This episode we dive into the often-avoided topic of money and why it needs to be your business bestie. With over 24 years in business, I know how crucial a positive relationship with money is. Think of it as the blood flowing through your business. Let's get comfortable talking about finances, treating money with respect, and using practical steps like writing a letter to money to build a solid financial foundation for success.
