☕ Coffee with Beth: Let’s Celebrate Women in Business!

October is Women’s Small Business Month, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by showing a little love to the women building businesses every day. 💗

We all know that running a business takes a lot of hard work, determination, and probably more coffee than we’d like to admit. ☕️😂

So, let’s use this month to support the women in our circles!

Know a woman who owns a business? Tag her below, share her business, or tell us what she does. You might just introduce her to her next client, customer, or great connection.

And I’ll start us off in the comments! 👇🏼

🍂 Hello, October!

We’re officially in the final quarter of 2026. How did THAT happen? 😂

Q4 is a great time to take a look at where your business stands, what you’ve accomplished so far, and what you still want to tackle before the end of the year.

A few things worth checking in on this month:

☕ Are your books up to date?
🍁 Are you on track with your revenue and profit goals?
☕ How is your cash flow looking?
🍁 Are there expenses you need to review before year-end?
☕ What’s ONE thing you’d really like to accomplish before December 31?

There’s still plenty of time left in 2026. You don’t have to tackle everything at once. Pick a priority and start there.
What’s on your Q4 list?

One day left before Q4. 👀

Forget the giant year-end to-do list for a minute.

If you could choose ONE area of your business that needs the most attention heading into the final quarter of 2026, what would it be?

A. Cash flow & profitability
B. Revenue & sales
C. Marketing & client growth
D. Team & operations
E. Bookkeeping & tax planning

The temptation is to say all of them. 😂

But choosing the one that needs your attention most can help you decide where to focus first instead of trying to fix everything at once.

So, CEO check-in: A, B, C, D or E? 👇

Happy National Coffee Day! ☕️

Because running a business without coffee sounds like an unnecessary challenge. 😂

Now for the important question...

What’s your go-to coffee order? ☕️👇

More sales. More clients. More revenue.

Those are usually the numbers business owners focus on when they're thinking about growth.

But there's another number worth knowing: your break-even point.

That's the amount of revenue your business needs to generate to cover its costs before you actually start making a profit.

Knowing that number can change the way you think about your goals.

Instead of simply saying, “I want to make $500,000 this year,” you can start asking:

💰 How much does it cost to operate the business?
💰 How much revenue do we need just to cover those costs?
💰 At what point do we actually start making money?
💰 How much revenue do we need to generate the profit we want?

Because growing revenue is great. Growing profit is better.

Knowing your break-even point gives you a much clearer starting point for setting revenue goals, pricing your services, controlling expenses, and making decisions about growth.

Do you know your business's break-even point?

☕ Consider this your fair warning before you hit the follow button.

Around here, we're going to talk about numbers. A lot. 😂

We're going to remind you to look at your financial reports instead of just checking your bank balance.

We're going to explain financial terms without making them unnecessarily complicated.

We're going to talk about using your numbers to make better business decisions.

And yes, we're probably going to remind you to talk with your tax professional and plan ahead for taxes, too.

Because knowing your numbers shouldn't be something you only think about when there's a problem.

So... still want to follow us? 😉

🧾 Reconciling your bank account is important. But it isn't the only account that deserves attention every month.

A good month-end review goes beyond checking the bank balance.

Depending on your business, we may also need to review or reconcile:

✔️ Checking and savings accounts
✔️ Credit cards
✔️ Payment processor accounts
✔️ Business loans
✔️ Payroll accounts and liabilities
✔️ Accounts receivable
✔️ Accounts payable

Why does it matter?

Because an account can have a balance in QuickBooks that looks perfectly reasonable and still be wrong.

Old transactions, duplicate entries, unapplied payments, missing fees and incorrect loan payments can all affect your financial reports.

Clean books aren't just about categorizing transactions. They're about making sure the numbers actually make sense.

Q4 is almost here. Are you heading into it with a plan? 🍂

The last quarter of the year isn't just about finishing strong. It's also a chance to look at where your business stands, decide what still matters this year, and start preparing for what's next.

A few things worth reviewing before Q4 begins:

🎯 Your revenue goal: Are you on track? If not, what would need to happen during the next three months?

📣 Your marketing: What are you doing to keep leads coming in and build momentum heading into 2027?

📚 Your books: Are they current, reconciled, and giving you reliable numbers to make decisions from?

📅 Year-end: What needs to be cleaned up or addressed now so you're not scrambling in December or January?

And remember, your goals aren't carved in stone. If something changed during the year, adjust the plan based on what you know now.

Q4 isn't here quite yet. There's still time to be intentional about how you finish 2026.

What's one goal you're focused on for Q4?
