Back to Episodes597 : Money Mistakes Small Business Owners Make and How to Fix Them with Nancy Benet
Description
When you think about building a successful business, what are you actually building toward? More money? A bigger team? More clients, more locations, more growth?
But are you building something that actually supports the life you want to live?
There's a real difference between building a business that creates freedom and building one that looks successful from the outside but becomes your own personal hell.
Today's guest, CPA Nancy Benet, gets real about money, business, and what it takes to build something profitable and aligned with the way you want to live. She shares her own story of finding herself divorced with four kids, five failed businesses, and $650,000 in debt, and how changing her relationship with money changed everything that happened next.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Nancy's money story — growing up believing money was scarce and "dirty," and getting her CPA license without it fixing anything
- Hitting bottom at 45: divorced, four kids, no job, $650,000 in debt
- The four-step manifestation process: clear intention, managing your state, baby steps, and releasing control
- The biggest financial mistakes entrepreneurs make and how to fix them
- Why cash in the bank is non-negotiable, even for solopreneurs
- Building a business that aligns with the life you actually want to live
