Are you thinking that it was hard to make ends meet even before Covid? And does that make you wonder how your business could possibly survive now with social distancing requirements? Have you spent most of your career working hard and praying that the money side will work out once you get busy enough? And, while you are super happy to just be going back to work, are you also worried about how your bank account and your business will work out?
was hard to make ends meet even before Covid? And does that make you wonder how your business could possibly survive now with social distancing requirements?   Have you spent most of your career working hard and praying that the money side will work out once you get busy enough?  And, while you are super happy to just be going back to work, are you also worried about how your bank account and your business will work out?

Imagine if you could know your cash flow in advance so a lack of funds is never again a surprise.

Imagine you could then make proactive empowered financial decisions for your business so that you are able to focus on serving your community and your staff.

Wait! What's included for $99?

(such a great question!)

  • Video lessons

    The Reset Relaunch road trip has 2 tutorial videos to set the stage and walk you thru the spreadsheet cash flow tool so that you know how to use it in your business as often as you want to manage your cash flow.

  • Cash Flow Toolkit

    It's a fancy spreadsheet where all the formulas are set-up for you so all you have to do is plug and play!

  • Workbook

    The workbook will also walk you thru all of the tools and provide you with a checklist so that you are all set in knowing your cash flow run rate and are planning for profit.

  • Private Facebook group

    An online community to connect- with other hospitality business owners and me to ask questions. And where I'll host the added bonus of a bi-weekly FAQ workshop.

  • Time...

    It's a crazy weird time right now and we are all on slow motion and super busy at the same time. You get to keep these resources and tools forever. They are yours to keep so their is no time limit. This toolkit will take about 3 hours of focused time so I estimate 3 days. You can go slower and you can take more time- it's up to you.

  • It's proprietary

    While I think this is a great resource and I hope it becomes part of your business- my work is my livelihood and I ask that you do not share it with others. It's priced low so that it is financially accessible.

Bicycle Banh Mi

by Jessie

Deagon helped Bicycle Banh Mi develop our financial model. The process of developing this model laid a foundation for us to evaluate the viability of our business. Deagon guided us through a deep dive and exploration of our cost of goods sold (COGS). This opened the door for us to evaluate the items on our menu that weren’t profitable or financially feasible. Had we not done this, we wouldn’t have been able to analyze what was working and what was hindering us. Getting to this point was one of the most eye opening milestones in our business. The numbers tell a story of where we are now and where we want to be in the future.

Cabana Dave's

by Dave

For a variety of reasons, I couldn’t figure out what I needed to do to take my business to the next level. We thought we were doing all the right things, but weren’t as successful as we should have been. Once we started working with Deagon, the error of our ways became abundantly clear. Over the course of our working relationship, Deagon’s advice and counsel had the following impact on our business: • We opened a new component to our business that drove significant growth • Our wedding catering business grew by 30% • We became the exclusive caterer for one of the top vineyards • Our private catering business increased by 25% • We increased our business by 25% with one of our largest existing clients • We jettisoned some loss leaders to be able to take on more profitable long-term business • And we grew our total business by – 66% year over last year

Food Business Course Feedback

by Cynthia

Deagon is an absolute treasure. I’d love to have her as a stakeholder or influencer in any business and I know many others feel the same!”

Goldmine

by Rachael

Deagon was an essential part of my business' launch. She gave me the foundation to financially understand my business, my model, and how my product can succeed. One thing I've learned is that finances are always changing, so we will most definitely be hiring Deagon again to take at a look at how we're doing business, refresh our financial structure, and make our business more efficient + effective.

Sandcastle on the Beach

by Chris

Deagon Williams wants you to succeed. In fact, she thrives on delivering valuable business information, time saving ideas and honest feedback. She has no fear stepping in and evaluating issues as well as praising what is already working. I am incredibly grateful for the depth of knowledge and information she shared and applied with the restaurant and with me personally as an owner.

Jittery John's

by Kristina

The work we did together was incredibly necessary and timely. I feel absolutely great about the work. I wish I'd met and engaged you to help me with my financial model years earlier!

Pomella- Ba-Bite

by Mica

When I first met Deagon, I was looking for help. I new I had a problem, just not what it was, or how to fix it. At the time I had my catering company for 12 years, and a restaurant that just turned one. Everything was going well, and not good enough. Deagon came, and looked, really looked. She asked question and spent time with our employees. She didn’t wave a magic wand, she did better, she taught me how to recognize and solve my problems. With her guidance we reorganized the menu, both content and styling, so it was easier for our customers. We made some changes to layout for better flow, and the most eye opening – we learned how to standardize procedures, and train, train, train. Deagon did much more than help me fix a problem, though she did that too, she forever changed the way I do things, she gave me tools. Now I consult with her before making moves to prevent problems, to set things up right so I don’t have to fix them. Deagon is the expert eye, who lives outside of your head, and points you in the right direction.
