As a business owner, have you ever thought about how you really manage your money? No, not just how much money you make and how you pay your expenses but really manage your money in your business in a way that makes sure that you get paid properly from your business. Money in your business should not be a stressor! 

Guest Appearance

Dawn Kennedy is an attorney, financial coach, and serial entrepreneur who is passionate about helping small businesses thrive in the face of unexpected market changes by ensuring there is a plan to protect financial milestones as the company grows. She learned some tough financial lessons with UNEQ Consulting, LLC, a six-figure consulting business she ran with her husband Mike.

On November 1st, 2013, Mike had a near-fatal fall 18 feet off of a ladder, and by the grace of God he survived, but their company did not. Mike
went into rehabilitation and they were forced to confront the stack of bills they could no longer pay. It took 39 months, but they paid the
business and personal debt off at a total of over $76,000.00.

Purpose Of This Episode

Dawn solves problems with creative options that get results that involve their money.  It is the one topic that people don't want to really talk about or be reminded of so they ignore it except when they need to pay bills. Money is a tool and should not be taken personally.  Dawn shows you have to handle it as the tool it was meant to be.

Action Tip For The Episode

Dawn says "I have 2: the first, get organized! Put all of your bill information in one place. In a spreadsheet or on a page, maybe in a notebook. List the
expense, account number, online login info, physical address and phone numbers for the bill. This will allow you to have a central list so you
can sit down to pay bills. Second, Get your B-Number. It is free and takes about 30 minutes. There is a free ebook on the website and free videos on the Facebook page!"

Having a service-based business can be very challenging.  Especially if you don't have the right mix of mindset and marketing to keep propelling your business forward.

Meet our photographer, Lindsey Cowen, who has a few challenges in her husband and wife team photography business.  Lindsey is one half of Brian + Lindsey Photography, a portrait and wedding photography team specializing in transformational women's portraits. Their goal and mission are to love on women of all different ages, shapes, and ethnicity.

"Will this next promotion work or are we just wasting our money. People are contacting us and if we don't give them lower prices they won't pay and then we will lose out on money. Some money is better than no money, right? We have to keep working our side jobs in order to make bills. Our photography business will never be profitable again." (These are the lies that I hear, I know they aren't reality).

This is what Lindsey's mind says to her to keep her in that stuck place of not moving her business forward.  Well, Lanisha is here to tell her differently.

Meet Lanisha Holland, our mindset coach. Lanisha Holland is your favorite Mompreneur and lifestyle coach for Moms That Boss. She teaches moms how to create the life they want by focusing on their mind, body, business and bank account.

Well, what about her marketing?  Lindsey says her struggle is, "Finding the right ads that will actually bring in the right people. Sometimes it works, and
when it does, it feels like a fluke. I want to consistently bring in leads instead of firehose or trickle."

Well Sheila can certainly help her with that.

Meet Sheila Davis, our marketing coach.  Sheila J Davis is a speaker, trainer and podcaster. She's the creator of Lock n' Load Marketing, a digital marketing agency, and The Messy Back-End podcast, where experts share expert advice on all of the messy stuff that goes on in the back-end of entrepreneurship. Sheila's expertise is working with entrepreneurs on their back-ends, starting off with an audit of their business. Then she helps them build an income-generating business that's automated so they can live a life, enjoy family, and serve their purpose.

Sit back and listen as Lanisha and Sheila share coaching that will help Lindsey's business.  You may be surprised to find something in there to help yours.
