275: We Hit Pause on a HUGE Launch… Here’s Why.
Today this episode is actually us breaking down WHY we decided to pause this huge launch. This episode is going to be a really good listen for you if you’re a natural hustler. If you’re someone who loves being busy, loves the high of launching something and putting it out into the world, or if you’re someone who just feels this constant pressure to “keep up” in a world that consistently tells you to do more, create more, sell more. Every day we are inundated online with competitors, friends, and peers “crushing” it, hitting their goals left and right, and honestly, it feels like if we don’t hustle our butts off to keep up, we’ll be left behind in the dust. ------------------------------ Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/275-we-hit-pause-on-a-huge-launch-heres-why ------------------------------ Determine Your Why Guide: www.theheartuniversity.com/why ------------------------------ Credit.com: www.credit.com/heart To get 7 days absolutely free! ------------------------------ Athletic Greens: www.athleticgreens.com/HEART ------------------------------ If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here. ------------------------------ PODCAST10 for 10% off anything from The Shop! www.theheartuniversity.com/shop ------------------------------ Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

272: Bookkeeping, Payroll, and Learning to Understand the Finances in Your Business as a Creative Entrepreneur with LoriAnn Kuntz
Today LoriAnn dropped SO. MUCH. Information… but in the most easy-to-understand and approachable way possible. She covered questions such as: what’s the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant? Which should I hire first? Benefits of being a Sole proprietor vs an LLC vs an S-Corp when it comes to your books and taxes? How to logistically pay yourself as an owner depending on if you’re a Sole proprietor and LLC OR if you’re an S-Corp (cause YES - you need to do it differently depending on how your business is set up). How much you can hand over to a bookkeeper vs what you should stay on top of as the owner/CEO? How to approach your finances without being intimidated or overwhelmed, how to set up your finances (easily and quickly) to help push your business to success, and the best softwares and apps to keep tabs on your numbers. ----------------------------- Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/272-bookkeeping-payroll-and-learning-to-understand-the-finances-in-your-business-as-a-creative-entrepreneur-with-loriann-kuntz/ ----------------------------- Niching Down Freebie: www.theheartuniversity.com/niche ----------------------------- Basecamp: www.basecamp.com/heart And sign up today to start a free 30-day trial! ----------------------------- Athletic Greens: www.athleticgreens.com/HEART ----------------------------- Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren The E-Myth Revisted by Michael Gerber ----------------------------- Follow along with LoriAnn: www.instagram.com/loriannkuntz.co www.loriannkuntz.com https://www.loriannkuntz.com/DIY 20% off code: HEART ----------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here. ----------------------------- Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/272-bookkeeping-payroll-and-learning-to-understand-the-finances-in-your-business-as-a-creative-entrepreneur-with-loriann-kuntz/ ----------------------------- PODCAST10 for 10% off anything from The Shop! www.theheartuniversity.com/shop ----------------------------- Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity
