Do writers ever get to the point where they don’t have to worry about money? Probably not. Most of us must have a budget. Today Kathi talks with financial coach Cassie Rajewich about how to launch a writing career on a budget.
Here are her three key points:
- Have a side hustle.
- Have a system.
- Have a team.
Want to go more in depth on those three points? Check out Cassie’s Three Budget Must-Haves printable that she wrote just for Writing at the Red House listeners!
Finding the right budget is life-changing. So, Cassie will be back later in June to help us create our own budget. Sign up here to be notified when future episodes are released.
