3 Biggest Money Mistakes Business Owners Make

Master the Sales Game

Today's topic. I think it is so important, but sometimes it can be scary to talk about money, right?

In this episode, my good friend Belinda and I are talking about the 3 biggest money mistakes business owners make that cause you to work a lot harder than you actually need to.

Belinda Rosenblum, CPA and Money Strategist, founded Own Your Money and created the signature Cash Flow CEO program, to help ambitious women entrepreneurs grow a more strategic, profitable business so they work less, profit more, and finally take home real money consistently.

Belinda is also the coauthor of SELF-WORTH TO NET WORTH: 12 Keys To Creating Wealth Inside And Out, and became a self-made millionaire at 33. She believes money management + entrepreneurship can be fun and provide true lifestyle freedom — after all, isn’t that why we got into business? If she’s not inspiring you to be your best self, Belinda is likely enjoying the sunshine and chasing after her marathon-running husband, college junior step-daughter, and 2 spirited young kids.

If you want to know why learning how to sell and have a better understanding of how to manage your money go together like peanut butter and jelly you want to stay tuned for this discussion.

Biggest Takeaways:

• Money is simply an exchange of value and a tool for each of us to use.
• Focusing on your own Profit Plan instead of comparing your results to big launch numbers that folks talk about will help you stay aligned to what’s important for you.
• Why not all revenue is created equally.
• The biggest reason why as business owners we often are afraid to bring in more money because we’re afraid we won’t be a good steward with it and think it may be easier to just have less.
