Keep What You Earn

In times of economic uncertainty, it's easy to listen to the negative voices and negative self-talk in our heads when it comes to money. This is especially true for business owners and entrepreneurs because we're already subject to more risk than a typical salaried employee when it comes to how and when we'll earn our next dollar. That's why I am excited to have Belinda Rosenblum on the show. Belinda is a CPA and a Profit Strategist as a part of her company, Own Your Money. She helps busy female coaches and experts sustainably scale their revenue and profits by upleveling their financial systems and strategies and stepping into the CEO role with her signature Cash Flow CEO Accelerator program. She believes it's time female entrepreneurs feel worthy and safe with money, finally enjoy the freedom they started their business for in the first place, and consistently take home the money they want each month. Belinda is here to discuss some ways you can overcome financial fear in the context of an economically uncertain time. You'll hear us discuss what's going on in the market right now, what we're seeing with business owners, and the struggles they're facing. I know you will love this episode because it will help you understand that you're not alone if you're struggling with any of these things and remind you that there is a way out. * Find Belinda on IG @ownyourmoney * Check out her Pay Yourself Calculator: ownyourmoney.lpages.co/calculator/ * Find everything you need at www.keepwhatyouearn.com! https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/ * Questions about this episode?

When it comes to business finances, many people broadcast their revenue numbers but don't really talk about their profit. Believe it or not, a lot of the businesses and influencers you follow may not be profitable. They can say they're a multi-seven-figure business owner or an eight-figure CEO, but what you take home is what really matters. That's why we named this podcast "Keep What You Earn." I want to make sure you're keeping more of what you earn. To help with that, in this episode, I explain how you can know if you are profitable and how to figure out what your profit is. * Find everything you need at www.keepwhatyouearn.com! https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/ * Questions about this episode?

As I was building my business, I consistently listened to podcasts. One of my staple podcasts was the Small Business Tax Savings Podcast, hosted by Mike Jesowshek. I am looking forward to today's episode because Mike is today's guest. We are actually doing a cross-over episode between our two shows. I took a lot of inspiration from his podcast as I was building my business so this is a really cool experience for me. I love how Mike can break down complicated tax subjects while still providing enough information to be really helpful. You'll hear us discuss how to decipher good advice online, how to find a professional who's looking out for you, and how to educate yourself on these types of complicated topics while also empowering yourself. We also touch on competition, how everyone is welcome in this space, and why he and I believe collaboration is so important. * Listen to Mike's podcast, Small Business Tax Savings Podcast: taxsavingspodcast.com * Join his free Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/taxsavings * Find everything you need at www.keepwhatyouearn.com! https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/ * Questions about this episode?

We often use cash as a financial thermostat that dictates how we feel about our business, but I don't want that to be the case for you as a business owner. I want you to think about cash objectively and as a metric to measure, not as a trigger for emotion. To help with that, I am going to unpack how much cash you should have in the bank at any given time. * Find everything you need at www.keepwhatyouearn.com! https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/ * Questions about this episode?

Seeing more in-person events pop up recently has rekindled my energy to get back into speaking and doing live training. This has me thinking about all the entrepreneurs diving back into in-person events, writing their first book, or promoting their work by speaking on stage.

As an entrepreneur, it is exciting to meet someone with a similar mindset as me in business.

As a CFO, one of my goals is to bring out the qualities in my clients that help them shine as CEOs. I've recently spent some time unpacking what it takes to be a CEO and what it takes to step into a CEO mindset. I ended up with a short list of things that I believe drive a CEO's approach to problems and help you show up as a CEO. I'm going to share that list with you, along with relatable examples for context. * Find everything you need at www.keepwhatyouearn.com! https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/ * Questions about this episode?

Investing in cash flow assets is always a theme on this show, and one of the best ways to do that is to invest in real estate. There are many different ways to invest in real estate.

Sheena is a CPA with 13 years of experience. She is an expert in the tax field and specializes in working with real estate investors. She is passionate about working with clients and making the complexity of taxes and financial reporting easier to understand.

It feels like "recurring revenue" is a buzzword these days, right? Many accounts and CFOs will tell you that you need to increase recurring revenue. To me, recurring revenue is a source of stability that offers peace of mind in knowing that money will come in regardless of whether I am at my desk or not. I want that same peace for you, so I am sharing a few concepts that I instill in my clients and that I think you should adopt in your business as you're starting out and when you're evolving. * Find everything you need at www.keepwhatyouearn.com! https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/ * Questions about this episode?
