If you’ve ever felt like your bank account is having an identity crisis, you’re not alone.
But… it’s not your income that’s the problem.
It’s the complete lack of a system! That’s what makes everything feel like you’re trying to navigate the outer suburbs with a 1985 Melways.
I PROMISE you – this can be fixed.
No complex financial analysis and belt tightening that make your soul die a little every time.
No secret finance language. Just a little bit of structure with a large side of “Oh thank goodness, I can breathe now.”
Here’s the number one mega-common mistake that almost every entrepreneur I work with has made:
Mixing their personal and business money into one giant financial smoothie (and forgetting to throw in the chia seeds)
A good income month feels like payday at the casino… until a few weeks later when the panic sets in and you’re wondering if you can pawn that ugly old vase your mum gave you (Spoiler: it’s Kmart circa 1994, but she’ll still notice if it’s missing.)
Cue the guilt, the 3am mental math and the cycle of “I’ll definitely get on top of this NEXT month – right after I binge this Netflix series”
What if you could feel as calm about your money as you do after a yoga class—even when your income is hopping around all over the place?
Let’s make it happen!
Here’s my 3-step money flow method – that only takes 5 minutes – and brings the kind of peace no fancy handbag ever could.
First, tally what came in over the last week or month (whatever rhythm works for you).
Don’t overthink it—just take stock. Like checking what’s in the fridge before ordering takeout.
Next, if you were a bit short last month & borrowed from your tax account or covered business expenses with your own funds, repay that FIRST.
This step is your nervous system’s new BFF. It puts an end to that awful feeling that you’re always playing catch-up.
And finally—this is the magic part: Take any money that’s left over and give it JUST – ONE – JOB.
- That might be building a buffer to have your back on low-income months.
- It might be paying off debt or boosting your wealth creation.
- Or it might be for investing in business growth.
The key is to pick just ONE.
Cause when you spread money out, it gets diluted – just like when you’re watching TV and scroll Instagram at the same time and end up absorbing neither.
But when you choose ONR priority, you create traction. And build actual momentum.
I know you might be thinking. “But what if I mess it up?”
Gorgeous, the only mistake is not having a plan.
Once you start managing your money with actual intention, everything changes.
You stop reacting from fear and start leading your business like a CEO – rather than a work experience kid who’s too afraid to ask where the bathroom is.
You’ll make pricing decisions with confidence.
You’ll stop taking on clients who make you want to fake your own death just to get out of it.
And you’ll finally be able to EXHALE – because you KNOW your business can support you—not just today, but next month, the month after that – and the month after that.
