You're hitting those consistent 10K to 20K months and the business is humming along, but then a question creeps in: what next? Just because your revenue is steady doesn't mean you've achieved real financial security. Today, I sit down with Elise Aricheta, a certified financial planner who's spent over two decades guiding business owners towards creating true wealth beyond their businesses, to talk about what it actually takes to make your money work as hard as you do.

Elise shares her refreshingly honest take on building real financial security beyond just hitting revenue milestones. We discuss the fundamental need to separate personal and business finances, creating proper systems that support your growth as you scale and the clear roadmap for financial empowerment that starts with emergency funds and protection before moving into strategic investing. Elise also tackles when it's the right time to seek financial guidance and spoiler alert, it's probably earlier than you think.

We dive into managing the income rollercoaster that comes with entrepreneurship and how nailing down your minimum monthly needs changes everything. This conversation is about laying down financial roots that support both your personal and professional aspirations so you're not just accumulating wealth, but crafting a legacy that extends beyond your business revenue.
