On this episode of Business Built Freedom, Josh is joined by guest Drue Schofield from 4Front to discuss the importance of professional accounting services in various industries. Drue emphasizes the need for properly evaluating intangible services, such as financial advisers and IT professionals, to ensure clients are getting the best value. They share a personal experience highlighting the importance of transparent and fair pricing.
Our special guest in this episode is Paul from No BNK, a non-bank business and commercial finance solutionist. Paul is a wizard when it comes to looking at a different way that you can do finance, which is especially critical in today’s financial climate. He has been involved in nonbank lending for around about 16 years but he has never ever put anybody in a loan with the bank. He explained, ‘If I want to borrow money from you, why do I have to go to a bank to do that? You put your money in the bank and then I go and borrow the money from the bank. That’s your money that’s in the bank. That’s not theirs. So why not just borrow directly from you? No BNK is set up where we facilitate accurate information between somebody who wants to borrow money and someone who wants to lend it.’ Listen to the podcast or read on to learn more about No BNK.
In this episode, Warren Maris from Magnus Business Advisers and Accountants share with us how we can recession-proof our business. We talk about having a unique selling proposition, employing ‘good’ people, putting the right people in roles that are right for them, being open to change and involving people in changes, keeping only ‘good’ clients, documenting everything (from client agreements to procedures), getting off the tools, having a thirst for knowledge, and working on the important elements of business in the correct order.

G’day! You’ve got Josh here and I’ve got a couple of special guests. We’ve got Sarah from Perfectly Beautiful. Say hey. We’ve got Masso, and he’s starting a fantastic business around sailing in Croatia. I’ve also got Al here and he’s had a couple of businesses in the past, and he’s looking to go into his third venture. Let’s talk about the biggest thing to consider when managing a business, the scariest decision in business, a tool that can help you skyrocket in the future and what business owners do to keep up with the everchanging technology.
To understand agile development, let’s go back to the days of the waterfall methodology. Here, you produce something and then you say, ‘Okay, now it’s working, but it might have broken.’ And then you go through a process that’s in series. There’s a clear start and there’s a clear end, but there’s nothing in the middle that isn’t defined. It only has a start and an end, and the product is created.

One of the most amazing things about New York is the sheer amount of choice. If you’re feeling hungry, there’s a lot of options, and this is great for consumers. But what you need to realise is that each stand is only offering a few items. The hot dog stand doesn’t sell pizzas and cappuccinos; it just sells hot dogs and a few extras.
Last week, we covered off on apples and oranges and how they can’t be the same price.
If you’ve made it clear that you’ve got a B-grade product and you’re charging an A-grade price, that’s not very fair. If you have a product that sells for $10 and you’re charging $6, but there’s no service and support, that’s not very fair. That’s when it becomes quite hard for people who are trying to compare apples and oranges.
How is that going to work? Obviously, you can’t compare apples with oranges, but this comes down to another big problem, and that’s having your price as your identifier.
If you can’t measure it, is it worth doing at all? It’s a great question. The way I sort of look at it is there are a lot of different people and everyone’s tolerance towards risk is different. You have these different people that come up to you and try to express the way they’re going to be doing their businesses better. They don’t have to go to university and get an education. They might not have any experience or anyone to really coach them through, but they are going to risk it all. They’re going to do it because there are 70 other people out there that did it, that didn’t go through university. So because they didn’t do it, I don’t have to do it, and that’s a risk that they’re taking.
You can’t compare apples with oranges and that’s what it comes down to. We’ve been told this time and time again, don’t compare apples with oranges. But the problem is people know what an apple looks like and people know what an orange looks like, but people don’t know when they’ve bought a lemon. Pretty clever what I did there, I thought. Anyway, so what are we going to be talking about is removing and unveiling what’s behind the curtains. This comes down to any service that isn’t really tangible and you are led to believe that the person that you’ve got doing the service is doing a good job. Now, this can be bookkeepers, accountants, solicitors, lawyers, anything like that. IT people, marketers, SEO people, SCM people, ad-words people, all these people. Unless you’re in the industry and you can double-check and cross-check what they’re doing, you don’t really know if the voodoo that they do is any good.
As time goes on, different trends appear to emerge. One of the things that we’ve been seeing is people cancelling a lot. I’ve got someone here that I’m going to be talking to from Perfectly Beautiful. Her name’s Sarah and I’m going to be talking about if she has any customers and if she’s frustrated with them cancelling on her. So Sarah, have you ever had anyone cancel on you?
Philadelphia is the home of the Liberty Bell and one of the largest cities in the US. But for me, the most impressive thing is how many firsts it’s achieved.

When hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, New Orleans was not ready for a disaster of that scale because it always feels like you have more time to prepare until you don’t.
