Overview of the webinar

Traditional budgeting advice often assumes a steady paycheck, but that’s not the reality for solopreneurs, freelancers, or anyone earning variable income. When your monthly revenue fluctuates, planning ahead can feel impossible. This session offers a realistic and supportive approach to budgeting that actually works with how your income flows.

Who should attend?

  • New Business Owners
  • Solopreneurs with inconsistent income
  • Freelancers and contract-based workers
  • Coaches and consultants building new offers
  • Self-employed individuals juggling personal and business finances
  • Admins or bookkeepers helping clients with irregular cash flow

Why should you attend?

If you’ve ever said, “I’ll figure it out once the money comes in,” this session will help you break the cycle of uncertainty. Learn how to create a flexible money plan that gives you structure without stress, even if your income changes from month to month.
