      Today’s episode is sponsored by BDOW!, formerly Sumo, the very best intelligent form and pop-up tool for your website. Deliver the right message, to the right visitor, using our advanced targeting rules. Whether you want to display a pop-up to only new visitors, or generate a unique discount code for those who subscribe to your list, you can get the job done using BDOW!

      One of my personal favorite features is the Showit tab function. Basically how this works is when visitors close the pop-up, it minimizes to the bottom of the page so that visitors can open it back up if they’d like, but it also remains out of their way while they browse. You can check out how that feature works over at the Davey and Krista website.

      We’re diving into

      • ways to effectively budget as a small business owner
      • which numbers you should be paying attention to
      • how to avoid common financial pitfalls

      We also share a few of our favorite business tools that make money management more simple.

      And if you happen to listen to this episode the week it comes out, Shanna is teaching a free class on Thursday, January 23rd, to help give you a Financial Fresh Start. I’ll include a link in the show notes.
