Numbers don’t define you, but they do tell you where you’re at and what you can do to change the future.
In this episode, I’m joined by my bookkeeper, Parker Stevenson, to talk about the 5 financial pitfalls you want to avoid as a business owner and the financial state of the coaching and consulting industry in 2022.
I’m also sharing some vulnerable stories from when I was $55K in debt and how I created a better relationship with money. All this is to say: If I can do it, you can too.

For over 7 years, Parker has been advising some of the top coaches, course creators, influencers, and thought leaders on how to make more sound business decisions using their financial data.
