Claire Pelletreau was just starting to grow her side business as a Facebook ad and marketing consultant when her full-time job disappeared. Desperate to land enough clients just to pay the bills, she was disappointed at how difficult it was to find real tactical advice that would help actually her get paid month to month. The Get Paid Podcast is Claire’s attempt to pull back the curtain on the reality of running an online business. All these people pulling in “six figures” - how are they ACTUALLY doing it? What kind of money do they take home after expenses? What are those expenses, anyway? Are they truly “solopreneurs” or are they supported by a team? What does that team do for them? How are they marketing their offerings and growing their lists? How long did it take to get to where they are? You’ll discover how different entrepreneurs get paid and what it costs them to bring in that money.

Mark Butler: The CFO You Can Never Fire (GPP16)

Sep 17, 2015

Having trouble keeping track of your business finances? Make sure you know exactly how to use your revenue projections in order to stimulate business growth rather than set you up for failure.

 

Mark was mentioned a few episodes ago when I interviewed Rachel Cook because he is the CFO that she mentioned as a part of her team. That is what Mark does for a living; he will be your CFO and help you manage the money.

 

In this episode you’ll hear:

 

-- Exactly how Mark helps his clients manage their money, and make  smarter spending decisions.

-- Why you should never use projections to make big spending decisions and what you should use them for instead.

-- Why he is virtually “unfireable” and what exactly that means.

-- Why his previous business, a membership site, shriveled up and died (and what you can do to avoid it).

-- Why Mark is not a big fan of high end mastermind programs.
