Are you at a point in your business where you desire financial stability? This episode is for you. 
In this episode of The Determined Mom Show, I have the pleasure of hosting Krista McLellan. We delve into the challenges she faced after the death of her husband and how she turned things around to create financial stability for herself and her family. It was a tough journey, but through determination and the right strategies, she overcame obstacles and built a thriving business.
Here are 3 key takeaways from our conversation that I'd like to share with you:
1️⃣ Track your deductions meticulously: To become audit-proof and maximize tax deductions, keeping careful track of your expenses is crucial. Every number on your balance sheet should have supporting documents to support your claimed expenses. Remember, credit card expenses also require proof to be claimed as business expenses. Get organized and stay on top of your financial records!
2️⃣ Master your cash flow: Cash flow management is paramount for business success. By strategically tracking your inflows and outflows of money, you can make better decisions when timing payments, negotiating terms with vendors, and even reducing your taxable income. Timing is everything, so plan smart to keep more money in your bank account!
3️⃣ Empower yourself with financial knowledge: Don't let guilt or shame hold you back from seeking financial education and taking control of your finances. Understanding your numbers is empowering, whether you're running your own business, supporting your spouse's business, or exploring a part-time side hustle. Learn about cash flow, profit-making strategies, and tax optimization to build financial stability and thrive in your entrepreneurial journey.
If you want to dive deeper into these topics and gain additional insights, tune in to The Determined Mom Show episode 256. You'll find plenty of actionable steps and inspiration to create financial stability in your business.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting Carl on the Determined Mom Show, and we discussed major mistakes to avoid when networking to grow your business. Check out the episode titled "Major Mistakes to Avoid When Networking to Grow Your Business with Carl Lucchi" to get all the juicy details and insights!
 
3 Key Takeaways from Our Conversation:
1️⃣ Shift your mindset: Networking is not just about passing out business cards or giving an elevator pitch. It's about building relationships and creating a network of people you know, like, and trust.
2️⃣ Go beyond traditional networking methods: Don't limit yourself to only attending networking events. Utilize online platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook to connect with like-minded individuals and expand your network.
3️⃣ Focus on assisting, not selling: Instead of constantly trying to pitch your products or services, shift your focus to helping others. Be genuinely interested in their needs and find ways to assist them. By providing value, you will build trust and create opportunities for collaboration and referrals.
I hope these insights help you avoid common networking mistakes and achieve greater success in growing your business.

 In episode 252 of The Determined Mom Show, our guest Tim Zhang shares his expert insights on how to drive targeted buyers to your website! Tim's journey from actor to realtor to marketing agency owner is truly inspiring. He faced challenges and setbacks but found his passion in online marketing and copywriting. Now, he helps coaches transition from offline success to building profitable online businesses. 
Tim is not a coach, not a pioneer, and not a guru. He's here to empower you with the push you need to becoming a titan. He is simply obsessed with learning about marketing, selling, transforming ideas into wealth and freedom, and sharing it with others.
Here are 3 Key Takeaways from this Episode:
1️⃣ Focus on one platform at a time: Tim discovered that managing multiple social media platforms was a drain on resources without generating significant traffic. By narrowing his focus to LinkedIn, he found better results in driving targeted buyers to his website.
2️⃣ Provide valuable email bribes: Offering relevant and valuable incentives tailored to your target audience's immediate needs is crucial. Whether it's discounts, templates, checklists, or exclusive content, make sure your email bribe speaks directly to your customer and entices them to provide their email.
3️⃣ Find your dream 100: Building relationships and collaborating with local businesses, bloggers, and influential platforms where your ideal customers can be found is essential. Look for opportunities to offer value and get exposure through partnerships or by purchasing entry, or work your way in without spending money by providing valuable content.
Whether you're a coach looking to scale your online business or an entrepreneur seeking effective strategies to drive targeted buyers, this episode is packed with valuable insights from Tim Zhang. Tune in now on the podcast to learn more!
