The Science of Marketing with Ronii Bartles

Scaling Your Business While Still Making A Profit with Carla Titus

In this episode, I'm talking to finance expert Carla Titus about scaling a business while still making a profit. I'll admit at the top: looking at numbers is my least favorite business-owner-y task, regardless of whether I have a slow month or a huge boom! I'd rather be building relationships, designing beautiful marketing assets, constructing efficient systems - anything but staring at a spreadsheet! BUT - without making a habit of knowing exactly what kind of cash is flowing in and out of the business, the business wouldn't exist! Carla gives us actionable advice for:  * Important things to keep on our monthly to-do list and costly mistakes to avoid * What to do when you're ready to introduce a new revenue stream and how that might affect the business you've worked hard to already build * Prioritizing resources that support your pre-set goals * Paying yourself consistently  * Planning ahead to avoid surprises and straighten out the revenue rollercoaster * What kind of help you may need at different phases of business No matter where you are in your business journey, these are great reminders to pull you out of your day-to-day, take an objective look at your numbers, and feel empowered to achieve financial clarity and peace of mind!

Productivity "Hacks" with Brittany Dixon

Put the sticky notes away, take a deep breath, and get ready to make some space in your calendar to take control of your life! Not just your work-life, your whole life. This week’s caller is busier than she can fathom, and is in dire need of a schedule detox. She still has to market, reach new people, and keep her back office running all on top of the actual coaching calls that make her the big bucks and make her heart happy.    I brought in productivity queen Brittany Dixon to chat with me all about: * Our shared experiences in the events industry and how our chaos-controlling skills translated to running an online business * Combating ‘shiny object syndrome’ with ideas, tools, systems, and fun tasks vs must-dos * Noticing the signs that you’re about to hit the bottom of the rollercoaster, feeling like you “have no idea what you’re doing,” and occasionally wanting to burn it all down (but we don’t!) * Things to remind yourself of when you inevitably reach that level of burnout and overwhelm, and what non-negotiable necessities you should have in your back pocket to help you push past it * Avoiding the email inbox black hole * Organizing your digital workspace so no time is wasted looking for things, digging around for passwords, and getting distracted with digital clutter in general Free Resources: * Toggl Time Tracker [https://toggl.com/] * Download Alina’s Efficiency Scorecard [https://alinascarcella.com/efficiency] * Check out Brittany’s Digital Workspace Training [https://www.theproductivitypod.co/digital-workspace]  * Join the Productivity Pod Community [https://www.theproductivitypodcommunity.co/] * Subscribe to the Productivity Pod(cast) [https://www.theproductivitypodcast.co/] and Days By Design [https://www.theproductivitypod.co/privatepodcast] Follow Alina Scarcella: Website - alinascarcella.com [https://alinascarcella.com/] Instagram - instagram.com/alina.scarcella [https://www.instagram.com/alina.scarcella/] Follow Brittany Dixon: Website - bcohq.co [https://bcohq.co/] Instagram - instagram.com/brittanyandco.consulting [https://www.instagram.com/brittanyandco.consulting/] Facebook - facebook.com/brittanyandco.consulting [https://www.facebook.com/brittanyandco.consulting] LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/brittanyjdixon [https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittanyjdixon]
