Can't stop spending

[Beautybumblebee]

Does anyone else who has their own business spend spend spend?
Every day I am purchasing something new for my business.. nail stamping plates, wax stock, new polishes etc.
its becoming silly, its as if I never have enough and I'm trying to have as much variety as high street salons when I work from home!

does anyone else have this problem and how do you stop yourself from over spending?
I need to start saving my money for myself.

I find the following thought powerful:

Money that I don't spend is money that I don't have to worry about earning.

I pretty much live by that.

Every time I'm tempted by new products or treatments this becomes my mantra. I swear it has made me more focused, less wasteful and more profitable.

''Will it make the boat go faster''? is a life saver for me too <3

For example, I do mostly gel polish manis and pedis but I have a few ordinary polish pedi customers that come regularty, the one said to me I needed to get more colours as I have way more choice in gel then regular polish.. so I did, I spent £60 on new regular polishes.
She visited me the other day and picked one of the old colours!
I was a bit miffed.
