Money can be a complicated thing for many of us. Studies show that nearly a quarter of couples break up over money. But it’s not just romantic relationships that fall victim to financial stress. Your friendships and parent / child relationships can all thrive or suffer based on a few money decisions. As business owners, both money and relationships are constantly affected by our choices. This month we are going to talk about how to use this power for good. We will look at ways to set ourselves up both business-wise and personally to use our money well to take care of the people we love. We will also talk about how to bring those people along in our journey through conversations and planning.

January in Missoula is gray and cold and we’re all starting to get a little over winter. The sun doesn’t show up very often and the days are short, even when it does. I am constantly pulled between tucking in with a good book or some netflix under a big blanket for 4 weeks and going through every nook and cranny and getting rid of all of the crap I don’t want filling my life anymore. Tuck in or clear out.
