Small Business Fundamentals: It’s not what you think it is

Small business ownership is one of the stepping stones to building wealth in the United States, but stepping stones need a strong foundation to keep from sinking, being overrun with weeds, and staying intact. Let’s talk about long lasting success!

Embrace the Small Changes: Bite size goals will get you there

Growing a business is exciting, but it can be overwhelming. Not only is it challenging to imagine growth when you are working day in, and day out, but what does growth look like, and how do you get there? Let me share a two strategies that will change your approach.

Cash Flow & Cash Modeling: Your most undervalued tool

“But I’m not a numbers person!”

I hear this a lot, and to get straight to the point, if you are a business owner, then you need to be someone who is comfortable with numbers. Go beyond budgets, (or flying by the seat of your pants), and build a tool you can use to anticipate cash flow highs and lows so you are empowered to make thoughtful financial decisions.
