The Profit Without Panic Podcast

In this episode of Profit Without Panic, Amelia is joined by business coach Gráinne O’Regan for a refreshingly honest conversation about sales, messaging and building revenue without the constant stress. Gráinne works primarily with female coaches and service providers, helping them clearly communicate the value of what they do so they can attract dream clients and fill their offers – without the pressure, pushiness or panic that so often comes with selling. Together, Amelia and Gráinne explore what really causes sales anxiety, why so many business owners struggle to articulate their value, and how confidence, clarity and lived experience play a huge role in sustainable growth. If sales feel heavy, uncomfortable, or emotionally draining, this episode will help you reframe them.

This week on Profit Without Panic, we’re joined by the man who started it all, Mike Michalowicz, creator of the Profit First system and author of multiple bestselling business books. In this episode, Mike shares the real story behind Profit First, why so many business owners are stuck in financial stress despite “doing well”, and what actually needs to change if you want a business that supports your life instead of draining it. We talk about entrepreneurial panic, the emotional side of money, why revenue is a terrible measure of success, and how simple systems can completely transform how you feel about your business. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m making money, but it never feels like enough”, this conversation is for you. Show Notes In this episode of Profit Without Panic, Amelia and Lynn sit down with the one and only Mike Michalowicz, author of Profit First, Clockwork, Pumpkin Plan and the upcoming Money Habits. We cover: • How Profit First was born from Mike’s own financial rock bottom • Why so many successful business owners still live in constant money stress • The emotional and behavioural side of profit and cash flow • Why paying yourself first isn’t just a system, it’s a mindset shift • What Irish and UK business owners especially struggle with when it comes to money • How to build a business that creates calm, not chaos This is a powerful, honest conversation about money, identity, fear, and what it really means to build a business that works for you, not the other way around.

We’ve just landed back from ProfitCon UK & Ireland 2025 — and we’re still buzzing. This week, we’re switching things up with a proper debrief: the good, the inspiring, and the little moments that stuck with us. ProfitCon is basically the annual Profit First nerd gathering. Bookkeepers, accountants, strategists, and business owners all geeking out over money, mindset, and building better businesses. And honestly… we loved every second. In this episode, we’re sharing the standout speakers, the ideas that hit home, and why being “a bit weird” in the accounting world is actually our superpower.

One month you’re flying high, invoices paid, money in the bank, and you’re feeling unstoppable. The next? You’re panicking about salaries, suppliers, and the tax bill. Welcome to the dreaded feast-or-famine cycle. In this episode of Profit Without Panic, Amelia and Lynn explore why many business owners become stuck on this rollercoaster, especially in the early years, and how to break free from it. From the temptation to spend every time a big payment comes in, to the stress of going months without paying yourself, we’ve seen it all (and lived it too). If you’re tired of yo-yo finances and want more stability in your business, this one’s for you.

You’re bringing in cash. The invoices are paid. On paper, your business looks good, so why does it still feel like you’re broke every month? In this episode of Profit Without Panic, we’re getting real about the disconnect between income and actually feeling financially secure. Amelia and Lynn share their own stories from the early days, chasing revenue, hitting salary goals, but still struggling because of hidden costs, investments, and a lack of a clear money plan. If you’ve ever thought “I just need to make more money and then I’ll feel fine”… this episode is for you. Spoiler: it’s not just about making more, it’s about managing what you’ve got.
