How to Overcome the “I Can’t Handle Money” Syndrome



“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7


When it comes to managing money, many Christian women entrepreneurs struggle with the thought, “I’m just not good at this.” 



Maybe you’ve said it yourself, or you’ve felt that managing your business finances is just too overwhelming. 


One of my clients shared the same concern with me—she was working hard, bringing in clients, but somehow the money always seemed to slip through her fingers. She felt defeated, believing she simply wasn’t “wired” to handle money.


But here’s the truth: that feeling of overwhelm doesn’t come from God. He’s given you a spirit of strength and a sound mind, and with the right guidance, you can take control of your finances. 


Let’s dive into how to let go of this mindset and embrace the tools that will help you manage your money effectively.


Money is a Tool, Not a Burden


One client came to me feeling like money was her biggest stressor. She worked hard to grow her business, but her finances always felt out of control. The problem? She viewed money as something stressful, instead of as a tool that could help her build the business of her dreams.



Money isn’t something to fear—it’s a resource. And when you manage it wisely, it can create stability, peace, and growth. The Profit First system is one of the simplest ways to start managing your cash flow in a way that works. By setting aside specific amounts for profit, taxes, and expenses, you’ll know exactly where your money is going, giving you more peace of mind and confidence in your business.


Small Changes Make a Big Difference


You don’t need to overhaul your business to make a big impact on your finances. One client of mine started by doing an expense audit. We went through every single expense and found several recurring payments she didn’t even need anymore. By eliminating just a few of those, she saved hundreds of dollars each month.



Next, we focused on paying herself first—something many business owners forget to do. By implementing Profit First, she was finally able to see her hard work reflected in her own income, instead of feeling like she was just working to pay the bills. These small changes brought her financial clarity and gave her the confidence to grow her business even more.


You Can Take Control


The belief that you “can’t handle money” is just that—a belief. But it doesn’t have to be your reality. Another client was surprised to learn that with just a few tweaks, she could completely transform her business finances. She started paying herself consistently, investing back into her business, and felt more in control of her money than ever before.




You have the tools to succeed. With God’s guidance and a system that works, you can take control of your finances and watch your business grow.


Ready to Take the First Step?


If you’ve ever told yourself that you’re not good at managing money, it’s time to shift that mindset. You can handle money. With tools like the Profit First system, you can uncover hidden cash in your business, reduce unnecessary expenses, and create a plan that ensures you’re building a strong financial foundation.


“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” — Proverbs 21:5
