In this episode of Small Business Pivots, I sit down with Michael Morrison to tackle the challenges business owners face when it comes to growth and profitability. This conversation is packed with actionable advice for entrepreneurs ready to break free from financial uncertainty and transform their businesses into cash-flowing, sustainable enterprises.

What We’re Talking About:

• Why Revenue Isn’t the Goal
  Too many business owners chase revenue, but revenue alone won’t create stability. I explain why focusing on profitability and cash flow gives you the freedom you’re looking for—and how to shift your mindset to get there.
• Scaling Without Sacrificing Everything
  Growth and scalability are different—and they impact your business in very different ways. We discuss how to balance both so you can grow intentionally without feeling like you’re always running out of time and money.
• Taking Control of Your Financials
  Many business owners avoid their numbers because they feel overwhelming. I simplify what financial reports actually mean and how you can use them to make confident, informed decisions for your business.
• The Systems That Set You Free
  It’s not about working harder. It’s about creating the systems, boundaries, and structures that support your business and your life. I share how to design a business that runs smoothly without you having to carry all the weight.

Why Listen?

If you’re done with the feast-or-famine cycles and ready to create a business that generates consistent profit and cash flow, this episode is for you. Michael and I get straight to the point with actionable insights and strategies to help you take control of your business today.
