Changing Your Business Mindset From Fragility To Security

Samantha Siffring Episode 21

I want to start off this week’s episode with a gentle, but important reminder for every business owner that comes across this podcast…

It takes a lot to break a business. I mean it. 


Think about all of the businesses you have EVER heard doing something “wrong, sketchy, or immoral”. 


Now think about how many of those have “closed up shop, gone under, etc”...


The ratio isn’t nearly as high as you might think. 


So then WHY is there this common mindset that a business that you create from scratch, is NOT as stable as a typical 9-5 job?


This is honestly one of my BIGGEST pet peeves, so this week, I invited Stuart onto the podcast to talk more about this.


Specifically, the way that so many entrepreneurs perceive their businesses to be fragile and less secure than a typical job, and how to shift your mindset around that.


We also give practical tips on managing the financial ups and downs that can come with business ownership - and how to give yourself more stability there.


You’ll learn:

  • How it is important to address the revenue ups and downs, or “money roller coaster” in your business
  • Why there is fear and hesitancy surrounding the idea of a business being a consistent revenue generator
  • How business owners should identify seasonal variations to foster a more steady financial forecast for each quarter
  • Why it might be beneficial to be slow to build, and be more aggressive about cutting expenses when you need to
