Most women in business are doing all the things — wearing every hat and making every decision. But what if I told you the biggest mindset shift isn’t about delegation……it’s about separation. Accounting separation.Because when we treat our business like it is us — we blur the lines and lose clarity and healthy boundaries. And that’s where burnout, confusion, and financial missteps begin. But here’s the good news: Accounting gives us a story. A perspective. And that perspective says: you are not your business. I’m so excited about the book club read of the month because it really gets to the root of this! We are reading "The Joy of Accounting" by Peter Frampton and Mark Robilliard. If you want to learn how to separate yourself from your business, join us in the book read and even better, attend the "Let's Talk Finance" Workshop that happens every Thursday at 6pm EST. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Do you feel like you're too broken to ever learn and grow sometimes? I've been there, and I know exactly how sad and frustrating it can be. Sometimes I still feel like that, tbh. Life has its low moments. First, I want you to give yourself some credit. You are probably doing the most of anyone you know, with a lot of people depending on you every single day. Yes, you may be struggling, but you are so strong to even be willing to invest in yourself to learn to do better, believe me! As a matter of fact, you are doing better than I did! I spent 7 years running a housekeeping service solo as a single mama, and although it reached 6 figures in annual revenue, I was too exhausted and ignorant to benefit from my hardwork by the time I was ready to move on. I didn't seek the help I needed in time. But here's the good news: not only do you not have to burn out to learn your lesson like I did, you can get to where you want to be in life and business without stressing yourself out with all the information out there. In fact, it's pretty straightforward when you know the secret. What's the secret, you ask? Focus. Pure and simple. That's your path to success. No detours, no shiny object syndrome - just laser-focused dedication to your plan. As women, we often feel like we need to do it all. But that's a recipe for burnout. Instead, you need to: 1. Channel your energy efficiently 2. Hit consistent milestones 3. Reinvest in yourself and/or your business And you've got me in your corner to help you along the way to get there. Keep on keeping on, Treda

Growing a business is exciting and scary. For most of us, that just means getting busier, and our time is already short. However, the key to growing a business and not burning out lies in three fundamental concepts that go against what many of us women in business believe we should do. In this post, we'll explore these three concepts and how they can transform the way we think about and achieve our business objectives. 1. Stop Doing Too Much When we think about growing our business, often we are thinking we need to make more money, and if we aren't careful, the need to make more money overshadows the true objective - growing our business. If you fall into this trap, the first instinct is to think you need to do more - as in other activities: start another side business or pick up an extra side hustle trying to build the "multiple streams of income". The reality is that doing too much is a trap that dilutes energy and focus. Each new endeavor takes a piece of your valuable resources, leaving you exhausted and stressed. Imagine you have a goal you want to reach. Instead of scattering your efforts across various activities and hustles, focus on one thing. Achieving success in business requires concentrated energy and a strategic approach. The truth is that every business idea out there can work, but the power of distraction often prevents you from seeing any of them through to completion. Distractions take chunks of your energy, leaving you unable to devote enough to any single goal to make substantial progress. 2. Focus on the One Thing There is immense positive power in focusing on one primary goal. The energy you invest in focused effort not only propels you towards your big money goal but also builds your confidence and satisfaction. This focused approach creates a positive feedback loop that energizes you further. Start by making a firm decision to focus on one thing. Remove all other options and distractions from the table. This approach is straightforward, though it still requires hard work and effort. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line—similarly, the most efficient path to your goal is a single, focused effort. When you concentrate on one task, you can nurture it, maintain it, and do all the necessary work to be successful. This focused path reduces bad stress levels, prevents burnout, and ensures you have enough energy for other important areas of your life. It’s crucial to remain patient and persistent, keeping your eyes on the prize and resisting the lure of shiny new objects.
