But so many businesses are complicated, and it slows us down. In this episode of Money Secrets , Fi shares her live keynote from the inaugural Ripple Festival in Melbourne , exploring how small business owners can make business easier without sacrificing growth, money or impact .     From trying to serve everyone and creating bespoke everything, to working seven days a week and holding onto plans that clearly aren’t working, Fi explored the ways business owners make running their business harder than it needs to be.  The vision needs to be stronger than the plan. Know where you want to go, but stay flexible enough to change how you get there.     Fi explores our relationship with money and why money itself isn’t good or bad.
