Our approach today is based on the money, but we take it a little further and use that stability to explore free time and the impact we are actually making with our clients.

Profit First! It's a book and a system for managing your money as a business owner. Honestly, it makes dealing with your finances a lot less scary.

Eadaoin has been using this system since 2018 and Claire is in the starting stages of setting it up for her business. This week we discuss the nitty-gritty of the system and how we're applying it in our own businesses.

We've made you a cheat sheet too. Pop over to the Grow Out Loud site to get it: https://growoutloud.biz/signup/
