Debbie Bailey

THE MONEY CONVERSATIONALIST

SERVICES

Work out the profit your life actually needs, then make your business pay it.

You are good at what you do. The sales are there. But you avoid really looking at the numbers, you are not sure what you should be paying yourself, and the reward does not match the effort. That is exactly the work I do, mostly with women running established service-led businesses.

HOW THE WORK FITS TOGETHER

Everything I do sits on three pillars. The first is what you come for. The second is what makes it stick. The third is what it is all for.

01 THE STRATEGY

Build the foundations

Qualified financial strategy that fits the life you’re actually living. Profit, pricing, cashflow, what to pay yourself. Not the version where everything needs to be perfect to work for you.

We know that isn’t how it works. We want solid foundations which give you confidence.

02 THE Steadiness

Get steady

The nervous system and mindset work that makes the strategy stick. I have given business owners plans in the past, before I understood how mindset, the nervous system drives what we do.

Some followed through, some thought root canal surgery was a better option! Feeling safe with numbers is what changes the behaviour.

03 the experiences

Enjoy it along the way

Money is for now and for the future. I would never want to neglect one for the other, but so many people do (even I did).

You can enjoy life, make memories, be present, and still know the future is handled.

The attendees had never really encountered money mindset but Debbie made the idea accessible, the session was brilliantly interactive and powerful… Would highly recommend Debbie for talks to support financial wellbeing.”
