Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Gina walks through a diagnostic framework for identifying exactly which financial problem to solve next, and the solution you should implement in the next 90 days. She shares real client examples along the way, including a client who grew her revenue significantly but was still underpaying herself out of fear, and closes by sharing her own current financial goals: buying a home in Marin County and funding her growing fashion collection. She also warns against consolidating debt before diagnosing what actually caused it. The episode wraps with a preview of the five-day Bottleneck Breakthrough challenge starting Monday, September 28th, inside Small Business Money School.
