Show Notes: Curtis May, a financial advisor and host of the Practical Wealth Show podcast, who shares his approach to mastering cash flow management joins Gary on the podcast. Curtis explains his philosophy on cash flow management, emphasizing the importance of paying yourself first, just as you would your employees, and setting aside money for taxes. He recommends creating a profit-and-loss statement weekly and allocating 15% of gross revenue for owners' pay. Curtis highlights the importance of building a business that generates passive income and assets that produce income without active involvement. He advises business owners to focus on creating a business that can operate independently, rather than relying on active income from their business. Curtis stresses the need for a solid financial foundation before investing and cautions against placing money in a 401(k) or other investment vehicles that may limit liquidity and control. Instead, he recommends investing in cash-flowing assets like real estate or notes that provide a steady income stream. Curtis concludes by recommending Jay Abraham's book, "Business Without Risk," as a resource for business owners looking to grow their revenue without spending money on advertising.
