Why You Need A Small Business Financial Coach

by | Jul 20, 2022

Untangle your personal and business finances, and get a handle on how to manage your money.

Get clarity around your business finances & start making better choices.

If you constantly feel stressed, confused, or overwhelmed about your business finances, it may be time for a small business financial coach.

As a business owner, you are responsible for so much. You have to run your business, grow your business, manage your team, deliver your product, create ideas, market your products, plan your success, manage your finances – and so much more.

It can feel so overwhelming at times, especially when it comes to your cash flow. Most small business owners were never taught how to manage their income and profit.

Yes, most of us have a vague understanding of how much is coming in and how much is going out, but that isn’t enough to be successful.


Reality check from a small business financial coach.

According to Zip Recruiter, as of May 2022, the average business owner in the United States pays themselves an annual salary of $55,559 a year. That works out to be approximately $26.71 an hour, $1,068/week, or $4,630/month and that’s just the national average. I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sound like a salary that’s very comfortable to live off of!

So the hard truth is that most business owners today don’t pay themselves nearly enough money to survive. 

They mix their personal and business finances together, creating a mess. They feel stressed, embarrassed, alone, upset, resentful, and discouraged, and that is no way to run a business.

A lot of times this will leak over into their personal lives and finances as well. With a small business financial coach, that can all change. 

You can get clarity around your business finances and start making better choices. You can create financial systems that help you successfully manage your money. You can pay yourself first so you can live the life you want. You can pay down your debts so you aren’t a slave to payments anymore. You can receive the compassionate support you deserve and a partner on the road to financial freedom for your personal and business life. 

Stop wondering where your money is going. Untangle your personal and business finances, and get a handle on how to manage your money. Stop feeling shameful for something that is not your fault. Take accountability and make a difference in your life!

How to Get Through the Holidays Without Blowing Your Budget

Do you already know how this will end? A stretched budget. A maxed-out card. A January bill you are dreading before December even starts. If that is the pattern every year, I want to offer you something different this time. Not a guilt trip about spending too much. A...

How to Actually Pay Yourself When You Run Your Own Business

Do you know what you actually paid yourself last month? Not what your business brought in. What you personally kept. If the honest answer is nothing, or "whatever was left over," you are not alone. A lot of business owners treat paying themselves like something for...

How to Feel More Confident With Your Money (Even Before Everything Is Fixed)

Are you waiting to feel confident about your money until everything is "perfect"? Until the debt is gone. Until the savings account looks right. Until you finally feel like you have this whole thing figured out. If that is you, I want to gently push back. Because...

When DIY Money Advice Stops Working (And What to Do Next)

Let's start with an honest question. Has anything actually changed in the last year? Not in theory. Not "I have been meaning to." Actually changed. Is your debt lower? Is your savings account growing? Do you feel less stressed, less guilty, less like you are running...

Why You Feel Bad With Money (Even If You Make Good Money)
