Just had an illuminating conversation with Lori Mercaldi, founder of Tally Financial and a Certified Profit First Professional.  Lori opened my eyes to the Profit First Model.  

What is Profit First, you say?   It's an innovative financial management system that helps you prioritize PROFIT from day one! 

Lori doesn't just talk about the Profit First Model; she LIVES it and implements this method with her clients.  

But that's not all we talk about in this episode!  We explored a wide range of topics, and here are some key takeaways:

• Starting a New Business: Lori's advice is golden for aspiring entrepreneurs.  She guides them through the process, helping them set up their financial foundations for success. 
• Financial Fluency: We discussed how much financial fluency a business owner really needs.  Lori's expertise revealed the importance of understanding your numbers, even if you're not a financial guru.  
• The Makings of a Successful Business Owner: What qualities make a business owner successful?  Lori shared her thoughts on the characteristics and mindset that set the great apart from the good.

This interview is a must-listen for anyone looking to take their business to new heights, whether you own a franchise or a stand-alone business.  Lori’s insights are a game-changer!
