Business Financial Coaching
Starting a business is tough and there is no rule book. Mistakes are quite common but there is another way.
When it comes to starting a business there is no shortage of “experts” out there that want to encourage you to buy some product or service that will help your business grow or bring new customers to your business. This is a difficult trap because sometimes there are gems in these products and services. The other problem that business owners run into is that often they start a business doing something that they love and they have a full-time job that is less than ideal. As the business picks up some steam the life of managing two jobs is often too much and the average business owner wants to speed up the process from employee to self-employed.
Crockpot vs. Microwave
I know we are talking about businesses and not food but the analogy is the same. When a new business owner starts working in their business while working for someone else the urge to grow the business quickly rather than with stability. When you want food quickly you will throw it in the microwave even if you know it would come out better in the crockpot or the oven. BWhebn

What on earth is Profit First?
Profit First is a cash management system that takes what a business owner does naturally in order to manage money to grow and create clarity and profitability. All too often businesses are not looking at where they stand with their cash flow because they don’t know how. The system was created by Mike Michalowicz and Gimli Ventures has been running Profit First since its inception.
Your accountant is where people typically turn when they want to know if they can make business decisions or worse they look at their bank account and opt to make choices one way or another. Now your accountant has one primary job to keep you out of the crosshairs of the IRS. It absolutely is not their job to help you determine if you should grow or not. It is also not your job to go crazy learning how to spin the slew of reports that accountants work with. Your job is to do what you love and making your customers happy so that can keep your business running.
Learning how to ensure that you prioritize an emergency fund, your paycheck, and taxes so that you are systemically doing so sounds too good to be true. This plan makes sure that it isn’t like the few pounds we all want to lose each year but instead works with how you handle money normally.
