Steph Crowder: How to Create Money Safety with a Spreadsheet
Manage episode 487002187 series 2562854
Do you know if your business can afford your next investment or are you hoping it all works itself out?
Today, Steph Crowder and I break down how to create a financial safety net in your business using nothing more than a spreadsheet. This is how you can relax a bit more and know you’re making pretty smart, grounded investment decisions. (No buyer’s remorse afterwards!)
This is how Steph went from “there’s no way I can afford that!” to realize she was more than fine (even in a worst-case scenario).
This Week on the Get Paid Podcast:
The exact spreadsheet Steph used to project revenue and expenses (without overcomplicating it)
How she realized she was running a $450K/year business…with almost no profit
What happened when we cut her projected launch revenue in half and she was still OK
Why projecting income + expenses is more regulating than just having 6 months of savings
What to include in your projections (especially if you still have a job or multiple revenue streams)
The mindset shifts from “can I afford this?” to “what needs to be true to make this work?”
Mentioned in this podcast:
Gusto (payroll software)
Claire’s spreadsheet template (coming soon—DM me if you want early access!)
