Uncovering hidden savings in your business

We see so many business owners run themselves ragged trying to bring in more revenue and almost always new revenue, too. But have you examined who your business is “donating” to… a.k.a. those pesky subscriptions that you’re paying each month and aren’t using? In January, we did an inventory of all the potential “extras” we had been paying for on a monthly basis. We trimmed the fat, saving well over $2k per month by just hitting the cancel button on these subscriptions we don’t use! That’s $24k per year back in our pocket without the stress of figuring out how we’re going to cover those expenses.  In this week's episode, we share... * how you can do an inventory and decide which subscriptions to cut, * how much you can save * and how it will remove that frenetic energy of feeling like you need more sales to cover your expenses

Employee or subcontractor: who should you hire?

You're looking to grow your team! But who do you bring on? An employee? A subcontractor? Which makes the most sense for you and your business? These are the questions we bring to the table for this week's episode. Takeaways: * Having a support team of professionals such as attorneys, insurance brokers, mentors, and bookkeepers is crucial for small business owners. * Clear communication and goal-setting are essential when working with subcontractors. * Subcontractors can bring flexibility and nimbleness to a business, allowing for quick decision-making and responsiveness. * Subcontractors are not just a stepping stone to hiring employees; they can be a long-term solution for business growth. * Business owners should consult with advisors, analyze their financials, and consider their specific needs before deciding whether to hire employees or subcontractors.
