As creatives we usually HATE talking money. Unfortunately if you want to do what you love full time you often need to find a way to get an income from it and more importantly manage it in a way you can be educated on the next decisions you need to make.
Today we talk about using tools to see cash flow, the meaning of money, the different stages of income when starting a business and how to balance and keep track of it. Money doesn’t have to be a bad thing but it does have to be understood in order for it to serve you, your creative, and your community.
