It was an incredibly hectic few months.
So much so that I completely let my business – and personal – bookkeeping lapse.
For 3 months, I had no idea how much was coming in or going out.
All I knew was there was money in the checking accounts and the credit cards were getting paid in full.
Good enough, right? Not so much. I finally caught up the other week and it was ugly.
My Q3 expenses were 40% higher than average, most of which were completely discretionary.
If I had been paying attention, I would have pumped the brakes on lots of things which is what I’ve done since then.
A bunch of expenses I had already mentally spent were pushed back…
…new photoshoot punted to Q1…
…FinCon will still be there next year…
…Profit Sharing Plan can start in January…
It’s an ironic lesson…
You should only worry about your money when you’re not worried.
