They worked for their money, but their money was not working for them.The conversation explores the financial weaknesses exposed by economic shocks, including insufficient cash reserves, excessive dependence on one income source and the danger of pursuing revenue without understanding profit or cash flow.You’ll discover:Why owning a business does not automatically produce financial freedomHow to define the lifestyle and destination the business needs to fundWhy revenue can become a dangerous vanity metricThe difference between delegating financial management and abdicating responsibilitySeven financial levers that influence profitability and cash flowHow to work backwards from a realistic profit targetWhy the economic recovery can be more dangerous than the recessionWhen a struggling company needs to reduce costs and preserve cashWhy entrepreneurs must adapt before their businesses become irrelevantHow to separate personal wealth from dependence on one companyYour business should provide the profit, cash and eventual independence required to build the life you want.If all your wealth, income and decision-making remain trapped inside a company that cannot operate without you, you may own the shares—but the business still owns you.Learn more about Jackson Millan and Aureus Financial:https://www.aureusfinancial.com.au/CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAHWebsite: https://www.boolkah.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoolkahX: https://twitter.com/boolkahABOUT PETER BOOLKAHPeter Boolkah is a business coach, author and speaker who has spent more than 20 years helping business owners build stronger, more valuable businesses that do not depend on them for everything.He is the creator of The Hamster Wheel Trap® and author of Your Business Sucks: Build a Business That Works Without Destroying Your Life.Peter works with founders and leadership teams on the issues that ultimately determine whether a business creates freedom or becomes another job: leadership, founder dependency, people, profit, execution, scaling, exit readiness and enterprise value.His approach is direct, practical and built around one simple question:Do you own the business, or does the business own you?Learn more at https://www.boolkah.com
