On this week’s episode of P is for Profit, we speak with Chris Hervochon, a CPA and the owner of Better Way CPA, which provides outsourced accounting and tax preparation services. This episode is all about cash flow and how to improve the cash that your business generates.
“At the end of the day, your business has to generate cash because you can't pay for your mortgage in anything but cash. You can't pay for the grocery bill in anything but cash. You can't pay your employees in anything but cash. It's got to turn into cash, and understanding specific components of your cash flow statement and where you need to be focused is super important. You need to understand it, forecast it, and model it. That's really the jumping-off point that I see a lot of small business owners struggle with,” says Chris.
We chat about common struggles faced by business owners when it comes to their cash flow, as well as:

Many digital marketing agencies are “stuck” in specific channels they provide for clients, says Darwin Liu, founder of X Agency. On top of that, they only look at results from that channel.
Darwin and his team take a different approach. They measure success by looking at revenue. And they’re what he calls “channel agnostic,” which means they use whatever marketing channels are right for the business. Plus, they strive to get results for as little cost as possible.
In one case, they were able to boost a client’s revenue from $47 million to $90 million in a year, yet only increased marketing spending by 20%.
We take a close look at how they were able to do it and also discuss…
On this week’s episode of P is for Profit, we speak with sales expert, Connie Whitman. Connie is the CEO of Whitman and Associates, and is known for her high-energy, passionate, and enthusiastic approach to teaching and coaching. She aims to help business owners and sales teams build powerhouse organizations to achieve their most outrageous goals.
“You could be a great athlete, but that doesn't mean you should be coaching your team. One thing that I see with business owners is they're really good at creating their product or service, the innovation of it, but maybe sometimes they shouldn't be selling it; they get into the weeds too much. They talk about the details of whatever the product or service can do, but it's not about the product, or you and your business, it's always about the client,” says Connie.
We chat about Connie’s entrepreneurial journey, as well as:
Dan Moore, CEO and co-founder of Vaporware, and his team help turn their clients’ ideas into reality with custom software solutions. They might automate a manual process or help the client provide better service to their customers… or even a completely new service.

In this interview, Dan shares some real-world case studies involving software they developed for healthcare companies, corporate recruiters, and more. Dan also shares some of the biggest myths their potential clients have about software, first and foremost, that it has to be big and expensive.
Dan explains why that’s definitely not the case. We also talk about…
In his consulting business, StructureM, Will Watrous focuses on helping home improvement contractors improve their marketing. But the tools and techniques he shares can improve the profitability of any business.
With consumers being bombarded with marketing online and offline from the moment they wake up, Will says companies must find a way to cut through the clutter to survive.
He says one of the best ways to do that is create marketing messages that repel more people than they attract.
We unpack exactly how that’s beneficial, and also get into…
On this week’s P is for Profit, we’re joined by special guest Jonathan Keyser, the Founder and Thought Leader behind Keyser, one of the fastest-growing commercial real estate firms of its kind in the country, serving thousands of companies globally across a wide range of industries. Jonathan is also the best-selling author of You Don’t Have to Be Ruthless to Win and was recently named the Commercial Real Estate Disruptor by USA Today.
“Fifteen years ago, I attended a conference, and a speaker described a different way of doing business, a way of succeeding by investing in relationships and helping other people, and I was really inspired by that. Long story short, I decided that I was going to embrace that methodology and abandon my ruthless ways. It was a long, hard road of reinvention and of converting myself from this ruthless individual to someone who lives now to serve others,” says Jonathan.
We chat about Jonathan’s journey to founding Keyser, as well as:
