In this episode, my good friend Belinda and I are talking about the 3 biggest money mistakes business owners make that cause you to work a lot harder than you actually need to.

Belinda Rosenblum, CPA and Money Strategist, founded Own Your Money and created the signature Cash Flow CEO program, to help ambitious women entrepreneurs grow a more strategic, profitable business so they work less, profit more, and finally take home real money consistently.\xa0

Belinda is also the coauthor of SELF-WORTH TO NET WORTH: 12 Keys To Creating Wealth Inside And Out, and became a self-made millionaire at 33. She believes money management + entrepreneurship can be fun and provide true lifestyle freedom \u2014 after all, isn\u2019t that why we got into business? If she\u2019s not inspiring you to be your best self, Belinda is likely enjoying the sunshine and chasing after her marathon-running husband, college junior step-daughter, and 2 spirited young kids.

Biggest Takeaways:\xa0
