Budgeting
Budgeting is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your business succeeds. It's not just about saving money, though. It's about building a business that will allow you to live the life you want.
If you don't know how much money comes in and goes out every month, it's difficult to plan and prepare for unexpected expenses or large costs that may occur over time (like an advertising campaign).
To budget effectively:
Set up an online accounting system like Quickbooks or TurboTax Online so you can track all your finances in one place. This will help you to see where your money is going, what your spending habits are, and how much money is coming in each month.
Make sure that all of your financial accounts are set up so that they automatically send out a monthly report showing where all of the money is going each month. You can also use apps like Mint (free) or YNAB (paid) for this purpose as well as many other budgeting tools available online (like Personal Capital).
