What if one simple weekly habit could completely transform the way you manage your business? In this conversation, Danielle sits down with Cathi Nelson, CEO and founder of The Photo Managers, to talk about how she went from overwhelmed and unsure about her finances to confidently running a thriving business. Cathi shares how a weekly review of her numbers, consistent support from her Kickstart Accounting money team, and small, sustainable financial habits helped her make smarter decisions. She went from saying, "I'm just not a numbers person," to hiring her first full-time employee and planning big investments for growth without having to "make it work" as she went along. Key Takeaways:  Small, Consistent Habits Lead to Big Financial Confidence: By reviewing her numbers weekly, Cathi turned what used to feel overwhelming into a manageable, empowering routine. Understanding Your Cash Flow Means Planning, Not Panicking: Cathi now knows her lean months in advance, sets aside funds, and avoids financial surprises. Your Numbers Can Guide Smart Hiring Decisions & Retain Great Team Members: Using her reports, Cathi confidently brought on new team members and offered well-deserved raises without second-guessing if she could afford it.  A Simple Report Brings Big-Picture Clarity: Categorizing her income into four main revenue streams helped Cathi understand which parts of her business drive the most profit. You Don't Need to be a "Numbers Person": Let go of the shame around financial knowledge! Being the CEO of your business doesn't mean doing it all; it means creating systems and support that let you shine in your zone of genius. Topics Discussed: (00:00) Intro: Cathi's Background and Her Business, The Photo Managers (01:59) Why She Used to Feel "Lost" Looking at Her Financials—and What Changed (03:35) How the Weekly Habit of Reviewing Her Numbers Helped Her Business  (06:39) The Power of Having a Consistent Bookkeeping Team Behind Her (09:00) Promo Break: Kickstart Accounting's "Check Your Books" Service (10:16) Simplified Reports That Give a High Level Overview & Not Being In Spreadsheets (11:53) How Using Her Numbers Helped Her Hire and Give Raises with Confidence (15:46) The Mindset Shift That Ended Her Imposter Syndrome Around Money (19:13) Outro: Connect with Kickstart Accounting and Share Your Story on Business by The Books   About Our Guest: Cathi Nelson is the founder and CEO of The Photo Managers, a growing global community of entrepreneurs who help families and businesses organize and preserve their photos, videos, and memories.

Wolfgang Hammer - The Power of Story - [Invest Like the Best, EP.447] My guest today is my friend Wolfgang Hammer. Wolfgang is a successful film producer and executive who helped create House of Cards and ran several major studios, including Lionsgate, CBS Films and Miramax. He's now building a new kind of film studio with support from Mitch Lasky and Marc Andreessen. Wolfgang also helps founders and CEOs use storytelling to better understand what they do, and why it matters. In many ways, this conversation is a manual for how to find that story and communicate it in a way that resonates. Wolfgang shares the questions and tools he gives leaders to help them do the same. Our conversation explores how stories work, what great ones have in common, and why understanding your own story can be transformative. We talk about the three layers every story must have — the external, the emotional, and the philosophical — and how they apply to building companies and leading people. So many CEOs — at both startups and massive fortune 100 companies — have Wolfgang to thank for changing how they think and talk about their business, and I hope this episode gives you the tools to do the same. Please enjoy my conversation with the great Wolfgang Hammer.

I sat down with Cara Chatellier, the founder and creative director of Bubbly Creative, to talk about something that hits home for every small business owner, the little things. You know, those simple, doable tweaks that don't require a rebrand or a six-month strategy sprint, yet somehow manage to make your marketing sparkle. Cara calls them her “five tiny fixes,” and I couldn't wait to dig in. Cara's agency focuses on helping women-led service businesses stand out with personality and polish. Her approach is rooted in storytelling, strategy, and plenty of real-world experience. What I love about her “tiny fixes” is that they're both practical and immediately actionable, the kind of steps that give you momentum while you're building toward the big picture. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: 1. Show Your Face Cara's first piece of advice is one that makes many small business owners squirm: put yourself out there. Literally. Swap the stock photos and text-heavy posts for images of you and your team. A professional photo shoot is worth the investment, not just because it looks great, but because it builds trust. When people can see who they're working with, they're more likely to connect and buy. 2. Don't Ignore Google Business Think of your Google Business Profile as a free billboard that most folks forget to update. Add photos, post updates, and ask for client reviews. Even with AI changing how people search, Google still looks inward first. Keeping your profile fresh helps you stay visible and relevant. 3. Ask for Feedback, the Right Way Sometimes, the best marketing insights come from the people you want to reach, not the ones already on your team. Cara suggests gathering a small group from your target audience, maybe five to ten people, and asking them to look at your content, website, or social posts. No sales pitch, just honest opinions. You might be surprised by what they see that you don't. 4. Tell Your Story on Video This is the one that makes even confident entrepreneurs gulp: video. Cara swears by it because it humanizes your brand faster than any post or blog ever could. Start small, a short clip about your founder story or a behind-the-scenes look at your work. If you're nervous, use a teleprompter app or jot down a few bullet points to stay on track. And if you really can't face the camera yet, write out your story and share it with a few photos. Then revisit it every six months as a reintroduction to your audience. 5. Stay Curious (and Keep Learning) Cara's fifth tip was the one we didn't have time to cover on the show, a little mystery to encourage you to head over to Bubbly Creative and discover the rest for yourself. Trust me, it's worth it. Key Takeaways A few small tweaks can give your marketing fresh energy without overwhelming your to-do list. Personal photos and video build connection and credibility faster than any stock image ever will. Google Business is free, underused, and powerful, make it part of your content routine. Feedback from your ideal audience is marketing gold; you just have to ask. The more you share your authentic story, the more magnetic your brand becomes. If you want to dive deeper into Cara's “tiny fixes,” head over to Bubbly Creative and check out her insights. Because sometimes, it's not the sweeping overhaul that changes your business, it's the little things you finally take the time to do.
