Hey, I'm Steph Blake 👋
I'm that crazy woman who is obsessed with working less than 20 hours per week & making a full-time income 🤪
...AND I WANT TO HELP MAKE THAT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TOO!
It's really easy to fall into the trap of overworking & not getting the results you want.
I worked the 80+ hour weeks for years to reach the elusive "6-figures per year" goal.
But when I found out I was pregnant with my first son in 2018, I realized that I needed to figure out a way to leave my 9-5 job and go full-time in my business.
So I created a SIMPLE solution that my ADHD brain could understand & implement...quickly!
For the past 5+ years, I have taught this method to thousands of people, retired my husband in early 2022 from his 9-5 job & consistently work <15 hours/week while making 6+ figures.

How do you thank someone who stopped you from giving up on your business and helped you discover your true purpose?
For years, I was held back by a missing link that I couldn’t identify—until I worked with Steph Blake.
She helped me find it in a Mastermind where we shared our businesses, fears, and mindsets in a safe, supportive space.
Despite never having met Steph before, the experience was transformative. I’ve worked with countless coaches and invested significant time and money without seeing results, but none understood my mission and passion like Steph.
She grasped my "why" almost better than I did.
What makes Steph unique is how much she truly cares. She listens deeply and finds the simplest, most effective strategies to help you start or scale your business.
Thanks to Steph, I now believe I can build the business I’ve always envisioned. The outcome exceeded my expectations.

3 Necessary Elements for Bookkeeping with Courtney Martin
"Pay yourself. I don't care if it's 2% of what you make, but you deserve to be paid for the work that you are doing." - Courtney Martin
In the latest episode of The Simple Business Show™, host Steph Blake chats with Courtney Martin, a bookkeeper focused on empowering female entrepreneurs.
In a world where managing finances can often feel overwhelming, this episode highlights the critical elements of bookkeeping that every business owner should understand.
Importance of Bookkeeping
At the heart of their discussion is the necessity of bookkeeping for every entrepreneur. Many business owners struggle with financial management, leading to unnecessary stress.
Courtney highlights how bookkeeping is not just about numbers; it’s about empowering business owners to make informed decisions and plan for the future.
Separate Personal and Business Finances
One of the first steps Courtney emphasizes is the need for a separate business bank account. Mixing personal and business finances can lead to confusion and complicate your financial records.
Having a dedicated account helps clarify your business transactions, making it easier to manage and evaluate your financial health.
Choosing the Right Bookkeeping Software
Courtney shares her top recommendations for bookkeeping software, highlighting options like Wave, Xero, and QuickBooks.
Each software has different capabilities and price points, so choosing one that aligns with your business needs is essential. Courtney’s free quiz, Number Navigator, helps entrepreneurs identify which software is best for them.
Profit First Method
A standout strategy discussed is the Profit First methodology. Contrary to traditional methods where profits are calculated after expenses, this approach encourages business owners to allocate their profits first.
By doing so, entrepreneurs ensure they're paying themselves and can maintain a healthier cash flow.

DIY Bookkeeping Process
Courtney breaks down bookkeeping into three essential steps for those who prefer to tackle their finances independently:
Categorizing Transactions: Accurate categorization of expenses is necessary to understand where your money goes and to prepare for taxes.
Reconciling Accounts: Monthly reconciliation of your bank statements with your bookkeeping records is crucial for accuracy.
Reading Financial Reports: Familiarity with your profit and loss statements and balance sheets empowers you to make informed business decisions.
