At stub, our why is super important to use. The why we get up every morning to do the things that we do. One of our why’s is allowing humans to imagine something that doesn't exist yet and bringing it to life, in other words, creatively excel at their craft. Why is this a “stub why”? Because we believe that if we make managing your talent or craft as a business super simple, you will ultimately succeed in what you do.
We want to do the heavy lifting on the numbers stuff, and empower you with the financial insights you need to make informed decisions for you and your business. It directly implies inclusivity no matter who the entrepreneur is, or what they do. Even if you don’t think of yourself as an entrepreneur (we all are to some degree, it’s kinda part of being human), we are here for you.
From bakers to creators to candlestick makers, stub has your back and we want to see you grow. The diversity of humans doing the things they love, who show up everyday is the stuff that gets us really excited. That's the really good stuff.
Humanness and entrepreneurship
Let’s go back to that thing that we said a couple of sentences ago about entrepreneurship as a part of being human. Agree? Disagree? Let us give you something to think about. Entrepreneurial behaviour directly involves human traits and actions like creativity, innovation, problem solving, independence, adaptability and learning. We all have at least one of these traits and in essence, entrepreneurial behaviour reflects and leverages core human “stuff”.
All human beings are innately creative and are capable of imagining new solutions or possibilities. Whether you consider yourself an entrepreneur or not, you’ve got certain traits within you waiting to be unlocked.
What are we getting at here? Yes, we build super simple accounting at stub, but we’re building for humans, and that’s the point.
Size really doesn't matter with stub
Size really doesn’t matter at stub (keep your minds with me here, haha), but really, it doesn’t. The amount of people we chat to who say that their hustle isn't big enough or they don’t even consider the thing that they do, a real thing yet. Come on peeps, give yourself some credit. If you are doing anything to make some extra bucks or even just exploring an avenue because you think you may be kinda good at it, it's a thing and be proud of that.
Aaaand this brings us to our next point, it’s never too early to start managing the “thing” properly 👇
It’s never too early to start stubbin’
Managing the thing that you do from the get go really set’s a solid foundation for long term sustainability of your business. In the early stages, understanding your income streams and best performing products are really important habits to get yourself into, especially to understand where the money’s coming from, honey 😉 Tracking your spend is also important as it helps you see exactly how your business is doing. As much as we love to watch how much money is flowing into our business, we always need to be aware of what is flowing out.
Whether you send one invoice a month, or no invoices at all and just want to make use of stub payment links, we want to see you showing up. Keeping track of your business activity is super important so that you can stay organised and on top of your game.
Managing your businesses finances, no matter how big or small you are, cultivates a proactive mindset towards financial stability, laying the groundwork for the future. By starting early, you support your hustle's overall financial health and stub makes this really easy.
So the nugget here is to embrace your entrepreneurial journey early, you never know where it may take you,
Just start!
