What this is
Working for yourself changes how money flows through your life. Without a regular paycheck, automatic tax withholding, or employer benefits, it is easy for business and personal finances to blur together. This course helps you build a practical personal finance system designed for entrepreneurs. You will learn to separate your accounts, pay yourself on a steady schedule, budget around uneven income, build an emergency fund, understand basic insurance options, and plan conceptually for taxes on self-employment income. Each lesson ends with an action step, so you build your own system piece by piece as you go.
You work through it at your own pace, lesson by lesson, applying each exercise to your own situation. It is educational content only, not financial, tax, legal or investment advice, and it does not promise any financial result. For decisions about your own situation, speak to a qualified professional.

- Set up separate business and personal accounts with a clear money flow.
- Handle mixed-use expenses with a consistent method and supporting records.
- Choose a sustainable owner pay amount and set a regular pay schedule.
