    Investing in Our Future – Why the Chamber Foundation Matters

    One of the things I love most about this podcast is that it gives us a chance to slow down a bit. At our networking breakfasts, things move pretty quickly. People are introducing themselves, exchanging business cards, grabbing coffee, and trying to win one of the raffle prizes. We don't always have time to dig a little deeper into the stories behind what we do. So today, I thought we'd do exactly that. Today we're talking about the Carefree Cave Creek Chamber Foundation—and why I believe it's one of the most important things we do as a Chamber.   Episode Link: https://youtu.be/UMmelru0T4E Check out other Podcast episodes. https://carefreecavecreekchamber.libsyn.com   Check out the Chamber. https://carefreecavecreek.org/     #carefreecavecreekchamber #podcast #business #businesstips #community #carefreeaz #cavecreekaz

    Time Management – You Can't Manage Time, But You Can Manage Yourself!

    Running a business isn't a nine-to-five job. It's often a six-in-the-morning-to-ten-at-night kind of commitment. There are customers to serve, employees to lead, bills to pay, social media to update, networking events to attend, family responsibilities, and somewhere in there you're supposed to remember to eat lunch. Sound familiar? The truth is, none of us gets extra hours. Every one of us gets the same twenty-four hours every day. Successful people don't have more time. They simply become better at deciding how to use it. In this episode, Steve breaks down how to manage your time.   Episode Link: https://youtu.be/2JjBWUk_5LE Check out other Podcast episodes. https://carefreecavecreekchamber.libsyn.com   Check out the Chamber. https://carefreecavecreek.org/     #carefreecavecreekchamber #podcast #business #businesstips #community #carefreeaz #cavecreekaz

    Why Cash Flow Analysis is important for business owners

    Cash flow analysis helps business owners forecast their financial future and avoid surprises.  We want to provide you with practical tips on how to analyze your cash flow and use it for the growth of your business.   What is cash flow? - Cash flow, in simple terms, is the money moving in and out of a business.  - Now there is a difference between *cash inflows* (sales, loans, investments) and *cash outflows* (expenses like rent, payroll, utilities).  - A positive cash flow is key to maintaining and growing a business, while a negative cash flow needs immediate attention. Tracking your cash flow will allow you to make adjustments to your sales or costs today that will affect you in the months and years to come.     Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Xvd6SayW45I Check out other Podcast episodes. https://carefreecavecreekchamber.libsyn.com Check out the Chamber. https://carefreecavecreek.org/      Make sure you like and subscribe to our channels to check out other great experts sharing their expertise, tips, and strategies to grow your business and contribute to the community.   #carefreecavecreekchamber #podcast #business #businesstips #community #carefreeaz #cavecreekaz
