"Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, and cash is king."

Wow! How's that for a quote. It's from Alan Miltz by the way, who co-wrote Scaling Up.

I'm not sure I completely buy in to the idea that revenue is vanity, but it does the make the rhyme work. And it's a good lead-in to today's episode.

We're talking about the ONE thing that will actually determine whether your business survives and thrives or becomes another statistic: And that's PROFIT.

Not revenue. Not followers. Not subscribers. Profit.

Today we're digging into one of my favorite topics: business planning and goal setting for the new year. I so love this time of year!

Now, I know this topic can feel a little overwhelming. Maybe you're staring at a long list of goals. You're not sure where to start with planning. Or maybe you're not even sure what goals to set. I get it.

In this episode, we'll go behind the scenes of my 2025 planning process. I'll share what I've learned over the years, what I'm doing differently this year, and how you can apply these strategies to your own business.

Just as a little sneak peek. . .I've shifted my approach over the years. Instead of focusing only on lofty goals, I've developed a system that's more actionable, strategic, and—let's be honest—less stressful.

So grab your coffee, notebook, or just your earbuds, and let's get to it!

So, someone asked me recently, "How do you make sense of all the financial stuff when you're running a business on your own?" And honestly, that's such a great question because, let's face it, small business finances can feel overwhelming. And not everyone has a background in finance.

Let me tell you a quick story. Back when I was a banker, I saw businesses of all sizes—startups, small shops, established small businesses. And it was fascinating to see how financial literacy (or the lack of it) could make or break a business.

But here's the thing: even when I launched my own business, I quickly realized that personal knowledge doesn't automatically translate into systems. It was one thing to understand financial principles and another to set up processes that worked for my unique business.

So today, we're going to break it all down—financial statements, budgeting, and using your numbers to grow your business. By the end of this episode, you'll have a roadmap to help you gain clarity and confidence with your finances, and you'll be ready to make decisions that actually support your goals.

So Let's jump in!
