Dear Reader,

The house saga continues…

You remember House #1 — the one we’re a backup offer on? Well, it still hasn’t fallen through. Technically, it’s supposed to close this Friday. But there’s still about a 10% chance it might fall out of escrow Friday (So yes, we’re still waiting!).

Meanwhile…enter House #2. Same exact floor plan, same neighborhood, but $200,000 more. (Apparently they thought the market thinks their street deserves a premium 🙄). We decided to throw in a lower bid.

And while all that was brewing, we made an offer on House #3 — the “pet house” I told you about. Fantastic yard, view, and neighborhood. We got under contract last Saturday for $900,000 with plans to put in $200,000 of renovations.

Here’s the kicker:

• By Monday night, my husband was stressing. Three to six months in a half-livable construction zone didn’t exactly sound dreamy.
• Then—out of nowhere—House #2 called us back with a YES to our offer.
• So Monday night, we signed the paperwork for House #2.
• Tuesday morning, we cancelled House #3.

Talk about a whiplash pivot.

But here’s the truth: this is exactly what entrepreneurship looks like.

• You try something.
• It looks like it will work.
• You realize it actually won’t.
• You pivot fast and move on.

What doesn’t work?
👉 Hanging on to outdated strategies and hoping the market magically changes.

If you’re still:

• Pricing your services like it’s 2005,
• Running with razor-thin margins, or
• Relying on clients to “float” your payroll…

…it’s the equivalent of living in a half-renovated house you hate. It’s messy, stressful, and unsustainable.

That’s why we do what we do at Finance MakeOver.

We help entrepreneurs restructure their finances, update their pricing, and stop the Peter-to-Paul shuffle so they can finally:

✅ Have cash in the bank
✅ Know where their money is going
✅ Sleep without financial stress

If you’re ready to pivot your finances the way we pivoted our house offers, it’s time to talk to a Fractional CFO. Not a big-company CFO… just someone you can sit down with once a month to map out what actually works for your business.

Because the faster you pivot, the faster you find the house (and financial plan) you actually love.

Profitably Yours,
