Season 1 | Episode 31: Why Revenue Isn’t Freedom — And What to Do About It

In this episode of C-Suite Secrets, Heather Parsons dives into one of the biggest myths in business — the idea that revenue equals freedom. She explores the common struggles entrepreneurs face when they’re growing but not gaining control, and shares how financial clarity, strategic decision-making, and understanding cash flow can help business owners escape the “revenue trap.”

Heather discusses how to align profit and purpose, price confidently, and make decisions that build freedom instead of stress. Whether you’re scaling, stabilizing, or just getting started, this episode will help you see your business through a smarter, calmer financial lens — and remind you that you don’t have to do it alone.
