“A step towards what you fear is a mile towards mastering it.” ― Matshona Dhliwayo

is a course for people who need to change the way they think about money in order to master their finances and grow their business.

Understanding your finances is a powerful tool as a business owner. To fully use that powerful tool, you have to conquer the fear and misunderstanding that so many deal with in regards to finances. My goal with this course is to help agencies and freelancers finally solve the mystery of their finances in a fun, simplified way. I have been able to help many in other agencies to fully understand their finances for the first time and it has been life changing for them.

MY "WHY"

This course was developed out of a true desire to help my agency and freelancer friends. I kept hearing the same thing over and over. So many were struggling with all things money….cashflow, pricing, savings, taxes, and more. I have always had not only a passion but a deep understanding for all things financial. I knew I had to do something to help! At first, it was just one on one as friends and colleagues started to ask my opinions, thoughts or what my “process” is regarding money. But soon I realized that this was needed on a much larger scale and that there were 5 core areas that needed to be discussed with agency owners and freelancers.

Hi! I'm Nev!

I'm an Agency Owner who teaches people how to understand their money and how to use it as a tool to grow their business.

I'm a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and Duquesne University, with a Bachelor's in Economics and an MBA in Finance.

Money talk doesn’t need to be scary. Or boring. Or something you do behind closed doors with an accountant who appears to be speaking another language (I call it “Financish” - a language designed to intimidate and confuse its listeners, most often spoken by financial planners and accountants).

I help Agency Owners and Freelancers make sense of their financial statements, get over the fear of having a good, hard look at the financial health of their business, and learn the language to empower them to have better relationships with their accountants and bookkeepers.

Outside of work, you’ll find me:

Working out
Crafting the perfect smoothie
Studying (I am an ecourse junkie)
or reading the Wall Street Journal (Erm no... I’m not boring. Knowledge is power people!).

Hi!! My name is Mary Beth Harris Tedrick. It’s sort of funny that I am sitting here writing a bio for a finance course. I say this because I hated math when I was younger and I was way too into my friends to pay attention as my parents tried to teach me about finances. Plus, I thought I knew more than my parents (which now as a mom of three boys, I have apologized to my parents numerous times for!!! )

All my life, I have wanted to be a teacher so I went to Slippery Rock and got my degrees in Elementary and Special Ed. I got a job right away teaching in the district I graduated from. I was teaching Reading and Social Studies to 5th graders which was perfect. A few years later, the scariest thing happened...I had to teach MATH!!! I was in a panic!!!! It turned out that I was really good at teaching it. I knew how yucky math was when I was in 5th grade so I made sure I made it fun and broke it down in a way that everyone could understand. The best thing is, I got results!!! Fast forward a couple of years and the position of math coach became available. This is a position helping other teachers implement new math ideas and writing the curriculum. I was encouraged to apply so I did...and I got the job! Math became my favorite thing because there is a process, a system and I could break down even the hardest concepts is very simple.

Then after having three boys, I decided it was time to give back to my kids so I retired and joined my brother in a new adventure. I took on the task of keeping our books and everything finance. My husband still laughs at this because when we first got married, I didn’t even keep a check register and I had never reconciled a statement.

This just goes to show...It’s never too late and It’s never impossible to understand your money!

Ask yourself this...

Are you tired of struggling to understand your money?
Do you wake up every Monday morning worried about how your business is REALLY doing from a financial standpoint?
What if I told you that I could help you?
What if I could make your finances a non-issue in your daily life?

I've seen thousands of people struggling with understanding their money and I just knew there was something I could do to help.

That’s why I created my course,

welcome to

Whats inside?

Mindset

Ok, stay with me on this. It may sound new age, mystical or maybe even like hogwash to you. But this module is actually the foundation for the entire course....and I promise it's even backed by science and social proof!

you will learn:

your mindset regarding money is paramount to financial success
true financial understanding requires a fundamental shift in your beliefs about money
your money mindset can actually become a negative self fulfilling prophecy...IF you allow it!

learn about:

9 proven pricing strategies
best pricing strategies based on your business type
how to triple (yes-- I really mean X 3) what you are currently charging

Financial Reports

If those two little words caused fear, confusion or for you to immediately fall asleep as you were reading then this module is just what you always wanted!

In this one I will:

simplify the complex language typically used in financial reports
show you how to have better insight into your business and have the ability to ask questions and discuss with financial professionals
explain cash flow so that you can understand and then be less stressed by clearly seeing possible problems ahead of time.... and stop them from happening

Decision Making Framework

A frame, like the thing around that artwork hanging on the wall? Well, yes there are those types of frames. But this is a basic concept structure.... or heck lets say a simple guide even,

that will help you:

make clearer, less emotional decisions
stop over spending and wasting
objectively evaluate all options (think staffing, software and new clients/projects)
eliminate buyers remorse or taking on that disaster of a client that wreaks havoc

FAQs

I already have an accountant/bookkeeper. Do I still need this course?

How is the course delivered?

How much time do I need to devote to the course?

The real question here is- are you ready to finally destress, stop being anxious and find financial security and freedom?

When you join us, you’re investing in more than just an online program –– you’re investing in yourself and your future.

But how do I know that this training will work for me?

The simple answer? Money was never clearly explained to you. But you likely already know way more than you think you do!. You just need someone to help connect the dots for you. And fortunately, my main job title is financial dot connector extraordinaire ! Ok, but seriously you don’t know and neither do we….yet.

The truth is, we don’t know what you do when we’re out of the room, or how good you are at following instructions, learning or implementing the tools that we give you.

All we can do is point you to our testimonials so you can see what happens when others commit and follow our processes. And remember that there is a dedicated Facebook Group for you to get extra support throughout the program.

It’s not a good time for me right now. Can I join later?

Listen, I know how intimidating it may be for you to finally confront this fear! I know because so many of our colleagues, friends and students have told us that fear was a huge barrier for them. It continually overwhelmed many so they put it off for a better time or just totally avoided it altogether. The problem is that it is YOUR money, YOUR future.

Part of our roles as mentors and educators is to hold you to the same high standards that we hold for ourselves and encourage you to take decisive actions.

That's why we’re only offering Know Your Money for a short period –– to help you quickly decide whether it's the right option for you, so you don't waste time or more money procrastinating or avoid making a decision. Don’t forget, when you enroll you have lifetime access to the course.

I’m enrolled! What happens next?

Is the content immediately available or released over time?

What if I find the program isn’t for me? Can I get a refund?

We’re pretty sure that once you join us you will see the course’s value immediately! Not to mention the help and new relationships on the Facebook Group.

That said, if after 14 days of working through the program you’re dissatisfied for any reason, Nev’s team will gladly refund your full investment. Simply email them with your completed worksheets to show your commitment to the course, and we’ll get it sorted out for you.
