Biz Insights From The Inside: The Power of Focus + Identifying What Makes You The Most Revenue In The Least Time with Katy Almstrom
What’s your relationship with money?
If someone were to take a look at your credit card or bank statement, would they be able to tell what your true priorities in life are?
Perhaps they’d find money is being spent by default in a way that doesn’t put an emphasis on what you say truly matters. That would no doubt be true for a lot of us.
This week on the podcast, we welcome guest host Katy Almstrom, a leading money mentor and wealth coach, teacher and speaker who helps ambitious women achieve financial freedom.
With over a decade of experience in teaching and coaching combined with her own debt-free and simplified life, Katy provides a unique service for her clients to help them slow down, map out their own joyful wealth-building journey, and create a life that has WAY less stress around money.
Katy is an expert on how to refocus in order to gain control over your finances, run your business in a way that’s true to you and make the most revenue in the least amount of time.
Today, she shares three specific lessons she learnt about managing money from building her own successful mastermind.
Lesson 1: Be More You
Katy underscores the importance of continually reassessing whether your actions align with your core values and goals. Reflecting on her own entrepreneurial journey, she emphasises the necessity of focusing on what truly matters while letting go of less critical tasks.
For anyone feeling the financial strain, Katy advises a deep dive into your current expenditures. Are your finances truly reflecting your priorities? By dedicating resources to what matters most, you avoid the pitfall of spending by default, ensuring your financial behaviour aligns with your values.
Lesson 2: Long-Term Vision with Short-Term Focus
Rather than getting lost in the month-to-month hustle, Katy encourages maintaining a clear long-term vision while emphasising the power of a 90-day focus. This approach provides both grounding and a sense of achievement, making long-term goals feel more attainable.
In financial planning, this translates to not just looking at what happened last month but having a clear plan for how you want to spend and save over the next three months. Katy stresses that focusing on a 90-day strategy allows for more effective decision-making and better alignment with long-term visions, particularly for couples working towards shared financial goals.
Lesson 3: Question Everything
Katie believes it’s crucial to question established norms and practices, especially in business. Whether it’s deciding how to launch a podcast or choosing the best way to communicate with clients, she encourages questioning traditional methods and trusting your intuition.
In her experience, even decisions like running ads should be scrutinised. Just because an approach is common doesn’t mean it’s the right fit for you. Your best strategies often come from understanding your unique strengths and preferences.
If you’re feeling stuck, tired or overwhelmed right with your money or your business, take these insights from Katy to heart and know that there are simple steps you can take to achieve the time and financial freedom you’re dreaming of.
