Description

In this episode of Business Builders, we’re taking the fear out of forecasting. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not good at math, I can’t do this”—this one’s for you. Staci breaks down how to create a realistic three-month revenue forecast using what you already know about your business, without spreadsheets that make your head spin.

Key topics covered:

• Why forecasting isn’t about being perfect—it’s about getting closer to reality
• What data to use (past trends, capacity, seasonality, and known changes)
• The 4-step method to create a simple, confident three-month forecast
• How to use your forecast to plan marketing, hiring, and avoid revenue dips
• A tip that most business owners miss: factoring in discounts and actual sales prices

Challenge

Map out a 3-month forecast using your current offers. Multiply realistic sales volume by price (adjusted for discounts if needed), and ask: Does this get me to my goal? If not—what actions do you need to take?

Forecasting isn’t about controlling—it’s about leading your business with confidence. You’ve got this!
