business finances

In this episode of the IT Business podcast, Uncle Marv discusses cash flow management with Heather Zeitzwolfe, a CPA and profit strategist. They delve into the importance of understanding the difference between profit and cash flow, emphasizing the significance of tracking business finances effectively.

Heather highlights the distinction between profit and cash flow, stressing that profit is what remains after expenses are deducted, while cash flow refers to the movement of money in and out of a business. She emphasizes the need for business owners to track their finances diligently to avoid confusion between profit and available cash.

Moreover, Heather suggests using tools like QuickBooks to visualize cash flow effectively, enabling business owners to monitor money coming in and going out. By understanding the timing of cash flows and maintaining reserves, businesses can navigate uncertainties and ensure financial stability.

Heather's approach blends her analytical skills with creativity to help clients interpret financial data and strategize for the future. Her unique focus on working with vegan clients showcases her commitment to ethical alignment in her business partnerships.

Want to know a hard truth?

The very things that make us great at being business owners – willing to take risks, a never ending supply of new ideas – also tends to make us poor money managers.

And while it’s become a lot less taboo to talk about and celebrate money wins (#yay!), no one is talking about being crappy with money.

But I am.

Today we’re going over five financial literacy blind spots to recognize if you want to increase your profit margins and pay yourself MORE. 

Quick overview of what we cover:

• The investment fallacy that people in the online coaching space fall for…over and over
• Why ‘spend more to make more’ thinking is a trap 
• What keeps your from paying yourself a consistent or robust salary 
• What amount of credit card debt is a red flag
• How often is too often to feel stressed over money 
• The three things successful business owners are good at (and why you only need to be good at one of them) 
• A better metric to estimate when you want to increase your profit margins (that goes beyond what you’re making and keeping each year)
• How to tell if you have goldfish finance syndrome

Who hasn’t wished for a magic wand to wave over their business from time to time? Parts of being an entrepreneur can get extraordinarily tedious, especially when you’re doing a lot of the heavy lifting yourself, task-by-task.

Well…just call me your Biz Fairy Godmother, because I do happen to have a little somethin’ magical up my sleeve – automated sales systems! 

Now, I get that this topic comes off as pretty boring, but the effect on your business (and the time it frees up for you!) is nothing short of MAGIC. 

So much so, that I’ve renamed them – and on today’s episode, we’re talking about autoMAGIC revenue systems. 

Quick overview of what we cover:

• The biggest mistake business owners make with sales systems
• How to tell if your biz is ready to start implementing automagic revenue systems
• What creating a process map of your clients’ behavior – from their discovery of you to ascending through your offer suite – reveals
• The 4 points to consider about each of your sales steps 
• The quantitative analysis that will tell you exactly which areas are primed for autoMAGIC
• What outsources you can call on to get your autoMAGIC systems underway
• How tracking KPIs highlights the areas still in need of a tweak

• The thing I can almost always predict with overworked business owners who are making more than 6-figures
• How we approached building a team with this client
• Tweaks we made in how this client was launching that resulted in $100k+ USD within 10 days

It’s one thing to make 6-figures per year, but it’s a whole different vibe to generate 6-figures through *one* contract.

In this episode, I’ll be breaking down what went into a recent 6-figure offer we closed, how it came to be, the structure of the offer, and the biggest factors I feel contributed to closing the sale.

Quick overview of what we cover: 

• The most obvious paths to selling a 6-figure offer
• The importance of having established trust and established rapport when selling at a 6-figure price point
• How to leverage high level skill sets and excellence in your field into high value expertise
• Having integrity in what you offer and turning away extra money even when a client wants to spend it
• How years of intentional work on money mindset contributed to making this sale
• The expected ROI of this offer for the client and how that contributed to making the sale
