 Key Takeaways:

Volatility Isn’t the Problem—Lack of a Strategy Is
It’s not about smoothing out your income—it’s about creating a gap between your lowest income month and your baseline expenses.

Separate Yourself from Your Business (Even Emotionally)
Give your business a name, pay yourself like an employee, and treat it like a company—even if you’re a solo founder.

Start with Hypervigilance, But Don’t Stay There
Tracking every dollar helps you regain control—but eventually, you need to step back and trust your system.
