Let’s talk about an incredibly important topic: PROFIT. If you haven’t been able to tell, I’m passionate about helping business owners like you create more wealth for themselves and others. I think it’s a critically important topic because 83% of small businesses operate check to check. This causes stress and chaos for you, your family, and those around you. But we can stop this. The hard truth is that generating healthy and sustainable profit isn’t hard. It’s a habit. In this episode I am remin...

Do you have a revenue goal that feels elusive right now? In a world where everything is shifting and there are plenty of people on the internet telling you how much you “should” earn, it can be overwhelming to determine what revenue goals really align with your life and business needs. That’s why I want to reshare an episode I did late last year about how to use Profit First to think about your revenue differently and to get different results than you’ve been seeing. Truly, one of my biggest aha...

Profit is something I get really excited about because it’s one of the most forgotten topics in entrepreneurial circles. Most people are so revenue focused or - if they are in the online space - they are crazy about scaling. Profit is left as an afterthought, and it’s also the most misunderstood. For example, the business I worked with made about $3M in revenue but ZERO profit. They thought the answer to their profit problem was 10X their revenue. Essentially, more work would equal more revenue,...

Today we are covering what it looks like to pay yourself at the various stages of business, and really there’s no one way to do this at all. But what I think would be helpful is if maybe I share with you my journey and my experience paying myself at these different levels, so maybe that jogs something for you. Maybe it elicits some curiosity, a question, a different way to think about things. Get your Revenue Goal Calculator - https://theboldleadershiprevolution.com/revenue-goal-calculator...

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the difference between revenue and income. We’re going to talk about how Profit First can help you with figuring out revenue and income. This is a common mistake that we make: using terms of revenue and income interchangeably. They are not interchangeable. I’m going to tell you what revenue is. I’m going to tell you what income is. Then I’m going to tell you to forget about your income. I’m going to want you to focus on something else instead. Get your Rev...

Are you one of the 73% of Gen X women who say that their financial situation keeps them up at night? That's a staggering number. Of millennials, 77% of them are reporting that they're up at night because of their finances. Those are staggering numbers. Men tell me that women don't want to learn about financial literacy because it's not sexy enough. Yet when I meet women, and we talk about money, they all say they want to increase their financial literacy. It sounds like one more area that we mig...

Today I’m talking about why I talk about money, and we’re going to lead into a series of episodes that are more around financial literacy and well-being than, say tips, tricks. Maybe I’m not talking a lot about sales or some of the other things I talk about. This is just pure money talk. Make sure you tune back in for the next few weeks as these roll out. Some of the topics might seem a little dry. However, they are things that you want to know because you are asking me and/or I am watching you,...

In today’s episode, I’m talking about how established experts might think they suck at marketing, but they can make it their superpower. Take me, for example, I’m living proof that this is true.

This podcast episode covers a topic that came up recently during a call inside The Bold Profit Academy about responsibility as business owners. There is so much pressure which can lead to burnout and fatigue. The pressure stems from a good place, like the fear of not getting people you care about results or someone having a bad experience with your program. But there will always be good and bad reviews of businesses because our society is hyper-connected. So how responsible do business owners ne...

On today’s podcast, I got to chat with one of my business besties, Michelle Warner. We met in a very large Facebook group back in 2014 or 2015.

She believes in the mix of art and science that grows into a business. Most of her work is with businesses that have plateaued or aren’t growing the way the...

Like a game of Where’s Waldo, I dove into a conversation about where my money is going, the financial goals I have in the short-term, mid-term, and long-term, and what my target allocation percentages are in my business. This is an opportunity to hear how I do things, but it’s not meant to say it’s the right way. Allow the information to inspire you to think creatively about your own money. Women are money ...

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Stacey Harris, who is on the team. We are chatting about all the different technology we utilize in the business. Our focus this year is on transparency, and hopefully, you can learn something or find a new tool you might be missing out on in your business.
