Interview Patty

Making Money But Having Little

May 06, 2025

“For business owners, it often feels like the need to serve is fighting with the need to sell. The spirit of self-sacrifice we learned from our role models steps in front of our business goals and blocks the view – making it incredibly difficult to achieve our goals.” – Excerpt from Patty Block’s bestselling book, Your Hidden Advantage: Unlock the Power to Attract Right-fit Clients and Boost Your Revenue

Imagine a huge chasm, like the Grand Canyon. On one side, you see all your loyal, wonderful clients and the revenue they generate. On the other side, you see your bank statements. All that space in-between represents the time between the work and the payments.

That chasm is dangerous and threatening for every business owner, no matter how successful you are. You may periodically struggle to pay yourself, your staff, and your bills unless you find a way to navigate that canyon…

 

Today’s BlockbustHER BrainteasHER:

 

While revenue production is the core goal for every business, the real magic is in understanding and managing your cash cycle.

What strategies are you using to collect payments quickly?

 

Here’s the Twist . . .

 

Four huge elements influence the profitability of your business:

  1. Pricing your services
  2. Business development and sales
  3. Effectively managing your billings and collections
  4. Controlling your expenses

Now What?

 

Are you stuck in your Second Act?

Have you built a profitable and valuable business but instead of feeling like there's something missing, you’re feeling like there's something more?

If you’ve built an accounting firm, a law firm, a financial services firm, a psychology practice, or a specialty consulting firm that is generating $1 million to $10 million in annual revenue, you are in a prime market.

Larger firms and companies are growing by buying other firms. This has long been the case, but we’re seeing a higher rate than ever.

In a tragic twist, I see too many women who actually lose their company instead of exiting on their own terms. The exit process is filled with pitfalls and complex issues – especially for women.

I’ve built my business as an advocate, and I specialize in helping women founders transition to their Third Act – when you’re ready to do the work you’ve always longed to do.

As your advocate, by definition, I’m looking out for your best interests. I am not taking a brokerage fee, commission, or equity. I am not motivated by how quickly the exit moves or the final dollar amounts. I want what you want – and will help you get it.

In my experience, women don't retire; they transition into a new stage of purpose and impact. Whether you are 40 or 60, the idea of retirement may not appeal to you. Just because you can retire doesn’t mean you’ll want to.

Are you ready to work the magic of your cash cycle?

That requires a new way of thinking, new skills, a simple and elegant design, and an advocate by your side. Contact me to learn more.

A Note from Patty...

My life’s work is empowering high-achieving women business owners to fine-tune their operations and scale their revenue for strategic growth, creating real business value and emerging exit ready. That value can transform into wealth when they are ready to exit their company - and I believe that wealth in the hands of women elevates society as a whole.
