This episode takes us to Brazil, where I had the pleasure of interviewing Morena while she was there visiting family. The birds were tweeting away in the background as Morena, a business profit strategist, shared her insights and top tips with us on all things buisness, money and family.
Morena's Bio - I help heart-centred female entrepreneurs who are making £55K+ per year to create the strategies to control their money so they can hit their financial goals month in and month out.
No matter how much money you make, if you don’t have the strategies and systems in place to support you, you end up not having anything to show for your work. Money is a fluid energy and as such it can go out as quick as it comes in.
I have worked in financial management for the last 7 years of my career.
The last 3 years were in International Development managing the financial side of projects ranging from £5M to £35M. That helped me to become very good are creating and managing budgets as well as the day to day financial management part and understanding how to deliver results and get the best out of people.
Prior to that I have worked at the commercial side of the Science Museum Group in the UK, which is a group of four National Museums. I have had a broad role doing management accounts to all commercial areas, including Retail, Catering, Cinemas and Customer Service which gave me great commercial awareness and analysis capabilities to figure out what initiatives are working and which are a waste of time.
Most small business only see their accountants couple of times a year for their tax returns but I believe that there is much more we can gain from analysing our figures and using them to direct the business strategy.
I am also a mum to a gorgeous 18 months old boy that challenges me everyday to want to be better and to work towards my dreams.
