Episode Synopsis

Ever sit there wondering why your business feels like it’s go-go-GO all the time, but your bank account just doesn’t reflect all that hustle? If you’re nodding, trust me ... you’re not alone.
In this episode of The boring sh!t in business, I’m pulling back the curtain on the hidden costs that quietly eat away at your profits (yes, the ones that don’t show up neatly on your P&L).
Here’s the real deal: It’s often not the big, obvious bills that are draining your business. It’s the sneaky stuff .. the subscriptions you forgot to cancel, the wasted hours on manual processes, sloppy cash flow, and opportunities you missed because you were so caught up in the day-to-day. I’ll share stories (including from clients who had no idea these leaks were even happening), help you spot where your money’s really going, and arm you with actionable steps to plug those holes .. fast.
What’s in it for you?


You’ll learn the five biggest hidden costs lurking in your business (and how to tackle them head-on)


Real-life examples (yes, I spill on the $35k leak one business owner didn’t even see coming!)


Super-practical tips for finding, tracking, and getting rid of these profit-drainers


How to reclaim your time, your money, and your headspace—without adding more to your plate


Plus, I’ve got some handy tools for you, including a simple spreadsheet to track all those little leaks and de-junk your expenses. And if you’re ready to really take control, I’ll invite you to check out my Small Business Cash flow Course for small business owners just like you.
So grab your coffee, tea, wine (no judgment here!) and let’s dive into the stuff nobody talks about ... but everybody needs to hear. Hit play, then let’s get your business working for you (instead of the other way around)!
Ready? Your bottom line will thank you. Listen now.
