Following up on my previous episode about the unique challenges of product-based businesses, today I will be discussing service-based businesses.

 

There are often many fewer moving parts in service-based businesses, but that does not mean that tracking your finances should be ignored. I often see service-based businesses overspending on labor, advertising, and customer acquisition because they do not have an understanding of what they should be tracking. 

 

I will be discussing the key components to track in your service-based business to make sure that your business is sustainable.

 

What you'll hear in this episode:

[0:50] The unique challenges that come with a service-based business.
