#951 Monica Roca-Quesada: 💵 Cash Flow Beyond Sales

Send us Fan Mail Why can a profitable business still struggle to produce cash? Fractional CFO and financial operations strategist Monica Roca-Quesada joins Joey Pinz to explain why selling more is not always the solution. Weak margins, unpaid receivables, excess inventory, debt, and poor pricing can leave a growing company looking successful on paper while starving for cash. Monica shares her journey from a teenage ambition to become a criminal attorney to discovering accounting, technology, and systems. After being laid off twice because she had automated her own roles so effectively, she reconsidered the supposed security of traditional employment and built Agile Planners. The conversation explores the difference between accounting and finance, the 16 drivers that influence revenue, cash flow, and profit, and why business owners must become comfortable examining uncomfortable numbers. Monica also discusses leadership, AI, calculated risk, peer groups, and the danger of becoming trapped in a successful business that no longer feels fulfilling. Ultimately, financial clarity is not merely about producing reports. It gives entrepreneurs the confidence to make better decisions, protect their businesses, and return to their zone of genius. **Top Three Highlights** - 💵 Why increasing sales can make a cash-flow problem worse - 📊 How accurate numbers turn instinct into calculated risk - 🔥 Why business success without fulfillment may be the wrong success   \---   Join us for enlightening discussions that spark growth and exploration.  Hosted by Joey Pinz, this Discipline Conversations Podcast offers insights and inspiration.   🎧 Listen on Your Favorite Platforms:  - Spotify (Video): https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joeypinz - Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/joey-pinz-discipline-conversations/id1583997438 - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/69SFwY3XSwcw9qNvElAn10 - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JoeyPinzDisciplineConversations?sub\_confirmation=1   🌐 Explore More:  - Website: https://www.joeypinz.com - Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/joeypinz - Follow on Social Media: @TheJoeyPinz   (Instagram, Twitter (X), Facebook, TikTok, Minds, YouTube) - Subscribe: https://joeypinzconversations.com/subscribe/   🎵 Music by Tom Izzo: @wahlsinger  https://tomizzomusic.com     Would you like to Sponsor Joey Pinz?  Get the prospectus here: www.joeypinz.com/sponsor   💡 Support the Podcast:  • Subscribe: https://joeypinzconversations.com/subscribe/ • Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/joeypinz  • One-Time Payment: https://tinyurl.com/c6dx4hck   Subscribe, follow, and rate with 5 stars if you enjoy these conversations.  Connect with us across various platforms and don't forget to join our newsletter for updates!   #Podcast  #Conversations #PersonalGrowth  #ThoughtLeadership  #Mindfulness #SelfImprovement #LearningJourney  #Motivation #ThoughtProvoking #KnowledgeSharing #LifeLessons #Interviews #Discipline  #InspireChange   #ListenAndLearn  #MeaningfulDialogues  #Empowerment  #Curiosity #JoeyPinzChats #JoeyPinz #JoeyPinzDiscipline #JPC #JoeyPinnzConversations #PodMatch     Want to be a guest on Joey Pinz Discipline Conversations?
