Hey there my friend! Are you staring down a big purchase for your business and feeling those classic nerves? Maybe it’s a flashy new piece of equipment, a software upgrade, or even a delivery van ... something that feels both exciting and a little bit terrifying because you know it could shape your business’s future.
In this episode, I’m taking you by the hand and walking you step-by-step through what actually matters before you hand over your hard-earned cash. I’m sharing real stories from my clients (including the florist who almost missed payroll because of a rushed decision... oops) and giving you the actual checklist I use to make sure a big investment pays off, not backfires.
Here’s what we’re getting into:
How to figure out if you genuinely need the purchase—or just want it (yep, tough love included).
The cash flow realities you might be forgetting.
Why your team needs a say and how skipping this can cost you thousands.
The stuff nobody tells you about long-term ROI and hidden costs.
Negotiation secrets that can keep more money in your pocket (seriously, one sentence could save you thousands).
How to plan for a smooth transition (because buying is only half the story).
By the end of this episode, you won’t just feel more confident about your next big business purchase .. you’ll have a plan and the right questions to ask so you can invest in your future without regret (or panic).
So, if you’re on the fence about that big buy, or you just want to make smarter money moves, grab your coffee (or something stronger .. no judgment) and dive in. Hit play now and let’s make your next big purchase one you’re proud of!
