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 made of money!” The lesson? Money is rare and it’s something neither you or your parents could waste. What about the rich, snobby kid who picked on you in school? They taught you that people with money are mean. We get messages about money from our culture too. The story of the mean and miserly Ebenezer Scrooge teaches us that rich people are greedy and selfish. In the news, we see evil corporations run by billionaires who put making money above the health and safety of people and our planet. So we learn that money, business, and rich people are harmful. There are so many stories that make us subconsciously believe that “money is the root of all evil.” Is it any wonder so many people don’t like looking at money and don’t know where it ends up? Or maybe you’re doing everything you can to increase your income, yet the money is still not showing up. Unintentionally, you could be missing or skipping the actions that lead to real wealth, because it’s uncomfortable to think of yourself as rich. You might have internalized “it’s only heartless, greedy people who need lots of money — and that’s so NOT me.” I call this the Money as a Villain story and I’ve often seen it keep people from earning the money they deserve.But at its core, money isn’t evil. Money isn’t anything, really. Humans made it up. It only has meaning because we give it meaning, so having lots of money is evil only if we choose to believe it’s evil. In reality, if you want to change the world the absolute best thing you can do is get rich. Being rich gives you more resources to make positive changes in the world. In fact, I think our world could use more kind-hearted, caring, and generous people like you who are rich and know how to use that money! The key to getting there is changing how we think about money. That’s why I was so excited to talk with Hailey Krajewski on The Unscripted Podcast. We had such a great conversation! 💬 Here’s just a taste of what we explored:➡️ What happens when you stop treating money like a villain—and start making it a teammate? ➡️ Why so many entrepreneurs say “I’m making money… but I don’t know where it’s going”—and how to change that. ➡️ The transition from actress to accountant (yes, really!) and how that journey shaped the Money Storyteller Method™. ➡️ The real shift that breaks the feast-or-famine cycle (especially if you’re building a group program or community). If you’re tired of feeling stuck working so hard for money and want money to start working hard for YOU —you won’t want to miss this episode! To your success, |

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...
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, 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....
