Have you seen my video on TikTok where I call out all the gurus telling you that you can make $10,000 per month in 90 days only working 3-5 hours per week?

In the video I talked about how these people are not making $10k per month and only trying to sell you something or gain a following. The video performed quite well with over 25,000 views and it inspired me to record this episode. 

I gave 3 different ways you could earn $100k per month and today I’m going to tell you about the power of using creative financing to get you there and out of your W2 job.

In this episode, our guest is Charles Read. As the founder and CEO of GetPayroll, Charles has provided full-service payroll and payroll tax services in Lewisville, Texas, since 1991. Only 86 people in the past 16 years have passed the US Tax Court Non-Attorney Practitioners Examination, allowing him to represent clients in the US Tax Court without becoming an attorney. In today's talk, Charles tells us about his business path and how he handles payroll. Stay tuned!

[00:35]

Charles is a native Iowan who hails from the Midwest. Because he wasn't ready to go to college, he enlisted in the Marines and served for four years. Later, he discovered that military expertise didn't work well in the commercial world. So he went to college, obtained his degrees, and entered the business world.

[02:13]

Upon joining Texas Instruments, he discovered that he was one of many new hires and that his academic accomplishments and college degrees were insignificant in the corporate world. Charles worked for a few different companies before beginning his own.

[05:17]

To help the company continue, Charles bought it from a friend and redesigned it with his friend's support. For the first ten years, he realized that there is no such thing as work-life balance for entrepreneurs and that you need a supportive spouse to help you through this difficult time.

[09:54]

Entrepreneurship requires a certain mindset; not everyone is cut out for it. Some people aspire to work for the government or have secure employment. But with Charles’ experience in Marine Corps and his family having a business, he grew up to adapt and conquer any conditions, which are the skills needed in the business world.

[13:03]

Charles’ business was initially an accounting firm with a payroll sideline. Later, he sold his accounting practice to his partner while continuing to handle payroll. Charles owns a payroll service firm that offers payroll services to small and medium-sized businesses across the country. 

[18:49]

One of the most common blunders in the payroll sector is failing to outsource payroll services. Another is paying workers under the table or as independent contractors when they are employees.
