Money can feel awkward to talk about — but if you’re running a business (especially one meant to support your life), getting clear on your numbers isn’t just helpful… it’s essential.

In this episode, I’m walking you through how to create a business budget that actually works — one that pays you, supports your growth, and keeps things sustainable as you scale. We’ll talk through a simple income breakdown, what to prioritise at different stages of business, and how to build a realistic sales plan that aligns with your goals (without stress or spreadsheets).

Whether you’re aiming for £2K or going beyond £5K months, this episode will help you feel confident about your money — and finally ditch that “I hope this works” energy for good.

🎯 You’ll learn:

• How to figure out what to pay yourself (and when)
• The best way to structure your expenses as your business grows
• What percentages to allocate for team, marketing, CPD and operations
• The difference between thriving and just surviving financially
• Why most health professionals underinvest in the wrong areas
• How to create a sales plan to hit your income goals in 2026
