Making more money won’t solve your financial problems. (But this will.) If you make $1 million and spend $1 million, you’re still broke. More money isn’t the answer to your money problems.

Making more money won’t solve your financial problems. (But this will.) If you make $1 million and spend $1 million, you’re still broke. More money isn’t the answer to your money problems. Learning how to live within your means is the answer you need. Not fancy, huh? But effective. Make more than you spend. Following this simple (in theory) rule creates the gap needed to save more, pay your debts, and create wealth. Once you create the gap, then turn on the “make more money” faucet and create your vision. What’s an area of spending you could cut that doesn’t align to your vision?

Remember when your business and personal finances weren’t separate? Oh yea, that’s right now 🤓 You know they SHOULD be separate and keep telling yourself that you’ll separate them, but it feels too hard to separate them at this point.

“My personal and business finances are comingled…how do I separate them?” As a solopreneur, its easy to get sucked into comingled funds. You know they should be separate, but it’s overwhelming (and it’s not a priority) to fathom how to separate them at this point in your business journey. So, here’s a quick step by step guide to separating your business and personal finances: 1. Connect your bank accounts to YNAB. 2. Assign your cash a job in YNAB based on where you think you’ll spend your current cash. 3. Categorize your spending so you can start seeing what is personal vs business spending 4. After you determine your personal vs. business needs, set up an automated transfer to your personal family bank account. And just like that the tangled web of your finances is beginning to separate.

When implementing a budget, don’t make this fatal mistake. Cut all fun from your life. “I spend too much eating out - I need to spend $0, so that’s where I’ll set my budget.” This NEVER works.

When implementing a budget, don’t make this fatal mistake. Cut all fun from your life. “I spend too much eating out - I need to spend $0, so that’s where I’ll set my budget.” This NEVER works. The budget isn’t intended to restrict you from living life. It’s intended to give you a plan to come back to as a baseline. For this food scenario, maybe you notice you’re spending $1,000/month eating out but would prefer to spend $850/month. The budget is then $850/month. Indulge until you get close to your budget and then pump the breaks as you approach it. Will you still occasionally overspend? Yes. But you’ll have a target to aim for and you’ll see how close you are to the target every month. If you need help implementing your *REALISTIC * budget, I’d love to help you: https://buff.ly/49n48AN
