Episode 50: How to Efficiently Share Financial Info with Your Team

share financial information with your team how to do it the right way featured blog post image

Recently, I spoke with Ellen Yin and she shared the magnificent effects of being transparent in how she’s running her business. That means Ellen consistently and intentionally shares how much she spends, makes, and gives away with everyone. Ellen says that she did this in order to give her audience a realistic view on how a business makes and can spend revenue.

Now, I’m not really comfortable with sharing it with my audience, but what I do want to discuss today is how much it can benefit your business when you’re sharing your numbers with your team. 

How so? Well, it makes your team feel more connected and invested with your business. It gives them the opportunity to see ahead and show them how their contributions are moving the business forward.

This is not to say that you’re going to be sharing financial information like your checking account number or the pin to your accounts… NO! That’s not… literally, don’t do that, okay?!

In this episode, we’re going to talk about how you can share your numbers in a way that makes sense for key team members and help them understand what’s happening at any given point in time. 

I’m really excited to have this conversation with you today, so I highly recommend that you tune in, because I know it will help us all get better at communicating our numbers effectively with our team!

“When you’re more transparent with your financials, you’re going to get a greater sense of ownership from the team.”

– Stephanie Skryzowski

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Understanding WHO needs to know your business numbers
  • Think about WHAT numbers you’re going to share
  • WHEN should you be sharing financial information with your team
  • Figuring out HOW to share financial information effectively

dana snyder on how to cut through digital marketing overwhelm featured blog post image for episode 49

Digital marketing can be challenging and frustrating because it’s constantly changing and evolving.

You have Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Reddit. Sooo many platforms to choose from and so many unexpected variables to watch out for. You’ve got bug fixes, interface updates, new rules, and the ever shifting algorithm to keep up with. Just when you thought you got it figured out… BAM! Something new. So, it’s not a stretch to say that even the most seasoned nonprofit marketer can get overwhelmed with all this!

But, hey! Just because digital marketing is not particularly easy, doesn’t mean that you should avoid it. There are still plenty of ways for nonprofits to cut through the noise and learn how to use digital marketing effectively without being forced to use ALL of the marketing platforms all at once.

So, join us in this episode, as Dana shares her innovative and refreshing insight on how nonprofits can boost their fundraising efforts, how to cut through digital marketing overwhelm, and why you don’t necessarily need to be on ALL the social media platforms to grow your impact.

“You don’t want to be throwing spaghetti on the wall, you want to know strategically what social media content and metrics are going to align with your business goals, so that you’re focusing and you’re putting that spend in the right buckets, and focusing on the right platforms and tools.” – Dana Snyder

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • How Dana Snyder started her digital marketing career

Money Book Recommendations Episode 48 featured blog post for 5 Money Mindset and Management Book Recommendations

Episode 48: 5 Money Mindset and Management Book Recommendations

5 Money Mindset and Management Book Recommendations blog post featured image for episode 48

Are you looking for some life-altering money mindset and management books to uplevel your personal life and career in 2022? Say no more because I got you, friend! In fact, reading, talking about books, and sharing my to-read list is one of my simple pleasures in life. So, consider me your book connoisseur of the day! (beaming with excitement)

Ah, but don’t worry! I’m not going to recommend a whole library to read over the weekend. I’ll start you off with a manageable list of 5 and you can tell me what you think after? (wink)

So, these 5 books I’m recommending were written by people who have had great successes in their lives, but have also struggled along the way and persevered despite their circumstances. And I don’t know about you, but reading books from people like Rachel Rogers make me feel seen and my own experiences feel validated. Like, I can’t think of a better teacher than someone who knows what it’s like not having enough time or not having enough energy or not having enough motivation or any of those things AND SUCCEED.

So, just a heads up, the books I’m talking about today are:

    1. We Should All Be Millionaires by Rachel Rogers
    2. The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks
    3. Dare to Lead by Brene Brown
    4. Profit First by Mike Michalowicz
    5. I Will Teach You to Be Rich by Ramit Sethi

I love these books, so much so that I’ve even read some of them more than once. But also because revisiting them from time to time has helped me analyze lessons past with a fresh perspective!

Trust me, these babies (the books!) are a total game-changer. You’re going to learn so much about yourself as well as how you can manage your finances in a more effective way, so that you can get the most out of life while still staying true to your passion and purpose.

Sound good? You ready for this? Let’s get to it then!

