Seasonal Revenue Is Crushing My Cash Flow (What Should I Do?)

Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

A lot of business owners think they have a cash problem. Most of the time, it's an identity problem. Siba Koopman runs a $2.2 million bakery and bistro with 31 team members. He's passionate about his craft. Passionate

about tradition, passionate about doing things a certain way, and that passion built something really special. But when predictable slow seasons hit, pressure builds, and the real question surfaces, are you building a business around your identity or are you building a business that can actually sustain you. Today, Entree Leadership's head coach John Felkins sits down with Seba to unpack what happens when tradition, pride, and profitability collide. If you've ever wrestled with letting go of how you've always done it, this one's going to challenge you.

Listen in. Well Seba, thanks for being here today. Tell me what's on your mind. Our business is a little bit of a seasonal business where most of our money gets made in November, December with Christmas sales in the bakery. We bake a lot more, we get in a lot more imports from the Netherlands to to sell at the bakery.
