The Hidden Cash Flow Strategies Every Service Business Should Be Using

Cory Mosley

In this dynamic episode of the Grow Business Podcast, Cory Mosley and Lon Graham tackle the challenges of navigating a volatile economy with both strategy and humor—kicking off with a lighthearted story from a wrestling tournament before diving into the serious business of growth in uncertain times.

The episode centers on helping business leaders thrive amidst economic turbulence, tariffs, and shifting consumer behavior. Cory emphasizes the importance of staying informed without becoming overwhelmed, urging listeners to adopt a mindset of preparation over panic.

The conversation explores Cory’s five principles of business growth—mindset, sales, marketing, operations, and people—and how each one must adapt in a price-sensitive and rapidly changing market.

Main Takeaways:

Value Over Price: Shift from discount-driven selling to value-based conversations that focus on outcomes and ROI.
Know Your Clients: Engage top customers to understand their pain points and uncover new opportunities.
Strengthen Cash Flow: Offer prepayment incentives to bolster working capital.
Resilient Marketing: Communicate stability, test recession-proof offers, and speak directly to customer concerns.
Flexible Operations: Build buffers into supply chains, cut inefficiencies, and monitor pricing closely.
Invest in People: Use non-cash incentives to retain talent and maintain morale during uncertainty.

The hosts introduce the idea of a Resilience Scorecard, encouraging businesses to assess their pricing flexibility, revenue sources, team adaptability, and contingency planning. It’s a proactive approach that isn’t just for crisis mode—but a blueprint for long-term growth and stability.

Above all, Cory and Lon remind listeners to filter the noise, stay curious, and lead with clarity—because in uncertain times, clear communication and strong leadership are more powerful than ever.

The Spiritual Side of Entrepreneurship: Purpose, Resistance & Growth | Special Edition

By Cory Mosley • August 12, 2026

In this special edition of the Grow Business Podcast, Cory Mosley sits down with longtime friend, entrepreneur, speaker, and business coach Mary Foley to explore a side of business that doesn't always get talked about: the spiritual journey of entrepreneurship. Drawing from her experience in corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, professional speaking, and coaching, Mary shares how building a business can reveal who you are, challenge what you believe, and force you to confront fear, resistance, discipline, and purpose. From doing the revenue-generating work you may want to avoid to navigating difficult seasons and questioning whether you're still on the right path, Cory and Mary discuss why growing a business often requires just as much internal growth as it does strategy. Whether you're an entrepreneur, small business owner, leader, or someone navigating a challenging season in business, this conversation offers a different perspective on what it really takes to keep moving forward. Inside this episode: Why entrepreneurship can be a spiritual journey The importance of aligning your business with purpose Why building a business can reveal and strengthen your character How fear and resistance can hold entrepreneurs back Why difficult seasons don't always mean it's time to quit The importance of understanding your deeper "why" Why revenue-generating activities have to remain a priority How accountability helps turn intentions into action Why CEOs still need to think like salespeople The role perseverance plays in long-term business growth Why entrepreneurship isn't necessarily the right path for everyone How business challenges can develop courage, discipline, humility, patience, faith, and gratitude
