HOT TIP: Not sure how to get your money organized for quarterly taxes? Here’s my strategy: I begin by getting my estimated tax payment from my accountant. Then, I take that payment and divide it by twelve (as in twelve weeks). That total is what I need to put aside weekly in order to make my payment without stress. If my business seems to be on the uptick, I’ll put additional money aside just in case. This method means I’m never caught short for the regular quarterly payments – or nasty surprises at the end of the year if I have a better-than-expected year.

Newsletters to read: XO Sarah has a pretty darn good blogging + business newsletter. Defo worth checking out!

Listen up: July’s Talking Shop was HOT. Bri and I are talked about pricing your services with Fabeku Fatunmise. Grab the replay!

Don’t forget: I’ve got a fantastic e-course for mystical entrepreneurs who struggle with the money aspect of their biz. Check out GET IN CHARGE. Because there is nothing wrong with being a prophet who enjoys making a profit.
