Date Your Money
I believe that managing the money in your business with ease can be achieved by cultivating a few simple habits. One of the most important habits is to set a regular money date.
What do I mean by a money date?
A money date is a time that you set aside on a regular basis, to spend time with your finances. This can mean simply downloading all of your business bank and/or credit card statements and checking them for any charges that look out of the ordinary, all the way to spending time organizing your finances into a tracking tool, which is what I recommend to my clients.
I believe that setting aside (and honoring) a regular money date is so important that I have built it into my Easy Business Bookkeeping program. Each month, I host a call where all members can join me and spend some time with their finances. It’s one of the most popular aspects of my program and many participants have told me that they look forward to it each month.
Put on some relaxing music, have some tea and maybe even light a candle.

Setting the money date for the same day and time each week (or month) will help you to stick to the practice. And if you are someone that feels stress or anxiety when it comes to taking a deep dive into your finances, be sure to create a comfortable space to have your money date. Put on some relaxing music, have some tea and maybe even light a candle. Setting the tone for your money date can help you to feel more at ease and comfortable with the practice.
Do you have regular dates with your money? Wonderful! If not, I encourage you to begin this practice and see how it can take your money management to the next level.
