| | | | | | | The Subtle Ways You Make Other People Your Responsibility |
|
| Takeaways: You give others power when you let their stress, opinions, or reactions dictate how you feel or act. That drains your energy fast. Living around other people's emotions and expectations creates anxiety, comparison, and the false belief that life is happening to you instead of for you. The "let them" approach removes all four. Let them be stressed. Let them think what they want. Let them react. When you stop trying to control what isn't yours, you get your focus, energy, and agency back.

| | | | The Part of Running A Business No One Warns You About |
|
| Most people didn't start their business to become part-time accountants. But whether you're managing invoices, expenses, or tax prep, your numbers matter.
So why are you still stuck in spreadsheet hell?
Here's how top teams are taking the stress out of small business accounting (without hiring a full-time CFO):
Best Practices to Keep Your Books in Check: Automate early: Set up recurring invoices, reminders, and payment follow-ups so you're not chasing people every month. Reconcile regularly: Weekly or bi-weekly reviews will save you from month-end panic. Separate business & personal: For the love of all things clean and compliant, don't Venmo yourself from your biz account. Stay tax-ready year-round: Track deductions and categorize expenses before April rolls around.

| | | | A Friday Email More People Should Send |
|
| Takeaways: Make your work visible and easy to trust. Send a short Friday recap with wins, risks, and next steps, walk into 1:1s with an agenda, and keep a running folder of proof for reviews and raises. Think like a leader, not a task-doer. Bring solutions with problems, translate tasks into outcomes, and show how your work impacts revenue, efficiency, or risk. Be low friction. Respond quickly, show up prepared, and don't create extra work for others. The people who get promoted fastest are reliable, clear, and easy to work with.
