In this episode of the Leaky Bucket Podcast, we discuss the dangers of emotional decision-making in business. 

While emotions are useful for detecting danger and making connections, they can lead to poor decision-making when dealing with unexpected events. 

By keeping bookkeeping up to date, creating a cash flow forecast, and underplaying income and overplaying costs, you can make logical decisions from a position of control.
