Final Thoughts

Start by checking in on your bank accounts—are your personal and business funds still tangled up? If so, it’s time to open separate accounts and give each a clear purpose. Then, take a few minutes to map out your personal finances just like you would for your business: income, expenses, assets, and debts. Once you've got a handle on both sides, try combining them into a simple internal report to see the full picture. The goal here isn’t perfection—it’s clarity. Knowing exactly where you stand helps you make smarter, more aligned financial decisions every step of the way.
