Having a solid financial foundation is so important to achieve success in small businesses.

In this week’s episode on Her Business Beat, Carrie Williams, the founder of Running Valley Financial, stresses that financial knowledge is crucial for the success of small business owners who often lack knowledge in this area.

We tackle the stigma around discussing finances and highlight the stress and anxiety associated with not understanding them.

Carrie helps us identify common financial pitfalls that small business owners face, provides helpful tips for small business owners on financial management, and recommends seeking advice from trusted sources in the community but validating it with professionals.

Starting a business knowing all about finances is one of the most important steps in setting your business up for financial success.
