There’s no deadline on your finances… and that’s the problem
|
Hi Reader, Have you ever noticed how easy it is to avoid your finances? There’s no deadline. So we tell ourselves: I’ll do it tomorrow. Stephen R. Covey said it best: “The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” As business owners, finances often fall into the important but not urgent category. And because they aren’t urgent, they get pushed aside while we chase revenue, answer emails, and put out daily fires. But here’s the truth: Knowing your numbers is the difference between success and failure. Profitability doesn’t come from doing more. When you don’t look at your numbers:
Financial planning isn’t “extra work.” It’s choosing to spend time on what actually drives profit instead of reacting to what’s loudest. And done consistently, it can literally save your business. So today, don’t procrastinate the important just because the urgent is screaming louder. Schedule time for your finances. That’s the Finance MakeOver way.

That shirt is now permanently stained red. Lesson learned — don’t wear nice clothes when you’re riding ATVs in southern Utah. After the ride, we parked the ATVs in the...
Dear Reader, When I was growing up, church activities were our entertainment — especially in middle school and high school. And the big event every weekend was a dance. I grew up in Southern California, in Riverside. My dad was a professor at UCR, so we went wherever the dances were happening — Riverside, Costa Mesa, Corona, Irvine — whatever church gym was hosting that week. Now here’s the funny part. My background was ballet. Serious ballet.Nutcracker every year. Pointe shoes.Three to five...
Dear Reader, As you know, we’ve moved to Utah, and lately we’ve been unpacking the garage and closets to get ready for a party this weekend. In the middle of it all, my husband brought me a box from his office and said, “I think this is yours.” Inside were three old, envelope-sized wallets. One was black and sparkly.One had fun pictures on it.One was simple blue leather. And instantly, I was taken back about ten years. Back then, I used a full envelope system. I would literally go to the...
