Totally agree! I’m a Time Management Coach who helps high achieving women manage their time so they can achieve their goals, without sacrificing self care. In business, you have to get organized. Finances, legal, HR, operations, marketing & sales all must have a system to sustain without stress.

[@lourdiecharles4866]

Checking out your channel, thanks for commenting!

[@TheTacticalBaddie]

Friend, I subscribed cause I’m manifesting substantial growth on my channel this year, and I already suck at time management as a working, married, content creator mom 🤦🏽‍♀️ Thank you for commenting!

[@Lisa.Alexandra]

yes yes yes! 👏 we need to have more conversations about the value of our work & not letting brands rip influencers off because teenagers are working for free, and i love how you touched on the fact that women need to become more comfortable sharing numbers because it LITERALLY helps EVERYONE in the industry. 💕

[@Miriancuaya]

I started my Small Business as a dog walker, and this came at perfect timing. Thanks for sharing, Bria! I love your videos 🥰

[@BriaJones]

You are so welcome!

[@TheSadie88]

Do more videos like this please, especially about the beginning stages of your channel. The many different stages you went through before you got to the you that you are now.

[@AJ-kb9hf]

Your content in this video is gold and so authentic. I am a business owner - 9 years in, and have had some real highs and lows and this continues. Life goes on alongside our business so things don't always go as planned. Having the right people around you is more than half the battle. The right people will help to stabilise and cement the base of your business and you can grow from there. I would never go back to working for someone. Being a business owner is hard but so so rewarding. You are an inspiration.

[@habibanoor8258]

Love your videos!!! 😍 Your video on the Abundance mindset was actually life changing, thank you so much.

[@helenko_ekete]

Just found your videos and I love the transparency, I love the amount of information you give and the honesty. I have been struggling with discipline and consistency for so long. In the meanwhile I have been degrading my own worth because I always though that I am not worthy of certain things I want for myself, so I buried myself with work (for others) because I always thought you have to work your ass off to get more money, and I never put myself first. You got me so inspired to finally stay true to myself and start saying "no" to others. I am truly grateful for you help and looking forward to your future videos. Thank you

[@raejohnson8433]

When u throw that pillow down .. we know we about to get knowledge or a real talk 😊 … I’m a voice actor currently using excel next …quick books

[@Veronica-pt6hu]

So grateful for the transparency of your content. I'm presently transitioning from the excel sheet to quickbooks for my brand Valor Management so this couldn't have come at a better time. Please post more content like this especially tips for new influencers and creators. TY Bestie B!

[@ladreadublin]

Yes, it's all about community and collaboration. Thank you for putting it out there, so many people are not taking the correct steps with their business. We need to work together to lift one another up and be willing to partner more.

[@LearnwithLaurenAshley]

I totally agree with all these! Especially when it comes to hiring, you have to create boundaries and deadlines. I learned this the hard way as well and lost tons of money in the process.

How did you find your accountant and financial advisor? How much do they cost? Maybe you could do a whole video about these costs of running a business.

[@iona_burciaga]

Hi Bria! Do you have a video where you talk about what equipment you use to film?

[@almabody_]

Thank you! 🙏 I answered my main question for the last couple month. I started my own very first online project, everything went well but I felt burnout. I was asking myself WHY? “It didn’t bring even 10% of what I usually make a month and took way more energy”. Thank you for explaining this! Also, talking with influencers from your niche is the best advise! 💫

[@artistrycinemized9555]

It looks serene .

Excellent tips!!!!

[@machefn]

Hi Bria, your knowledge as a young business owner is impeccable! Could you help us with a cheat sheet of what we should charge(we could purchase from you for those that are interested)? I understand that time is money, and value your time. I have a cooking channel for example I have no idea what to charge a sponsorship when approached. If you can help us, that would be great!

[@k2mkaitlin]

Where did you find a tax accountant??

[@BriaJones]

I asked around from others working in my industry

[@CarynConnolly]

This reminds me of the time when I asked for a certain amount of money in employment and got it and a guy I knew asked for $20,000 less and got it. He got a $10,000 raise six months later but didn’t realize he could have been making more all along.

[@thissucksbigtime3536]

How do you find a lawyer that you can call on anytime you need their advice? Do you have pay a retainer fee? If so; please provide an estimate of how much we will be expecting to pay the lawyer for business advice.
