Money-In; Money-Out - Where does it go?

Tora Moon Episode 13

Episode 13:  This is the third episode in our Financial Basics for Authors series. In this episode, I talk about tracking your money coming-in and going out. This is shown on your income statement, also called your profit and loss.

 Download a sample financial statement (both the Income Statement and Balance Sheet) to look at while I walk you through them.  https://indieauthorbizguide.com/resources/
