Nate Littlewood, fractional CFO and mentor, is on today's episode to shed some light on the 3 most common financial challenges that affects most e-commerce entrepreneurs and talks about how to fix them. He talks about the ways you can optimize inventory, cash flow, and reduce overhead costs.  Get mystery shopped for your brand and 2 competitors of your choice FOR FREE! Stord will provide a detailed report that outlines the specific areas you are out performing your competitors and where your competitors are outperforming you. Learn how your consumers truly experience your brand today! Cash flow is king when it comes to e-commerce businesses.  More often than not business owners need to use debt to order more inventory, while keeping the price the same.  Does that really make sense if all your profit ends up going to your SBA loan leaving you with nothing?  It doesn't.  That's why in today's episode we have Nate Littlewood on the podcast. He's a fractional CFO with a background in finance, and he helps e-commerce entrepreneurs figure out how they can improve their finance literacy. He's on the podcast today to talk about the 3 ways e-commerce businesses can improve their profit margins so they  can start feeling their bank accounts grow.    The Big Takeaways Many entrepreneurs have most of their cash flow tied up in inventory, making business cash flow a huge struggle.  Fixing inventory can be an easy way to gain back some cash flow which makes your business more nimble and adaptable. Every now and then, you should assume that your SaaS budget is zero and make a case for why certain tools need to be purchased again. The 80-20 rule or The Pareto principle should help you with deciding which products to axe and which to keep. Offering more product variations does not lead to linear increased sales. Having low cash flow stops your business from growing faster than it could. Investing in supply chain optimization can also free up cash flow for your business.

We sit down with Mark, the founder of SimpleHedge, to discuss how his platform is changing the way farmers manage price risk. After building a successful career in the tech world—working at Meta and McKinsey—Mark turned his attention to agriculture, recognizing a gap in farmer-accessible risk management tools.Mark explains that while hedging is essential for protecting farm revenue, it's long been confusing, expensive, and out of reach for most producers. SimpleHedge aims to fix that, providing a platform that delivers clear recommendations, personalized strategies, and confidence—without requiring a background in trading.He walks us through how the platform works, how it pulls and analyzes market data, and how it customizes strategies based on a user's unique operation. We also cover farmer concerns around safety and control—highlighting how SimpleHedge provides guided recommendations, not hands-off execution, and how users can get started without connecting sensitive accounts.Throughout the episode, Mark shares real-world success stories, ROI examples, and where the future of tech-enabled farm risk management is headed. Whether you're a seasoned marketer or just getting started with options and futures, this conversation demystifies a topic that can make or break a year's profit. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1100: Franchised dealerships saw a 22% profit surge in Q2, led by strong gains in import and domestic brands. Ford unveiled a high-tech electric Bronco, but it's only for China. Meanwhile, Tesla opened its retro-style diner and drive-in in Hollywood, complete with Superchargers, rooftop views, and robot service.Franchised dealerships saw a big jump in net profits this quarter as customers rushed to buy before tariffs hit, according to the Q2 2025 Presidio-NCM Benchmark.

PepsiCo (PEP) rallied on today's earnings, with Alexis Browne Roberts noting a "surprisingly resilient" consumer lifting the numbers. However, she still wouldn't buy the stock even after today's report, giving the case that today's earnings were only "less bad" than it could have been. Dale Smothers still sees the stock as a strong dividend play. One bearish take he gives is America's Ozempic Effect" that will hit PepsiCo's snack profits.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

How do you create world-changing impact and lasting profits at the same time? In this inspiring episode, host Nicole Jansen sits down with Kurt Avery, the founder of Sawyer—the company renowned for its cutting-edge products protecting people against sun, bugs, waterborne disease, and injuries worldwide. But Sawyer's story isn't just one of innovation and growth: it's a powerful example of what happens when service, strategic thinking, and generosity fuel a business model. Since 2008, Sawyer has donated over 90% of its profits annually, working alongside 40 charities in 80 countries and transforming the lives of more than 28 million people.

Creative Destruction Drives Lasting Growth – Businesses must embrace constant change in laws, culture, and technology to thrive. Future-Proof Skills Are Decision-Driven – With AI taking over analysis, the most valuable skill will be high-level decision-making—learn how to think, not just what. Hiring for Thinking, Not Just Doing – Assess candidates' real-world logic, not just their credentials; team diversity in thinking styles is critical. Find Profit In the Denominator – True profitability usually comes from reducing capital investment and inventory, not just upping your sale price. Keep Your Equity—Use Vendor Financing and Loans – Giving away business equity isn't necessary and often isn't in investors' best interests; be creative about funding. Bake Legacy Into Your Foundation – Transformational businesses write their values, model, and succession plans into their DNA—plan to outlast yourself. Generosity Multiplies Results – Paying employees well, leading with purpose, and putting others first creates loyalty, quality, and joy throughout an organization. Favorite Quotes “You've got to change behavior. You can give them a product, but if they don't change behavior, they're not going to use the product.” “Profits are made in the denominator, not the numerator… margins are hard to increase, but investment can be reduced.” “There are no U-Hauls in heaven—it's not about the money. We're making too much change to sell out.” Explore how you can boost profits, change lives, and leave a legacy—with insights you can put to work in your business today.

