In this episode, Dean Newlund and Tracey Bissett discuss:
- Looking beyond the numbersÂ
- Communicating finance with kidsÂ
- Understanding cash flowÂ
- Building credit historyÂ
Â
Key Takeaways:
- Look a little bit broader, don’t be blinded by big salary numbers. Make sure that you’re developing relationships and that you really value the work, you like the people you work with and the clients that you serve.Â
- Communicate finances clearly with children. Explain simple concepts that are appropriate for their age. At the same time teach them to look at finances positively with an abundant perspective. Keep the dialogue going and follow up.Â
- You must understand how cash flows in and out of your business. Money comes in and money goes out, the timing of when that happens is what you need to understand. Â
- In the early parts of your business seek credit immediately even if you don’t need it. You need to start the clock of your business’s credit history as soon as possible.Â

 “Being able to think for yourself and get information from a variety of sources and actually make up your own mind is really key… challenge everything. Stick with the facts, make sure the numbers are based on reality.” — Tracey Bissett
