7-Figure Cash Flow Strategies + Intuitive Financial Decisions with Alyssa Lang
When financial expert Alyssa Lang first set out in 2015 to do her bar patrons’ taxes, she quickly realized she preferred working with the business owners that owed money – meaning they were profitable – rather than the refund seekers.
That realization was the catalyst for uncovering her true business superpower of 'using the right data to make the right decisions’ – and not, surprisingly, insta-tabulating the correct tip to add to a check – and she now works just 2-5 hours each week on the THREE 'accounting space’ advising firms she’s founded.
Today she joins us for a candid and insightful conversation about how much she’s grown alongside her wildly successful businesses, her entrepreneurial compulsion to monetize everything (can entrepreneurs even do sh*t for fun?!), and the mission she’s on to increase the percentage of all 7-figure business owners who are women… which, if you’re wondering, currently stands at a measly 2%.
Quick overview of what we cover:
- Alyssa's best financial strategy approach for anyone working in the course creating space, which she calls “ridiculously unpredictable”
- What happened professionally for her to realize she was more mission-driven than money-driven
- At what point Alyssa believes you should bring on a tax strategist or financial planner
- Alyssa's personal decision-making tree for when she pivoted from away from being an S-Corp
- Why it may not always be the best idea to get a one-stop-shop firm that does taxes, financial planning, and bookkeeping
- The realization she came to when her team got too big – and how the weaker players got weeded out
- Why she believes data is king, and how it can still create space for intuitive decision-making too
- Why many financial experts feel like therapists – and how they reconcile the emotion most women tie to making and spending money
- How she handles the problematic money mindset projections that land in her lap both personally and professionally
