Transcripts

Katelyn Magnuson:

So let's talk about what I mean by money.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Talk for real people.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Now, a lot of us have encountered countless professionals, right?

Katelyn Magnuson:

Lawyers, accountants, parents, other people that mean well,

Katelyn Magnuson:

but maybe they don't break down.

Katelyn Magnuson:

All the finances and money in the way that actually makes sense for the average

Katelyn Magnuson:

person and with the way that they work and the words they use, it's not relatable.

Katelyn Magnuson:

You have a tough time understanding what they're saying maybe, or just

Katelyn Magnuson:

really being able to put what they're saying into practice for yourself.

Katelyn Magnuson:

So here we are dropping the shame we're dropping the guilt.

Katelyn Magnuson:

We are deconstructing all the internalized shit that you have around money and your

Katelyn Magnuson:

business and your personal life and your relationships with your friendships.

Katelyn Magnuson:

You know, if you're still in corporate, like we are breaking down those

Katelyn Magnuson:

money barriers and we're having real conversations for real people about money.

Katelyn Magnuson:

So.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Our whole mission here is to remove the stigma . You know, I know that

Katelyn Magnuson:

there's the saying that there is no stupid questions and I don't think

Katelyn Magnuson:

that there are stupid questions.

Katelyn Magnuson:

I think that we , very frequently end up with answers that don't make

Katelyn Magnuson:

sense or answers that aren't ideal.

Katelyn Magnuson:

And so here, we're working to break them down into bite-size

Katelyn Magnuson:

pieces that are actionable.

Katelyn Magnuson:

If you're a business owner, if you have a side hustle, It's time to stop

Katelyn Magnuson:

putting your business on the back burner.

Katelyn Magnuson:

And for many of us, what that looks like is focusing on the money, because

Katelyn Magnuson:

for pretty much all of us, I'm sure we're in this for the money at the

Katelyn Magnuson:

end of the day, you know, you're not here to be doing something.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Yes, you can have philanthropic desires and I'm all about that.

Katelyn Magnuson:

I am here for it, but we're in business to solve a problem, to

Katelyn Magnuson:

make money and I sure as fuck.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Hope do something fun while we're at it, right.

Katelyn Magnuson:

We want to make an impact, make some money and have some fun doing it.

Katelyn Magnuson:

So why do so many of us spend time just tiptoeing around the money in our

Katelyn Magnuson:

business and in our personal lives.

Katelyn Magnuson:

So we're going to focus on how to stop, ignoring your money, how to stop

Katelyn Magnuson:

burying your head in the sand, how this is going to change your business.

Katelyn Magnuson:

It's going to change your personal life.

Katelyn Magnuson:

By making you more profitable by actually understanding your

Katelyn Magnuson:

numbers by being able to make.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Competent educated financial decisions and move your business and your personal

Katelyn Magnuson:

life and your financial goals forward.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Now you buying into all of this and you taking control of your finances is going

Katelyn Magnuson:

to change how you show up in your life.

Katelyn Magnuson:

It's going to change how you show up in your business and your

Katelyn Magnuson:

relationships with your friends as a parent, as a human being,

Katelyn Magnuson:

because you're going to have energy, excitement, clarity, and confidence.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Hence the title confidence when it comes to dealing with your money.

Katelyn Magnuson:

That is what I'm all about here.

Katelyn Magnuson:

And we are going to shift the narrative when it comes to talking

Katelyn Magnuson:

about money and making it fun.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Now, how do we shift this?

Katelyn Magnuson:

When it comes to a lot of our least favorite areas such as taxes, how are we

Katelyn Magnuson:

looking at, you know, paving the way for.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Setting ourselves up for success.

Katelyn Magnuson:

How are we realizing that within reason paying more in taxes is actually a

Katelyn Magnuson:

good thing, because if you're doing everything correctly, it means that

Katelyn Magnuson:

you've made significantly more profit.

Katelyn Magnuson:

If you're paying significantly more in taxes.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Now, again, we'll talk about, you know, strategies and S-corp elections and things

Katelyn Magnuson:

that you could be doing that make, you know, most of us just kind of want to

Katelyn Magnuson:

glaze our eyes over, but we're going to make it really digestible so that you

Katelyn Magnuson:

can have action steps to move forward.

Katelyn Magnuson:

with confidence in your business because it's time to stop

Katelyn Magnuson:

burying your head in the sand.

Katelyn Magnuson:

And it is time to understand that we're going to package it up with

Katelyn Magnuson:

the dessert side of it, right?

Katelyn Magnuson:

Like I'm here to tell you the great things, the sexy things, the things that

Katelyn Magnuson:

we really like that come with money.

Katelyn Magnuson:

However, we're also going to have the vegetables business coaches

Katelyn Magnuson:

are not teaching all of the foundations that you need to know.

Katelyn Magnuson:

For your business finances and to understand your accounting

Katelyn Magnuson:

and your bookkeeping.

