We recently gathered for another Business Lounge Live event, hosted by Sammy Wynn and joined by Kim MacDonald. Kim is a Money and Mindset Mentor with over 16 years of experience in finance and personal development coaching.
Kim guided us through the financial foundations of running a heart-led business. She shared how the way we relate to money directly impacts the decisions we make or avoid in our businesses. Her approach was both practical and compassionate, making this session an invaluable for anyone at any stage of their business journey.
Whether you’re just starting out, considering turning your side hustle into a full-time career, or running an established practice, Kim’s insights were empowering, practical, and heart-centred.
Key Highlights & Learnings
Key Highlights & Learnings- Money Mindset
We explored the hidden beliefs many of us hold around money and how these can quietly hold us back from growth and sustainability. - Practical Tools for Financial Clarity
Kim introduced powerful frameworks—the Change to Transformation Chart, the Profit Matrix, and the Profit First model—to help us manage money with more confidence and ease. - Supportive Processes
Systems and processes are essential for business growth. Kim highlighted the importance of building them early so they grow with you, supporting long-term profitability and sustainability. - The Competency Model
Kim reminded us that business is as much a personal journey as a professional one. Growth takes time, practice, and self-compassion, and it’s okay to be exactly where you are. - Separating Business and Personal Finances
One of the simplest yet most powerful steps: opening separate bank accounts for business income and expenses to gain clarity and avoid overwhelm. - Pricing with Confidence
Kim encouraged us to factor in preparation time, overheads, and profit margins when setting prices—removing guilt and replacing it with clarity and sustainability. - Community and Mentorship
You don’t have to build a mindful business alone. Seeking support from coaches, mentors, and like-minded peers can accelerate learning and ease the journey. - Redefining Sales
Rather than seeing sales as “pushing,” Kim reframed it as a natural conversation to discover fit between our services and a client’s needs.
A Dynamic and Engaging Session
The event was vibrant and interactive, filled with thoughtful questions and practical advice.
The evening left participants inspired, better equipped to make money decisions with confidence. They were also reassured that mindful business practice is both possible and sustainable.
