Episode notes

How much cash is hiding in your business? See if you qualify for a Free Financial Health Check Financial Intelligence Toolkit Revenue is up. The team is growing. There is no shortage of work. And somehow the business feels harder to run than when it was half the size. More stress, more decisions, more fires, and at the same time less margin, less cash, less clarity. In this episode Steve breaks down exactly why this happens and why it is almost never an operations problem. It is a structure problem. He walks through the specific traps that make growth feel like punishment and what it actually takes to fix them. _______________________________________ Disclaimer: The views expressed here are those of the individual Coltivar Group, LLC (“Coltivar”) personnel quoted and are not the views of Coltivar or its affiliates.
