The #1 Business Advantage So Easy, Yet So Often Ignored


Hi Reader,

When we ignore our numbers, we miss out on the most powerful advantage in business: clarity.

A lot of business owners avoid looking at their money, without even realizing that’s what they’re doing.

Not because they don’t care—but because they’re busy, overwhelmed, or afraid of what they’ll find.

👉 The receipts pile up.
👉 The bank statements go unread.
👉 The reports feel confusing or pointless.

But how much clarity are you missing as a result?

As a Money Storyteller, I believe reviewing your money regularly isn’t just good practice—it’s transformational. It helps you spot patterns, make smarter choices, and even shifts your entire relationship with money.

Here’s what happens when you make a habit of looking at your money regularly:

📌 You begin to spot patterns.


When reviewing receipts and financial reports becomes part of your routine, something interesting happens: you start to see yourself and your business more clearly.

➜ You notice that your “quick coffee breaks” and other types of reactive spending add up to hundreds of dollars a month.
➜ You spot recurring charges for software you don’t really use.
➜ You catch habits that don’t align with your values—or opportunities to invest more intentionally.

This kind of awareness makes your receipts and reports more than just paperwork. They become a window into your behaviors, your goals, and your values. 💡

📌 You make more informed choices.


Real-time visibility into your numbers gives you the power to pivotbefore things go off course.

💥 Let’s say your Facebook ad strategy is costing more per click than expected. Instead of waiting until year-end to realize it wasn’t profitable, you can tweak your sales funnel now and boost your ROI.

💥 Or maybe your revenue has plateaued, and your calendar is maxed out. That insight might prompt you to hire a team member, raise your rates, or repackage your offers—with data to back it up.

💥 Sometimes, you’ll discover a good surprise: like more profit than expected. In that case, you might choose to open a retirement account or form an S Corp before the year ends to reduce your tax burden and build long-term wealth.

These are real decisions made by clients who looked at their numbers throughout the year — not during the stress of tax season. Because we had time, we made a plan.

📌 You get a built-in money mindset tune-up.


Avoidance breeds anxiety. But clarity builds confidence.

When you make time to look at your money—even when things aren’t perfect—you send your nervous system a powerful message: I’m in control.

Your finances stop being the monster under the bed and become a tool you can actually use.

And that mindset shift ripples into everything: how you price, how you spend, how you sell.

You stop reacting, and start leading with intention.

This is exactly why our team meets regularly with bookkeeping and tax clients—not just to reconcile numbers, but to build financial alignment all year long.

Using the Money Storyteller Method, we help you stay on top of your finances in real time—so you can spot patterns early, make informed choices with confidence, and stop dreading tax season altogether.

We don’t just look backward—we help you plan ahead.

If you’re tired of flying blind and ready to feel truly supported in your business finances, let’s talk.

Hi Reader, Recently, I was talking about money with a group of self-employed parents, and I said something that stopped the room cold… “Scarcity is a myth.” Not the kind of scarcity where your bank account is low—we’ve all been there. But the kind of deep-rooted scarcity that tells us: “If someone else succeeds, that means less for me.” “There’s only so much to go around.” “I’ll never catch up, so why bother?” Sound familiar? This mindset is sneaky… ➡️ It shows up when we scroll through...

Hi Reader, “I’m making money… but I don’t know where it’s going.” I have heard some version of this hundreds of times from smart, educated people who keep working and working and working, and yet still don’t seem to have enough left at the end of each month. Most of us never get ANY kind of formal financial training growing up, but we learn a lot about money from the people around us. For instance, when you were a kid did you ever ask for a toy only to be met with a stern rebuke, “No, I’m not...

Hi Reader, She thought she was being financially responsible. She was tracking her spending. She was using a dedicated business account. But all those little receipts were driving her nuts. Some receipts she meant to save ended up in the laundry. Others got tossed out with her coffee cup. And the few she did keep? Many were faded to the point of being unreadable. Turns out, thermal paper (used in most receipts) starts fading almost immediately. And if the IRS can’t read it, it doesn’t count....
