My hand literally used to shake. 
Checking the mail was one of my most dreaded tasks…
I would put my key in my mailbox, hold my breath, and pray that there wouldn’t be more mail and bills that I had to deal with inside.
In my 20s, I was a total avoider when it came to my mail — and my money.
My lifeline was creating actual systems. I got things under control so I didn’t have a looming pile stressing me out.
To help you create your happiest year yet, here’s my go-to system for dealing with mail and bills.
First – keep some supplies handy: a letter opener, a recycle bin, and a basket (ideally with divided compartments).
Each day, as you bring in the mail, put down everything else in your hands (including your phone, purse, or child!) and then decide which category the mail falls into:
- To recycle
- To open and pay
- To add to the ‘money date’ short stack for follow-up
Decide on one day each week to be your ‘money date’. Set a repeating time that you will pay the bills, do the filing, and handle any money-related items (including a quick call to your TV or cell phone service providers to negotiate a better deal). Pro tip: If you can’t make that time one week, reschedule it but don’t cancel it.

One of the key learnings from the past 10 months is this…
We all need to embrace the uncertainty — and find our own peace and clarity inside first. Then you can create your entire perspective on your own success (which, by the way, is assured).
You let me know last year that you were starting or growing your business so really… you are already a rockstar for committing to thriving as a business owner during a pandemic!
But that definitely doesn’t make your life easier.
So what does this mean to you as a business owner?
You need to be willing to take a real look at your business and figure out how you can make money (sustainably) in this current economy — starting with what sustainable would even mean for you.
If you want to stand up and make sure that you have the money in your business on the right track so you can grow and build on a solid foundation, ALL IN JUST 7 DAYS, then I invite you to do it with me in the Cash Flow CEO Kickstart.

I’m loving the energy the new year brings!
Everyone is excited and setting ambitious goals.
And that’s almost half the battle – just deciding what you want from this new year.
There’s a theme among new and veteran entrepreneurs:
How do you grow your business without the constant grind?
But there’s actually a secret that can unlock more growth than you could imagine possible in 1 short year…
It’s not a fancy marketing scheme or new “funnel” to try. It’s a tried and tested solution:
Knowing your numbers.
Soooo many people tell me they want to have a real handle on their business money (and know their numbers) but they’re afraid to look at it all.
When they finally pull the trigger and get started… it’s eye-opening to see how the money flows in and out of their business.
More importantly, they finally see a path to their business sustainability and continued profitability, no matter what is happening in the economy.
So I’ve decided to give you a no-brainer baby step to fast-track your path to really knowing — and owning — your numbers too.
I just announced it on Friday and perhaps you didn’t see it yet. This could be THE thing holding you and your business back…

It’s here! Finally!
We can all collectively celebrate the end of 2020! But before you think everything will magically get better because it’s a new year…
I want to remind you that — no matter what is going on around you — you are in charge of your own life, specifically how you choose to feel and what you choose to do moment to moment.
I see the same thing happen the first week of every year…
We all wish each other a “Happy New Year,” set resolutions, and then take very little (different) action after the first 2 weeks. Definition of insanity comes to mind.
You know… doing the same thing over and over and yet expecting a different result.
For your life and business to be different (aka BETTER!) this year, you need to really know and understand your numbers.
