Breathing is the first thing coming into this world and the last thing we do when we leave. We take about 600 million to a billion breaths in a lifetime and don't even think about it.

In this episode, Reis shares with us the reason why we should pay attention to our breathing. It is a vital tool to not only stay alive but also regulate our nervous system. There's a different way to breathe that's correlated to the state we're in at the moment. Reis teaches us how to breathe for the state we want to breathe in.

Reis also shares some tips for the best breathing practices before a sales call, presentation, or anything that could lead you to an anxious or nervous state in your workplace.

In this episode, Shaily talks about the thing most accountants neglect but value at the same time. She figures a lot of listeners get their business by word of mouth. But the reality is that they are not staying in touch with their past clients and referral network. It's the most significant missed opportunity.

Shaily also believes that the outsourcing part sounds like it will be huge. If one has a firm, they don't want to do their marketing. But if they don't know who to hire, they will miss out on the real benefit of outsourced help.

One of the things to note in this episode is how to hook your audience from the very beginning, especially in doing social media posts. Get them to click the "see more button."

In this episode, Brian shares how he overcame his fear of rejection and people saying "no" to him for raising prices and how it affected his business revenue.

He also gives us an excellent idea on how to make time for optimizing your business which he calls the Brian Week for his own business.

The government will pay you to invest in their list of priorities, such as jobs, energy, food, technology, and the like, as long as you do it the way the government wants you to. It's a win-win for the government, business owners, and society.

We all use the tax incentives, but according to Tom, we don't understand that the biggest tax incentives are for investors and business owners. They are not for little things we do for ourselves or other people.

Tom shares the seven investments the government will pay the business owners for and how to invest in these in this episode. Up to this point, it has been the rich who have taken advantage of these because they have good tax professionals. In order to leverage these things, you have to get good advisors. Accountants, bookkeepers, and financial coaches can start with the books The Win-Win Wealth Strategy and Tax-Free Wealth to better position themselves so they can advise their clients about the tax incentives in businesses.

The more wealth you build, the less tax you pay.

Take that leap of faith to move forward with your business.

Tuesday had a dream and a vision, and she realized that through partners, other resources, and relationships, she could make that dream come true, not only by helping her with her business but by providing careers and opportunities for so many.

Tuesday started a program in Africa, which is an extraordinary contribution and a novel way to grow a business. There are young women in Africa who need opportunities and set up a business of their own and share in this new way of doing business in terms of technology. She thought that if she wants to grow her business, she should focus on women, so they trained women to do bookkeeping in the AJOY way. The idea came in November, and they graduated their first cohorts, 11 young women. They taught them more than just bookkeeping and created courses on US Tax, US Accounting, and US Business, in general.

Surround yourself with people that are there already. You need to have certainty in your numbers. You have to have that certainty around your business. Associate yourself with other people and other businesses, and until you can see that there are ways that other people have done what you're trying to accomplish, then you get kind of stuck in your mindset. You have that dream and inspiration that there's another way, and you start moving in that direction.

Networking with people you associate with is the best way to be introduced to a new perspective. Dr. Phelps shares that where ever you are, you know somebody in some circles you run in. Start asking about how they learn and what their resources are. Be willing to step out of your cave in your current business, and reach out and start finding those people because the inspiration for living the life you want to live comes from seeing other people who have actually done it.

Dr. Phelps is a huge fan of knowing his numbers. He explains in this episode that until we know we have certainty by the numbers, then we're too afraid to make a change, and we keep doing what we're doing, and that's just a life of just ongoing routine which will make people kind of desperate to make a change somewhere down the line.

We need success, but let's not forget significance. Aaron has been on this two-decade journey in Mastermind with not only success but great significance pouring into the lives of other people.

Aaron is on a very important mission to eradicate isolation. Going through this pandemic, really isolated everybody. But, even before that, we were alone. And so, he is trying to help us understand that we need to have trusted advisers. We need people in our corner to give us perspective, resources, and encouragement. Aaron is on a quest to help transform the lives of many people.

So many entrepreneurs, both men, and women suffer in isolation. They have fears that hold them back because entrepreneurs are afraid to appear vulnerable and transparent to other people. They are terrified that they might be less knowledgeable in some areas. They don't want to fail. In Mastermind, they encourage entrepreneurs that real strength begins at the intersection of vulnerability and transparency. When they get to this place, they can grow. Entrepreneurs yearn to be a part of a community, but they are afraid because of misguided thoughts of preservation. They want to fit in and belong, but they don't know the next right step to take.

Every comment we make in a public forum it's to position ourselves. In status management, if we eradicate what other people think of us, we would be a lot better off positioning in a way that would help the person listening.
