by 37 Business Planning

From cash flow and pricing to operations, leadership, market position, and owner dependence, John challenges the idea that more revenue, more activity, or more hustle automatically means a healthier business. More revenue isn’t always growth. More activity isn’t growth. Let’s talk about what is.
