Entrepreneurs who find their businesses losing money often don’t recognize that their lack of financial acumen stems from deep-seated beliefs about money. These beliefs are limiting and dictate money management behaviors. How can you reconcile your relationship with money to make informed decisions about your business?

Financial coach and therapist Heather Lowrey understands that money is a sensitive topic for many people, with varying beliefs based on cultural implications like upbringing and social status. She has identified various mindsets around money, including avoidance, hypervigilance, scarcity, and abundance. To identify entrepreneurs’ mindsets, Heather determines their daily and weekly financial habits, including how often they view their statements and accounts. Once you’ve established your relationship with money, you can acquire an accountant or bookkeeper to help you manage your finances and maintain flexibility and adaptability in your journey to financial literacy.
