What's the biggest struggle that I face on a daily basis? And what are the steps that I take in order to mitigate that? What are the ways that I think about it in order to mitigate that, and my largest challenge in business is every entrepreneurs largest challenge in business which predictable growing cash flow, cash confidence, it's knowing that next month we are going to make more money than we did last month, or in some cases of my business next month, we're going to lose less money than we lost this month

Right now. I mean, we have a team of five people, we have several strategic projects going on, we have two different revenue streams, we have a whole bunch of we just added a third revenue stream, we have a whole bunch of stuff that's going on right now. And so

Seconds and Cents, Episode Nine, Today is July 7 2020. Today we're going to talk about how time is simply different for me than it is for most people and how it's different for entrepreneurs in general than it is for most people. And the reason why time is different is because of the economy that we live in, and because of the risks that we take as entrepreneurs. And so today, I'm really excited to talk about time, I'm fascinated by time, I'm fascinated with the way that you can bend time as an entrepreneur and that you can kind of operate outside of the conventional norms of time. 

 And today what we're going to talk about is how I have spent more on education in the last three years being an entrepreneur than I did during college, combined.
