More, more, more, MORE. 

This is what we’ve been trained as business owners to think we need. 

More clients. 

More time in a day.

More money in the bank.

But where does all this get us?

More tired.

We say things to ourselves like…

Once I have 5 monthly clients, I’ll hire that virtual assistant.

Once I make 10k a month, I’ll be able to afford that business coach. 

And I totally understand why you’re thinking that. It’s what we’ve been taught. Don’t spend unnecessarily. Don’t spend more than you have. 

But when you really think about it… is hiring part-time help or a coach to help you reach your next level and have a life unnecessary?

Time is a precious commodity. 

It’s your one resource that is not renewable. 

As an entrepreneur (and many of us as a parent too), we are constantly juggling how we spend our time — for yourself, your family, and your business. We think we are the best multi-taskers in the world…

Like I think I can reply to a text and listen to my husband or children, but really I’m either typing the wrong thing or not giving them my full attention. You know what I mean? Oh boy, am I trying to break this bad habit because it drives my husband crazy…

The reality though is that we can’t get our time back.

There is only so much time available. It is a finite resource, but we can always create more money. 

As one of my mentors James Wedmore says, “When you value your time as much as you value your money, you’ll have plenty of both.”

So although you may feel like you either “have no time” or “have the time but not the money”, I want you today to consider how neither is true.

It’s all about how you are spending your time — and your money.

How do you handle the money in your business? 

Are you the kind of business owner who uses spreadsheets or a software to track income and expenses? Or do you just hope you don’t spend more than you make each month? 

There’s absolutely no judgement here. 

Money is the only common thing among all businesses… 

Think about it. Some businesses don’t need or use social media. Some only get new business from referrals. Some run entirely offline. 

But all businesses need money — otherwise it’s a hobby. 

Smart and profitable business owners not only know their financial numbers (like income by month and by income stream, recurring and unusual expenses, and profit) but they also use that information to build their business growth strategy. 

Take my past student, Jess B., for example. She hadn’t even looked at her money situation in some time. 

With the help of Cash Flow CEO, Jess not only looked at her numbers, but analyzed expenditures, cut unnecessary costs, and immediately hit the black (aka more cash was staying IN her bank account) and then got on track for a positive $2000+ profit per month.
