You open your invoicing software, pull up the same rate card you’ve used for two years, maybe three, and feel a small twinge of guilt. Your designer used to need three rounds of feedback to nail a logo concept. Now she nails it on the first pass. Your account manager used to escalate every client…

From time to time, I get questions about banking for business, and I thought for today’s newsletter, I’d share some of the more common ones. Banking isn’t something I spend much time on in my business, but there are a few things worth thinking about on the topic. What’s the best bank to use for…

There’s a version of this story that plays out in med spas everywhere. You just had your best month ever. Lasers running back-to-back, injectors booked solid, the front desk buzzing with confirmations and rebooks. You pull up your numbers and gross margin looks gorgeous. Fifty-five, maybe sixty percent.
