When financial expert Alyssa Lang first set out in 2015 to do her bar patrons’ taxes, she quickly realized she preferred working with the business owners that owed money – meaning they were profitable – rather than the refund seekers.

That realization was the catalyst for uncovering her true business superpower of 'using the right data to make the right decisions’ – and not, surprisingly, insta-tabulating the correct tip to add to a check – and she now works just 2-5 hours each week on the THREE 'accounting space’ advising firms she’s founded.

Today she joins us for a candid and insightful conversation about how much she’s grown alongside her wildly successful businesses, her entrepreneurial compulsion to monetize everything (can entrepreneurs even do sh*t for fun?!), and the mission she’s on to increase the percentage of all 7-figure business owners who are women… which, if you’re wondering, currently stands at a measly 2%. 

Quick overview of what we cover:

  • Alyssa's best financial strategy approach for anyone working in the course creating space, which she calls “ridiculously unpredictable” 
  • What happened professionally for her to realize she was more mission-driven than money-driven
  • At what point Alyssa believes you should bring on a tax strategist or financial planner 
  • Alyssa's personal decision-making tree for when she pivoted from away from being an S-Corp
  • Why it may not always be the best idea to get a one-stop-shop firm that does taxes, financial planning, and bookkeeping 
  • The realization she came to when her team got too big – and how the weaker players got weeded out
  • Why she believes data is king, and how it can still create space for intuitive decision-making too
  • Why many financial experts feel like therapists – and how they reconcile the emotion most women tie to making and spending money
  • How she handles the problematic money mindset projections that land in her lap both personally and professionally
