The 15-Minute Money Health Check Every CEO Should Do This Week

Harman Johnston outlines a 15 minute money health check built around five questions to help business owners regain financial control: know your current profit percentage, know how many months of operating expenses you have saved, pay yourself a consistent owner’s wage, separate tax money so it is not spent from the operating account, and track what has changed in expenses over the last 90 days. She explains that revenue without profit and visibility creates stress, that a cash runway reduces urgency, and that expense drift quietly shrinks margins. Her key takeaway is to block 15 minutes this week to answer the five questions with real numbers, and consider Profit First for clearer allocation and structure.00:00 Podcast Welcome00:57 15 Minute Money Check01:42 Question 1 Profit Percent02:32 Question 2 Cash Runway03:16 Question 3 CEO Pay04:00 Question 4 Tax Separation04:31 Question 5 Expense Drift05:12 System Over Motivation05:42 15 Minute Action Plan06:04 Wrap Up And Next🎧 Thanks for listening to the Money First CEO Podcast!If this episode helped you move the needle, make sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.Link to expense review🔗 Where to Find Harman:Website: www.blubookkeepers.com.auInstagram: @blubookkeepers    Facebook: @blubookkeepersauTikTok: @profitwithharmanLinkedIn: Harman Johnston📞 Ready to Take Control of Your Business Finances?Book a Free Discovery Call here📩 Have a Question or Want to Be a Guest?Email me directly at: [email protected]
