Is it time to slow down and rethink your approach to business finances? In this episode, Linzy sits down with returning guest Julie Herres, owner of Green Oak Accounting and author of Profit First for Therapists, to explore the concept of "moving at the speed of cash." Together, they discuss the risks of taking on debt, the cultural pull of instant gratification, and how slowing down can lead to smarter, more aligned financial decisions.
Julie shares practical techniques for saving before making major investments and waiting for the right timing, and Linzy emphasizes the value of thoughtfulness in financial planning. Julie and Linzy challenge the notion that faster and bigger is always better, offering a thoughtful perspective on how slowing down and moving at the speed of cash can create a more intentional, sustainable path to success.
Join Linzy and Julie as they unpack how financial patience can help you avoid unnecessary stress and achieve what truly matters in your business and life.
