There’s a ton of misinformation in the entrepreneurial community. No one can seem to agree if having debt is worth the risk and stress means you're successful but you're also internally suffering. With all this back and forth it can feel like you just can’t win no matter what you do. It’s time to set the record straight and consult with an expert in personal and business finances. For three decades, Jacquette M. Timmons has been exploring the intersection of money, business, and life - through a cultural lens. Her aim is to help people decrease their financial stress and increase their financial health and wealth by getting them to focus on both sides of the money equation - the numbers, along with the psychology and emotions of money. Jacquette does this by helping people focus on their relationship with money. Because this relationship influences every swipe, every deposit, and every fiscal choice you make. And, by helping business owners make decisions about their business model, sales process, and pricing strategy that center on the health of their personal finances. She's the author of, "Financial Intimacy: How to Create a Healthy Relationship with Your Money and Your Mate;" a frequent blogger; creator & trademark holder of "Pricing Made Human®; host of the podcast, "More Than Money," and a staunch advocate for getting people to focus on the human side of money. In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the money myths that are plaguing the small business community and what you can do to improve your financial strategy. Jacquette is a wealth of knowledge with tons of experience and she is ready to share it with you all. It is time to stop surviving and start thriving, and we’re going to teach you what you can do to take control of your finances.

Ever wonder how entrepreneurs sell out their services and products as soon as the doors open? It’s because they offer so much value to their potential customers for free that these clients know that they will get the results they want.

Where ditching a few bad habits before the end of the year and that includes your habit of perfectionism. Perfectionism keeps us from being great because it forces us to spend all our energy on the anxiety of a project rather than the quality of the project. And that includes your business projects.

I've always said that women don't need to be empowered they need to be equipped. Permission for us to soar has already been granted but I'm well aware of the beating our confidence and spirit can take day after day in spaces that don't see us fully or value what we bring to the table. It was the reason I wanted to do this series, the best is yet to come, to remind us through it all we are still here and our work is not in vain there is so much more in store for us! These stories are from women who have reinvented themselves, bounced back, wasted nothing and show up every day to pour into women and do work no one else wants to do.

Money is the #1 reason women stay in unfulfilling jobs. “I gotta pay my bills” is an universal mantra for the overworked, undervalued and most of the time under paid career woman. I’ve learned the hard way that getting paid, staying paid and increasing pay are all three totally distinct skill sets that require different ways of thinking and strategy. Whether you as an employee or entrepreneur getting your money right will always be in season. Pricing a product or services and hiring help is one of the most challenging parts of starting a business along with negotiating a salary and setting boundaries as an employee. Money continues to be sensitive topic for women and my guest life's work is to change that! Especially for women of color. About Pamela Capalad Pamela Capalad is a Certified Financial Planner™ and Accredited Financial Counselor™ and has been in the financial services industry since 2008.
