You've got to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
That was a top tip and a bit of a theme in my podcast interview with M.C. Laubscher...
As an investor, business owner, and host of the Cashflow Ninja podcast, M.C. shared so many stories of businesses who had thrived using ideas and approaches that they put in place when they were hit by a crisis.
And for many businesses right now, the current climate is such that crisis after crisis may be the norm. And you have no idea how to dig yourself up from under it all.
And so in this episode of De-stress Your Business, we go deep into what you should be doing in the current economy. If you need practical insights or you’re looking for simple changes you can make in your business to improve cashflow and help you scale, this episode is for you.

Most business owners struggle with one thing that seems easy on the surface…
How do you get your team to FOLLOW THE PROCESS?
For example, Darren is the owner of multiple dog hotels.
One day, he told me he was frustrated that his team would not consistently follow the processes in his business.
As a result, mistakes were frequent (risking the health of the dogs), team members were inefficient (increasing costs) and he was required to be on hand EVERY DAY to deal with issues.
He wanted to know… What should he do? Should he give up trying to get people to follow the process? Are the people the problem? Does he need to fire people? Is his business unusual? Why won’t people just do things right?
In this episode of De-stress Your Business, I’m going deep into the advice I gave him, the changes Darren made, and what happened as a result.

When I spoke to Jordan Fleming about rapidly scaling past $5m, one thing stood out.
And it was this.
His business is scaling fast without constant stress.
There’s no chaos!
Jordan (CEO) is working 5 hours a week, and having a great time!
And his team are loving it too!
This isn’t a fluke. Prior to this business, Jordan spent 15 years as a management consultant.
He learned what processes and systems would be needed, and he’s proactively put them in place.
He dedicates a ton of time to working “on” the business rather than “in it”.
And it doesn’t stop — they’re continuously improving (and scaling!)
Have a listen to discover Jordan’s secrets
