Plenty with Kate Northrup

72. Managing Your Money When Your Income Is Unpredictable As A Business Owner


Listen Later

How can you feel financially secure when your income fluctuates? In this episode of the Plenty podcast, I’m diving into some of my top strategies for managing money with an unpredictable income.

Managing finances with irregular income can be a real challenge for entrepreneurs, and I’ve personally navigated it. I share practical tips on understanding your business cycles, building a cushion fund, and working with your nervous system to cultivate a sense of safety even when cash flow varies. I’ll also discuss the benefits of creating monthly recurring revenue and how tools like YNAB can support cash flow management.
This episode is filled with insights to help you feel more secure and empowered on your financial journey, no matter how unpredictable it may be!

“When you train your nervous system, your sense of safety and security is actually sourced from within.” -Kate Northrup
