What is the most urgent crisis that any business can face?

If you've ever been in a pinch over cash flow, you understand just how much pressure and stress that can place on a business.

It clouds your decision making, puts you into desperation, and can cause massive disruption to your operations and team.

Having been in this situation once in a prior business, cash flow is now something that I'm particular about keeping an eye on. And I know that there's more I can do to level up my own understanding of how to best navigate ongoing cash flow considerations.

Which is why I was excited to connect with Peter Kingma, author of CASH IS KING. Kingma has thirty years of experience helping companies drive operational resilience with better cash management. In his book he offers his unparalleled perspective on the necessity of developing a "cash culture."

We discuss:

• Cash flow management and its importance in business
• Managing cash flow and metrics for business success
• Financial planning, inventory management, and forecasting demand
• Cash flow management and leadership in business

Developing a cash culture and firm grasp on your financial operations is a game changer at any level of business growth. I know you'll find that it's just as important for maintaining business operations as it is for scaling your business.

This whole world we live in is amazing. The way we can connect with people the way we can get aligned with people and meet people in online in a way that just wasn't possible a couple years ago.

And I know I'm preaching to the choir, you all do that the same. And it's really fun how, when we're in our businesses, when we're running it, it can feel very stifling. If you let it, it can feel like the walls are closing in around, you can feel like you got this whole big weight on your shoulders. But that doesn't mean you have to do it alone. As a matter of fact, the most inspirational leaders that I've ever worked with in my entire life, still have coaches.

It's knowing that you don't know it all. It's knowing that you need help knowing that you it's not that you're not enough, it's that you are an unfinished product. And I think that's a very healthy thing to to just recognize and say I'm unfinished. I'm not perfect, I need someone else, if nothing else, to point me in the right direction when I need it, to keep me moving forward, because that's what growing is all about.

Which is why I am super excited to have Joe Calloway with me. Joe is a performance coach and advisor who helps great companies get even better. So he's an author, coach, speaker and his client list reads like, whoa, who are these people? He's the author of four ground-breaking business books, including becoming a category of one how extraordinary companies transcend commodity and defy comparison, which received rave reviews from the New York Times.

We discuss:

• The idea of having a simple mantra or phrase that can guide the team and have tactical application
• The value of coaching and exchanging ideas.
• Leadership, management, and caring for employees.
• Developing a "filter system" for ideal types of clients to work with

This was an incredible episode that I am so proud to have been part of! If you're not connected with Joe already, do yourself a favor and take a listen to this episode.

What does your team need from you during times of change?

Change is inevitable in a business and you will encounter this at some point during your career. It can come from many places including opportunity, crisis, chaos, or turnover. But the process is very similar.

I've been on both sides of these situations (and I'm sure you have as well)

As you're navigating these waters, don't forget about your team. They're feeling the same apprehensions as you. The same fears and same uncertainty.

How you lead in this situation will determine the ultimate success of your strategy.
