Great cashflow needs great process.
You need regular processes to:
Spot cashflow issues
Take actions that will increase your revenue
And take actions that will decrease your costs
As an example, you shouldn’t just review your pricing when cashflow is hurting.
You should be reviewing it every year!
By being proactive, you can greatly increase your profits and avoid cashflow issues and all the stress that comes with it.
We discuss just how to do this in today’s episode of De-stress Your Business.

How many tools is too many tools for your business?
I’m often told my business leaders that they don’t want “too many tools” in their business, or that they don’t want to introduce “yet another tool”.
In theory, you could run an entire business using one tool — spreadsheets!
It’s not a good idea though, as it is likely to break, will be slow, and is hard to delegate to others.
So, how many tools is the right number? How can we identify when to add, and when to take away? How can we reduce the stress associated with having too few or too many in the business?
That’s what I dive deep into in today’s episode of De-stress Your Business.

We’re live at Expert Empires today with over 500 business owners.
It’s definitely not our first event, but it’s the first we’ve bought the team to promote AirManual. And the first time I’ll be speaking to over 500 people (tomorrow!)
Which is super exciting…
But a little stressful??
So, on today’s episode, we’re going to share a little about how we’ve prepared, and the steps we’ve taken to de-stress the whole experience.
Both for this event, and for future.
