Building a Business That Supports You in Hard Times

We’ve all been there. An unexpected life event happens - a trial or tragedy that we never saw coming.

Many times we have one of two choices that don’t feel like healthy options at all—we can either abandon our business and fall into an emotional spiral—or we can push through it, never stop to process the grief or trial while our physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing slowly declines, as we operate off stress hormones.

But there’s a better way.

A third option.

What if you had a business that took care of YOU rather than you always needing to take care of IT? What if you had a business that actually supported you when unexpected life events happened? What if your business stayed afloat and even kept you afloat financially while you needed time off or even just time away with family to create all the memories? Instead of you needing to keep your business alive by sacrificing your time with family and overall wellbeing?

This is where knowing your numbers is essential. DIY bookkeeping or outsourcing bookkeeping helps you know where you stand in your business each month so you can:

• Know what’s coming in and going out of your business

• Hire a team that supports you

• Make data-driven business decisions

• Cut unnecessary expenses

• Increase profits

It’s all connected. Running a better business can help you live more life. We are in this together.

Increasing profit in your business doesn’t just mean more money. It’s about the money but it’s not all about the money. We have families and friends we love and want the freedom to be with them. We are also not robots and machines, but humans with emotions and souls—this means we need time to process hardships, to feel the feelings, and be with loved ones to comfort and be comforted.
