This week I am sharing a special replay of my episode on the Online Business Show with my friend Tyler McCall, titled “Financial Transparency Among Women.” You all have heard why I feel strongly about this practice and improving your financial literacy through my quarterly income reports I record for our own show, but Tyler gave me the opportunity to go more in-depth on this topic when he interviewed me for his podcast. Some of the thought-provoking questions we discussed include why high profit margins can be a misleading indicator of a business’s success, the long-term benefits of documenting your income reports, and the three key numbers every business owner should be tracking on a monthly basis.

If you’re not already subscribed to the Online Business Show, I highly recommend you take a moment to add this show to your weekly podcast rotation. Tyler’s show is incredibly well produced, with a no-fluff, honest approach to the most impactful questions, hurdles, and opportunities we face as online business owners. The Online Business Show is one of the few business podcasts I listen to every week, and I’m especially a big fan of the thought-provoking expert roundtables that Tyler hosts; if you love Cubicle to CEO, I know you’ll enjoy The Online Business Show too.
