Finances and budgeting are significant and crucial parts of running a business. I’ll admit, it is not my favorite part of being a business owner – but it is too important to ignore. In today’s episode, I am joined by Shannon Lee Simmons, finance, and money management coach and founder of New School of Finance based in Canada. She shares her “rags to riches” story with us, her business model, and the services and products that her company offers. We also get down to the nitty-gritty details on her personal and professional finances, discussing how much she charges for each of her products and services as well as her company’s net profit last year on each of her courses and services.
