The 15-Minute Money Health Check Every CEO Should Do This Week

March 30, 2026 • Harman • Episode 45

0:00 | 6:33

Harman Johnston outlines a 15 minute money health check built around five questions to help business owners regain financial control: know your current profit percentage, know how many months of operating expenses you have saved, pay yourself a consistent owner’s wage, separate tax money so it is not spent from the operating account, and track what has changed in expenses over the last 90 days. She explains that revenue without profit and visibility creates stress, that a cash runway reduces urgency, and that expense drift quietly shrinks margins. Her key takeaway is to block 15 minutes this week to answer the five questions with real numbers, and consider Profit First for clearer allocation and structure.
