Can Your Business Actually Afford You?
We ask whether our business can afford a new employee, new software, a bigger space or another investment all the time.
But when was the last time you asked whether your business can actually afford you?
Because if your business only works financially because you work for free, work ridiculous hours, take whatever money happens to be left, or continually absorb the jobs the business can't affo...
What happens when you love what you do… but realise passion alone isn't enough to keep the business going?
In this episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Joanne Caruso from Joanne's Temple Colonics and Wellness Centre.
Joanne's journey into business is an incredibly personal one. After more than 30 years in corporate HR, and following some heartbreaking...
How many times have you checked your bank balance today?
If you're like most small business owners... probably more than once.
We often use our bank balance as the scoreboard for our business. If there's money in the account, we feel okay. If it's looking a little tight, we start questioning everything.
But here's the truth...
"Where's my money going?"
If you've ever found yourself typing those words into Google (or ChatGPT), you're certainly not alone.
In fact, it's one of the most common questions business owners search for.
The problem is... Google can give you thousands of possible answers, but it can't tell you what's actually happening in your busine...
Would you buy your own business?
It's a strange question... until you really stop and think about it.
This episode, I'm inviting you to do something a little different.
Forget your to-do list.
Forget your inbox.
Forget the fact that you're the owner for just a little while.
What happens when a business owner stops believing that more sales will solve everything and starts understanding what is really driving the business?
In this episode, I sit down with Karen Ahl, founder of Web-sta, a marketing agency celebrating almost 20 years in business. Karen was actually the very first person to purchase my Cashflow Course, and after first appearing on the podc...
It's the start of a new financial year here in Australia, and everywhere you look, business owners are setting new goals, making new plans, and promising themselves that this year will be different.
But what if we're asking the wrong question?
Instead of focusing on what's next, perhaps we should first understand what the last 12 months were trying to teach us.
In this episode, we'll explore why your business is constantly leaving ...
Have you ever asked ChatGPT a business question and thought:
"Wow... that's actually a really good answer."
You're not alone.
More and more business owners are turning to AI for guidance on everything from pricing and cashflow to hiring, growth, and profitability. And while AI can be an incredibly powerful tool, there's one thing it ...
Have you ever implemented business advice that should have worked... but didn't?
Maybe you've raised your prices and still felt under pressure.
Maybe you've increased sales but your cashflow hasn't improved.
Maybe you've hired staff hoping to create more freedom, only to find yourself more stressed than before.
EOFY is almost here, and whilst there’s plenty of advice floating around about tax deductions, spending money before 30 June, and getting your paperwork in order, some of the biggest mistakes business owners make happen during this period.
In this episode, I share four EOFY mistakes I'll never make again and explain why these seemingly harmless decisions can create unnecessary...
EOFY has a way of making business owners feel like they need to do something.
Buy the vehicle. Upgrade the equipment. Stock up on inventory. Sign up for the software.
After all, you'll get a tax deduction... right?
But here's the question: Is the decision genuinely helping your business, or is it simply helping you pay less tax?
EOFY shouldn’t feel like a financial horror movie.
And yet for so many business owners, June arrives with panic, stress, avoidance, and sleepless nights.
In this episode, I unpack the emotional side of EOFY and why it often feels so overwhelming for business owners — not because EOFY creates problems, but because it exposes the ones that have bee...
Not all debt is dangerous.
And not all debt is smart just because the business can access it.
In this episode, we break down the very real difference between debt that strategically helps a business grow… versus debt that quietly keeps a struggling business alive while bigger problems build underneath.
This is an honest conver...
Your accountant says the business is profitable…
So why does cash still feel tight?
Why are so many business owners making sales, growing revenue and technically turning a profit… while still feeling pressure every single week?
In this episode, I'll unpack one of the biggest misunderstandings in business: the difference...
We’re coming up to the end of the financial year here in Australia… and for a lot of business owners, the focus is already on what’s next.
New goals. New plans. A fresh start.
But before you jump into the new financial year… there’s something far more important to do first.
👉 Review what just happened.
In this episode, I break down why reviewing your year isn’t just about looking at your numbe...
You’re making money… so why does it feel like there’s none left?
If you’ve ever looked at your bank account and wondered where your cash is actually going — this episode breaks it down in a way that finally makes sense.
In this episode of The Boring Sh!t You Need to Know About Business, we unpack one of the most common (and frustrating) challenges for small business owners: cash disappearing despite s...
You’re working. You’re selling. You’re growing.
So why does paying yourself still feel inconsistent… or worse, something you “get to later”?
In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most common (and overlooked) challenges in small business — actually paying yourself in a way that is intentional, consistent, and sustainable.
Because here’s the truth… If your business o...
What happens when a business owner goes from making financial decisions based on gut feel… to using their numbers to confidently grow?
In this episode, I sat down with Alikki Russell, founder of The Hummingbird Centre — a thriving psychology practice that has grown from a single room to 40+ staff across multiple clinics.
But this isn’t just a growth story.
It’s a story about what happens behind the scenes w...
This episode is a little bit different.
Because it’s my 50th birthday.
And instead of putting together a list of “50 lessons”… I wanted to focus on what actually matters.
Because over time, you start to realise something…
Not all lessons carry the same weight.
Some are interesting. Some are nice to know.
But then there are the ones that genuinely change how you think, how you make decisions, and how ...
Let’s be honest…
BAS isn’t what creates stress in your business.
👉 Avoiding it does.
In this episode, we unpack why BAS feels overwhelming for so many business owners — and why the real issue isn’t the ATO, compliance, or even the payment itself.
It’s the gap between knowing something needs to be dealt with… and actually facing it.
Because when you avoid your BAS:
- You lose visibilit...
