If you’re tired, flat out, and quietly hoping the numbers can wait until January then this episode is for you.

End of year is where a lot of tradies fall off financially, not because they don’t care, but because they’re exhausted. The problem is, waiting almost always creates a harder January than necessary.

In this episode, Katie brings things back to basics. No catch-up marathons. No perfection. Just a short, realistic reset that keeps you connected to your money so it can support you instead of stressing you out.

This is a reminder that Profit First isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about keeping the habit alive, especially when things feel busy, tight, or messy. Because the tradies who stay connected, even loosely, always start the year stronger.

Katie walks you through a simple 15-minute check-in you can do before Christmas that creates clarity now, reduces pressure later, and helps you head into the new year already a step ahead.

Whether you’ve been consistent with Profit First, stopped and started, or never quite felt on track, this episode meets you where you are and shows you how to finish the year feeling steadier and more in control.

In this episode of Profit First for Tradies, you’ll learn the following:

  • 00:28 - Why waiting until the new year to “fix the finances” often backfires

  • 01:20 - The true non-negotiables to stay on top of before Christmas

  • 02:10 - How a 15-minute money check-in restores clarity and calm

  • 03:00 - Why progress beats perfection every time

  • 03:45 - How your bank accounts quietly show you where to focus first

You don’t need a clean slate or a perfect system to finish the year well.
You just need a pause, an honest look at your numbers, and the willingness to keep going.

This episode shows you how to do exactly that, so you can start the new year grounded, prepared, and already moving forward.
