Your Business Has a YOU Machine Too — And It Might Be Huge

I recently had a difficult but important realization while going through the Money Machine Framework.

After doing a brutally honest financial audit, I expected to find that I was the source of the spending issues.

But the problem wasn’t personal at all.

It was my business that had the YOU Machine problem.

Unnecessary tools, oversized expenses, and “nice-to-have” purchases were consuming nearly every dollar we earned. The company was burning fuel as fast as it produced it — leaving no margin, no stability, and no capacity to invest in real growth.

The turning point was recognizing something simple but easy to overlook:

A business can have a YOU Machine just like a person can. And mine had quietly grown far too large.

That insight shifted everything about how I make financial decisions.

In addition to assessing your own YOU Machine, it’s just as important to assess the YOU Machine of your business as well.

What do you think?
