Legacy Leader on Profitability: Melissa Houston

“Getting more wealth into the hands of women creates a better global economy.” — Melissa Houston Women have the incredible power to change the world. But first, we need to get a handle on our money. That’s the truth of it. As entrepreneurs, many women avoid looking at their finances altogether because they lack confidence in their ability to understand and take meaning from the numbers they see on the screen. Today on The Legacy Lounge Podcast, my friend and client Melissa Houston is joining me to help dispel some of the permeating financial fears and to help us all start building some more cash confidence and a healthy money mindset.

She loves teaching entrepreneurs how to manage their business finances. The more information and resources Melissa can get out to people, the happier she is.

I know after listening to this episode that Melissa will inspire you to take the reins of your business finances to start measuring your profitability and work toward living your legacy now!
