Is it Worth It?
You know I love talking big picture, wild ideas, and long-range visions.
And I also really love some brass-tacks, how-the-heck-do-we-actually-do-the-thing intel.
So for the next few weeks, I’m going to be sharing some behind-the-scenes looks at how I’m running my business in 2026 — what I’m changing, what I’m keeping, and why.
Let’s start with the big one:
Money, honey.
And no — we’re not digging into mindset or limiting beliefs today.
(Though yes, I can absolutely coach you on that, considering I went from someone who didn’t file taxes for two years to someone with a credit score in the 840s, and I’ve helped quite a few clients on a similar path.)
What I do want to talk about is how I’m actually handling my money:
– how I accept payments
– how my bank accounts are structured
– how I decide what’s worth spending on (and what isn’t)
There’s way too much here for one email, so I’m hosting Worth It: A Empowered Money System for 2026, a live workshop on February 17, and I’d love for you to be there. (We’ll tap into the solar eclipse portal to open new money stories that feel expansive, bright, and connected.)
It’s $88, but through January 31, it’s half off — only $44 — and I’m extremely confident you’ll mark it “worth it” when you look back on your 2027 financials.
LOCK IN YOUR EARLY BIRD TICKET
Which brings me to my favorite new tool.
The “Worth It” column
This is a simple assessment I added to my 2026 financial review, and honestly? It was wildly clarifying and only took about 5 minutes.
Here’s how it works:
Open your expense spreadsheet. (Don’t have one yet? Come to the workshop!)
Add a column labeled Worth It.
Look at each line item and answer one question:
Was this worth it?
No drama. No stories. Just a clean yes or no.
What was worth it for me?
Every paycheck to my assistant, Charla
My tech stack
Programs with coaches I already had real, proven relationships with
What wasn’t?
Oof. My biggest expenses.
The flashy programs that promised massive visibility or instant access to dream clients — where I somehow forgot to ask how before handing over my credit card.
(Spoiler: the “how” was usually a recipe for burnout and self-abandonment. Hard no. Not worth it.)
Three weeks into the year, this one small shift is already saving me a lot of money.
No to shiny-promise packages with slick marketing.
No to unsolicited “we’ll grow your audience” pitches in my inbox.
Yes to a short, potent series with my energy healer.
Yes to support that actually meets me where I am.
I’m also committed to doing things with more joy and ease this year.
And here’s the part that surprised even me:
I made more money in the first week of the year than I did in the previous two months.
So how am I handling that money?
I’m funneling it straight into my Profit First system. Here’s how it gets split across my bank accounts:
– 50% Operating Expenses
– 25% Government Money (aka taxes)
– 20% Owner Pay
– 5% Profit
Which means yes — I’m committed to pulling profit every single month this year. And the actual accounting? So simple I don’t mind doing it.
I’ll walk you through all of this — plus how to set it up in a way that doesn’t make you want to crawl under a desk — inside the Worth It workshop.
See you there!
