I don't like talking about this recession, but business owners need to know...
Hello Reader,
Let's be real. 2023 was a hard year financially.
Inflation is still up, keeping the cost of housing very high. Bankruptcies are up. Credit card debt is at an all-time high.
I (famously) don’t like talking about this recession. I’m not ignoring it, but without context these scary headlines are just that - SCARY.
On an individual level, these economic statistics don’t matter AT ALL.
What does inflation matter if you’re still able to pay your bills?
Why do you care about increased housing costs if you’re not moving right this very second?
How does the national average for bankruptcies or credit card debt affect you in any way? (Maybe you can win at trivia night, I guess?)
Most of us feel we “should” be doing better with our money, so when headlines like these trigger a fear response they also confirm our beliefs that we are in a “bad” situation.
And if you’re actually in a situation where you can’t pay your bills (been there!), or you are moving (me right now - the rental market is indeed nuts!), or you are in debt and afraid of what comes next (sooooooo me circa 2015!), then focusing on these scary headlines is even worse.
They will confirm your fear that you are powerless, because what can you do to fix inflation or the housing market? You’re just one person!
And so ultimately all you’ve done is increase your shame.
You didn’t get yourself into a bad situation with money, you ARE BAD with money. And now you’re stuck in a bad system too.
So don’t hope…
Don’t take action...
What is the point…
UGGGGGH! This is SUCH BS!
I’m angry as I write this, but I have such compassion for people who feel their money is a mess.
I once:
- 😳 Tanked my credit score 150 points in a single day 😳
- 😬 Borrowed money from a family member to start a business, but defaulted on the loan because that business didn’t make any money 😬
- 😮Turned a business making six figures in profit into a business that lost tens of thousands of dollars 😮
And in every case - I bounced back in just a few months. I recovered my income and grew my net worth overall.
And I have helped 100s of clients bounce back from their own money messes too.
So, I’m going to start a little series about Money and Shame.
I’m going to talk about the “worst” financial situations you can think of:
- Lowest possible credit score
- Bankruptcy
- A business that’s losing money
I’m going to share compassionate, practical advice to release your shame and take action to improve your finances.
I’m inviting you to read along.
Because chances are you aren’t in the “worst” situation possible, but you still believe your money situation could be better.
And if this advice can help people at their worst, then what financial action could it unlock for you?
Stay tuned and let’s find out together…
Be profitable,

Hi, Hello Reader, “If we had moved, we would have lost the house.” I heard this over and over again growing up. 👇🏼 My parents moved into their “starter home” when I was just 1 year old. The plan was to “upgrade” after five years. My mom finally moved out of that house 27 years later. My mom could never afford to move. First, she got divorced. Then, my mom and new stepfather struggled to find jobs for years after the financial crisis in ‘08. Sometimes both of them were unemployed. Before ‘08,...
