When you’re running a small business (or big business - ANY business!) keeping track of the money going in and going out is CRUCIAL to your success. Yes, spreadsheets, budgets, and balance sheets aren’t very sexy, but if you don’t take them seriously they will absolutely hold you back from success. Today we’re talking with special guest, Alli Williams - all about the importance of separating your business expenses from your personal expenses, along with some tips to get those business books in line so you can stress about money less. 

Alli is the founder and CEO of FinanciALLI Focused, a financial literacy company helping people create a flexible financial plan they can actually stick to (no deprivation here). She has helped hundreds of people pay off debt, build savings, spend on what they value, invest, and feel confident with their finances. She paid off over six-figures of debt while still saving, investing, and buying season football tickets.

Alli’s work has been featured on Business Insider, Authority Magazine, Thrive Global, GVL Today, Cola Today, WSPA 7 News, and more. Alli has her MBA in Finance and lives in South Carolina with her husband and son. She spends her time at football games (Go Gamecocks!) and with a Starbucks latte in her hand.

If you aren’t having the success you desire in your business, have an honest talk with yourself and evaluate if you’re keeping track of your business finances like you should be. Get your money in order and start respecting it if you want more money coming in to your business!

Today we're comin' HOT with one of our personal favorite kinds of episodes - a Cat & Renee “Hustle & Flow” episode. Fun fact: these are the kinds of episodes we do when we don't have any idea what we're going to be talking about and we let the conversation run wild, then come up with a central theme later. We're pulling back the curtain, and inviting you in on one of our SUPER riveting girlfriend, business chats.

Hot topic for today is… (drum roll please) Can you grow multiple branches of your business, AND do it WELL? How do you know what to focus on when you have a million ideas running through your head at any given time in your business? 

Cat here…

I think Renee wanted to talk about this topic to give me a hard time about doing too much in my own business. (Creating products, selling wholesale, selling retail, group coaching programs, masterminds, a creative conference, writing a book, the list goes on!) But I don't think she understands that she's equally guilty, and had to do some soul searching of her own. 

If you struggle with analysis paralysis, or struggle with being over run with awesome ideas then hopefully this episode gives you some clarity and a kick in the pants to take some inspired action to FIGURE IT OUT.
