Welcome to the Virtual Cafe where we have discussions about the beans in your business. This week we are dreaming about more coffee while skating full throttle through the changing seasons across the globe.

We all have phone-a-friend moments in business especially when it comes to money and finances. It can be compelling to go to a search engine when it's an embarrassing question, but be careful when searching online because it can be a slippery slope. The so-called answers online can be overwhelming and we can get off answers. Asking someone you know has experience and sincerely wants to help you is a much better choice, but how do you know who to ask?

Decisions are fire-hosing us every single day. Part of the decision fatigue is having the right systems in place that are going to work for you. When we think about sitting down and working on our Business Finances, we need to make that decision first. When am I going to do it, where am I going to do it, what day, what time, am I going to get interrupted? Join Kerry and Kim in the Virtual Cafe and prepare to make fewer decisions.

Pretty early in the writing of her book, Business Finances Made Simple in the Virtual Cafe, Kerry got sick to death of writing out the words 'business finances' and wanted to short cut. In the virtual cafe in this episode Kerry and Kim are having coffee with their BFs and our BFF and you!

If you don't like something, you don't understand it, or you don't know how to do it, like our business finances, we self sabotage a lot of times by looking for ways for some tool or person to take the pain away. Can you strip any of that away to simplify your Business Finances so that it's easier? As an Entrepreneur maybe we just need to keep it simple and bring it back to the basics of a spreadsheet and start somewhere. Join Kerry and Kim in the virtual cafe for today's conversation.

As business owners we have a million things that we want to outsource. Not liking business finances may make you feel like they need to be outsourced right away. Join Kerry and Kim while they wait for their coffee orders in the virtual cafe for a chat about outsourcing business finances.

There's a confidence that comes naturally when we get to do these things that are just not our fave thing to do and we have this extra sense of achievement. When we sit down and work with the numbers we build our confidence muscles, as Kim calls it. Join Kerry and Kim in the Virtual Cafe for a chat about the superpowers that can come with the confidence we gain in our business finances.
