From Feelings to Facts: Romancing Your Business Numbers for Success
Here’s the truth, ladies: too many business owners are feeling their numbers instead of knowing them. And while gut instincts can guide you, facts are what keep your business thriving. Numbers don’t lie they tell the story of whether your business is giving you freedom or secretly chaining you down.
This episode of The Moxie Movement Podcast is all about moving from the emotional guesswork of “I think I’m doing okay” to the grounded clarity of “I know exactly where my business stands.” And yes, I even show you how to add a little romance to your numbers so they become something you actually look forward to.
Living Our Dream of Location Freedom
As I record this, I’m sitting in the tropical heat of Thailand a full-circle moment back to where Jonny and I first met. This isn’t a fluke or a lucky break. It’s the result of deliberate choices, consistent systems, and clarity around our numbers.
Seven years ago, we set the goal of not just financial freedom, but location freedom. After years of planning, renovations, and even a few pandemic detours, here we are: working remotely, homeschooling Scarlett, and running our businesses while exploring the world.
That’s the power of knowing your numbers. When you’re clear on what’s coming in, what’s going out, and where your profits really sit, freedom stops being a dream and starts being your reality.

Embracing Change (and the Hard Bits)
Even from Thailand, business hasn’t skipped a beat. My coaching practice runs smoothly, podcasts keep rolling, and events are being planned for when we’re back in New Zealand. Jonny’s cruise business? Thriving thanks to an onboard and onshore team that’s empowered to manage the details.
Here’s the lesson: when your numbers are sorted, your team is empowered, and your systems are locked in, you can step back without everything falling apart.

Let’s be honest, big change is never challenge-free. From Scarlett adjusting to suitcase living to saying a hard goodbye to my Gran, this journey has been filled with obstacles.
But here’s what I know: every obstacle is a test of how committed you are to the vision you’ve set. And when you’ve got clarity on your numbers, you’re stronger, steadier, and more able to weather the storms.
But here’s what I know: every obstacle is a test of how committed you are to the vision you’ve set. And when you’ve got clarity on your numbers, you’re stronger, steadier, and more able to weather the storms.
- Embrace the Obstacles: They’re part of the process. Every detour tests your resolve.
- Move Your Body: Mental health is tied to physical health. Exercise keeps your mind strong.
- Shape Your Environment: Create a workspace that fuels productivity and keeps your business flowing.
Here’s the kicker you can’t “feel” your way to financial clarity. You’ve got to know your scoreboard.
And here’s where the “romance” comes in: make it enjoyable. Light a candle, pour your favourite coffee, and make reviewing your numbers a habit you actually look forward to.
- Use a Framework: I recommend Profit First (or Profit First for Tradies if you’re in NZ/AU). It’s a simple, practical way to structure your money.
- Know Your Costs: Understand both direct (per unit) and indirect (fixed) costs. This helps you price properly and boost profitability.
- Review Regularly: Small, consistent tweaks beat big, scary overhauls every time.
And here’s where the “romance” comes in: make it enjoyable. Light a candle, pour your favourite coffee, and make reviewing your numbers a habit you actually look forward to.
- Read Profit First (trust me, it’ll change how you view your business).
- Ask Questions, no question is too small when it comes to your money.
- Romance Your Numbers make reviewing them a ritual, not a chore.
Here’s the thing: freedom in business doesn’t come from working harder. It comes from clarity. And clarity starts with your numbers.
