4 Financial Health Hacks For Contractors: Contractor Evolution
11/03/2024 Duración: 01h23minTo learn more about Breakthrough Academy, click here: https://trybta.com/YTEP149 For many contractors, financial clarity can be elusive. None of us got into business for ourselves to stare at QuickBooks, spreadsheets, or P&Ls. That said, the dangers of ignoring this indispensable side of our business are no laughing matter. Does laying good people off because you can’t afford them anymore sound fun to you? Or funneling personal dollars into a business account to run payroll? Or filing for bankruptcy? Don’t be a financial freewheeler. That’s one of our mantras here at Breakthrough Academy. On that note, I am extremely excited to welcome Bob Gauvreau to the show today. Bob is the founder and CEO of Gauvreau Accounting Tax Law Advisory, a 100+ professional services firm that specializes in the contracting niche. In a world of lame financial gurus and quasi-experts, it is actually very hard to find a master of the craft, and Bob is exactly that. Today’s conversation is about how the 4 easiest

The Antidote To Your Chaotic Leadership: Contractor Evolution
25/02/2024 Duración: 01h16minTo learn more about Breakthrough Academy, click here: https://trybta.com/YTEP148 Do you thrive on chaos? Or does it thrive on you? Is there something about the entrepreneurial journey that attracts the tormented soul? Or is it the journey of small business itself that causes the discord inside us? I’m not sure I know the answer, but one thing that seems abundantly clear to me is that if we don’t tame the chaos within, it amplifies itself on the outside. Our frantic and reactive energy rubs off on the people we lead. Our scarcity mindset causes us to push, drive, and sell at a rate that seemingly no one can keep up with. Our incredibly high standards for ourselves and our team exhaust us, as nothing is ever good enough. My point is this: Chaotic leadership doesn’t scale. If you’re in a chapter of your growth journey where you’re: - tired (like… REALLY tired �) - wondering why you started this thing in the first place �♂️ - dealing with ambient anxiety you can’t quite put your finger on � - or

Risk Mitigation Strategies Protect Your Future: Contractor Evolution
19/02/2024 Duración: 01h01minTo learn more about Breakthrough Academy, click here: https://trybta.com/YTEP147 One part of the wealth-building story for contractors that doesn’t get a whole lot of coverage in our modern thought-o-sphere is risk mitigation. The affluent business person you want to become doesn’t get there SIMPLY by always making successful bets. The part you don’t see is the huge losses they avoided. S*** happens.
