Episode 99 is for anyone who’s ever wished for “just one normal day.” Dale breaks down how a simple, living plan turns constant fires—cash-flow squeezes, debt, surprise bills, hiring/retention, leadership blind spots—into clear priorities and momentum. You’ll hear practical ways to separate reserves from operating cash (think Profit First–style buckets), choose growth with eyes wide open, time-block for your best brain hours, and use compounding small actions to knock out the biggest problems first.

You’ll learn:

• The “money mechanics” checklist: cash flow, debt, surprises, insurance gaps

• When to scale vs. when to stabilize

• How prioritization + time-blocking beat procrastination and shiny objects

• Why every person (W-2 or founder) should run their life like a business

• How a real plan reduces fires, builds confidence, and accelerates wins