Katelyn Magnuson:

And in this season, we're actually going to dive specifically into that,

Katelyn Magnuson:

how to be doing your bookkeeping, your accounting, understanding your

Katelyn Magnuson:

registration with confidence so that you can make decisions to move forward that

Katelyn Magnuson:

you know, are the right path for you.

Katelyn Magnuson:

So we're all in business to make money.

Katelyn Magnuson:

We want to secure our financial futures and we want to

Katelyn Magnuson:

understand how to build wealth.

Katelyn Magnuson:

So when it comes to wealth building, we're going to talk about

Katelyn Magnuson:

this in a lot of different ways.

Katelyn Magnuson:

There's wealth building in your business.

Katelyn Magnuson:

There's wealth building in investing in yourself.

Katelyn Magnuson:

There's wealth building.

Katelyn Magnuson:

When it comes to your retirement to your families.

Katelyn Magnuson:

If you choose to have one, you know, if you choose to have children,

Katelyn Magnuson:

if you decide to get married, how do we make sure that we are owning

Katelyn Magnuson:

what is ours and moving forward with confidence, but also, still protecting.

Katelyn Magnuson:

You know, securing our bag, right?

Katelyn Magnuson:

So this is a really new topic, which I know sounds ridiculous, but it's only

Katelyn Magnuson:

been 50 years since women have been able to get checking accounts on their own.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Women were first able to get checking accounts on their own and

Katelyn Magnuson:

the 1970s, which is shocking that was the decade, my mother was born.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Which means that for a lot of us, our grandmothers weren't able to

Katelyn Magnuson:

have their own checking accounts until they were having children.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Now think of the situation that, that can put you in.

Katelyn Magnuson:

The lack of power that a lot of us had had.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Money can be freedom.

Katelyn Magnuson:

It can be freedom of choice.

Katelyn Magnuson:

It can be opportunity.

Katelyn Magnuson:

It can be.

Katelyn Magnuson:

The ability to leave a situation that's not healthy.

Katelyn Magnuson:

So we're here to deconstruct that and to understand what we need to

Katelyn Magnuson:

be talking about, what metrics we need to be looking at and building

Katelyn Magnuson:

confidence so that we are able to live our most fully expressed life.

Katelyn Magnuson:

I believe firmly that money makes us more of who we are.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Not less.

Katelyn Magnuson:

It further allows us to express our truest selves and it allows us to

Katelyn Magnuson:

live a life that we are most aligned.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Does that mean that if you are, you know, if you're not rich, if

Katelyn Magnuson:

you're not wealthy that you can't make an impact on this world?

Katelyn Magnuson:

Absolutely not.

Katelyn Magnuson:

However can you snowball that effect when you have more money, can you

Katelyn Magnuson:

live a life that allows you to donate to more causes to, , move forward?

Katelyn Magnuson:

Things that you want to see put in place, you know, efforts that you

Katelyn Magnuson:

want to see changed passion projects that you really feel just absolutely.

Katelyn Magnuson:

That you embodying your core.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Yes.

Katelyn Magnuson:

So for those of you wondering.

Katelyn Magnuson:

I'm Katelyn Magnuson and I run a full-service financial

Katelyn Magnuson:

accounting and educational firm.

Katelyn Magnuson:

I, I love what I do.

Katelyn Magnuson:

I love what I do.

Katelyn Magnuson:

, we have a team here now of six employees plus contractors,

Katelyn Magnuson:

, which is absolutely insane.

Katelyn Magnuson:

, and we are working on the premise that we're building an

Katelyn Magnuson:

organization that has no shame.

Katelyn Magnuson:

That creates custom plans for our clients that allows them to move

Katelyn Magnuson:

their business and their lives in the direction that they want to drive.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Now, for some of them that may be a digital nomad.

Katelyn Magnuson:

For some of them that may be a white fence, you know, two and a half

Katelyn Magnuson:

kids, the house, the whole thing for some that may be, being a cool

Katelyn Magnuson:

auntie or whatever, lights them up, but we spend time listening to them.

Katelyn Magnuson:

Understanding where they're at or where they've come from and where they want

Katelyn Magnuson:

to end up, whether it's in the next three years, five years, 10 years,

Katelyn Magnuson:

30 years, some people don't know and that's fine, but where can we help

Katelyn Magnuson:

fill in the gaps in the knowledge to guide them towards what they want,

Katelyn Magnuson:

not what we think they should want or what society thinks they should want.

Katelyn Magnuson:

And for a lot of us.

Katelyn Magnuson:

There's a debt that we have to talk about, which we'll dive into

Katelyn Magnuson:

in here, because I have kind of an unconventional take on debt.

Katelyn Magnuson:

I'm very, this is not a Dave Ramsey fan podcast.

Katelyn Magnuson:

, this is not your parents' financial advice.

Katelyn Magnuson:

These money talks that we're having.

Katelyn Magnuson:

This is going to be like talking to your best friend turned accountant.

Katelyn Magnuson:

So if you're ready, Buckle up because we have a lot coming
