Welcome back to the MBA Working Girl Podcast-Where Business Theory and the Real World Collide! I'm the show host and blog writer, Laura Adams. MBA Essential Tip: Americans as a whole could certainly be considered Workaholics when compared to many other countries. We tend to take pride in working hard, sometimes to a dangerous extreme. I've heard that as many as 40 percent of workers don't take the vacation time they've earned because they're afraid they won't have a job to come back to! Corporate cut-backs and consolidations further enhance employees' fears.Whether the reason for obsessive working is our 24/7 connected technology, financial goals, materialistic dreams, or an intense love of what we do, there can be serious side effects. We all must block out sacred personal time for whatever can divert our minds from thinking about work. Consider hobbies, volunteering, exercise - anything that gets you completely away from everything work related. And the irony is that getting away from your work, can actually make you more effective when you get back to it! "An unhurried sense of time is in itself a form of wealth." -Bonnie Friedman In this show, I give you a secret weapon to read all those business books that have been calling you.  It's Soundview Executive Book Summaries. Check it out for yourself or as a gift for anyone who wants condensed business education - short and sweet is good! Soundview pioneered the concept of outlining key concepts of the year's best, cutting-edge business books. You can download formats for viewing or listening on your computer, Palm device, Pocket PC, portable media player or CD. Really brilliant. The first segment in this episode was inspired by a recent article in Inc. Magazine by author Adam Bluestein, titled "The Success Gene". He takes a look at some very successful family businesses to understand why they have been able to beat the odds. I also give you a fun test to see if you're a Type A-Workaholic (like me)! And suggest some ways to make sure you stay balanced. This post is brought to you by DirectDegree.com , the premiere online education resource on the Internet.

This is your host and blog writer, Laura Adams. MBA Essential Tip: Many people get tripped up when they have to distinguish between a product's Margin and its Markup. I lay out a good example in the podcast, but here's a couple more to ponder: 1) Let's say you have a flooring company and are bidding on a commercial job. You determined that the cost of the carpet, freight, sales tax and labor will be $10,000. In this business your goal for commercial jobs is to get a 35% profit margin. How do you come up with the correct price? If you multiply $10,000 by 1.35 and bid the job at $13,500, you will not make a 35% margin. This is because you simply MarkedUp the cost 35%. Take a look at the math for a true 35% profit margin:Cost / [1 - margin %] = Price$10,000 / [1 - 0.35] = Price$10,000 / 0.65 = Price$15,385 = Price 2)... -4 Generations in the workplace-Marketing math made simple-Margin vs. Markup Welcome back to the MBA Working Girl Podcast-Where Business Theory and the Real World Collide!

If you do the job for this price, what profit margin would you make?You can plug all the numbers into the formula used above. But here's an easier way to calculate this: Revenue - Costs = Profit$14,775 - $10,000 = $4,775Then divide Profit by Revenue: $4,775 / $14,775 = 0.32 = 32% So, if you're willing to accept a 32% margin, instead of 35% - you're in business! "The trick is growing up without growing old." -Casey Stengel Want to make the profit you need? It's simple - have a great product and price it correctly! This episode is about the very important (and sometimes confused) low-tech Marketing math that allows you to determine the profitability on anything you sell. I'll also give you the scoop on how incredibly different the 4 generations  that are working together are right now.

This is your host and blog writer, Laura Adams. MBA Essential Tip: Many people get tripped up when they have to distinguish between a product's Margin and its Markup. I lay out a good example in the podcast, but here's a couple more to ponder: 1) Let's say you have a flooring company and are bidding on a commercial job. You determined that the cost of the carpet, freight, sales tax and labor will be $10,000. In this business your goal for commercial jobs is to get a 35% profit margin. How do you come up with the correct price? If you multiply $10,000 by 1.35 and bid the job at $13,500, you will not make a 35% margin. This is because you simply MarkedUp the cost 35%. Take a look at the math for a true 35% profit margin:Cost / [1 - margin %] = Price$10,000 / [1 - 0.35] = Price$10,000 / 0.65 = Price$15,385 = Price 2)... -4 Generations in the workplace-Marketing math made simple-Margin vs. Markup Welcome back to the MBA Working Girl Podcast-Where Business Theory and the Real World Collide!

If you have to pay taxes, they should be lower rather than higher, right!But if you think your tax rate will be higher when you'll take distributions, you'll want to consider the Roth option. In this show I discuss a Personal Finance topic about some of the details of 401k Retirement Savings Plans. There are many specifics that can vary from employer to employer. So always be sure to research your own 401k plan when you have a question about what's possible. I'll tell you what early distributions are not taxable and introduce you to situations that would qualify for a Hardship Distribution. We'll discuss penalties that involve additional taxes and suspension of your ability to contribute.

But if you don't pay the TOTAL amount off by the end of the term, you will be subject to a high interest rate that began accruing on the date of purchase. This is the worst form of debt - high interest owed on consumer purchases that started depreciating the moment you took delivery of them. Here's a typical deal-make sure you understand it before signing on the dotted line for consumer financing: Six Months Same As Cash, Payment Deferred Subject to credit approval. Finance charges accrue from the date of the sale unless the Same As Cash plan balance is paid in full prior to the Same As Cash expiration date.

I'm your still-congested host, Laura Adams. A nasty cold has kept me away too long - but I'm feeling soooo much better! MBA Essential Tip: Are consumer sales financing offers demonic or angelic? It's all in the eyes of the beholder. The real answer depends on whether you're financially responsible. Can you pay your bills on time consistently? If you answer yes, you can use "Same as Cash" financing deals to delay payment for products like appliances, furniture, or floor covering. If you pay the total amount off by the end of the term - either in smaller regular payments or in a lump sum - you eliminate ALL interest and fees. You get to take delivery of products for 6 months, 12 months, or sometimes 24 months while your money can be working for you earning interest. But if you don't pay the TOTAL amount off by the end of the term, you will be subject to a high interest rate that began accruing on the date of purchase. This is the worst form of debt - high interest owed on consumer purchases that started depreciating the moment you took delivery of them. Here's a typical deal-make sure you understand it before signing on the dotted line for consumer financing: Six Months Same As Cash, Payment Deferred Subject to credit approval. Finance charges accrue from the date of the sale unless the Same As Cash plan balance is paid in full prior to the Same As Cash expiration date.

Before you craft a presentation, try to anticipate what difficult questions you might hear. Find out the answers and practice your responses. But if you don't know the answer, you must admit it. A great way to solve this problem is to ask your audience if anyone knows the answer. You can also suggest a good source to find the answer, or offer to research the issue and follow up with the individual or group. Here's the best way to organize presentations- A. Introduction     1.
