Listen "Time Is Money: How Valuing Your Hours Multiplies Margin with Amanda Brinkman"
Episode Synopsis
We're kicking off our first guest episode with a bang joined with creator and host of the Emmy-nominated Small Business Revolution, Amanda Brinkman. We swap origin stories and the moment she gave us permission to build a great small business without falling for the trap of scaling for scale's sake. Amanda shines a light on what most owners miss (think: your Google listing, true profit drivers, and why you must actually pay yourself), how to protect partnerships before feelings get weird, and the real reason valuing your time multiplies your margin. We also dig into her leap from corporate to founder, the ripple effect of purpose, and why contentment, not just achievement, keeps your business from running you.
