In today’s episode of Creative Minds Smart Money, we’re diving into cash flow mastery—the money moves that every creative entrepreneur needs to get a handle on.  Whether you're a freelancer, coach, or creative business owner, cash flow can make or break your business, and it's time we get real about how to master it.

I’m breaking down the key strategies you need to stay in control of your money, including:

  • How to track Cash In vs. Cash Out
  • Projecting your cash flow for the months ahead
  • Dealing with clients who don’t pay on time (we’ve all been there)
  • What to do when slow months hit, and how to build a financial cushion


Plus, we’re building on the finance routines you’ve already started—because it’s time to add cash flow tracking to the mix. Don’t let your money be a mystery. By the end of this episode, you’ll feel confident in managing your cash flow, planning for the future, and keeping your business running like the money-making machine it is.
