never looking at it - anybody else?!) It's time to take control instead of letting your finances control you. Are you ready to make a profit?

Let's go!
