For those with a growing side hustle, understanding your options for financial management tools is crucial. While manual bookkeeping is suitable for small ventures, this video explains why using bookkeeping software and even hiring a bookkeeper becomes essential as your business expands. It highlights the complexities of the double entry system and how professional help can streamline your business financial strategies.

Our latest challenge involved a "freezer clean out challenge" with Cheryl, a commitment to "use it up challenge" before buying new groceries. This practice in "frugal living" not only helped us embrace a more "frugal" lifestyle but also significantly reduced "food waste" over six weeks.

A few extra minutes of real listening can prevent hours of cleanup later. That’s not a soft skill. That’s a business advantage.

What’s so last year when it comes to your money? And what deserves a permanent spot in your financial closet in 2026? In the spirit of those fashion shows that tell us what’s in (and what should’ve been retired years ago), we’re doing the same for personal finance. This roundtable episode breaks down the Do This / Not That moves that actually matter for your money heading into 2026. Joe Saul-Sehy is joined by an all-star panel: • Paula Pant (Afford Anything) • Jesse Cramer (The Best Interest) • OG (Stacking Benjamins) Together, they dig into: • Financial habits that looked good in 2025 but don’t belong in your plan anymore • Smart money moves worth keeping (and doubling down on) • Trends that sound exciting but deserve a little side-eye • Simple shifts that can make your financial life calmer and more confident Think of this as your personal finance fashion check—less about perfection, more about making choices that fit your life.

Do This/Not That With Your Money in 2026
What if earning more money in 2025 has less to do with working longer hours and more to do with becoming dangerously useful? In this conversation, Joe Saul-Sehy and OG sit down with entrepreneur Alex Hormozi to break down how skill stacking, leverage, and better decision-making can radically change your income trajectory, whether you run a business, lead a team, or clock in for a 9-to-5. Alex pulls back the curtain on what actually drives higher pay: choosing the right skills, focusing on work that compounds, and learning how to take smart risks without blowing up your life. Along the way, he tackles one of the hardest challenges Stackers face, how to pursue growth when well-meaning friends, family, or coworkers are urging you to play it safe. This isn't about hustle culture or quitting your job tomorrow. It's about building a skill set that makes you indispensable, learning how to negotiate from a position of strength, and thinking long-term while others stay stuck optimizing small things. WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY: • Why skill stacking beats talent when it comes to earning power • How to identify high-leverage skills that pay off in any career • Ways to invest in yourself that don't require an MBA or massive risk • How to apply entrepreneurial thinking inside a traditional job • Practical negotiation insights that actually work in the real world • When giving away value helps you grow and when it backfires • How to tune out discouraging advice without burning bridges • Why systems and processes matter more than motivation If you're serious about earning more in 2025 but want to do it thoughtfully, sustainably, and on your own terms, this episode gives you a blueprint worth studying. Listen for the mindset shifts that compound quietly and the small changes that can unlock much bigger opportunities over time. ___________ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/c/stackingbenjamins?sub_confirmation=1 SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/subscribe 🎙️ https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/applepodcasts 🎙️ https://open.spotify.com/show/05GoIBt7Ka4nobVWOBsqlD 🎙️ https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cd767a1d-eed1-4bd8-9e7a-03876c7242e6/the-stacking-benjamins-show VISIT US ON SOCIAL: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IStackBenjamins Twitter: https://twitter.com/SBenjaminsCast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stackingbenjaminspodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stackingbenjamins JOIN OUR COMMUNITY: 💬 https://www.facebook.com/groups/joesmomsbasement 📰 https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/201-yt WEBSITE: 🔗 https://www.stackingbenjamins.com ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: 📒 STACKED: Your Super-Serious Guide To Modern Money Management https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/stacked/ 📞 Leave a voicemail: https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/contact/ #StackingBenjamins
Alex Hormozi on Skills That Actually Build Wealth, Part 2 (SB1785)
What if the biggest driver of your financial future isn't the stock market but your skill set? In this episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy and the crew sit down with entrepreneur and business strategist Alex Hormozi to unpack one of the most overlooked wealth-building tools Stackers have access to: skill acquisition. Alex doesn't pitch get-rich-quick nonsense or risky moonshots. Instead, he walks through how ordinary people (employees, side hustlers, and business owners alike) can increase their income by focusing on high-leverage skills, smarter negotiations, and taking calculated risks that actually make sense. You'll hear how Alex went through early business struggles and hard-earned lessons before building real wealth. Not by chasing trends, but by deliberately stacking skills, learning faster than the competition, and betting on himself without blowing up his life. The lessons apply whether you're asking for a raise, switching careers, growing a side hustle, or simply trying to earn more without working yourself into the ground. This is an episode about earning more on purpose, not grinding harder. WHAT TO LISTEN FOR: • Why skill-building often beats investing early in your career • How to identify high-leverage skills that pay off repeatedly • The difference between smart risk and reckless risk • Why small optimizations won't change your life but big skills might • How to design your own curriculum without going back to school • When betting on yourself actually makes financial sense ALSO IN THIS EPISODE: Reflecting on standout episodes from 2025 and what's coming next, a quick check-in on managing your money with intention not noise, why confidence is built through reps not motivation, and how compensation and risk are more connected than you think. A QUESTION FOR THE BASEMENT: What's one skill you've learned that's paid off way more than you expected, or one you wish you'd started earlier? Share it in Spotify comments or bring it to the Basement Facebook group. Your answer might help another Stacker spot their next big opportunity. Because money grows in accounts, but wealth starts with what you can do. ___________ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/c/stackingbenjamins?sub_confirmation=1 SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/subscribe 🎙️ https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/applepodcasts 🎙️ https://open.spotify.com/show/05GoIBt7Ka4nobVWOBsqlD 🎙️ https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cd767a1d-eed1-4bd8-9e7a-03876c7242e6/the-stacking-benjamins-show VISIT US ON SOCIAL: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IStackBenjamins Twitter: https://twitter.com/SBenjaminsCast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stackingbenjaminspodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stackingbenjamins JOIN OUR COMMUNITY: 💬 https://www.facebook.com/groups/joesmomsbasement 📰 https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/201-yt WEBSITE: 🔗 https://www.stackingbenjamins.com ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: 📒 STACKED: Your Super-Serious Guide To Modern Money Management https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/stacked/ 📞 Leave a voicemail: https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/contact/ #StackingBenjamins
