    Business Budgeting: Know Your Costs, Plan Your Pay

    Being busy doesn’t always mean your business is making enough to pay you. In this episode, Lisa Goss, MBA, walks through building a practical business budget so you can understand your costs, set realistic revenue goals and see what’s actually available to pay yourself.

    Using a registered massage therapy practice as a service-based business example, Lisa brings the numbers to life with lessons business owners across industries can adapt. We cover commonly missed expenses, the difference between revenue and take-home pay, calculating your break-even point, and planning for taxes, slower months, emergencies and time away.

    Whether you’re creating your first budget or revisiting an existing one, this session will help you build a simple monthly routine and make more informed decisions about your pricing, workload and business.

    Your Brain Has Opened an Investigation: ADHD, RSD & the Imaginary Workplace Crisis

    Your boss says, “Can we talk?”


    That’s it. Three words.


    And somehow, 30 seconds later, your brain has opened an investigation, reconstructed the timeline, reviewed six months of emails, identified three possible suspects and concluded that you should probably update your résumé.


    Welcome to rejection sensitivity at work.


    In this episode of How to Keep Your Day Job, Lisa explores ADHD, rejection sensitivity and the very convincing stories our brains can create when information is missing.


    We’re talking about the unanswered email. The oddly worded text. The performance feedback. The client who chose someone else. The meeting invitation you didn’t get. And, of course, the deeply hostile period after “Okay.”


    You’ll hear why rejection sensitivity doesn’t always look like an emotional reaction. Sometimes it looks like over-preparing, over-explaining, people pleasing, avoiding difficult conversations, keeping every receipt and arriving at a 15-minute meeting with enough supporting documentation to testify before a parliamentary committee.


    More importantly, we’ll talk about what you can actually do when your brain starts building a case.


    How do you separate what happened from what you think it means? How do you slow down your response without dismissing what you’re feeling? And how do you handle criticism, disagreement and uncertainty without turning them into evidence that something is wrong with you?


    Because sometimes there really is a problem. And sometimes... they were just in a meeting.
