What happens when your business crosses $1 million in revenue… but you can’t afford your mortgage?

In this powerful Cash Flow Confessions episode of Getting to the Bottom Line, host Stephanie Smith sits down with profitability expert Leanne Ozaine to unpack the painful, and surprisingly common, reality of being “profitable” on paper but broke in real life.

Leanne shares the dark moment that changed everything: running a million-dollar software company, speaking in 30 cities a year, growing fast… and quietly accumulating six figures of debt. The turning point? A simple, humbling exercise with a stack of bank statements and a highlighter.

This episode dives into:
→ Why revenue growth doesn’t guarantee cash flow
→ The dangerous “it takes money to make money” mindset
→ The difference between profitable investment and waste
→ Why most entrepreneurs avoid looking at their bank accounts
→ A practical “Heartbeat Audit” you can implement immediately

If you’re a high-earning entrepreneur who feels like money slips through your fingers even though sales are strong, this conversation will give you clarity, courage, and actionable next steps.

This is not about shame. It’s about awareness, ownership, and building a business that actually pays you back.

Listen now to learn how to stop chasing revenue and start keeping more of what you make.
