Episode Details

Many dog trainers burn out  because they work long hours for very little money – It doesn´t have to be like that.  Fixing your business finances automatically solves that problem.  

Today, we sit down with Bobbie Logan a financial empowerment coach and multi‑award‑winning bookkeeper to discuss why burnout is so strongly related to how you hand your business finances. We bust the money-related myths that are holding you back - “I can’t charge that,” “accountants are a luxury,” and “I’m running this for the dogs, not for profit.”

We also unpack how to develop the practical money habits you need to break this negative cycle. Including, monthly money dates, simple bank account setups, and tax pots, and asking better questions of your accountant.

We've got a brand-new business health check for you - it´ll show you exactly where your business is working really fucking well, and where you are haemorrhaging time, money, and energy - all in the time it takes to make a cuppa.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Treating financial support as a luxury creates hidden risk. Early, ongoing bookkeeping and strategic input will reduce tax, smooth cash flow, and support better decisions. 

• Hiring a decent bookkeeper from the start pays for itself many times over.

• Choose a bookkeeper that uses language you understand and is happy to answer all of your questions. Why pay for someone who only handles your tax return when you can have an expert there to help you build your business.

• Most of us have a negative mindset around money e.g. the belief that “money doesn´t grow on trees.” That holds us back. Bobbie explains how to address that issue.

• When you don´t charge what you are worth, you are holding your customers back as well as yourself.

BEST MOMENTS

“Burnout is actually a state of you're not earning enough - It's not that you're doing too much.”

“Knowing your numbers is the one thing that will drive your business and really drive you to make more money.”

“If you are not charging your worth, you already feel worthless.”

“As a business owner, you don't do it for free. You're not a charity. You are there to share your knowledge.”