“None of these books I’m recommending are about becoming rich for the sake of being rich. It’s about how to use your money & your financial management to really have not just wealth, but also more abundance & joy in your life.” – Stephanie Skryzowski

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • The 5 money mindset and management books that will change your life
  • Why I highly recommend these money and mindset books to everyone I know

Episode 47 My Hot Take on Profit First featured blog post image

Ever heard of Profit First by Mike Michalowicz? It’s a great resource for people who want to… (leans closer) GET PAID while running their business! However, if you’re like most small business owners, you probably think of profit as something that comes after expenses have been set aside. And that’s not a good practice to bring into this fresh year.

Do we need to make sacrifices to keep our business running? Yes, running a business does take a certain amount of sacrifice, but constantly placing yourself at the bottom of YOUR list will only lead to resentment and burnout.

So, what can we do about this? How do you make profit a part of your everyday business?

Well, what if there was a way to make it so that you could actually see how much money you were making every day? That’s where Profit First comes in!

Join me in this episode as I share all I know about Profit First: its core principles, how to implement it in your business, what I love about it + what I don’t particularly love, along with some real-world applications to get you more confident in your numbers this 2022.

“Work expands to the time that you’re given, the same thing is true with money. Your business expenses are going to expand to the amount that you give them.” – Stephanie Skryzowski

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • The core principles of Profit First
  • How we use some of these principles in our business
  • What I think are the pros and cons of using Profit First
  • Practical applications of Profit First and the Profit Playbook

Episode 45 The 3 Biggest Hardest Lessons of Building a Million Dollar Business in 2021 blog post featured image

Episode 45: The 3 Biggest, Hardest Lessons of Building a Million Dollar Business in 2021

Episode 45 The 3 Biggest Hardest Lessons of Building a Million Dollar Business in 2021 blog post featured image

If you’re an entrepreneur, then you know that the journey to building a million dollar business is definitely not an easy one! It takes a considerable amount of trial and error to get things working just the way you want it. And sometimes, if we’re not careful, impostor syndrome can set in! But as John Wooden once said, “Good things take time, as they should. We shouldn’t expect good things to happen overnight. Actually, getting something too easily or too soon can cheapen the outcome.” 

But what does it take to be a successful business owner?

  1. You need to be willing to work hard and make sacrifices in order for your business to grow.
  2. You need to surround yourself with highly capable and reliable individuals that believe in your mission.
  3. And most importantly, you have to be relentless in pursuing your goals!

Ahh… I bet you’re thinking, “Stephanie, aren’t these 3 things a given? What else can I do to make 2022 a better year?” 

So, join me in this episode, as I share the biggest lessons that helped me speed up the process and get that much closer to building a million dollar business:

  • The first lesson is about investing in your team members so they can do their jobs well and feel empowered at work.
  • Next is creating and streamlining systems + internal infrastructure within your organization so it runs like clockwork even when you’re not around. (Because we all know how important it is for entrepreneurs to spend time on growing their businesses rather than wasting time doing administrative tasks themselves!)
  • And finally, the third lesson: hiring coaches or mentors who can guide us through difficult times and provide us with valuable advice. This helps us take significantly less time to discover and understand what we might otherwise never thought of ourselves.

These lessons were such a game-changer for me and I’m sure that these will help make 2022 your year of greater growth and abundance!

“I was very intentional about all four of those things: how I was going to make my money, how I was going to invest it, how I would donate it, and how I would save it. And because of that, we have hit our financial goals for the year!” – Stephanie Skryzowski

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • My 5 goals were this year and how I achieved most of them
  • What does building a million dollar business mean for us
  • Why you should invest in your team
  • The 3 Biggest, Hardest Lessons of Building a Million Dollar Business in 2021

Our featured expert this week, Allison Hardy, knows a trick or two when it comes to running a business and a full household – I mean, she’s a mompreneur herself, after all!

I’ve been following Allison for a couple of years now. I don’t know why, but it feels like I share this weird kinship with her.

So, we hope you can join us again today, as we dive into the wonderful world of marketing automations and how mom-preneurs everywhere can create some semblance of flow and routine by being more intentional with how we manage our business and our household.

There’s a lot of insight to unpack here, so let’s get to it!

“When you get a stranger on the internet a quick win, they’re going to be yours. They’re going to listen and they’re gonna pay attention.” – Allison Hardy
