Everyone's Talkin' Money: Personal Finance, Financial Freedom, Mental Health and Money Therapy For All

Budgeting and managing your money is hard enough when you have a steady monthly paycheck and a laundry list of goals you want to achieve. When you throw in inconsistent income, budgeting becomes even more complex. Like you, I’ve had many months as an entrepreneur when the numbers don’t add up. I’ve learned a few tricks that I want to share with you in this very special reboot episode.

What You'll Learn

• What steps you can take to set up your budget to plan for inconsistent income
• What steps you can take when you're in the middle of a month or stretch of inconsistent income
• The most valuable lesson I've learned as a lifelong entrepreneur to budget with ease
• Why you can't get past knowing your numbers - and why they are the key to your success
• How I got past the "I deserve it" syndrome to find balance every month
