#79: My Biggest Money Mess Yet, and the Financial Habits That Saved Me
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In 2024, I seriously messed up the money side of my business and it came with a lot of stress, shame, and some very real consequences. But it also became one of the biggest periods of growth I’ve ever had as a business owner.
In this episode, I’m opening up about exactly what happened, what it taught me about managing my finances as a limited-company owner, and the mindset shifts that helped me move from “I’ve completely failed” to feeling steady, confident, and back in control.
🎧 Tune in to hear:
- The money mistake I didn’t see coming
- Why shame kept me stuck longer
- Financial habits that changed everything
- Separating business money from personal money
- Trusting myself with bigger numbers
💭 [5:43] “I can't tell you how much shame I felt when this happened…”
💭 [12:07] “That is so not the way that a successful business owner operates.”
💭 [16:15] “ No matter what situation you are in with money, it is never too late to start making positive changes.”
