In this episode of from a Facebook Live, Annette shares her insights on the hardest lesson she had to learn as a small business owner. She discusses her experiences with hiring and firing, time management, and the importance of cash management in a business.
Annette explains that while she struggled with hiring and firing, she learned that ultimately, the buck stops with the business owner. She emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for your business in order to achieve success.
She also stresses the importance of time management, setting boundaries, and analyzing how your time is spent in order to be more efficient and effective in your business.
However, Annette's biggest lesson came from understanding the importance of cash management. She discusses how for years, she thought that revenue growth would solve her business's financial problems. But it wasn't until she read the book "Profit First" and implemented its strategies that things changed for her. Annette realized that focusing on profitability and cash management was key to getting more money home from her business.
Annette concludes by encouraging her audience to read "Profit First" and to focus on cash management regularly in their businesses. She also announces that next week's topic will be on pricing and the cost of living in a crisis.
Overall, Annette's insights provide valuable lessons for small business owners on the importance of taking responsibility for their businesses, time management, and cash management.
