"Entrepreneurship feels like being skinned alive... it’s the spiritual work you didn't know you needed." 🤯✨ When I sat down with CPA and fractional controller Melissa Armstrong for the latest episode of Hustle With Aloha, I knew we’d talk about money. But I didn't expect us to get this beautifully real about her entrepreneurial journey. From leaving corporate leadership in her 40s to navigating how perimenopause changed how she manages her energy and business, Melissa shares the unfiltered truth about going solo.
In this episode, we’re diving into:
🌴 Making the leap from a steady paycheck to the uncertainty of entrepreneurship.
🌴 Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.
🌴 Knowing your biz numbers (beyond just checking your bank account!).
🌴 The critical financial mistake rookies make that cuts through the corporate veil.
Melissa’s tolerance for BS went down, her intentionality went up, and the result is a badass business built on her own terms. Whether you’re in the thick of starting a business, watching your business mature, or planning your next big career pivot, this conversation has tasty nuggets you'll enjoy.
