Part Two: What the Numbers Actually Look Like (and Why That Matters)
Today, I want to show you what most people skip.
What happens after the sales?
This is the unglamorous middle.
The fees.
The refunds.
The ad spend that hits a month later.
The credits that make zero sense at first glance.
We need to understand these numbers going in and out.
Because clarity beats avoidance.
And systems beat vibes.
In today’s short video, I walk through how I am using my Burn Bright Not Out Easy Bookkeeping Spreadsheet to track one income stream at a time.
Even though everything ultimately lives under one business account, I separate:
-Amazon Seller
-KDP
-Skool
-Etc.
Not because it is tidy.
Because it helps me learn about each income stream.
When I can see each stream clearly, I can:
-Spot patterns
-Make calmer decisions
-Spend less money reacting
-Grow without burning out
In the video, you will see:
-How I set up a fresh year without breaking formulas
-How I log income even when it is negative
-Why fees and refunds are data, not failure
-How the profit and loss tab tells the real story
Spoiler: January was close to break even.
That is not a problem.
That is information.
Especially when launching new products and paying upfront ad costs.
This year, we are doing things differently.
Instead of avoiding our numbers or trying to be perfect, we are building a simple habit.
Once a month, we look back, capture, and track what actually happened.
No catching up.
No shame.
No rewriting the past.
I would love for you to do yours alongside me each month. I am adding this practice to our calendar now so it feels steady, supported, and doable.
I am doing this alongside you.
We are building this muscle together.
As a gift to you, I am sharing the exact spreadsheet I use.
Here is how to get started
• Make a copy of the spreadsheet and save it in a folder in your Google Drive labeled 2026 Business Finances
• Set aside a short, calm window of time to watch the video and begin entering your income and expenses. One income stream is enough.
• Ask any questions you have in the group. This is a shared learning space.
You are not meant to figure it out alone
How this spreadsheet works
You will track your income and expenses one month at a time.
During the first week of each month, you will:
⭐ Look back at the previous month
⭐ Enter the most accurate data you can
⭐ Reflect on what the numbers are telling you
⭐ Decide on your next small adjustments
This is not about perfection.
This is about awareness.
Why this matters
Tracking your numbers consistently gives you real advantages:
📈 You make decisions based on facts, not feelings
📈 You spot patterns early instead of being surprised later
📈 You feel more in control of your business money
📈 You reduce stress because nothing is hidden
Clarity creates calm.
Calm creates better decisions.
This is how we build Income Without Burnout.
Comment, "I'm in" if you are making your spreadsheet copy now! Let's go!
