Small- business- finance- operations. How do you feel when I say those words? Do you want to hide your head in the sand or make excuses for this or that? No matter your response now, you don’t have to stay in that space.
Quotes from the show
“Let’s just round up a taco is going to cost you five bucks. It’s like a deluxe taco. And if I’m looking at a pair of shoes, that’s 50. Right? That’s 10 taco dollars. Am I willing to give up 10 tacos to buy this pair of shoes?“-Lisa Balstad
“I think it’s just that taking a minute, kinda slowing down, asking yourself about the purchase before you make it.“ -Lisa Balstad

Espresso Shot(s)
What are the 4 finance pillars small business owners should be thinking about
(1. Awareness – Be aware of your finances. Often people are sacred, ashamed, or nervous to look at their financial situation. In order to move forward, we need to see where we are.
2. Mindfulness – Be mindful of your spending habits. I discuss 6 questions to ask yourself before you make a purchase.
3. Purposefulness – I always say, “Don’t wonder where your money went, tell it where to go!” A budget isn’t a restriction but rather a plan.
4. Accountability – We were not designed to go it alone. Get an accountability partner and/or a support network.)
