It's easy to stay rich. Nobody believes me.


Hello Reader,

Everyone always laughs, but it really is easy to get rich.

The secret is, getting rich is also boring. That’s what makes it hard to stick to.

I got to dive deep into this on The Profitable Travel Blogger Podcast.

In this case, Jessie, the podcast host, asked me back after a wildly successful tax workshop to support content creators with actual wealth creation, not just revenue generation for their blogs.

It was a powerful conversation where I got to wear both my CFO hat and my tax advisor hat. It's such a great demonstration of why you need both.

Here are three of the things I talk about at length:

Why it's so easy to get rich, and why nobody believes me. Nobody wants to stick to it because it's boring. So our money stories make us freak out, blow it all up, and make it way harder than it needs to be. Learn my monthly cash habit that keeps founders steady and richer.

Why founders with irregular income need to think about cash flow differently. If you're a content creator or an expert brand, your savings strategy has to be different even from other types of entrepreneurs. (Hint: you need more in cash and more in high yield investments, and less in the middle.)

How I know if someone is going to be a 6, 7, or 8-figure brand when we start working together. Jessie surprised me with this question. I've gotten to see what people do at million-dollar and multi-million-dollar brands, and she asked what makes them different to work with that we could all learn from.

Be profitable, Katherine

I'm excited for...

This weekend is my daughter's birthday party!

Toddlers are fickle. For 11 months, she was asking for an avocado party. Then 3 weeks ago, she decided she wanted a 101 Dalmatians party.

So I'm doing 101 guacamoles. Let's go!

I also put spots on her cake. Creative problem solving, y'all.

Favorite Thing...

Do you love romantasy fiction?

Would you like to read a judge’s takedown of romantasy in a copyright ruling?

An unpublished author sued the author of the Crave series, claiming she copied her work. The judge’s response, in short: you can’t copyright the tropes of your own genre.

My favorite line? “Hot boys are a staple of the genre.”

A real judge wrote that in a real legal decision, after reading upwards of 6,000 pages of romantasy fiction for this case.

​It’ll be the funniest thing you read all week. You’re welcome.

Money Study...

As if you needed another reason to love the Solo Health offer: self-employed health insurance premiums are a tax deduction.

If you own an S Corp, make sure you add your health insurance premiums to your wages so can take the full deduction.

Not sure this has been done correctly? My team can do a quick payroll review and help you clean everything up before W2s are due. Book a clarity call here if interested.

Hello Reader, I have tried literally every version of healthcare under the sun. I have paid out of pocket. I have used health share arrangements. I have provided my own health insurance through my company. I have been on my spouse’s health insurance. And I really have to pay attention to healthcare costs. My family and I have had 8 emergency room visits in the last 8 years. Multiple hospital admissions. True life-threatening situations. My husband is dealing with a chronic illness, and I’ve...

Hello Reader, On average, I travel eight weeks every year. Some of it is work, some of it is for fun and honestly, most of it is both. I’ve even been known to fly across the country to attend an event simply because a client was going to be there, and there’s nothing like meeting face-to-face when you can. Beyond the connections, the hugs, the breakthroughs… there’s another big benefit: tax deductions. Airfare, hotels, rental cars, meals: when you travel for business, a lot of your expenses...

Hello Reader, The number one mistake I see self-employed parents making? Gifting your kids money. Now you can do this without triggering gift taxes. The gift tax exclusion is up to $19,000 in 2026. But, what if I told you there was a way that you could pay your kids up to $16,100 a year AND get a tax deduction on it? Plus, your kids won't pay taxes on it either? You can pull this off by putting your kids on payroll. If you own your business as a sole proprietor (or with your spouse), you can...
