Bootstrap Biz Advice

BEST BIZ ADVICE FOR 2026 | Hydrate often, invoice quickly & turn on your auto email follow ups for your invoices to help with cashflow. I manage my own brand deals. While that means more money in my pocket, it also means all the admin tasks are on me. I would not have been able to manage all my 2025 partnership payments, many of which were international, if it wasn’t for Relay.

I can invoice directly through Relay so it’s super easy for brands to pay me and I don't have to chase down money because my automations do that for me. I can also easily glance at my Accounts Receivable in the same place I check my bank accounts so it saves me time.

Running a business can be incredibly chaotic if you don’t have solid systems in place to make sure things don‘t get lost in the shuffle. Relay helps small business owners take control with multiple checking accounts for expenses, payroll, taxes, and profit, so every dollar has a purpose.

This year, one business owner will kick off 2026 with $26,000 to start the year strong—with clarity, confidence, and momentum.

HERE'S HOW TO ENTER THE SWEEPSTAKES:
Sign up for Relay by Dec 31, 2025
Get approved for your NEW business banking account
Fund your account with at least $100 (no holds)
You’ll automatically be entered to win $26,000 to start your year strong!

To enter just visit: www.lashondabrown.com/relay26Kpayday

No purchase necessary. Promotion ends on 12/31/25. Open to ages 18 and up. Available in Continental United States & District of Columbia. See Official Rules (www.relayfi.com/26k-payday) for more details. Void where prohibited.

Typically our workshops are at 1 PM Eastern but after doing my Year-End calls it seems like most of you work full-time jobs. If I changed the timing for 2026, which best suits your life in this season on weekdays?
