In this episode, I’m sharing a real-life story from one of the salon owners in my online money course. She found herself heading into a cash flow crisis, not because she was doing something wrong, but because life happened. Staff resignations, injuries, and pre-booked leave collided to create a perfect storm of reduced income. 

The good news? She saw it coming. And that’s the power of planning.

We walk through the strategies I shared with her, what to do, what to avoid, and most importantly, how to stay calm and proactive. Whether you’re in a financial squeeze or just want to bulletproof your business, this episode is packed with practical advice and a big reminder: the best way to survive a crisis is to see it coming and prepare before it hits.
