Start with what you love most.

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Founder-Friendly Finance Daily Note! I’m so excited to start this practice and am thankful to you first subscribers for taking part!

​
~ Let’s start at the beginning. ~

​
You’re interested in building the power of Finance skills into your business

But let’s face it:

Finance can be the WORST.
​

So how do we start in the best way possible?
​

With this:

Start with what you love most about your business.

• What about your business drives you?

• What gets you into the office on Monday?

• What lights you up?

• What gives you the most pride?
  ​

Maybe it’s managing your employees, selling amazing products, talking to customers, building a new offering...

​
Whatever it is, write it down.

​
Now, open up your accounting software

(If you don’t have an accounting software, pull up whatever you use to review money moving through your business: your credit card statement, your Stripe account, even your cookie jar)

​
Now, tell me this:

How is what you love most about your business connected to what you see?

​
​No wrong answers here.

We’re just looking for a story

Of how you think about money connecting to the heart of your business.

​
​This story is your foundation

For understanding your entire business through a financial lens.

​
Get this story clear

And the rest of Finance will make a whole lot more sense.
