Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail Entrepreneurship isn't a straight line. It's messy, unpredictable, and sometimes a complete sh*t show. This week, I sat down with Taunya Woods Richardson, founder of Nail the Numbers, with 30 years of entrepreneurial experience. We went everywhere. From the peaks and valleys of building something from scratch to losing $250,000 and rebuilding from the ground up, to the financial empowerment work she's been doing ever since to make sure no other founder has to go through what she went through alone. Buckle up. This one is a ride. Episode Highlights The difference between delegating your numbers and abdicating them - and why handing your books to a bookkeeper does not mean you get to stop paying attention. Why net profit is the number that actually matters, and why 89% of business owners are generating less than 3% return on their business investment, while a high-interest savings account gets you 4.5 to 6%. The three Ps holding female founders back: underpricing, underpaying ourselves and under-profiting. Glinda - the free, non-judgmental AI financial guide that takes founders through building their first financial plan in under three hours.
