Podcast Episode Description:

In this episode, we ask one of the most important questions every business owner must eventually face: Where is your business heading?

I’m Deb, a Profit First Professional, and I’m here to help you explore the three core paths available to you as an entrepreneur—whether to stick with what’s working, scale for greater income and impact, or sell and move on to something new.

Clarity on your business direction shapes how you spend your time, energy, and money. And those who lead with clarity make stronger decisions, feel more in control, and build businesses that truly support the life they want.

You’ll hear stories from my own journey, along with key reflection questions to help you assess what you really want—and how to start building towards it today.

About the Podcast:

This episode of the Financially Healthy Business Podcast explores the critical difference between business owners who feel empowered—and those who feel stuck. That difference often comes down to one thing: clarity of direction.

I walk you through three strategic options:

✔️ Stick – maintain and optimise your current business model

📈 Scale – grow with intention and structured support

🔁 Sell or transition – prepare for a profitable, values-aligned exit

Whether you’re in the thick of client work or considering your next chapter, this episode helps you pause, zoom out, and make choices that align with your goals.

With focused 15–20 minute episodes rooted in Profit First principles and real-world experience, this podcast supports you in building a business that not only performs—but feels purposeful.

Lead with clarity. Plan with intention. Build what works for you.
