Episode 116: How To Manage Your Money (When The Bigger Checks Come In)

Today I'm getting super transparent (eeek!) about how I manage my money in my business. While it's scary to tell you exactly how much I'm paying myself and everything else, I thought this may be helpful for you as you grow your own business. I talk about the system I use -- Profit First, which comes from a book by Mike Michalowicz. It's been incredibly helpful for me as I've grown my business. I also mention Ramit Sethi (@ramit on IG) and his book I Will Teach You To Be Rich. If you want to grow...
