From Elizabeth Potts Weinstein
9:01 AM Pacific, San Jose, California

Fellow small business owners:

What's the #1 question I get from small business owners?

"How do I deal with my fluctuating cash flow?"

And a few years ago I would have had no good answer to that question. I suffered from a lack of control over my cash flow. Yes, I had good months, and made some money … but that was followed by months of not being able to make payroll or knowing if I was ever going to turn things around.

Do you also have these challenges?

Boom-Bust Income. I'd have a few great months full of clients and projects, making record income. Then I'd finish up that last project, turn my desk calendar over to the next month … and it's empty. No appointments. No projects. Because I was so busy working in my business, I was not doing any promotion, prospecting, or proposals … and the work dried up. With an empty month in front of me, I might as well be starting the business over again -- and I had to still meet my monthly overhead!

Bouncing checks or late payments. How embarrassing. As a lawyer and financial advisor, I should be super-responsible, always have enough money in my checking account, and never miss a payment. But when I got busy, I neglected my bookkeeping, and would forget to invoice clients or even deposit their checks. Then what comes? That horrible little tear-off-edges statement from the bank that you had insufficient funds … and BTW they are dinging you another $35 per transaction (and dude, you didn't have the money in the first place!).

Using personal credit cards or savings for the business. Suffering under the boom-bust cycle, when I hit a dry period, I still had those monthly overhead expenses to pay. So where did the money come from? Either my personal credit card, or from our personal savings account. Same issue if I wanted to invest in new advertising, a big seminar, or hire help.

Using QuickBooks reports. Yes, I diligently inputted transactions into QuickBooks from the beginning … but had no idea why. There are tons of reports, and I (a lawyer & financial advisor!) had no idea what I was supposed to do with them.

Missing tax deductions. Since I didn't get the usefulness of QuickBooks, I neglected in inputting transactions for a while -- meaning I probably missed tons of stuff. Then, when my husband asked where this credit card balance came from (and I explained it was for expanding my business) he asked, what about the interest? Since the card had both personal and business expenses, it was impossible to separate out the tax deductible interest from personal interest expenses.

Quarterly tax deposits. Oh, and don't get me started on setting aside quarterlies -- even though I had it planned out from the beginning of the year & set aside money automatically, I did not change it when business changed. When it came to April we owed a bunch more money since we made more than we had thought.

Making decisions on investing in the business. When I decided to make a big expansion of my business, I wanted to invest in everything that sounded good. There are tons of programs, marketing, promotions, systems, and seminars out there, and it was easy to pump five-figures back into the business. They were all "good ideas" -- but were they really right for me?

Creating new products & services & businesses. I'm a born entrepreneur, full of 1000 business ideas that could keep me busy for the next 500 years. For a while I went wacky, starting every new business idea that "sounded great" & trying it out. That took time and money. And, some were destined to fail -- but I had no way to evaluate that beforehand.

Setting prices. When I first started out I just set an hourly rate that was similar to other people in my industry. But I was unable to make enough money and had to raise my rates again and again to find the "sweet spot." Then as I launched some new programs, I charged fees that "sounded about right" -- but did not compensate me for the time spent, much less make a good profit.

After reading all the books, investing in software & programs, and hiring people to help me, I found that the system did not exist. Yes, there were people out there telling you how to create a spreadsheet or report, but no one telling me how to use the spreadsheet. So it just sat in a file as a waste of time.

I set up all those cash flow projections and reports in the past, but I did not use them. As a crazy-busy mom and entrepreneur, I needed a automatic system to keep me on track. So I created the Money Meetings System to take control of my business cash flow, and, my life.


Now what is it like to run my business?

I have a one-page spreadsheet that predicts my income and expenses for the year. If I'm thinking about making changes to my business, or if an unforeseen challenge or opportunity arises, I just tweak that sheet to see the effects. I can make a decision immediately because I know the financial ramifications of any choice.

When I'm thinking of offering a new product, I plug that into my sheet. Will it be worth my time? What should the pricing be? How much do I need to sell to make a profit? All these questions are answered in just a few minutes.

I can tell you if I'll need financing for an opportunity or expansion of my business, and how much financing I'll need. Makes it simple to choose to invest in a high-end coaching program, or a big marketing opportunity, because I can see where the money will come from.

My promotion & marketing does not suffer from neglect. If my promotion starts to fall behind, I immediately know and can step up before any lag occurs in my sales funnel. When I want to bring in more money, I have choices -- to bring in more leads, work on conversion rates, or work on networking -- and know how to immediately measure the effects.

Fundamentally, what I now have is certainty. No more waking up in the middle of the night to wonder if I have money in my business checking account, or if I will have clients next month. I can see where the money comes from and where it's going. Now, I can concentrate on my business, instead of worrying about the unknowns.

"So what's my minimum investment for finally taking control of my cash flow?"

As many of you know, I'm in a Mastermind group with other experts, coaches, and consultants. Most are no longer seeing clients by the hour or in coaching and are only available for a per day rate ($10,000 to $16,000 per day). The other coaches are charging $1000 per month for their programs, or only seeing clients in small groups and charging $300+ a month for a group program.

My all-day fee for a Grow Up! Small Business Audit is $5,000, and my 4-month Cash Flow Coaching Program is $2895. But I know you guys are having cash flow problems or you would not be here, and I want to help you who really need and want my help … so the investment for the 4-week Tele-Bootcamp is only $297 (best deal), or 4 payments of $77.


But for those of you who want to ENSURE you will implement the system & get all of your questions answered, I'm offering a VIP level to the program. For an investment of $495 (best deal) or 4 payments of $127, you will receive, in addition to everything above:

·CDs of all 4 classes, sent to you by mail.

·Transcripts of all 4 clases, sent to you by mail.

·A 15-minute BONUS One-on-One Follow Up Coaching Call with me, six to eight weeks after the program is over. This bonus coaching call will keep you accountable for implementing the program, and provide a forum for you to get answers to any additional questions.

There are other ways you could spend this money...

  • A big seminar with tons of info but no way to implement (or they just have you there to sell you more stuff).
  • Fees to more financial advisors & CPA's and bookkeepers who tell you stuff you don't understand, hand you random reports, or just make more of a mess.
  • Advertising & "pretty" websites that never get maintained or fully utilized.
  • Late penalties & credit card interest (especially if you're not taking deductions!).

"Elizabeth has an easy to read writing style and breaks out the technical legal & financial information in a way that is accessible and invaluable to small business owners."
