This probably comes as no surprise…
But you didn’t miss something in school where you learned how to handle your money.
There wasn’t a secret meeting in the dressing room when you were on stage where some one handed out a step by step guide on what it means to be an independent contractor
So it makes total sense that you wouldn’t know where to start, how to get an LLC, if you even need one or exactly what it means to handle your money like a business
The Bright Side is:
Once you get a few key skills in your boss bish tool kit, it gets so much easier and it can make all the difference between not having a way to provide proof of income to building a way to pay yourself a solid paycheck with a fluctuating income
When you break down the process into small bite sized steps and focus on tackling one at a time instead of trying to do it all at once – leading your brain to shut down from information overwhelm – it makes it easier to build a system you understand and can stick to.
Plus it leaves room for you to make choices that make the best sense for YOU, your lifestyle, your money goals and needs, instead of just following exactly what someone else said they did in the comments on a well known insta page
Even better:
The skills you learn inside you can apply to any future business you start spicy or not. Because you know if you ever do decide to transition out of sex work you’d rather work for yourself than ever work for someone else.
And learning and implementing the skills needed to operate like a business play a BIG role in filling that gap between making money and managing your money.
Because once you know—
- If you want or even need an LLC, and what it means to act like one
- How to keep accurate records and why it’s so important
- The profit first way to portion out your money to cover expenses, profit, taxes and your take home pay
- What to look for when you open a business bank account and how to structure your account once you open it
- Plus, understand quarterly taxes and get set up to pay them…..
That’s when you start operating like the CEO of your spicy biz.
It’s when you start building a profitable future for yourself and feel calm, capable and organized when it comes to handling your hard earned cash.
Because you understand your numbers, you can zoom out and look at the big picture not just hustle shift to shift.
