I Tossed My Budget Out the Window and You Should Too
I know that probably sounds crazy, and you may be wondering if I lost my mind! But let’s be honest, most entrepreneurs don’t budget, and the ones that do, hardly even pay attention to their budgets.
So why have a system in place that you don’t use? That just makes you feel bad, and unsuccessful, and like you’re not in control of your money.
And the truth is, I honestly believe that budgets keep you broke, by keeping you small. That’s because budgets start out with what you want to spend, NOT what you want to create.
That’s why we never use a budget in our companies.
We don’t want to limit our results, or activities. Our philosophy is to do what it takes to meet our goals, without being restrained.
But we also don’t want to be reckless. And neither should you. That’s why in today’s episode I teach you how to create the exact results you want, without restriction and without putting yourself in financial jeopardy.
I would LOVE to hear in the comments below what your biggest take-away and “a-ha” was from today’s episode.
And to help you implement what I teach you, I’m sharing with you the template we use in our own company I call it the “Un-Budget Outcome Creation Worksheet”. It’s designed to help you create the cash flow plan that meets your goals, instead of trying to fit your goals into a pre-determined financial set point.
When you step out of “This is what I have, what can I do with it?” into “This is what I want to create, how can I get there?”, you’ll completely transform how you approach your business, and accelerate your results in record time.
You’re Invited!

Love this! I help my clients design a budget from their dreams and goals! ♥

Yes!! The dreams and goals FIRST!
Christie Miller
This is excellent advice that I never heard during my financial analyst career. I love the principle of starting with goals and dreams and going from there. Thanks.
Katarina Andersson
Yes, I definitely like that sort of planning. :-) Have never really had much of a budget anyway as it is indeed very difficult when you are a solopreneur.
