Are you using personal credit cards to run your business?
Are you traking what you spend by category?
Do you have multiple "deferred interest" or "90-days same as cash" debt balances?
If so, then this week's podcast episode is an interview by Shawn & George of Nancy Ward, of www.WeeklyDebtPlan.com.
There's a moment a lot of solopreneurs hit: they're putting in the work, the business is moving, and yet the financial reward just doesn't match the effort. Nancy Ward built her entire practice around that moment. As a financial coach and founder of Weekly Debt Plan, Nancy helps small business owners who are running on personal credit cards and avoiding their finances get clear on where their money is actually going, so they can stop the cycle and start paying themselves what they actually deserve. No budgeting lectures, no accountant speak. Just real clarity and a path forward.
You can contact Nancy at the website above, or at Nancy@WeeklyDebtPlan.com. Her website also has a TON of useful resources for solopreneurs that need budgetary help.
