In business, you have to determine what your values actually are and then make choices using those values as a guide or compass. Business owners that operate from scarcity, fear, and judgment actually create more of the same. If we’re not doing the work to regulate our emotions and create and maintain organized systems and processes, it’s easy to fall into these mindsets.

Is your new year's resolution or goal to get more organized and do better accounting? Maybe it's to start a business at all! I'd love to share with you all the ways I have created free resources for new and established business owners to be successful.

Today I am sharing with you my plans for 2023. I don't really make resolutions around the new year. But I have committed to some habits already that I will be continuing in the new year and you are welcome to join me. None of these things cost money, require strict regimens, or involve excluding things from your life. All you have to do is change your mind about a few things and practice some awareness.

One of the most frequently asked questions I receive in my work with small business owners is how do you pay yourself when you're the sole proprietor? Unless you are able to pay yourself a salary commensurate with your duties in the business, you generally cannot elect your business to be taxed as an S Corp, meaning that you will remain a sole proprietor or single member LLC and take an owner's draw to pay yourself.