In this episode, I'm diving into a conversation that might annoy some people, but it's a conversation that needs to be had. We've got a leadership crisis in our industry. Not because people don't care, but because too many salon owners don't realise what they signed up for when they opened their doors. Leadership isn't optional. It's the job.This episode is for every salon owner who wants their team to succeed but feels stuck, frustrated, or just plain exhausted. I'll break down why so many stylists aren't earning what they could be and why that's partially due to the leadership (or lack of it) they're working under. If you want a business that thrives and a team that sticks around, this one's for you.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Intro and recap of episode 291[02:15] The leadership gap that's hurting our industry[03:01] Why poor leadership creates poor productivity and pay[04:22] The difference between wanting to be paid more and earning more[06:45] The uncomfortable truth: it is about money[07:17] When the tail is wagging the dog, owners who've lost control[09:59] What real leadership looks like in successful businesses[11:42] Why people will leave and why that's okay[13:39] Leading by example (not micromanaging)[15:30] Why we avoid leadership and why it's still worth itWant MORE to help you GROW?

The diagnosis you never want to hear from your accountant: your business is an expensive hobby! Instead of creating profit and freedom that supports you to live your life, it might feel more like it's taking over and keeping you from what you really want to be doing… right? If you've ever wondered what profitable businesses are really doing differently - or if you just wish finances felt a little less intimidating - this episode is made for you. This week, I'm sitting down with Tana Kramer, profitability consultant and founder of TK Solutions. Tana isn't your typical finance expert. She's warm, energetic, and passionate about helping women design businesses that actually fund the life they want - whether that's more freedom, more time, or even travelling the country with an RV (yep, she's done it!). With decades of experience across industries from content creation to wellness clinics, Tana knows exactly where business owners get stuck…and how to help them get clear and confident with their numbers. Here's a taste of what we're unpacking in this conversation: Why does profitability matter far more than just “making money” - and what's the real difference between revenue goals and profit goals? What's a profitability consultant actually do that your accountant doesn't - and how can this relationship transform your business decisions (and your stress levels)? How do you start identifying the hidden leaks or outdated activities that might be draining your profit (and your energy) without you even realising it? What are some easy, non-scary routines to build your confidence with finances - even if spreadsheets make you want to run and hide? How did Tana build a flexible, location-independent business - without sacrificing client results (and what practical steps can you take to do the same)? Ready to lighten the mental load, banish the overwhelm, and start seeing your business produce the income you know is possible? Tune in for practical tips, warm encouragement, and stories that might just inspire your next big step. Listen in - I promise, finance can be fun! About our guest: Tana Kramer, founder of TK Solutions, is a Profitability Strategist and Guide who has dedicated her career to empowering entrepreneurs, especially women leaders, to achieve sustainable growth and financial success. From answering phones at her father's small-town glass shop to managing complex financial operations for large companies, Tana's journey reflects her deep-rooted passion for helping businesses thrive. With a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and Management from Arizona State University and decades of experience across diverse industries—including content creators, personal development leaders, service providers, and lifestyle apparel brands, to name a few—Tana brings a wealth of knowledge to her work.

Perfectionism will hold you back more than it will push you forward, especially in entrepreneurship... The best antidote to the imposter syndrome is action." - Angie Callen "Your relationship, your personal relationship, your spouse, the person you choose to do life with will have just as much, if not more impact on the success of your business as you, because if you do not have a supportive one, you will not be successful." - Angie Callen "I think successful entrepreneurship is 80% mindset and 20% everything else. Because if your headspace isn't there and you don't have a little of that grit and a little of that conviction around what you're doing, the roller coaster of ups and downs... is going to make you real sick real fast." - Angie Callen "From a bigger picture strategy perspective, focus on one thing at a time, chunk it down because growing a business is a giant amorphous blob that is really hard to make sense of." - Angie Callen Guest Links Find Angie Callen online Listen to the No More Mondays podcast Learn more about The Modern Coach community Follow Career Benders on Instagram | Facebook Follow Angie Callen on Instagram Links Stop hiding and start showing up; learn more about the Video Cohort Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group  Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes

Daily Study: What holds most Christians in business back from maximal success is this nagging question in the back of their mind: Is pursuing money okay? This uncertainty has them charging less money than they should or wanting to give their products and services away for free. Due to worldly and churchly pressures, we are inundated with messages that say making money is bad, from Hollywood to the Pulpit. They see the pursuit of profit in business as a necessary evil at best, and at worst they see pursuing profit as taking from society and the poor. There are very few things that the world and the church agree on, and it seems like that they both have deemed pursuing profit as bad. However, this thought process will hold you back from fulfilling what God has called you to do in business.

Republicans' freshly passed spending bill sets aside $45 billion just to expand immigration detention centers. And a number of private companies are poised to profit from the surge in funding. On the show today, Deirdre Conlon, co-author of the new book “Immigration Detention Inc" explains how immigration detention became dominated by private companies, how local economies have become entangled with the business of detention, and how Trump's spending law changes everything.Plus, we'll celebrate a listener's cross-country move. And, a reminder to try being a local tourist.Here's everything we talked about today:"Trump got $170 billion for immigration. Now he has to enact it." from Politico "We Asked Trump's Former Prisons Chief How $45 Billion Will Reshape Immigrant Detention" from Mother Jones"Budget Bill Massively Increases Funding for Immigration Detention" from the Brennan Center for Justice"Trump administration seeks to turn mass deportations into an efficient business ‘like Amazon'" from PBS News"Unchecked Growth: Private Prison Corporations and Immigration Detention, Three Years Into the Biden Administration" from the ACLUGot a question for the hosts?
