#36 What is Your Business Burn Rate? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
🔥 How quickly is your business burning through its cash? And perhaps the more important question… If sales suddenly slowed down, how long could your business keep going? Three months? Six months? A couple of weeks? Or do you genuinely have no idea? This week's episode of Figures Without Fear is all about your business burn rate — one of those numbers that sounds very corporate, but that I think every small business owner should understand.

You’ve answered emails, completed admin, tweaked your website and created content, but have any of those activities generated income, improved the business or moved a customer closer to buying? In this episode of Figures Without Fear, I’m asking one important question: Where are you spending your hours?
#32 The Hidden Profit in Retention (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You might not need more customers. You might just need to keep the ones you already have for longer. In this episode of Figures Without Fear, I’m exploring the hidden profit in customer retention and why constantly chasing new leads may not be the best or most profitable growth strategy for your business. We’ll look at why customers leave, how to create a better experience that encourages them to stay, and why making a clear next offer is not pushy when it genuinely helps them move forward. You’
