* A #Mastermind provides you with the ability to see the world in a different way. The more you know, the more there is to learn. #ContinuousLearning http://aha.pub/ThomasWhite

* At the #Mastermind meeting, what you know is always improving because you start seeing what works and what doesn’t. Is your reality expanding? #ContinuousLearning http://aha.pub/RonanLeonard

In this episode, Mitchell Levy (http://aha.pub/MitchellLevy), TEDx speaker and the AHA Guy at AHAthat (https://AHAthat.com), introduces his co-host, #ThoughtLeader Jeff Shavitz (http://aha.pub/JeffShavitz), a number-one Amazon bestselling author, an investment banking analyst with four years’ work experience at Lehman Brothers, a merchant advocate, and the CEO of Shavitz Group, whose aim is to help explain to business owners the confusing world of payment processing.

This episode is packed with eye-opening AHAmessages focusing on expense reduction from credit card fees in order to educate business owners in managing payment processing-related transactions and increase company valuation by minimizing credit card expenses.

Jeff’s expertise is largely attributed to his years of experience in the payments processing industry. He pioneered and successfully sold several companies involved in the processing industry, including Charge Card Systems, which he co-founded and led as CEO for 13 years. His eagerness and drive are manifested in all the companies he’s worked with to deliver quality service to his merchant base at competitive pricing. He has extensive technical know-how in providing secure and efficient integrated processing in managing payments of businesses and has maintained relationships born out of the network he has built, with close ties to the banks and merchant processors, including First Data.

Jeff’s business path from being an investment banker in the corporate world to becoming an entrepreneur and an independent business owner in the payment processing industry is born out of a realization that he wanted more out of his professional life. Jeff’s passion is to help business owners in explaining hidden fees of credit card processing, the 600+ various interchange rates, and new regulatory fees and sharing new technologies entering the marketplace.

* If you can save a thousand dollars a month of #CreditCardFees, wouldn’t it be worth it? #ExpenseReduction http://aha.pub/JeffShavitz

* The smart approach in managing finances is to direct the money to the business owner and not to the credit card processors. #ExpenseReduction http://aha.pub/JeffShavitz

* #CreditCard companies can legitimately increase your rates. These erroneous fees are difficult to catch; find a merchant advocate that will look at avoiding these mistakes in your statements. #ExpenseReduction http://aha.pub/JeffShavitz

* A dollar saved on #CreditCardFees is often more valuable than a dollar earned. A dollar saved may be dependent on your tax bracket. When there is money saved, that’s a win! #ExpenseReduction http://aha.pub/JeffShavitz

In this episode, Mitchell Levy (http://aha.pub/MitchellLevy), TEDx speaker and the AHA Guy at AHAthat (https://AHAthat.com), introduces his co-host, #ThoughtLeader Ronan Leonard (http://aha.pub/RonanLeonard), an author, business mentor, speaker, and founder of Return on Intellect and Eccountability, which helps overwhelmed and frustrated owners grow their businesses fast (https://www.eccountability.io/), and their guest, #ThoughtLeader Cory Warfield (http://aha.pub/CoryWarfield), a brand ambassador and evangelist, mentor, speaker, co-founder of #MentorYou Global Consultants Network, and founder of ShedWool Scheduling (https://www.shedwool.com), which has helped revolutionize the way businesses from different industries connect their employees to each other and their work schedules through customizable web and mobile apps. This episode is packed with thought-provoking AHAmessages as they focus on #Masterminding to build additional revenue and authority using this framework.

Ronan’s expertise and his succinct way of conveying the #Mastermind message can help any aspiring individual or company grow business to new heights. He shares valuable insights about when to pursue knowledge at the right time and to be good at it. For him, your biggest asset is yourself and how you present yourself to people who are watching you: your network. Ronan believes that you should invest time, money, and knowledge in yourself as you connect with other people who have the same values and passion. He strongly suggests to always find ways to collaborate and explore new ideas together, and opportunities will come up to add revenue for your respective businesses.

Cory’s humble beginning, on the other hand — from being homeless to becoming a food server and eventually becoming a business entrepreneur himself — is a testament that #Masterminding is effective by allowing you to be the best version of yourself in the hope that people in your sphere of influence catch on with the same positivity, ambition, and sincerity to do what you really are passionate about. Cory is keen on you presenting your authentic self, showing that you actually care about what you do and the people you meet and eventually work with.
