By the end of this book, you will have a fully fleshed-out business budget for operations, taxes, debt, and paying yourself that can happen in your sleep and create revenue goals to support the life you want.

You’re not special.

No business owner actually knows what the hell they’re doing.

When my husband and I were in the process of opening up the Red Rabbit Ramen ghost kitchen with our retirement funds, we were terrified. 

We had a sit-down meeting with our CPA (because doing taxes got way scarier than TurboTax), and I remember asking him a question I thought was so dumb for me to ask as a, now, business owner: 

"But how do I pay myself?"

I had no clue if there were rules for how to write myself a check, what the hell paying myself would mean for taxes we would owe, and words I didn't understand like "laundering" and "embezzlement" were somehow creeping in with images of me behind bars.

The answers were simple, but nothing is simple until you know them. 

I then learned everything I could on business budgeting, saving for taxes, paying estimates, and utilizing banking and automation to have a worry-free handle on our money. 

And I want nothing more than to teach you too.

    “Through Terry’s coaching, I learned how to see my budget differently—putting profit and sustainability first. She helped me set up a system where I can confidently pay myself each month while knowing exactly how much belongs to the business. It’s given me both clarity and breathing room.”
