    Jan 15 2025
    Making the switch from an employee to an entrepreneur requires many changes, not only with your new responsibilities but your mindset as well. You’ll have lots of new thoughts and fears, but overall, employees who want to be entrepreneurs seek the advantages of providing products and services they are passionate about while reaping the benefits of being self-directed with their own business. In today’s podcast episode, I cover some of the most critical steps to take when going from an employee to an entrepreneur. You’ll need to think differently as an entrepreneur. Most entrepreneurs will always feel some sort of fear, but when you make the decision to get started with your business or side hustle, you’ll see why there are so many people starting their own businesses. It’s a freedom that you’ll only be able to experience when you take the leap. Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA; if you are ready to make the shift from employee to entrepreneur, take the steps I talk about in this episode and stop thinking and start doing. Make a decision and do it now. These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, or FreshBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document… Schedule your Complimentary Stress Audit And Clarity Session, where we’ll work together to create a clear and focused plan and overcome the obstacles that stand in your way so that you can move forward and immediately start enjoying your life with less stress, increased productivity, and more time to spend doing what you love with the people you care about: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to get updates on upcoming opportunities & grab the Audit Of Your Well-Being & Balance Guide here: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?

    Jan 8 2025
    With the start of the new year, do you feel discouraged when you look at your sales figures for the year? I understand how easily this can happen when you consistently think you are starting the year out with zero sales and you have a huge mountain to climb to get your sales to where you want them to be. In today’s podcast episode, I’m letting you in on a little secret to avoid that discouragement altogether. It’s a new way to think about your sales. It will create a positive mindset that will have you bringing in additional sales before you know it. My goal with this podcast episode is to help you feel more at ease with your sales figures when starting out the year and help you be more productive while moving forward this year. After all, if you are like most business owners, your goal is to continuously increase your sales numbers, inspire more customers with the products and services you provide, and fulfill your goals. Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA; I want you to incorporate this simple yet resourceful way to think about and monitor your sales not only at the beginning of the year but throughout the year as well. These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, or FreshBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document… Schedule your Complimentary Stress Audit And Clarity Session, where we’ll work together to create a clear and focused plan and overcome the obstacles that stand in your way so that you can move forward and immediately start enjoying your life with less stress, increased productivity, and more time to spend doing what you love with the people you care about: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to get updates on upcoming opportunities & grab the Audit Of Your Well-Being & Balance Guide here: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?
