#167 Setting Expectations is Vital

In this episode, we're diving into a topic that trips up so many women—especially business owners: expecting strategy when you're only getting compliance.

Alpha breaks down the crucial difference between compliance (think: tax returns and BAS statements) and strategy (like cash flow planning and profit analysis). If you’ve ever assumed your accountant or bookkeeper would “just take care of everything,” this episode is a must-listen.

You’ll learn:

  • Why understanding the limits of your financial professionals matters

  • The types of questions to ask to avoid costly assumptions

  • How to bridge the gap between business finances and your personal lifestyle goals

  • Real examples of where money leaks often hide (spoiler: it’s not always shopping!)

Whether you feel stuck, uncertain, or ready to take action, this episode will help you start asking the right questions—and take back your financial confidence.
