Today on the podcast, we’re talking money. 

Don’t run away on me! I know we Anxious Creative tend to freak out when it comes to money, but it’ll be fun, I promise! And you’re going to feel SO much better afterwards.

My special guest and friend, Kristine Miguel, is an amazing accountant and educator and the first accountant I talked to that explained this stuff in a way that actually made sense to my creative brain! (Cue angels singing.)

She specializes in educating entrepreneurs and teaches accounting workshops both online and in person. 

It’s time to start making sense of your cents instead of burying yourself in a mountain of receipts and tears every tax season!

Here’s what you’ll get in this episode: 

-Why you should learn accounting but still ask for help. (No, you DON’T have to do it on your own and you SHOULDN’T.) 

-You’re not alone if money freaks you out! I used to think I was the only entrepreneur who didn’t get it. (Nope, I wasn’t.) And this is okay! 

-What the crap financial literacy even is and why you need it. 

-How understanding the backbone of your finances helps you figure out how to get to where you want to be financially. 

-How to escape the cycle of procrastination and anxiety around your finances. (Also that time I gave up laziness for lent and how it taught me tons about anxious procrastination.)

-The difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant (didn’t even know there was a difference, did ya?) and the role of both in your business.

-How business write offs ACTUALLY work and why it’s NOT an excuse to buy a bunch of stuff for your business (yeah, I learned this on the hard way).

-What you should look for in an accountant and why it’s important to do your research. 

This episode is PACKED with all kinds of tips for beating procrastination and anxiety around your finances. 

Learning about finance from someone who treated me like a person and not a number changed the business game for me. It’s that important. And if I can do it, anybody can!
