Are your business financials flabby (or, worse, non-existent)?
Do you struggle with financial discipline?
Would finally understanding your business’s cash flow feel like winning Olympic Gold?
If your business numbers overwhelm you, you’re not alone:
60% of small business owners feel they aren't knowledgeable when it comes to your financials.
When you started your business, you started with passion. You wanted to change the world – or at least, your corner of it. You were excited to enroll new customers, launch new products and programs…and make BANK.
What you didn’t plan for were the spreadsheets, the math problems, or figuring out how to actually pay yourself (and your team) consistently.
We’ll teach you the ABCs of financial management – step by step in a way that actually makes sense (no jargon and no complicated math or formulas here!).
Introducing…
Fiscal Fitness Bootcamp
Small Business Finances Made Simple
Over the course of 6 weeks, you’ll gain the skills you need to confidently and accurately track your business finances so that you can do things like predict cash flow, plan for the unexpected, track payroll, and more.
Hi, I’m Judi - Your Fiscal Fitness Coach
As GrowthCast’s founder, I am passionate about helping businesses achieve financial health. I’ll teach you how to manage your financials in a hands-on, easy-to-understand way, and implement the tools and processes that make sense in your business.
Every business I help benefits from my years of experience managing teams across a variety of industries and sizes (from start-ups to Fortune 100 corporations).
It’s time to make your cash flow!

All the questions, concerns, and furrowed brows just kind of get relief from Judi’s easy-going problem solving and really fast creative thinking.
Judi took some rather intimidating issues and suggested very digestible ways to approach them and gave me a checklist to help me keep things on track.
When you enroll in Fiscal Fitness Bootcamp, you’ll learn exactly how to implement a proven, simple financial process designed for businesses like yours.
With our help, our clients are able to scale their businesses beyond “multi-6-figure” earnings and break the 7-figure ceiling…and with the Bootcamp, you can see incredible growth, too.
Fiscal Fitness Bootcamp is the only program you need to finally understand your business finances. Packed with quick, 20-minute on-demand video lessons, downloadable tools, and resources to accelerate your success, you’ll wonder why you waited so long to finally do something about your business’s money.
In fact, when someone asked, "what software are you using in the Bootcamp? Is it something else I need to buy? Or is it Excel, Google?" This was my answer:
You do not need any specific software to succeed in the Bootcamp. Inside the Bootcamp, we use both QuickBooks Online and Excel for demonstration purposes - but what you learn will be relevant regardless of the platform and tools you use. You will need to have a ‘real’ accounting software (not a spreadsheet, or a notebook, not a box of paper stuff). If you don’t already use an accounting software, don’t worry; we’ll get you set up in the course, and there are plenty of low-cost and even free options available. You’ll be glad you have it when you see how much insight you can get!

Answers to Your Questions:
How long will I have access to the course?
All students have lifetime access to the Bootcamp, including updates & revisions.
Is the reference to 12 weeks because there are 12 segments or because that’s the way you suggest they pace it?
12 weeks means that students would have 2 weeks per module - the lessons are short (~20 minutes each), and then there are assignments to implement the learnings in your business. Of course, the Bootcamp is self-paced, so you can complete the program as you are able.
What’s the total time commitment to go through the (video?) course?
The course is self-paced, but I do recommend 12 weeks. There are six lessons, as well as twice-monthly coaching calls.
Can I start the Bootcamp anytime, or do you have enrollment and start dates?
We do not (currently) have start dates, which means that as soon as you enroll, you can start the Bootcamp.
Do the Group Calls expire?
All Bootcamp members are invited to join their Judi for a LIVE group (video) call each month on the 2nd Tuesday at 1 pm ET and the 4th Wednesday at 3 pm ET for group coaching & implementation.
If you know where your money is, you can make better business decisions.
