All four of the Happy Hour ladies took the leap to self employment in different ways and for different reasons.

Today we share why we made those leaps, the lessons we learned after taking them, and some really important tips we want you to know so you can make the best decisions around self employment.

In a recent search of the top employers represented from Financial Gym clients, I discovered that the number one employer is “Self Employed.” We work with a lot of freelancing, entrepreneurial clients and it’s one of the many things I love about the Gym.

Freelancer finances are difficult to understand and plan for and we love helping our clients build businesses in a financially healthy way. I also love all of the ways people can build a business, so today I’m talking to Diana Davis, a Health and Wellness photographer in New York City, about how and why she started her business and how she’s built a successful practice doing the two things she loves most, design and photography.

At the Financial Gym, we call the first meeting you have with a trainer the “financially naked session.”

This is my first married couple to get financially naked on the show. Not only are they married with children, they also run a farm.

I just love the diversity of Financial Gym clients.
