Exploring the “Debt Whirlpool” which business owners can fall into, he says interest payments can feel overwhelming and stifle growth.
He shares a simple three-step framework to help you manage debt effectively and leverage it to drive success.
He states the first step to breaking free is to assess and categorise your debt, and understanding where your money is going is crucial.
