If you’re building a business and wondering…
“Why am I not making money yet?” — this episode is for you.

Today, I’m sitting down with Liz, a boutique bookkeeping business owner, who breaks down the REAL truth about money in business—no fluff, no confusion, just what you actually need to know to grow.

We talk about:

• The real timeline to becoming profitable (and why year one feels so hard)
• The biggest money leaks in small businesses (this one surprised me)
• What’s actually a tax write-off… and what’s not
• Why bookkeeping is more than just “for taxes”
• How to start paying yourself—even at $1K months
• Building a business as a mom (and even with your husband 👀)

Liz shares how she went from corporate accounting to building businesses, walking away from a million-dollar company, and creating something that truly fits her life as a mom.

This episode is your reminder:
You’re not behind.
You’re building something real.
And it takes time.

If you’ve been feeling discouraged about money in your business… hit play.

This episode is such a reminder that the money is already around you… sometimes it’s literally sitting in your house.
