Leadership Lessons Learned: Leading While Learning – The Power of Imperfect Progress

Profit First: Mastering Your Cash Flow

 

Cash flow management involves tracking how money moves in and out of your business. Even profitable companies can fail if they run out of cash to pay bills and meet obligations. Many small business owners have heard the term "cash flow" but aren't sure what to look for or how to manage it effectively. Profit First offers a straightforward approach, helping you intentionally direct your cash to ensure stability and profitability.

Why HR Matters for Every Business, No Matter the Size

 

The cost of HR mistakes:

  • Even with just one employee, you’re subject to local, state, and federal labor laws

  • HR is what protects you from lawsuits, helps you scale responsibly, and keeps your team engaged


Relatable HR Challenges:

  • "I don’t need an employee handbook, I only have a few people!"

  • "I hired someone as a contractor because it was easier."

  • "I have no idea what to do if someone asks for time off or gets hurt on the job."

  • "We just wing it."
