For a lot of businesses, one of the hardest things business owners experience is a poor relationship with money.    

I see so many beautiful women start a business, fuelled with passion and purpose.  They pour their heart and soul into their business but still live a life of struggle and stress. And most of the time, it’s because of their relationship with money.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Imagine waking up in the morning, sipping your coffee, knowing exactly where your business stands financially. No more tossing and turning at night worrying about cash flow and money or where your next client is coming from.

And while this may seem like a pipe dream for some, healing your relationship with money through taking deliberate, inspired action is what is needed to bring you closer to the life you’ve been dreaming of.

But just like anything though, continuing to do the same thing you’ve always done won’t lead to the change you’re so desperately looking for, particularly when it comes to how you feel about money.

One thing that I know for sure is that when you have a crystal clear financial plan, the stress and overwhelm previously felt by not understanding your money starts to disappear. Instead you feel in control, deliberate and calm. A financial wellness strategy allows you to slow down and take a breath because everything is clearly laid out for you.

A good financial wellness strategy acts as your roadmap, guiding you through the complexities of business finance with clarity and confidence. Instead of giving you the ‘why’ it also gives you the ‘how’ – which is the missing link I see for a lot of business owners.

Once you know how to do something, you feel empowered and in control of your money. You’re able to make decisions confidently which feel both aligned and connected. The invisible mental load you’ve been carrying lifts and all of a sudden you smile more, walk taller and feel happier.  

So what is a financial wellness strategy? It’s a tailor made road map just for you and your business. It gives you the ‘how’ not just the ‘what’ you should be doing. It’s simple and easy to follow and most importantly, it takes the guess work out of what you’re doing, meaning you’re able to show up in your business with confidence.

Financial wellness strategies aren’t just about numbers either, they’re about your mindset too. By giving you the tools you need to confidently run your business, the way you feel about money and yourself changes. The self doubt and uneasiness disappears allowing you to embrace opportunities and say yes more often.

So, where do you start with developing a financial wellness strategy? It begins with being real with yourself, being vulnerable and acknowledging that what you’re currently doing and feeling isn’t serving you. By the way, there’s no shame in not knowing and understanding.

Then, it’s about finding a money coach or accountant to develop a strategy for you. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is a thriving business. But with dedication, perseverance, and a solid financial wellness strategy by your side, you're well on your way to transforming your business and creating the life you've always dreamed of.

So go ahead, take that first step. Your future self will thank you for it.
