Most business owners want to grow their income—but too many ignore the financial strategy that makes that growth sustainable. In this episode, I’m joined by Gala McCray, founder of Two Arrows, a boutique financial consultancy that helps service-based professionals gain clarity, confidence, and control in their numbers.
We dive into the difference between revenue and profit, what financial sustainability really looks like, and why diversifying your income streams is crucial—especially when you're building or scaling an online course or membership.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why your most popular offer could be your biggest risk.
- The financial blind spots that keep course creators from scaling.
- How to spot the warning signs in your numbers before they cost you.
- What to consider if you want your program to be truly profitable.
Whether you're about to launch or already selling, this episode will help you make smarter, more strategic financial decisions so your online program can grow and thrive long-term.
