⭐ "Tax planning/savings season starts the day after April 15 and goes until the end of the year." ⭐ Although this article is a couple of years old, it really describes the hamster wheel folks get on when it comes to tax prep when they stay behind the 8-ball....and how they miss the opportunities when it comes to REAL tax planning. My personal belief is that a mindset shift in planning for taxes naturally leads to increased future focus and planning for the business and personal finances...and that's where things start to become magical.

It's time to ditch the mindset that business has no room for emotions! Interpersonal communication, and relation is what drives a business. The best way to relate to your employees and motivate them is through encouraging, and making them feel heard. #emotions #emotional #interpersonal #interpersonalcommunication #relation #relationships

Are we neglecting old relationships in hope of profiting from new ones? That's the question that drives the discussion when Jennifer H. Elder, CSP, CPA, Jim Ristuccia, and Jon Strickler join the ethics panel to Grapple with the Gray. Here is our topic: Recently, I had enough of Charter Communications. My monthly fees kept going up, service got worse, and AT&T came around with faster service and a low rate locked in for 10 years. I signed up, then called Charter to cancel. Immediately, they offered to upgrade my service, and slash my monthly fees. When I demurred, they offered me discounted cell phone service and their firstborn child. Okay, I made up that last part. A few weeks later, I called the St. Louis Post-Dispatch to cancel my mother’s subscription after the price went up to $175/ month. Same story: Please stay and we’ll cut your fees by over 50%. The service industry is famous for offering special deals to attract new customers. But what about their old customers? Shouldn’t loyalty count for something? And don’t these special offers indicate that customers are paying more than they should be? Aren’t we better off living in a world where we cultivate loyalty rather than trying to seduce strangers to abandon long-standing relationships? Is this really the best way to do business, or would businesses do better in the long run working harder to retain the customers they have? And even if it is best for the bottom line, what is the social cost? Enjoy the soundbite, then click to watch or listen to the full episode.

Most #AuditCommittee meetings are not as effective as they could be. Most #ChiefAuditExecutive go through the same motions each meeting, preparing a slide deck, making speaking points, and then show up to the dog-and-pony show and leave thinking they are done "just fine."

(e.g. what to do before, during, and after the meetings) I discuss more in this free video. https://lnkd.in/g3CwRTyT When you are ready to learn more tricks to a really effective Audit Committee meetings, and know what to do before, during, and after the meeting, register for the Certified Chief Audit Executive® course at: https://lnkd.in/gye4qkAK or join the Audit Leader Forum™ at: https://bit.ly/AuditLeader

As a mental health practice owner, you are an entrepreneur. A few months ago, I was at a conference and I had the chance to ask a question. My question was: “𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑠𝑢𝑔𝑔𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑢𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑒?” Why did I ask this? 👇 Because running a practice is so much more than seeing patients. ❌ And many people don’t realize this. There is a lot of pressure on owners. So, how can you handle this pressure? ✅ Talk to your peer group and bounce ideas off of each other ✅ Focus on what matters most and prioritize the important things  ✅ Work with an advisor who can help you navigate these pressures ✅ Embrace the business end of the practice instead of trying to fight against it It can be really overwhelming to run a practice while also making sure your patients are getting the attention they deserve. But, try these tips above and see if they help make things smoother for you. If you are looking for someone to walk this journey with you, DM me! #business #smallbusiness #future #success #entrepreneurship
