Today, we have a fun live coaching session episode for you because my guest, Patricia Viscount, is letting me coach her through some mindset shifts related to the finances of her copywriting business. I love these live coaching episodes because it’s why I do what I do, but they also showcase that whatever you might be struggling with is not unique to you, and you may hear yourself while you hear Patricia talk.

In this live coaching session, Patricia opens up about the challenges of shifting from the security of a regular paycheck to independently managing business finances. She candidly shares her struggles with impulse spending on training and memberships, often overlooking the return on investment, which led to an uncomfortable level of debt despite her natural inclination to save. With 2024 on the horizon, Patricia has decided to implement a budget for the first time in eight years, focusing on mindful spending and strategic financial decisions that propel her business forward. 

Patricia has been a storyteller her whole life. She served as an Army Officer and a Communications Specialist in the energy sector. Because of her background, she takes jargon and creates content people can understand. Patricia loves traveling, scuba diving, and cycling. Service providers, like coaches and consultants, hire her for fun & authentic on-brand strategies, website content, and email copy to attract their ideal audience. She improves your SEO ranking, articulates your unique advantage, and captures testimonials to drive new business.

In this episode, Live Coaching Session: “I Have Money in the Bank,” we cover:

  • Patricia’s raw reflections on impulse spending, the burdens of debt, and the pivotal realization that led her to implement a budget for the first time in nearly a decade
  • The need for strategic investments that genuinely propel a business forward
  • Patricia’s newfound commitment to financial discipline, focusing on mindful spending and the art of saying no to tempting offers that promise quick returns but often lead to financial strain
  • Building financial resilience by customizing strategies that fit Patricia’s unique business needs, such as balancing debt repayment with savings growth and consistently paying herself
