🎃💦 BNI Member Spotlight: Adam Anderson – Southern Waves Power Wash LLC

This week, Adam showed Clayton Business Leaders that a little pressure washing can make a BIG difference!

From dirty driveways and algae-covered siding to roofs, gutters, and fences, his before-and-after photos were incredibly satisfying!

We also learned a little more about Adam outside of work, including his love of hiking, horror movies, and spending time with his daughter.

🕸️ Adam LOVES the Halloween spirit, so he's all for those spooky cobwebs around your house! But come November 1st, he's ready to make those cobwebs disappear faster than a ghost at sunrise! 👻💦

🏡 Whether you're preparing to sell your home or just want to bring back that curb appeal, Adam can help make your property look its best!

👏 Thanks for a great presentation, Adam!

Christie really has the years of knowledge and experience to help anyone looking to buy a new home and get the most money possible for down payment assistance. If you’re thinking of buying a new home she is definitely where you want to start the process.

🏡 PRESENTER SPOTLIGHT: CHRISTIE LATHAM | FAIRWAY MORTGAGE 🏡

Think someone can’t afford to buy a home because they don’t have enough saved for the down payment? Think again!

This week, Christie Christie King Latham shared how the NC Housing down payment assistance programs can help qualified buyers overcome one of the biggest barriers to homeownership.

💰 Up to $15,000 in assistance for eligible first-time homebuyers
🏠 Another option provides 3% of the purchase price
🔑 Funds may help with down payment and closing costs
🏘️ Some qualifying manufactured homes may now be eligible, too!

Christie has nearly 20 years in the mortgage industry and knows how to help buyers explore programs they may not even know exist.

🎯 WHO SHOULD WE REFER TO CHRISTIE THIS WEEK?

Listen for someone saying:

💬 “I’d love to buy, but I don’t have enough saved for a down payment.”

💬 “I’m tired of paying rent, but I don’t think I can afford a house.”

💬 “I was pre-approved, but I can’t find anything in my price range.”

That’s your cue: “You need to talk to Christie!”

👏 Thank you, Christie, for helping us recognize another great referral opportunity!

🎤 Member Spotlight: Laura Smith with Triangle Small Business Solutions

This week, Laura put our members to the test with a game of “Taxable or Not Taxable?” 🤔

With more than 25 years in accounting, Laura helps business owners with accounting, tax, and advisory—but just as importantly, she helps them understand the numbers and rules behind their business.

From plumbing and painting to landscaping and pressure washing, we learned quickly that sales tax isn't always as straightforward as it seems!

Laura also shared how invoice wording and even your social media presence can matter when it comes to sales tax compliance.

Know a business owner who isn't sure they're handling sales tax correctly or they want a better understanding of their financials? That's a great referral for Laura!

💰 This Week’s BNI Spotlight: Rufus Pritchett with First Citizens Bank!

Rufus reminded us this week that business banking isn’t just about collecting money—it’s about protecting it, too.

From merchant services and ACH payments to separating funds for payroll, taxes, savings, and operating expenses, Rufus helps business owners create a banking setup that actually fits their business.

🔐 One great takeaway: keeping all your money in one account can create unnecessary risk—especially when fraud occurs.

🎯 A great referral for Rufus: A business owner who is growing, changing, concerned about fraud, or still running everything through one account.

Rufus focuses on relationships first—understanding where his clients are today and helping them prepare for where they’re going.

👏 Thank you, Rufus, for a great presentation!

👏 **Speaker Spotlight** 👏

A big thank you to Laura Smith with Triangle Small Business Solutions for an engaging, entertaining, and insightful presentation at today's meeting!

Through her creative **"Business Owners Anonymous"** theme, Laura reminded us that many business owners struggle with understanding their financial statements—but gaining clarity around the numbers is the first step toward making intentional business decisions.

One of the most powerful questions she posed was:

**"If a business owner doesn't have clarity around their numbers, are they really being intentional?"**

Using humor, relatable characters, and real-world examples, Laura helped us understand how the Profit & Loss Statement, Balance Sheet, and Tax Return have to all work together—and why understanding those connections is critical for business success.

One of the biggest takeaways was that tax planning doesn't begin when you file your tax return. It starts with understanding your financial position throughout the year and using that information to make proactive decisions.

Thank you, Laura, for sharing your expertise and helping our members gain greater clarity, confidence, and control over their businesses.

If you're a business owner looking for a trusted advisor who can help you understand your numbers, improve profitability, and make more intentional decisions, we highly recommend connecting with **Triangle Small Business Solutions**.

Today, we simply wanted to say thank you.

Thank you to every woman who has trusted us with her care. Thank you to those who have shared their experiences with friends, family members, coworkers, and other women looking for answers. We are continually humbled by the support of this community and by the trust you place in us during such an important stage of life.

At Peri & Pause, we focus exclusively on the care of women navigating perimenopause and menopause. This is not one service among many that we offer - it is our sole mission. Every aspect of our practice is designed around understanding, supporting, educating, and advocating for women during this transition.

We believe women deserve time to tell their stories. We believe education is a critical part of healthcare. We believe in building relationships, not providing rushed, episodic care. We believe women deserve access to the most current evidence and thoughtful discussions about their options. We believe symptoms that affect sleep, mood, energy, cognition, sexual health, and overall quality of life deserve to be taken seriously.

Our team spends a great deal of time anticipating our patients' needs, answering questions, coordinating care, and helping women understand what is happening in their bodies. In many ways, we care for women the same way women often care for everyone around them - with thoughtfulness, attention, and a focus on the whole person.

We are deeply grateful for every patient who trusts us with their care and every woman who shares our practice with others. Women have always looked out for one another, and seeing that support within our community continues to be one of the most meaningful parts of what we do.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey.

- The Peri & Pause Team 💞
