Grace Bruins sits down with Money Masters founder Barbara Fausett for a candid conversation about building a legacy business, the real risks small owners overlook, and how collaboration—not competition—unlocks true growth.

Barbara shares wisdom from decades in finance and operations, revealing why a holistic approach to business advisory makes all the difference.

Episode Highlights:

02:30 - At the end of the day, if you're not bringing money home, you're not going to stay in business.

03:28 - I really wanted to take that to the small business to help them way beyond just the transactional pieces of bookkeeping, to really help them with the entire scope of their business, anything that relates to the finances.

04:26 - They're just at a point where they want more time. They know they can get more money out of the business, or maybe they have a specific goal, something that they want to achieve, and they're really looking for somebody to provide some insights that they know they're missing.

07:00 - It is not competition. There's other people that do what I do, but they might serve a different type of client or a different type of client might be interested in working with them.

Grace Bruins sits down with the ever-inspiring Sara Deacon of 360° Emcee to unpack what it truly means to thrive as a small business owner. Fresh off a year of business evolution,

Sara shares her insights on building resilient networks, learning from setbacks, and finding the “smoothest pebble” to stand out—wisdom she now brings to her clients and her new book. Together, they explore the power of supportive communities, the art of emceeing legendary events, and unconventional advice every entrepreneur needs.

Sara brings candor and humor to her story, revealing why nurturing authentic relationships is game-changing for business founders and how broad experience is often more valuable than deep specialization.

Episode Highlights:

02:53 - I'm not a business owner that has found the riches in the niches. I have more of a wider range of experience than a deeper one.

03:17 - A lot of newer business owners are not necessarily ready to invest $5,000 plus in something they are not sure is going to work for them.

05:17 - Legendary Women in Business has been rebranded from her former event called Warrior Unchained. Warrior Unchained was personal to her and meaningful to her, but it didn't really translate marketing wise to what we were actually doing in that room.

06:45 - So I wish I would have known then how important networking is and how important it is to have a community around you who understands what you're doing when you're trying to build a business and understands the ups, the downs, the sideways and upside downs of it. Because it's really important to have support in all of those ways.
