| Good Debt Vs. Bad Debt - What Should You Do? | 14 nov. 2023 | 00:14:29 | |
“Debt does not mean you are bad with money, that you don't know how to do business, that you are not worthy. It is not something to be ashamed of. It's not something to feel guilty about. It just is.” - Shelagh Cummins Today we’re talking about debt, and the first thing I want to share with you is that it doesn’t need to be a word that brings on feeling of shame or guilt - debt is a tool, and in this episode of The Road To Seven Podcast I’m going to show you how to master it. I’m going to share with you a few examples of what bad debt is, and what can happen if you take on loans with high interest rates, and no opportunity for return on investment, or ROI. I’m also going to share examples from clients that I’ve worked with, who leveraged good debt in order to grow their businesses. No matter what, we all take on some form of debt at some point in our business journey, what’s important to remember is that you take on debt strategically, and you find a way to release the shame and guilt around any debt that you currently have, or will have in the future.

| Cash Flow Is The Life Blood Of Your Business | 07 nov. 2023 | 00:15:53 | |
“Just because you have profit doesn't mean you have great cash flow, and the only way to know if you're in the clear with your cash flow is to be tracking it, seeing it, and following it.” - Shelagh Cummins Your cash flow is the lifeblood of your company. It ensures that your business can meet its day to day operations, and it also is a tool for you to expand and scale. However, what so many entrepreneurs believe to be true, is that your revenue is equal to your cash flow, and that does not work when unexpected expenses pop up, or you need to make a major investment in your business in order to scale. Tune in, because I’ll be taking you through the three biggest misconceptions about cash flow that I see entrepreneurs struggling with all the time. Your revenue is not equal to your cash flow, a profitable business does not mean that you have strong cash flow, and that cash flow problems can only be solved with more sales. We’ll also discuss your financial practices, and I’ll share my strategies for solid financial practices with you, so that you can confidently tackle any cash flow problems your business may face in the future. Believe me when I say that on today’s episode of The Road To Seven Podcast you’re going to learn everything you need to know about cash flow, and how to make sure you have more than enough to keep your business running smoothly. In this episode of the Road to Seven podcast, you’ll discover:
Highlights: 00:01 Intro 02:00 Understanding the cash flow for your company 03:52 Your revenue is not equal to your cash flow 05:46 A profitable business does not mean you have strong cash flow 07:02 Misconception: Cash flow problems can only be solved with more sales 11:10 Cash flow and emotions 13:22 Weekly time to review Links: To work with me and make your next power move, visit: Stay Connected Like what you’re hearing?

| From Having Your Business Run You, To You Running Your Business | 26 sept. 2023 | 00:14:30 | |
“It all starts with that strategic decision that you're ready for your business to be bigger than you.” - Shelagh Cummins When you’re scaling your business, you’re faced with dozens, if not hundreds of new decisions every day. But the most important one is deciding what your “next level” looks like. That’s what today’s episode of The Road To Seven Podcast is all about. When you start to scale, your job shifts from being the doer, to the leader, and I know how difficult this can be. In this episode I talk about how to let go of responsibilities you once had, so that you can transition them to empowered employees. And yes, that means that you no longer jump in and “fix” the work they’ve done anymore. Your job is now to lead your team to do the best that they can. So there are two questions to get you to shift to running your business, from it running you. First, what is a strategic decision that you need to make today that's going to have the most impact on your business? And second, what is a fear that you can rewrite, overwrite, acknowledge, and move on from, in order to take action so that you can bring your business to the next level? In this episode of the Road to Seven podcast, you’ll discover:
Highlights: 00:01 Intro 01:50 Everything is rooted in a decision 02:36 Deciding what your next level looks like 05:37 Shifting responsibility to your team 07:50 Key questions for your team 08:11 Fear driving decisions 11:11 Raising your rates

Friends, that is exactly what I did last year, and in this episode of The Road To Seven Podcast I’m going to tell you exactly what starting fresh did for me. I gave myself the time and space to pull back from the edge of burnout, so that I could restructure my business from the inside out. That looked like cancelling programs I had been running for months (and years), resetting my offerings, and making sure that I was still financially contributing to my family. I wanted to share all of this with you today, because I believe that if you are not happy in your business, then it’s time for your business to change and support the life and dreams that you want to have and achieve. So tune in, because I’ve got a great episode for you today! In this episode of the Road to Seven podcast, you’ll discover:

| Are You Pricing for Profit? | 29 août 2023 | 00:32:20 | |
“If you're underpricing because you're trying to get more people to buy, you are literally going to get the bargain hunters, and bargain hunters have no loyalty.” - Shelagh Cummins Are you pricing your offers to pay the bills, or for profit? Many of the entrepreneurs that I work with find it incredibly challenging to properly price their offers, and end up making financial decisions for today, that leave money on the table for tomorrow. The reality is, not monitoring and knowing and understanding your numbers is actually impacting the growth of your company. Because you're either overspending, underspending, or you're just not making strategic decisions that are going to help you grow. Pricing too low is one of the biggest mistakes I see entrepreneurs make, because it is expensive to run a business. So in this episode of The Road To Seven podcast, I’m going to share with you a practical, step-by-step process to price your offers properly, so that you get more profit out of your business. In this episode of the Road to Seven podcast, you’ll discover:

| The Leadership Gap in 6 Figure Women Entrepreneurs | 01 août 2023 | 00:13:24 | |
“If you haven't hired people who are going to be key decision makers and have full autonomy over some functioning within your company, then you are never going to be able to let go of the reins and have this company be bigger than you.” - Shelagh Cummins Do you feel like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel in your business? Are you giving yourself dozens of reasons why you’re not ready to make crucial hiring decisions, and finding that it backfires on you more often than not? Then this is an episode for you. I hear entrepreneurs tell me every day that they’re burnt out, or they’re afraid that they won’t have the time freedom they truly want in their business because they’re taking on too many clients, but they won’t take courageous action and make a strategic hire, or make that phone call, or launch that program, that would alleviate all of these fears. But the reality is, with the right help in the right places, your business can generate more revenue and time freedom for you at the same time – you just have to be willing to lead yourself into letting go of control, and allow other people to come in and help. In this episode of the Road to Seven podcast, you’ll discover:
Highlights: 00:01 Intro 01:58 The Leadership Gap 04:53 The number one reason we don’t hire 05:58 What leading really means 07:11 Why you’re feeling so burnt out 08:01 Your ability to lead YOU 10:03 How I can help you get off the hamster wheel Links: To work with me and make your next power move, visit: Stay Connected Like what you’re hearing?
