Day: April 25, 2022

Did you know that before I started The Free Mama my husband and I owned a business together? Technically, Pit Stop Auto Detailing was my husband’s company, but my name was on all the paperwork and I helped with his data entry, so… Anyway, my husband worked so hard to keep his 3 shops fully staffed and full of cars. (In fact, that’s where he got so good at running Google Ads, which is what his agency does today!) Once we started making money in business, we had no idea how much money we’d be paying in taxes.  We were completely unprepared for the amount of taxes we owed. We were still growing the business, and reinvesting any money that we had earned, so when the tax season rolled around, and they were WAY higher than we imagined, we didn’t have all the cash. Talk about a terrifying situation. We met with a CPA to see what could be done, deferred taxes until the fall, but it wasn’t a great experience. It seemed like she truly had no idea what it was like for us at the business owner level. So when I launched The Free Mama a few years later, I was super conservative with my savings and proactive with my taxes. I made quarterly tax payments and felt ahead of the game, but I was still being hit with huge estimates that left me feeling frustrated that I was working so hard to owe so much. What did the wealthy know that I didn’t understand yet?! It wasn’t until Ryan sat me down and talked to me entrepreneur to entrepreneur, and taught me what I REALLY needed to know about business taxes that I could: * Know exactly what I was going to pay in taxes * NEVER pay more than 20% of my active income (this was HUGE for me) * And, do it all simply and easily (without being a tax genius) in just 4 afternoons per year If you want to learn that too, then be sure to register for our LIVE “Free Mama & Wealth” training where I’ll be bringing Wealth Building experts (specifically for business owners like us) Brad Gibb and Ryan Lee in to the Free Mama Movement Facebook Group show you how to save FIVE-FIGURES in taxes, & create Cashflow for life.

Did you feel conflicted by work demands and a deep desire to be with your baby when you first became a mom? I know I did. In fact, it’s how The Free Mama was born! I wanted to find a way to pursue my ambitions, while still showing up as the mom I wanted to be. Women shouldn’t have to choose between family and their financial stability. That’s why it was a no brainer for me to sponsor an upcoming virtual event geared towards helping women whose bellies are growing right alongside their businesses. Kylie from The Pregnant CEO has created a free 4 day event to help you plan + fund your own maternity leave – so you can take maternity leave with your new baby, without sacrificing the business that you’ve spent years on building. You can learn absolutely everything you’d ever want to know about the summit over here, but here’s a breakdown: -The summit will run from Monday, May 2-Thursday, May 5. -Each day will be packed with amazing speakers – including me!! – who are ready to help you plan + fund your own maternity leave. -There’s a pop-up Facebook group where you’ll find accountability buddies, connect with other pregnant CEO’s, ask questions and be in the running for some incredible prizes! -You can attend the summit absolutely free, but you can choose to grab the All-Access —-Pass or CEO Success Bundle at any time. The CEO Success Bundle will give you 12 months access to the sessions, worksheets, 2 live panel sessions, as well as over $3500 in resources from the speakers including courses, workbooks, free memberships, and more. The CEO Success Bundle is currently being offered at a special price, and it will disappear for good once the summit is over, so start thinking about it now! You shouldn’t miss out on spending time with your new baby even though you’re self-employed. Especially because you’re self employed! You’ve worked hard to get where you are and you might be scared that taking time away from your business will undo all of that hard work. In these three days you’ll learn how to: -Continue earning just as much money, even when you’re on maternity leave. -Spend time with your new baby without stressing about your business and your future. -Save time with a clear roadmap of everything you need to do – and when to do it – so you can actually take maternity leave. -Position your business to continue to grow while you’re on leave. -Feel confident and prepared for your future as a mama AND as a business owner. And that’s why this free event is just for YOU! Want to learn more?
