"I like to say, think cash, not accounting." - David Safeer
Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and David Safeer for a live coaching conversation. David architects cash-first operating systems for small businesses and teaches others to do the same, with a career that runs from a Fortune 100 company to running a profit and loss at a publicly held company. His mission is helping 100 million small businesses by 2030, and in this conversation he turns his own method into a plan to reach 100,000 people in the next year.
You'll walk away with:
- Why a growing business can run out of cash while it looks profitable
- How the method you teach your clients can be the one that gets you to your biggest goal
- Why playing for 10x can be easier than playing for 2x
