Your Business Budget, Finally Simplified

When you hear the word budget, what comes to mind? For most small business owners, it’s either a complicated spreadsheet they never look at… or a constant reminder that money is going out faster than it’s coming in. But here’s the truth: budgeting doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, the simpler you make it, the more powerful it becomes. In this episode of Grit and Growth Business, Ralph shares his proven 3-Bucket Budget System that has helped countless business owners move from chaos to clarity. You’ll hear real stories of entrepreneurs who went from being broke, stressed, and underpaid—to finally paying themselves, saving for taxes, and feeling confident about their future.

You’ll discover:
Why 82% of small businesses fail (and how to avoid being part of that statistic)
How to set up three simple buckets: Operations, Owner’s Pay, and Future Profit
Benchmarks for each bucket so your business pays you instead of the other way around
Why budgeting isn’t a prison—it’s a roadmap that gives you freedom and confidence

Don’t let your bank account control you. Take charge today with a system that actually works.
