CEO Chronicles

Money is a tool, if you know how to use it!!!


Listen Later

It's hard to talk about being a business owner without talking about money, and we are talking today about all things money and why we should know how to both earn it and use it! We talk about both the pitfalls and the advantages of taking loans out and give examples of resources that will lend money to small businesses and how running a business is financially similar to running a household.

We discuss in detail various ways to borrow money such as peer-to-peer lending, crowdfunding like Kickstarter, credit cards, home equity loans, and simply going to the bank. We also touch upon the differences between these various methods and their pros and cons. Don't forget to have a plan in place before pursuing one of these options because you don't want to be taken under!

We feel so much better about money after having this conversation and are so glad that we sat down to talk about this! We hope that this chat resonates with and is helpful to you, and, as always, we appreciate you listening to the show and encourage you to reach out to us via the email address provided in the show notes if you have anything that you would like to share with us! We would really love to hear from you! Until next time!
