Sometimes your business money can feel a bit like Monopoly money, IYKYK 💸🤑
Spending from your business account can feel like you’re in another dimension.
Something that would normally feel crazy overpriced with your personal cash?
Now seems oddly reasonable... and it ends up in your basket and through the checkout before you can you even blink. 🤭
Shiny object syndrome is REAL ✨
It’s easy to feel disconnected from your business finances:
→ Different account
→ Separate legal entity (potentially)
→ For business use
→ And the sweet feeling of “it’s a tax write-off”
But here’s the thing, it’s still your money.
Yes, you might save 20% in tax...
But you’ve still spent the full amount.
So if that thing doesn’t help your business grow or run better, you’re potentially making a loss of ~80% on the value. 😬
Before you click “buy now,” try asking:
🦋 Would I buy this if I had to use my personal money?
🦋 Will this improve my product/service or how I deliver it?
If it’s a yes to both, it’s probably a smart investment.
If not, pop it on the wishlist and come back later with a clearer head.

And if you’re still struggling with impulse buys?
You might want an accountant or accountability partner (like me 👋🏻) who can help you stay intentional and focused on the bigger picture.
