    Jul 2 2024

    Scaling your business quickly is a dream for any business leader, but without the right preparation, it can quickly turn into a nightmare. If you don't have the operational foundation to support your business growth, the quality of your offers, and your reputation, will suffer. Don't think of operational excellence as a chore, but rather as an investment in your brand. In this episode, I'll teach you how to walk through the processes in your business and figure out where you need to make changes to handle increased customers smoothly. Preparing your systems to take on more traffic efficiently is an approach that focuses on serving your clients as well as you can, not just growing the revenue coming into your bank account.

  • Ep 47 - Effective Strategies for Setting Revenue Goals: Tips for Small Business Owners
    Jun 4 2024

    Welcome back, CEOs! In this episode, we dive into the crucial topic of setting effective revenue goals for your small business. I'll be sharing insights on how to balance personal time and health alongside business responsibilities. Before you begin to calculate your revenue goals, you need to consider your personal cost of living and desired take-home income. Remember that your revenue is probably not anywhere near your take-home pay, but you do get to set your own salary as a business owner, so choose a revenue goal that will give you the salary you need and want. I'll be explaining the Profit First Method inspired by Mike Michalowicz, which allocates revenue towards profit, taxes, expenses, and owners' pay. This is essential for setting a realistic revenue goal. Plus, I'll be sharing a sneak peek at our next episode, where we'll dive into reverse engineering sales goals!
