The stress of finances
Recently I have been letting money stress me out beyond the limits of normal stress levels. I have decided to start a new career, in essence starting a small yoga business of my own. Now, I have been told (repeatedly, I might add) that it takes 2-5 years for a small business to take off. I understand that. I hear you. I get it. But I don’t like it. I am not a patient girl and I am used to nearly automatic success. This is not the case in small businesses and therefore not the case when it comes to my finances right now. So, I am stressing myself out (yes, I am aware that I am doing it to myself) about money intake and expenses. How do I fix this? I have some savings and, while I don’t want to draw upon them, at least I have a cushion in case of emergency. I’ve tried to put myself on a budget but the scary part comes when my income and necessary budget don’t exactly match up. It’s just hard to know what to expect to make when you are just starting out in a new career. So, aside from a fairy godmother sending me a great, big fat check (wouldn’t we all love that) it looks like a few more months (or possibly years) of trying to bring my yoga to my finances and breathe when I get stressed, try to remember that it will all work out in the end!
