Entrepreneurs: Shift Your Money Mindset and Build Financial Confidence with Paula Wilimek: Money Mindset for Entrepreneurs with Paula Wilimek

On this episode of The Self Made Life Podcast, I sat down with my own financial advisor and money mindset coach, Paula Wilimek chatting all things money mindset for entrepreneurs. In this powerful conversation, we chat about building financial confidence, reprogramming your beliefs around money, and what it actually takes to manage your business cash flow with clarity — not fear.

Whether you’re an established entrepreneur or just starting out, this episode is packed with real talk, tools, and practical tips that will help you take your money power back.

What We Covered in This Episode

Why Money Mindset Matters More Than the Math

Paula shares how the stories we inherit from childhood — like “money doesn’t grow on trees” or “we can’t afford that” — can unconsciously limit what we allow ourselves to earn and ask for. The first step? Awareness. Once you spot the belief, you can start to change it.

“What you appreciate, appreciates. It’s not just numbers. It’s mindset.” — Paula Wilimek

Getting Comfortable With Cash Flow

We also talked about the tracking tools that make finances feel less scary. Paula recommends starting small — even with a simple spreadsheet or the Lucky Bitch app — to track your income and abundance (not just expenses). Visibility = empowerment.

She also helped me build projections for Monarch Design Co. that actually feel doable. Instead of pulling a big scary number out of thin air, we broke it down: how many VIP Days, website projects, or templates it would take to reach my goals — and what to market to get there.

Tools + Resources Mentioned:

• Rich as Fck* by Amanda Frances

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re recovering from feast-or-famine cycles, coming back from maternity leave, or just feeling disconnected from your money, remember: You’re not alone. And you don’t need a finance degree to build wealth. You just need support, strategy, and belief that you’re worthy of more.
