Contrary to popular opinion, Millennials aren't the only ones doing side work and following their dreams, Baby Boomers are emerging as entrepreneurial spirits as well!

This week, we get to hear from Generation X firsthand through a reluctant representative -- my mom. As a Program Analyst for the CDC she has a deep passion for African American genealogy research and shares:

• Her experience discovering her passion

• How to create opportunities to monetize it

• The sometimes harsh realities that come with balancing full-time work and your passion project, plus more!

I truly believe that our ancestors are calling out for their stories to be told. They lived through a time where they couldn’t speak for themselves, so we are in a unique position to speak for them by both knowing and sharing their stories.

Let us know your thoughts once you’ve listened to this unique episode, we’d love to hear from you!

So, in this episode, we discuss:

• The difference between cash accounting and accrual accounting.

• How each type of accounting recognizes revenue.

• Why choosing between the types of accounting matters to your business.

• Our preferred accounting strategy for your business.

If you’ve been tuning into our podcast for awhile or hanging out with us on Instagram, you’re not surprised when we say this: You should be charging more for your goods and services. Yes, you!

When you undercharge for your service or product, you’re not only sending a clear message to existing and potential clients and customers about your value, you’re also telling them how to perceive your worth as well. But this decision to undersell yourself doesn’t just affect you and your business, but others as well.

On this episode of the podcast, we talk about:

• How undercharging actually takes away from the growth of your business.

• The example you set for your team when you undervalue and undercharge.

• How resentment builds toward your clients, leading to unnecessary conflict.

• How the community suffers when you don’t have the resources or time to reinvest in it.

We know your value and we want you to know it, too. So, if you’ve been on the fence about raising your prices and nervous about how your clients and customers will respond, you’ll definitely want to tune into this episode. And as always, we love hearing from our listeners! Send us an email at [email protected] or visit us on Instagram.

Entrepreneurs are no strangers to isolation — we often work alone and make most of our decisions by ourselves. And while we’re used to going at things solo, it doesn’t mean we thrive in that environment.

That’s why we’re so excited to get to know and introduce you to people who are making moves to not only grow their businesses, but working to grow the community of entrepreneur networks. Meet Stephen Miller, co-founder of Locale. Locale hosts pop-up co-working days in non-traditional spaces in New York and Washington, D.C. to connect remote-working entrepreneurs while promoting travel and diversifying work locations.

In today’s interview, we talk about:

• Some common obstacles entrepreneurs face while working remotely.

• The power of pacing yourself in your business.

• Separating the urgent from the important.

• Giving yourself time to think abstractly about your business.

As always, thank you for tuning in to the podcast! If you want to find out more about Locale, you can visit www.localeworkspace.com or find them on Instagram - @localeworkspace.

There’s a gap in society — those who were taught financial literacy early on, and those who weren’t. We feel like we should be managing our finances well, but we don’t know the first place to start. As a result, this lack of knowledge is a pain point for many, leading to shame, feeling overwhelmed, and guilt.
Because we know so many of us struggle with these feelings on a daily basis in our businesses, it’s nice to have someone on the podcast who understands. Meet financial coach, Keina, founder of Wealth Over Now. Her target demographic is passionate, single women who need help creating financial goals, saving more money, and stressing less. Using her personal finances knowledge, today on the podcast, we discuss:
How mindful spending is something everyone should practice.
The importance of knowing where and how you spend your money.
Prioritizing what you value instead of going without.
Why Keina prefers “spending plans” instead of “budgets.”
When it’s time for you to secure your own financial coach.
As always, thanks for tuning into our podcast! To find out more information about Keina and Wealth Over Now, visit www.wealthovernow.com or visit her on Instagram - @wealthovernow.
