Smart Cuts: How to Reduce Business Expenses Without Killing Growth
Description
In this episode of Mike and Blaine, we tackle one of the toughest parts of running a business—cutting costs without cutting corners. Some owners approach expense reduction like a surgeon—precise, deliberate, and strategic—while others swing the axe wildly and end up hurting their own growth. Mike and Blaine break down how to trim the fat and keep the muscle in your business.
You’ll learn when to make small, smart cuts versus when to make bold moves, how to spot waste hiding in plain sight, and why your expense spreadsheet may be lying to you. We also share real stories from businesses that nailed their cost-cutting strategy—and a few that didn’t. If you’ve ever stared at your budget wondering what stays and what goes, this episode is your playbook for cutting the right way.
