    E.199 You Built the Business… But Did You Protect It?

    Most business owners spend years building their business…But almost no time thinking about how to protect it. In this episode of Your Business on Purpose, Dawnette Palmore dives into one of the most overlooked strategies in business planning: buy-sell agreements—and how life insurance plays a critical role in protecting your business. Because here’s the reality…If something happens to you or your business partner, ownership doesn’t just disappear—it transfers. And without a clear, funded plan in place, that can create confusion, conflict, and chaos for both the business and the family involved. Inside this episode, Dawnette breaks down: What a buy-sell agreement actually is (in simple terms)What happens to your business if a partner passes away or becomes disabledWhy verbal agreements and “trust” are not enoughHow life insurance turns a plan into a fully funded strategyThe difference between cross-purchase and entity purchase agreementsThe biggest mistakes business owners make when it comes to protecting their businessThis episode is not about fear—it’s about financial leadership, responsibility, and protecting what you’ve worked so hard to build. If your business has value, generates income, or supports your family… this is a conversation you can’t afford to ignore. 🎯 Ready to go deeper?Join Dawnette’s Business Money Foundation: A 5-Day Reset for Growing Entrepreneurs and start building a business that not only grows—but lasts.

    E193: You’re Making Money… So Why Does Your Business Still Feel Unstable?

    If someone asked you right now, “Are your business finances healthy?” — would you confidently say yes? Or would you say… I think so? Many business owners measure financial health by one thing: revenue. If money is coming in, the business must be doing fine, right? Not necessarily. A business can generate strong revenue and still struggle with unstable cash flow, inconsistent pay for the owner, lack of reserves, or no protection if something goes wrong. In this episode of Your Business on Purpose, Dawnette Palmore walks through the 5-part Business Financial Health Check — a simple framework to help entrepreneurs determine whether their business is truly stable or just reacting month to month. You’ll learn how to evaluate the financial health of your business through five key areas: Clarity – Do you actually know your numbers? Consistency – Is your cash flow predictable? Compensation – Are you paying yourself intentionally? Cushion – Do you have reserves for slower months? Coverage – Is your income protected if something happens? Financial health isn't about perfection — it’s about knowing where you stand so you can make decisions from awareness instead of reaction. 📘 Free Resource:Download Dawnette’s free eBook Financial Literacy for Business Owners, where she explains:• What financial reports actually matter• How to understand your numbers without overwhelm• How to plan for taxes instead of reacting to them• How to build a financially stable business

    E:192 Why Women Struggle to Own Their Profit & Power with Nuttha Goutier

    So let me ask you something… If your strategy disappeared tomorrow, would your belief still carry you? So many women entrepreneurs don’t struggle because they lack knowledge.They struggle because doubt gets louder than conviction. In this episode of Your Business on Purpose, I sit down with Nuttha Goutier, Founder and CEO of Sabai Thai Spa, who built a multi-location wellness brand starting with less than $1,000 and one powerful thing — belief. We talk about: • The self-doubt that creeps in when no one is watching• The comparison trap that social media fuels• Why women feel guilty making money• How your internal dialogue shapes your income• Balancing purpose with profit without shrinking• Turning belief into real results This is not mindset fluff.This is about the foundation of sustainable success. Because if you don’t believe in what you’re building, no strategy will fix that. And when your belief aligns with your purpose?That’s when impact — and income — expand. If you’ve been questioning yourself lately, this episode is your reminder:You are more capable than your doubt wants you to believe. From chaos to clarity — your journey starts here.
