“I think a lot of times we look at living elevated in a financial way, but for me, it’s more about what you’re doing with your time and who you’re spending it with.” – Kelly Cahen

Do you find it challenging to balance your business and personal life without neglecting self-care?

Kelly Cahen’s journey began unexpectedly in the beauty industry where her intuitive decisions and passion for hairstyling grew into a thriving career.

Kelly’s unique perspective balances the joy of self-care with the seriousness of budgeting.

In this episode of The Elevated Life podcast, we’re sharing “Balancing Business, Budgeting, and Self-Care with Kelly Cahen“ so you can not only scale your business, but uplevel your quality of life too.

Balancing Business, Budgeting, and Self-Care with Kelly Cahen

Make Finance Fun

For entrepreneurs, understanding where your money is coming from and where it’s going is key to sustainability. QuickBooks or similar software usually track your spending after the fact. Kelly suggests this is where many business owners make a mistake; instead, they should be planning their finances before spending.

By giving each dollar you earn a job or purpose, you lessen the risk of impulse spending. You start spending with intentionality and start feeling more in control of your financial situations.

Embrace Delegation

In an society where multitasking is often praised as a skill, it’s easy to overlook the potential downsides. Kelly stresses the importance of delegation, equating it to a critical aspect of self-care.

One of the ways Kelly has elevated her business approach is by recognizing that some tasks don’t necessarily need her direct involvement. When you automate and delegate tasks, it frees up time and resources for you to focus on the core areas of your business.

Bring Mindfulness into Everyday Tasks

Where we typically associate self-care with activities like bubble baths or pedicures, Kelly advises transforming the mundane into the meditative. Bring intention to daily tasks: before sipping your morning coffee, take a moment of gratitude or set an ambition for the day.
