You want to lead your people well, but you're stuck in spreadsheets, cash flow guesswork, and trying to make sense of your finances.

Here's the truth. Not hiring an accounting professional isn't saving you money. It's costing you your leadership.

When you're buried in numbers, you're not building a culture. You're not coaching your team. You're not steering the vision forward.

Your employees deserve to work for a company with financial clarity and confidence. And so do you.

So we're talking today about intentional living. I'll set up John's lesson in just a moment,
