A few weeks ago, I realised I'd let one of my own routines slip. I'd been going to the gym twice a week, then I got sick, EOFY got busy and suddenly six weeks had passed.

It got me thinking about another routine I'm pretty attached to: my weekly money check-in.

For me, that means making my Profit First allocations, reconciling the previous week's bookkeeping, checking what's coming up, paying wages and bills, and making sure I know what's sitting in each account.

The best part is knowing it's taken care of. I don't have bills floating around in the back of my mind or a pile of bookkeeping I'm trying not to think about.

But it's surprisingly easy for a good financial habit to slip. You miss one week because things are busy. Then something else becomes more urgent. Before you know it, the bookkeeping hasn't been looked at for weeks and you're wondering where to even start.

The answer is simpler than you might think.... Start again.
Your money check-in might be Monday morning, Friday afternoon or half an hour with a coffee and Xero on a Wednesday. The day doesn't matter. What matters is having a regular time to stop, look at the numbers and make the decisions your business needs you to make.

Those little routines are often what stop the bigger financial jobs from becoming overwhelming.

If your money routine has slipped lately, pick it back up this week. Even 30 minutes is a start.

What's your regular money check-in day?

Rural businesses are a huge part of what makes regional communities tick. They provide jobs, services, products and opportunities, often while juggling plenty behind the scenes.

That’s why I love helping rural and regional business owners get a better handle on their numbers, cash flow and profit.

Because when the business is stronger, the whole community benefits.

When cashflow gets tighter, it’s tempting to look at every expense and think, “What can I cut?” But an expense review isn't about cutting everything possible. It’s about making sure your money is being spent with purpose.

Before you cut a cost, ask:

1. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨?
Does it make money, save time, keep things running or reduce risk?

2. 𝘼𝙢 𝙄 𝙥𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄 𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙪𝙨𝙚?
Check subscriptions, software, memberships and services.

3. 𝘾𝙖𝙣 𝙄 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙖 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙡?
Could you renegotiate, change the plan or shop around?

4. 𝙄𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩?
For seasonal businesses, timing can matter just as much as the expense itself.

The goal isn't to spend as little as possible. It's to understand what your money is doing and make intentional decisions about it.

I’ve been thinking about how much running a business is like tending a garden.

You can’t plant something and then ignore it for six months before wondering why it hasn’t grown the way you hoped.

Your money needs regular attention too, and especially in a rural business, it needs to work with the seasons you’re actually dealing with.

What would you do differently if you knew exactly where your money was going?

Would you make that investment you’ve been putting off? Pay yourself more consistently?Feel more comfortable heading into the quieter months? Or maybe just stop second-guessing every decision you make with your money.

For a lot of business owners, having a better handle on the numbers isn’t about becoming obsessed with spreadsheets. It’s about knowing what you can afford, spotting problems earlier and making decisions without constantly wondering if you’ve got it wrong.

That’s the difference good financial visibility can make.

I love a good sales target. But “we need to make more money this year” isn’t really a plan. Especially if you’re going to spend most of that extra revenue making the sales happen.

Try working backwards instead.

How much profit do you actually want the business to make?
What do you want to be able to pay yourself?
What does the business need to cover along the way?

Then you can work out what your sales need to look like.

More sales is nice. More money actually staying in the business is better.

Before Nourish Your Numbers, before becoming a Profit First Professional and before I spent my days helping other businesses with their numbers, I was running a small farm and free-range egg business in Kingston SE while raising young kids.

From the outside, we were working hard and making money.

Behind the scenes, things were a little different.

Income was seasonal, bills still needed paying and there were plenty of times I wondered how far the money was going to stretch.

Later, working in admin and finance at a mechanic’s workshop, I started seeing the same thing happening with other regional business owners. They were working incredibly hard, but getting the right financial support wasn’t always easy.

That experience has stayed with me. It’s a big part of why I do what I do today.

If you’re a rural or regional business owner and your numbers sometimes leave you wondering “where did it all go?”, send me a message. I’d love to chat.

Okay, maybe lying is a bit harsh. But misleading, definitely.

Seeing $20,000 sitting in your account doesn’t necessarily mean you have $20,000 to spend.

Some of it might already belong to the ATO. Some might be needed for wages, upcoming bills, tax, stock or that machinery repair you know is coming eventually.

The number in your bank account is useful.

But knowing what that money is actually for is much more useful.

That’s why I’m a big believer in giving your money some structure, rather than treating your bank balance as one big pot.

I hear it all the time… "I'll catch up when things pick up again."

The problem is that when the busy season arrives, that extra money often gets used to pay off debt, catch up on bills, cover BAS, or pay for things that built up during the quieter months. Then business slows down... and you're back where you started.

After working with rural and regional businesses for years, I've learned that the issue usually isn't the quiet season. It's what happens with the money during the busy season.

When you have a plan for where that money needs to go before it hits your bank account, you're far more likely to come out the other side with cash set aside for tax, profit, and the quieter months ahead.
