Is your business truly ready for an unexpected setback? In this episode, I dive deep into a topic that’s often overlooked but absolutely crucial for long-term success: contingency planning for your business finances.
Every business, no matter how successful, is bound to hit rough patches. But it’s not the setback that determines your business’s fate—it’s how you respond. Prepare to unpack practical, actionable strategies that go beyond hope and guesswork. This episode outlines why having a solid contingency plan isn’t about being paranoid; it’s about putting yourself in control, even when life throws you a financial curveball.
Here’s what you’ll get out of this episode:
-
Real talk on risk: Why it’s not a question of “if” something will go wrong, but “when”—and how to stop pushing this uncomfortable truth to the back of your mind.
-
Step-by-step planning: A breakdown of the essentials of building a contingency plan tailored to your business, from identifying risks and setting up emergency funds, to embracing flexible operations.
-
Actionable tips: Learn how to start saving for a rainy day—even when cash flow is tight—and why regularly reviewing your financials could save your business before trouble spirals out of control.
-
Team & solo advice: Whether you're managing a team or are a solo operator, I share how communication and preparedness can keep you steady in a storm.
-
Next steps you can take today: Not sure where to begin? I encourage you to take small, manageable actions this week—like assessing your business risks and starting that emergency fund.
