Description

In this solo episode of The Entrepreneur’s Blueprint, I share the story of when I first realized that inventory isn’t just “stuff on shelves”—it’s cash flow. I talk about the lessons I learned early on in my career, from walking a warehouse floor when cash was tight to navigating the challenges of selling seasonal, year-dated product.

You’ll hear why inventory can be both your biggest asset and your biggest risk, and I’ll walk through the systems and processes I now use with clients to ensure it never sinks their business.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• The hard lesson I learned when inventory determined whether we had breathing room—or panic
• Why excess inventory creates invisible costs beyond just cash flow
• Practical strategies for smarter forecasting and aligning inventory with sales pacing
• Creative ways to move slow-selling products
• How to make inventory management part of your ongoing growth strategy
