Nobody makes fun TikToks about this. Nobody DMs us asking about it. But your money systems matter more than almost anything else we talk about on this show if you want a sustainable career.
This is the unsexy, essential episode: separating your money, setting aside for taxes, how you get paid, the fees eating your income, and the weekly habit that keeps it all from piling up.
Standard disclaimer: not attorneys, not accountants, not financial advisors. Just two business owners sharing what we've done.
What We Cover:
- Why Tea ran her entire business out of the family bank account and why that's a problem
- Liability, asset freezes, and why separation protects more than your bookkeeping
- Why forming an LLC is what unlocks a business bank account and credit card
- The 30% rule: how much to set aside from every payment, and how Kate buckets it
- Tea's daughters and the taxes cup
- Quarterly estimated taxes, when they apply, and what happens when you miss them
- Kate's one-day-late interest charge she's still mad about
- Net 30 and net 60: what they mean and why you're always paid after the work
- Bank transfer versus PayPal, the instant transfer trap, and Tea's $13,000 in fees
- Why split payments sound better than they are
- Brands pay late. Here's how to follow up without feeling awkward
- The weekly money date and why it should be a standing calendar appointment
Your Challenge: Pick one: separate your accounts, or set up your tax bucket. Done by end of week.
