Whether it’s 000 or 911 you call in an emergency, it’s clear we can’t plan for everything, but its aok with Kerry and Kim because they’ve got your back. No need to panic, simply strap your business finances in and prepare for brilliance as they talk all about the importance of emergency funds for your business. As entrepreneurs’ we know risk is not a stranger at the finance table, at the same time our livelihoods can be on the line. What happens when we take that risk too far? When we sell ourselves short and become complacent that nothing ‘bad’ is going to happen? There is no doubt the Financial Designer is ready and rearing to go with the Princess and her coffee closely behind. Take note as they discuss:

• Creativity counts (yes even when it comes to business finances!). When you are in a stuck and paralyzed zone it can shut down your ability to solve problems, which means the coffee cup is running on empty and we need to put in effort with each sip.
• Can you lessen your expenses for a short time? Increase revenue? Tuck a few bean$ away in a rainy-day fund?
• Robbing Peter to pay Paul. Taking care if we are borrowing funds from our emergency funds and making a commitment to put it back. Looking down the road to stay in business long term, rather than flopping early and closing your business because the funds are drained.
• Like a kid when you got pocket money, there is great benefit of having a plan before you need it and the safety net it can create. Whether you can manage a dollar a week, $5 or $50 – you have a choice and there is no limit to what you decide.
