Secret Weapon For Making More Money

I go through phases of being really good with my money and sometimes really poop.

I’m all about financial freedom and running a profitable business.

My secret weapon for making money is DONUTS.

donut days.

I hate donut days! Those days when you make no money…

$0.00, ZERO, ZILCH, nothing but BIG FAT DONUTS

Money tracking is a simple yet powerful tool that can help you take control of your finances and achieve your financial goals.

Because of my donut days, which I hate, I tend to go looking for billable work. I chase up invoices, do some marketing and things like that.

Falling in love with your business financials can be hard. One of the first and easiest things that I get my clients to do is to track their income. It’s a real gritty, imperfect task.

It’s easy, just make note of your gross round figures of your billable work.

This is how my tracking looks. I use my Google Calendar.. nothing fancy at all.

Post It Notes

One of my clients showed me a pic of their money tracking. He simply uses post it notes on a calendar on the wall.

so. simple.

During our latest meeting, he described his post it note money tracking as a game changer. I was so impressed that he was able to answer all of my money-related questions.

Making friends with your money is crucially important!

You don’t need to over complicate it.

And you have no excuses for not starting!!
