Why YNAB Is the Budgeting System Every Entrepreneur Needs

Tired of budgeting apps that don’t actually help you manage your money?

 

In this episode, I’m walking you through why I swear by YNAB (You Need A Budget) and how it completely transformed the way I handle both my personal and business finances.

 

This is the deep dive you’ve been waiting for—because most budgeting tools are made for 9–5 employees, not creative entrepreneurs with variable income. I’m sharing how YNAB helps me budget without shame, spend with intention, and finally feel in control of my money.

 

Whether you’re brand new to budgeting or you’ve tried every app under the sun (hi, Rocket Money), this episode will help you understand how YNAB works—and why it might be the system your business has been missing.

 

In this episode, I’m covering:

✅ Why most budgeting apps don’t work for entrepreneurs

✅ How YNAB helps you manage variable income like a pro

✅ Why budgeting isn’t restrictive—it’s actually freedom

✅ How to give every dollar a job (and avoid the panic spiral)

✅ Common money leaks YNAB helps you fix (like surprise subscriptions)

 

If you’re done winging your money and want a budgeting tool that actually works for your brain, this episode is for you.
