Even if you have a great product or service, it is not enough. You need to know how to make your business work for you and be profitable.

Most small businesses fail after 3 years because they do not know how to manage their finances properly.

Making those important business decisions can be difficult, especially if you're not sure what your options are or how much it will cost.

Many small businesses don't take advantage of professional accountants or finance experts, which means that they often end up making costly mistakes as they try to navigate their way through this complicated world on their own.

The Beyond the Launch series of the "Small Business, Big Ideas" podcast is designed to give you practical advice from real-world experience so that you can avoid common pitfalls and learn how to run a better business without breaking the bank.

We discuss financial reports and forecasting, how to stay out of trouble, managing the personality of money, accounting basics, and more!
