Some believe you must spend money to make money, but that doesn’t give business owners free reign to rack up debt for business expenses and still expect to turn a profit.

In this episode, I explore the pros and cons of incurring debt and why a strategic approach to debt management aligned with your business goals is key to sustainability.

In this episode, you’ll also hear:

• Identifying good debt vs. bad debt
• Managing debt with intention
• Creating a realistic repayment plan
