Wearing all the hats in your business? 🎩


Dear Reader,

Have you ever seen A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder?

It is one of the most entertaining shows I've ever watched. Great story. Laugh-out-loud funny. And it has a secret.

One actor plays a handful of the characters in the show.

The same man keeps showing up in each murder scene. Different costume. Different voice. Different walk. And most of the audience doesn't fully catch on until the end.

One actor. All those parts.

Sound familiar?

If you're a solopreneur, that's you.

Monday you're the sales team. Tuesday you're marketing. Wednesday you're customer service, HR, and the shipping department. You play every character in your business, quick costume changes and all.

And somewhere on that long list is the finance department.

Maybe you do your own books. Or maybe you outsource them and never give them another thought, because you have 47 other things to do.

Here's the problem.

Even if your books are perfectly clean, if you're not actually looking at your finances - what's working, what's moving the needle, what isn't, and what you're spending money on - you will always be behind.

And profitability becomes something you chase.

"I just need one more client."

"I just need more revenue."

"I just need to make it happen."

I hear this all the time. More revenue feels like the answer. It almost never is.

It's okay to be a solopreneur. It's okay to wear all the hats.

But you have to make time for a smart money system. A profit strategy.

That means looking at your numbers, knowing what they mean, and knowing how to turn the boat when it's headed the wrong direction.

It means a money system that looks to the future - a cash projection, so you know when money is coming in and when it's going out. Not just day-to-day survival and hoping it all works out.

That actor pulls off his lightning-fast costume changes because every single one is planned. Nothing is left to "I hope I make it back on stage in time."

Your money deserves the same plan.

That's exactly what we build inside my Cash Flow Mastermind.

This isn't for everyone. I'm inviting 10 female founders making between $500K and $2M a year to join me - one hour a week on Zoom for 8 weeks, starting the first week of August. Together we'll build your cash flow system and get you on the path to profitability in less than 30 days

It's first come, first serve. Once these 10 spots fill, this opportunity closes.

Sound like you? Reply to this email with the word "CASH FLOW" and I'll send you the details.

Profitably Yours,

Dear Reader, One of my daughters is an incredibly gifted sewist. Now, I'm old school. I would call her a seamstress. But she assures me that the new, hip Instagram word is "sewist." She makes the most adorable beach covers for her children. Sun covers, swimsuit cover-ups, whatever you want to call them - they are darling. And they get used. They live three miles from the beach, so around their house, a cover-up isn't a cute accessory. It's required equipment. Those little ones would be crispy...

Dear Reader, The day after my pump track spill in Sun Valley, I slept in at the Airbnb. I was resting my wrist, shoulder, ribs, and chin after riding my beautiful pink e-bike straight off a turn I did not understand. So while I was home recovering, the rest of the extended family biked to breakfast. Then they went on the gondola up the ski slope. My daughters and the babies stayed at the top to play and enjoy the view. But Brace, my son-in-law, and a few brave riders decided to do the...

Dear Reader, This week, our family escaped to beautiful Sun Valley, Idaho. We spent our mornings doing one of my favorite things — biking to breakfast with my husband, my two daughters, my grandchildren, and extended family. On Thursday, we biked to Hailey, Idaho. After breakfast, everyone decided to head over to a pump track. I’ll be honest. I did not even know what a pump track was. I like biking on the road. Smooth paths. Predictable turns. Nothing too surprising. I am not a mountain...
