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!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
