A different kind of self-care.

Published: Wed, 04/17/24

Aloha Friends,

I was at Starbucks yesterday getting my favorite FLAT WHITE and the Barrister who knows me well, said.. “You always order the same thing.” I told her it's my favorite coffee. I guess I’m a creature of habit, but once American coffee shops learned how to make a FLAT WHITE, I was over the moon. I think the FLAT WHITE is Australia’s gift to the world. Ha! I love meeting friends for coffee. It’s on my list of revenue generating activities because it’s one of those actions that always leads to sales. When I posted this on Instagram this week, a client posted, I have a “coffee chat” scheduled tomorrow.

Create a healthy financial self-care routine

In the busy world of being an entrepreneur, we often overlook a crucial aspect of our financial well-being. While traditional self-care practices like meditation and exercise are important, paying attention to your financial health is equally vital for long-term success.

Many moons ago when I created my first Planner, I always included a section on Managing your Money in your business. Nowadays that section is included in the Planner Hub.

Managing money in your business isn’t just about balancing the books, it’s also about nurturing a healthy relationship with your finances. That’s why it’s important to create a “financial self-care routine” where you’re scheduled to focus on what I simply call... “Money coming IN” and Money going “OUT.”

Here are my recommendations for a Financial self-care routine.

Establish a separate bank account: Keep your personal and business finances separate to maintain organization of your finances.
Keep receipts for business expenses: Document your business expenses. It helps ensure accurate financial tracking.
Track your expenses: Monitor your business expenses to help you identify budgeting for future projects.
Monthly Business recap: Set aside time each month to review your revenues and expenses. This helps with insights into the financial health of your business.
Have a Savings Goal: Establish a clear savings routine - build an emergency fund or plan for future growth opportunities.
Weekly Financial self-care check-in: Find time to maintain and organize your records which helps you with your tax preparation.

By fostering a healthy financial mindset and creating your own financial self-care routine, you’ll enhance your business financial stability and cultivate a greater sense of overall well-being.
