Delegate to Elevate: Entrepreneurial Finance and the Path to a Million-Dollar Company with Pam Jordan

The She Leads Podcast: Real Conversations with Women Entrepreneurs

"It's not about what you make, it's about what you keep. You can be a $2 million company and broke, or a $650,000 company and rolling in the money."

Pam, the CEO of Pivot Business Group, is a no-nonsense financial expert and speaker who specializes in analyzing and streamlining the back end of fast-growing companies, while efficiently creating more profit and strategic growth. Pam decided to create Pivot Business Group to ensure that no small business owner would face bankruptcy simply because they didn’t understand their numbers.

Pam shares her valuable experience and insights, noting that many entrepreneurs, especially women, undercharge for their services, undervalue their worth, and fail to set prices correctly. They also often neglect to pay themselves properly, have the wrong legal and tax structure for their company, and don’t track their numbers correctly.

For women, it is crucial to understand these financial aspects and stop undervaluing themselves. We aren’t always educated about the financial tools and strategies available, but there are professionals who can help avoid these pitfalls. Investing in their expertise from day one is worth the cost and saves you from future pain and financial mess.

Understand what your costs are, track your money in real time, and make sure you're setting money aside for yourself, delegate and enjoy your journey to success.
