Pay Yourself Camp
A business mastermind like no other.
I’m glad you’re here.
Early in my business journey, I joined my own fair share of masterminds. One common theme with all the groups was that they ignored business finances like the plague.
We created a supportive group of like-minded women entrepreneurs who face their monthly numbers, know how to budget themselves, and make goals and plans for next month using actual data to back them up.
Pay Yourself Camp is about building confidence in your business financial statements, having the accountability to do your books, dissecting your numbers on a monthly basis, and crafting your action plans based on reality and not just dreaming alone.
We’re building businesses that support the lives we need to fund and desire to have. All while building a community of supportive women small business owners to grow along with.

“EVERY business owner should have Terry and her amazing program in their life! Between making financial goals easy to see, prebuilt calculators that take the fear out of taxes, it does not matter how long you have been in business, you will ABSOLUTELY benefit from working with her!”

“Working with Terry Ramsey through her PAY YOURSELF Cohort has been a truly transformative experience for me as a business owner. Over the past three months, she has created a space that challenges you to face your finances with clarity, discipline, and intention. Terry does not just teach concepts; she equips you with practical tools and resources that make managing your money feel both accessible and empowering. Through her guidance, I have gained a stronger understanding of how to pay myself consistently while also ensuring that more money stays within my business. Her approach is structured, insightful, and rooted in real financial strategy, not just theory. If you are a business owner who is ready to take control of your finances, increase your confidence, and build a healthier bottom line, I highly recommend working with Terry and joining the PAY YOURSELF Cohort.”

“I appreciate Terry creating a safe space where women can feel vulnerable about their finances in their business and give them a guide on how to budget their finances and understand their taxes so at the end of the year, we know our profit and can feel good about paying ourselves.”
Coach Mel

“I’m currently in a Pay Yourself first mastermind, and honestly… it’s been a game changer for me as an entrepreneur. It’s helping me stay on top of my finances in a way I never have before. I’m reconciling my expenses monthly, I actually feel organized, and I finally understand what I should be setting aside for taxes. But the biggest shift? I now know how to properly pay myself… and that’s HUGE. I’m five years into my business, and I can confidently say this came right on time. I honestly wish I would’ve done something like this sooner. If you’re an entrepreneur and serious about growing your business the right way… this is not optional. It’s necessary. Terry is PHENOMENAL!”

“SO helpful! We started a business and acquired a business and to have Terry here to help us set ourselves up for success and answer all our MANY tax and profit and write-off questions was incredible! We are much more in control now of our complex business finances. Also, LOVED meeting multiple times. She's super good at making it easily doable and keeping you going. THANK YOU TERRY!”

As a bookkeeper myself, bookkeeping and budgeting are not one and the same. Yes, you should have a robust business budget AND have your bookkeeping always up-to-date. But bookkeeping tends to be more reactive to financial decisions you made in the past, while budgeting involves having a clear plan for your future.
