    How to Create 90 Days of Cashflow in Your Business

    How to Create 90 Days of Cashflow in Your Business

    The first step to securing financial freedom is understanding the NUMBERS and THE LINGO. 
    Want to know a secret? 
    It's not as complicated as you think.
     I use to be afraid to look at the numbers. I would put it off until the end of the month. I would make decisions based on the amount of money I currently saw in my bank account. And want to know where that left me? Feeling stressed and confused and frustrated. 
    After all, the reason that you started your business is because you want freedom and flexibility. BUT you can't have either of those things if you can't properly manage the FLOW of the money that is coming in and going out. 
    In this episode we are digging into exactly how to understand your numbers, what you truly need to know and how to tear the emotion away from your finances.
    MEET CATHERINE

At the age of 25, she launched her first business in November 2014, e-commerce company PLAN DE VILLE  as the online destination for luxury fashion by emerging designers. She received the Rising Star Award in Retail from The Fashion Group International in 2016 for the concept. Catherine's work has been featured in Harper's Bazaar, Forbes, Women's Wear Daily, and by Nasdaq. 
    After scaling Plan de Ville and launching a financial advisory practice for emerging brands, she completed an MBA at Columbia Business School and created The Consistent Cash Flow Method for Small Business Owners: a proven method to eliminate cash flow stress and empower you to grow your brand and team as a small business.
