I’m the Money First CEO. Over the past 5 years, I’ve grown a sustainable 6-figure business and built a 7-figure investment portfolio, not by working harder, but by managing money differently.

This podcast shares the real habits, honest lessons, and simple strategies that helped me and can help you build a business that puts profit and peace first.

If you’re ready to feel more confident with your cash and create long-term stability, you’re in the right place. New episodes every Monday.

Stop Chasing Growth – Start Building Stability

August 04, 2025 • Harman • Season 1 • Episode 14

In this episode of Money First, CEO, I challenge the popular belief that constant growth equals success. While rapid revenue increases and a growing client list might look great on paper, if you're overwhelmed, underpaid, or spinning your wheels – it’s time to rethink what sustainable success really looks like.

I walk you through how to pause the hustle, build strong financial foundations, and stabilise your business operations. I share insights from my own experience and that of clients who’ve grown fast but lacked the systems to support it – and what we did to fix it.

If you’re done with burnout and ready to grow profitably, peacefully and sustainably, this episode will help you shift your focus from chaos to clarity.

Key Topics Covered:

The real cost of chasing growth without strategy
How to spot if your business is “busy” but not healthy
Four essential foundations: Pricing, Systems, Paycheck, and Cash Flow
How to measure business health beyond revenue
My story of growing fast, burning out, and rebuilding
Questions to ask before you scale or launch anything new
The CEO Challenge: Stabilise before you grow
