Final thoughts

So here we go again:
• Make a separate business account. At least you'll know what money are coming in and how much you have available for spending.
• Try to keep expenses to the level of what's available on your business account. If you need some "personal adjustments" ok, but this will really help not overspending.
• If you really have to put your money in, make a clear "return period" and stick to it.
• Never forget that a business is supposed to bring money in, not to spend the reserves.
• Separate things as much as possible. You don't have to get your family in trouble – your business is a business, your life is your life.
