Welcome to Episode Twenty Six of the Design Dialogues Podcast - this week I am talking with Justine McLean from the Flossi Files.

Just like with the business process that I feel so passionate about (and why I started More Time To Design) - all these systems are so important to get right to make sure that your business is profitable and most importantly sustainable. We talk about some of the financial foundations that business owners have and also why it is also so important to have a financial forecast in your business.
