Most business finance advice wasn’t built for you
If you're a creative or neurodivergent business owner, you've probably noticed most business money advice was made for financial professionals or large companies. If that's not your goal, a lot of it doesn’t quite fit and leaves you confused or sometimes feeling like the problem is you.
It isn't. You're building a different kind of thing.
Why I made this publication
I’m Aneisha and my writing on money first started as marketing for my business Yellow Sky Business Services, so I felt like I had to attach "…and you can hire me" to the end of it. It always felt like a mismatch: two goals pushed into one marketing funnel.
So I’m not trying to force it anymore.
The Peaceful Pocket is its own thing now as a place to share how I see money. You can hire me if you want more support with your business finances, but that's not what this space is.
How I see money
I'm a systems thinker. I see money as a tool inside a system (that’s actually a system of systems).
Your business is a system. Your personal finances are a system. They're all connected, all affecting each other, and money is a piece in all of it. My focus isn't necessarily how do I make this number bigger, it's how do we get these pieces working better together, so the whole thing fits me?
Where I’m coming from
My background is both accounting and not accounting.
The not-accounting part: I went to college for sign language interpreting, and I've had variable income my whole working life: no guaranteed paycheck, no employer safety net. Interpreting is really about bridging: making sure both sides of a conversation actually understand each other. That's still what I do. I just translate between the formal money world and the real lives of small business owners now.
The accounting part: I learned bookkeeping, earned my accounting degree, and spent years figuring out how to take concepts built for corporate and make them make sense for a small business.
And now I'm building my own microbusiness, the one I actually want to run, not the one I thought I was supposed to.
