THE FEISTY GAL'S GUIDE

Welcome! I'm excited to have you! I'm Anne-Marie Rábago and around here, I'm the CFO (Chief Feisty Officer). I help small businesses survive and thrive. How do I do that? By cutting through the crap and focusing on the bottom-line, and that's exactly what we'll do in The Feisty Gal’s Guide to a Financially FIT Business.

I'm guessing you started a business to make money ('cause otherwise, what you have is called a hobby). But give it to me straight - Are you really making any money (as in profit)? If so, how much? Do you overspend, underspend, or have absolutely no idea? Are you protecting your business so it can keep making money? Are you doing everything in your power to maximize the money you make?

Well, I have some good news. Wherever you are with your business and its bottom-line, there is no shame and you are most certainly not alone. That's why I've built this fabulous e-course. But here's the bad news, my friend, it's time to make changes.

Unfortunately, the finance, insurance, tax, and legal stuff isn't going to take care of itself. Somebody's gotta deal with it, and I'm guessin' right now, that somebody is...you. Ignoring these things will not make them go away. In fact, ignoring them pretty much guarantees you won't be ready when they creep up on you.

After this fabulous 5 week intensive e-course, you'll be able to:

• Identify your money mindset and how it impacts your business decisions;
• Make informed decisions regarding your legal business structure;
• Develop a budget to track your income and expense and provide a line of sight to your bottom-line (that's the profit or loss in your business);
• Understand the risks inherent in your business and what protections are available for you; and
• Characterize your business tax deductions, planning opportunities, and required tax documentation.

You’re in the right place, if you:

• are a fabulous, fun, and feisty business owner;
• have wished for someone to come along, wave a magic wand, and show you the clear path to all this finance, insurance, tax, and legal stuff (I might not be quite this fancy, but we'll give it a go);
• love providing your fantastic services to others, hate dealing with finance, insurance, tax, and legal stuff, but realize eventually you'll have to tackle this demon;
• need someone to push you down the path kickin' and screamin'; and
• are ready to stop burying your head in the sand, to feel empowered, and to make some changes!
