Financial Must-Haves with Erica Goode – Episode 185

Are you ready to level up your business financials as you prepare to scale or even refine in 2023? Or are you among those with an established business but no clear picture of your financial foundation? (I was raising my hand here in 2022!) Or maybe you just need a refresher on financial must-haves. This month we've been focused on the practical implementation of redefining hustle, and this week I welcomed CPA/CFO and my friend, Erica Goode, to share her wisdom on three financial must-haves for your business at every stage. While I've got some highlights below, I know you'll gain so much for this conversation, so definitely listen to the whole episode!   Erica's three must-haves: 1. A firm foundation: the right business structure (e.g, LLC), separate business bank account, business insurance, solid bookkeeping process (yes, Excel is ok if that's what works for you). 2. Consistency: In paying yourself, even if it starts with $20! In paying the IRS. In tithing/charitable contributions. 3. Financial vision: Planning the vision for your business financially, whether that's the next 90 days, the next year or the next 5 years. Focus on YOUR vision and God's direction for YOU (no comparison game here!). For more on setting a 90-Day Plan, listen to episode 183 Be sure to download Erica's free guide: 6 Don't-Miss Tax Deductions for Coaches & Consultants at https://www.ericagoode.com/guide While we didn't specifically quote scripture in today's episode, here are some of my favorite instructions from God's Word for you to read along or study: Deuteronomy 8:18 Philippians 4:19 Psalm 24:1 I'd love to know yours - shoot me a DM on social (links below) RESOURCES FROM TODAY'S EPISODE Erica's free guide: https://www.ericagoode.com/guide Erica's Business 101 Series, Episodes 3-7: https://www.ericagoode.com/podcast  YOUR CALL TO ACTION 1.
