September's Spoonful of Strategy 🥄

Brigid Reale, Lynn Norris September 03, 2026

A Tiny Taste of Tactical Genius

Hey Busy VO Pro,

You pour a lot into your business - but when’s the last time you made sure you got paid?

This month’s Spoonful is a simple shift that helps creative solopreneurs stop living invoice to invoice - and start building real stability.


🪙 Your Strategy:

Use the Profit First Lite approach.
It's a simple system to help you:

  1. Separate your income into a few buckets

  2. Allocate small percentages every time money comes in

  3. Pay yourself first—even if it's just 5%

Start with 3 accounts:

  • Income (where payments land)

  • Taxes (move 20–30% as it comes in)

  • Owner Pay (yes, that’s YOU)

Bonus bucket if you want to get fancy: Profit (even 1% adds up over time!)


💡 You can set up free checking accounts through most online banks.
Even if you're starting with tiny amounts, the habit matters more than the number.


🫙 Why It Works:
This creates intentionality around your money.
It turns income into a plan - not just a paycheck.

✨ Coming Next Month:
Q4 is upon us. Let's not only end the year strong, but also be ready for the new year, calm and organized.
