Episode Details

Business is no joke. You can win big, or you can lose big. 

Today Greg Crowe takes us through 5 huge red flags to look out for in your business. 

Are there other red flags? Yeh of course!! 

No doubt every day your business is screaming some form of information to you and we always have to ensure that we are slowing down, listening, and not ignoring something minor (or major) that could threaten everything we have sacrificed to build. 

The red flags we go through in this pod are: 

-you are not making money and it’s been like this for a while 

-you can’t pay your bills on time 

-you are consistently putting your own money in OR you have taken out an additional loan 

-you are working 60-80 hours per week + there is no end in sight 

-you are working with the wrong people 

So what’s the morale of the story? 

Look after yourselves out there. Make sure you have someone you can talk to about the hard stuff. Look after your mental health. Slow down and ask yourself if what you are doing is working. Stop and check to see if the key metrics are good.
They say everything happens for a reason, and while this may be true, sometimes it’s can be a bit of a cop out. 

If you can avoid going through something awful, you really should try your best to avoid going through something awful. 

Make money. Build wealth. BE KIND. Be kind to yourselves. You are a person too. 

Much love xx
