(if I was in L.A.) There is a song in there somewhere and there is a message in this post. I am now a firm believer that for many of us the best time to think and work on our business is when we are away from it and not working in it at the same time. Personally for me this time of year is my favourite time to do this is Autumn, as the seasons change and nature prepares to take stock and recharge to burst into Spring the following year. For me I am taking stock, looking at my processes, aligning my networking, planning and visioning where I want to be this time next year and mapping out a two year, three year plan. I have finalised dates and subjects for three workshops with Angela Proud to be held at The Media Centre in Huddersfield 10am to 12:30pm on November 13th, December 11th and January 8th 2025 - aimed at helping ambitious, businesses from 1 year onwards with lots of quick wins and information. Priced at £55 including eventbrite fee - it is not live yet but please keep an eye out and save those dates. Also in early discussions to collaborate with an accountant Richard Fitton to the benefit of real Small to Medium size businesses. Had some new cases come in with some very interesting and challenging twists. What are you doing to work on your business , this is the best time to look at the process you have in for invoicing, credit control and late payers and I know just the person to help with that - could it be me?

Greetings to all my connections! Over the past half-century, I have gained a unique perspective on the world of credit card processing - specifically the evolution of Cash Discount programs. These initiatives are revolutionary in the payments industry and businesses worldwide are switching to these models for significant savings. Cash Discount programs allow businesses to pass processing fees to their customers, turning the once expense into profit. In essence, it's a way for businesses to eliminate most, if not all, of their processing expenses by adding a small service fee to all sales or giving a discount to those customers paying with cash. This smart approach has seen tremendous growth due to the radical cost savings it offers. But not just any cash discount program will do. There’s a piece of the puzzle that is essential for true business success - a Royalty Cash Discount. Unique in its approach, the Royalty Cash Discount goes a step ahead in embracing 'cash discounting', offering businesses monthly dividend checks from the processing volume of the businesses they refer. A prominent platform that holds its ground in this transformation is https://lnkd.in/gkBnVT7N. It promotes a business-friendly payment model where the more you share, the more you save and earn - which only amplifies the rewards for businesses tenfold. The appeal of earning while saving with zero fees has a great resonance across various businesses, turning a complex expense into a streamlined, revenue earning operation. You see, the modern business world demands smart financial strategies to flourish, and embracing a model like Royalty Cash Discount provides an advantageous edge. Even traditional 'no fee' setups can't compete with the combined benefits of significant savings and growing royalty checks. For you who are entrepreneurs or business owners seeking to maximize savings and even foster passive revenue, it's time you explore this transformative financial solution. Visit the webpage, grasp the concept, and join the financial revolution. #CashDiscount #RoyaltyCashDiscount #FinancialStrategy

How do you actually get to $50k a month? You don't aim for $50k first. You aim for $10k first. $10k a month is so easily attainable compared to $50k. No you don't just do what you're doing at $10k a month 5x over to hit $50k a month. For $10k a month: Pick a high income skill, grow your personal brand on X, and provide the skill as a service. For $50k a month: You need a team, you need clients locked in for a few months paying you a good chunk of money and you need disgusting deliverables. Go for $10k, then get a team member to help you, then build systems and then scale up.

As we head into the final stretch of 2024, I wanted to remind everyone that there are just two weeks left to take advantage of our biggest promotion yet. At Vault, we’re focused on helping Canadian businesses manage costs—especially during the holiday season when expenses are at their highest—so we're offering 4% cash back until the end of the year.

So whether it's paying vendors, running ads, or handling employee expenses, we’re here to help businesses save on it all. This offer ends on December 31. We’re proud to support Canadian businesses with better solutions, and it’s been great to see so many new customers already benefiting from this promotion.

John’s Thoughtbox: Saturday Prime Time It’s no secret that times are challenging right now. It’s also no surprise that there were record liquidations in the SME sector last year since 2009 😔 Many in the business sector who described it as a ‘tsunami’ of liquidation or bankruptcy situations. ❓Why is this? From a UK perspective, is the business environment at a critical point / standing still a little or is it just me? I’ve had a real insight into automotive back to construction and the same themes pervade both sectors. 🤔 My limited view isn’t holistic but personal business experience-related. 🤟 However I speak with a wide audience of contacts and 5 similar themes seem to come up: 1.) Hardly anyone answers the phone first time. Web contact is primary and replaces customer service etiquette. Comms have changed and so have manners (for the worse generally). 😠 2.) SME Invoicing dates being flouted by companies Acounts Payable classic line: ‘Can you re-send your invoice’ lalala..leading to cash flow issues for end of the chain. 🤮 3.) Lack of skilled workers (lots of pretenders or opportunists without good end product OR consistency.😵💫 4.) Those WITH good end product lacking in client building attitude. More a ‘one pass to grab the cash’ rather than looking at things on a continuum.**😑 **This isn’t directed at my close business connections in any way 😎** 5.) The art of negotiation and partnership; working together even if your end goals may seem misaligned; what is there to trade? 😕 ➡️A business insight or a method? Maybe competitor landscape or a new technology to learn. 🌟 What about my fellow LI connections, can you relate or add to any of these?
