Spring Clean Your Finances: A Fresh Start for Your Money

Spring is all about fresh starts, so why not give your finances a little seasonal refresh? If your New Year’s financial resolutions have fallen by the wayside, don’t worry—you’re not alone! Now is the perfect time to dust off your budget, get back on track, and set yourself up for a strong financial season.

But here’s the thing with resolutions: the people who stick to their financial goals aren’t perfect; they’re the ones who know how to create momentum to keep going in their journey. And the best way to do that is by celebrating wins along the way.

Finding Your Financial Freedom: How to Pay Yourself as a Business Owner

One of the most important (but often overlooked) aspects of running your company is addressing the question, “How much should I pay myself?” It’s crucial to pay yourself regularly to maintain financial stability. The whole point of starting a business is typically to create financial freedom and security for yourself and your family. But it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day operations and forget to take care of your own paycheck.

Which One of These Small Business Owner Retirement Plans Is Right for You?
