Are you still paying for your business expenses through your personal PayPal account or credit card? Or are your personal and business finances separate? 

Keeping your finances separate is not only good business practice but it’s also an important practice for if or when you go into business with your husband or wife. 

Co-mingling all of your personal and business expenses makes it impossible to know the true value of your business—and, unfortunately, it may have a severe impact on the outcome and the division of that asset when it comes to divorce. 

Thankfully, it’s never too late to learn what you don’t know and to make better decisions today that will impact your future. The more you understand, the more of an active and knowledgeable participant you can be through the process.  

On today’s episode, I’m speaking with businesswoman and entrepreneur, Aline Bender, of Kama’aina Mortgage Group. In addition to being the CEO of Kama’aina Mortgage Group with her husband, Aliene is also a sales mentor for women and helps Female entrepreneurs strategize on how to make more sales now.
