Financial Planning for Small Business Owners

#178: Are you stuck trying to find a way to motivate yourself with those tasks you really don't like to do?

Are you uncertain about how to scale your business from a financial perspective or unsure what to keep an eye on as you start out?

This can definitely seem daunting and may be the reason why you're afraid to start building your business, which is why I've asked today's guest on the show.

In this episode, Audrey Godwin shares with us what we need to pay attention to when it comes to our finances as we build a business from startup all the way to 7+ figures!

Audrey Godwin is an award-winning entrepreneur who teaches women entrepreneurs and professionals how to confidently fund their lifestyle for their lifetime and leave a legacy that is meaningful to the people and causes they love.

Over her twenty-year career as a CPA and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Audrey helped hundreds of clients implement strategies that allowed them to keep more of what they make and build wealth according to what is important to them.

Audrey created the Position 4 Profit™ framework because she recognized that having tools and worksheets alone did not create lasting transformation for financial sustainability and generational wealth.

Audrey’s financial success tips have been featured on NBC, The Seattle Times, the News Tribune, Influencers radio, and blogtalkradio.
