    How you think about money makes an impact on your small business success. Many of these thoughts stem from beliefs you have had since you were a child. Do you associate earning or having money as being greedy? Do you remember hearing heated conversations as a child and it brings back memories of arguments and feelings of unhappiness, or was the subject of money private in your family and viewed as a hush hush topic, almost seen as a bad thing? You may not think these beliefs stemming from your childhood would be impacting how you are currently running your small business, but today, I am going to go over the impact they could be having in your business that you may not even be aware of. Even if you think you don’t have any of these thoughts or negative money mindset issues, you might not even know they exist, until you listen to this podcast.

    Financial literacy is just as important when you are taking care of your personal finances as it is when you own a small business. April is financial literacy month and since this podcast is all about Mastering Your Small Business Finances, it is only fitting that we should talk about how financial literacy makes an impact on your small business. Studies are showing that the financial literacy scores are slowly and steadily declining. I understand you became a business owner because of the passion you have for what your business is all about and not necessarily about the finance aspect, but I know you want to do everything you can to ensure your business is as successful as possible, which includes understanding your finances. Financial literacy might not come easy to you, but if you make it a priority, especially if you are new to owning a small business, it will help you manage the financial side of your business more effectively. Increasing your financial literacy will help you make smart business decisions such as when to hire an employee and when or if you should take out a loan as well as how to manage your debt. You will be able to understand the taxes that are relevant to your business and how every action you take impacts your financial statements. Listen in today as I talk about why financial literacy is so important and how you as an entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper, or virtual assistant can increase your financial literacy… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.
