This is not going to a long post, because honestly there is still so much I’m learning. Way too much. However, after about 12 months of reading, exploring, & trying a few different solutions — I think I’ve finally got a few useful tips worth sharing.

Yes having to deal with money sucks, just like having to brush your teeth… it sucks, but we all know that it saves us scary visits to the dentist in the future, so we do it anyway.

The summary is: EVERYONE needs to learn basic personal finances. Even creatives. Particularly women, and ESPECIALLY creative women.

(See HoneyBook >> here << for more crazy stats)

I always believed “Work hard helping others, and the money will come”. I still believe this is true. But there is one part missing — you can help others even more if you first focus on grounding yourself. You can create more, give more and find more strength that you never knew you had, by simply having the confidence to learn a new skill: finance.
