INSIGHT

Three Linked Money Problems

Creative entrepreneurs suffer three linked money problems: imposter syndrome, losing ability to serve, and inconsistent income.
These problems feed each other and create chronic business chaos unless addressed together.

ADVICE

Map Business Before Money Moves

Map your full business including systems, marketing, capacity, and personal goals before making money decisions.
Use that map to create step-by-step financial plans that reduce mindset friction and guide action.

ADVICE

Create A Salary Bank

Build a dedicated salary bank by allocating portions of big months to cover future paychecks.
Keep adding to it until you can cover multiple low months so you never feel desperate to sell.
