Whether you set goals at the beginning of the year or you have resolutions you have promised yourself you’d do in the new year, now is the time to make sure you are on track so that you can follow through with your goals and resolutions for the remainder of the year.  I’m sure that you’ve heard that most people will quit their resolution after just one week.  When asked why they don’t stick with their resolutions, most people will say that they don’t have the time, resources, or support to keep the motivation up so that they can stick to their resolutions.  This can be true of goals as well.  When you want to ensure you are reaching your goals and sticking to your resolutions, you need to make sure you are following through.  This includes checking in to see how you are doing and being truthful to yourself if you feel you are slipping and need to realign yourself so that you can continue to move forward.  In today’s podcast episode, I am going to help you take a realistic approach to making sure you are staying on track or picking yourself up and getting back on track early in the year.  I don’t want you going a few more months into this year and just giving up on your resolutions and goals.  You made promises to yourself to reach these goals, and today, I am going to hold you accountable and give you a second chance if you’ve found it was much easier to make your resolution than to keep your resolution.  Resolutions and goals are important to your business 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 accountant, a virtual assistant or VA, or other professional.  Many of the resolutions business owners make revolve around the organization of their financial data or bookkeeping.  Listen in, and let me help you make a lasting change with the resolutions and goals you’ve set for this year.  It doesn’t matter if you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave or FreshBooks for your business finances, or if you are doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document, this episode will be helpful for you… Find out how you can work with me by either scheduling a free consultation or signing up for the BALANCE Life Coaching program, where you can get private one-on-one coaching every week.  Find out where you’d like to see yourself and your business in the future.  We’ll create a laser-focused plan, including which action steps you need to take to get started on the path to success: 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?  I have a program I’m creating to help you get your business set up so that you can start making money.  Sign up for this program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/start Are you ready to try coaching?  Schedule an Introductory Coaching Session today.  You’ll have the opportunity to dip your toes in and see how you like coaching with an Introductory Coaching Session.  I’ll spend the whole time coaching you on anything you’d like coaching on in your business or your personal life: https://www.financialadventure.com/intro Join us in the Mastering Your Small Business Finances PROFIT LAB if you are ready to take control of your business finances and create the profitable business you are striving for.  Are you ready to generate revenues and increase the profit in your business: https://www.financialadventure.com/profit If You Are Ready To Choose, Start Or Grow Your Side Hustle, Get Your Free Checklist And Assessment Here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sidehustle Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: https://www.financialadventure.com/5essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path Is Waiting For You: https://www.financialadventure.com/starterguide Join Our Facebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/womenbusinessownersultimatediybookkeepingboutique The Strategic Bookkeeping Academy, including Bookkeeping Basics, is open for registration!  You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sba Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/adp QuickBooks Online -

There’s often a misconception when it comes to figuring out what you’ll be taxed on in your business.  This is normally referred to as your net income.  Many business owners will take a look at their business bank account and think this is the number they will use for their net income or what they will be paying taxes on, but it isn’t an accurate way to look at it, and it causes a lot of problems, especially if that bank account balance is lower than the actual net income.  I’ve heard many times that business owners don’t think they will owe much for taxes because they only have a small dollar amount in their bank account.  In today’s podcast episode, I cover some of the main reasons why there may be a gap between your bank balance and your net income.  It may seem like your bank balance would be an accurate way to tell what you’ll be paying taxes on, but you’ll find out today what can cause this number to not match what your true profit and loss or net income amount.  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 accountant, a virtual assistant or VA, or other professional, when you are trying to figure out what you’re tax liability will be based on, I want you to make sure you are as prepared as possible for filing your taxes, and you don’t have any surprises pop up… Find out how you can work with me by either scheduling a free consultation or signing up for the BALANCE Life Coaching program, where you can get private one-on-one coaching every week.  Find out where you’d like to see yourself and your business in the future.  We’ll create a laser-focused plan, including which action steps you need to take to get started on the path to success: 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?  I have a program I’m creating to help you get your business set up so that you can start making money.  Sign up for this program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/start Are you ready to try coaching?  Schedule an Introductory Coaching Session today.  You’ll have the opportunity to dip your toes in and see how you like coaching with an Introductory Coaching Session.  I’ll spend the whole time coaching you on anything you’d like coaching on in your business or your personal life: https://www.financialadventure.com/intro Join us in the Mastering Your Small Business Finances PROFIT LAB if you are ready to take control of your business finances and create the profitable business you are striving for.  Are you ready to generate revenues and increase the profit in your business: https://www.financialadventure.com/profit If You Are Ready To Choose, Start Or Grow Your Side Hustle, Get Your Free Checklist And Assessment Here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sidehustle Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: https://www.financialadventure.com/5essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path Is Waiting For You: https://www.financialadventure.com/starterguide Join Our Facebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/womenbusinessownersultimatediybookkeepingboutique The Strategic Bookkeeping Academy, including Bookkeeping Basics, is open for registration!  You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sba Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/adp QuickBooks Online - Save 30% Your First 6 Months: https://www.financialadventure.com/quickbooks Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: https://www.financialadventure.com/discovery Show Notes:  https://www.financialadventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit https://www.financialadventure.com for additional information and free resources.

A common question I receive from clients is how they should be recording their loans in QuickBooks.  I often see clients set up their loans the wrong way.  They will sometimes appear on a report where they shouldn’t be, which can throw off any tax planning the client is trying to do.  I know clients are trying their best and working hard to keep up with their bookkeeping, but every month when they record their loan payments, they know they are not doing it correctly, and it lowers their confidence when it comes to relying on their financial statements to make sound business decisions.  In today’s podcast episode, I’m covering all the steps you should take when you have a loan in QuickBooks.  Once you have this process in place, it really makes recording your transactions easy, and you’ll gain the confidence you need so that you can start relying on your financial statements again.  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; most businesses will have a loan at some point in time, and knowing how you should be recording all the transactions involved with your loan will help you create accurate financial reports that you can use not only in your business but for filing your tax return as well.  These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, or HoneyBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document… Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers & Financial Professionals, sign up here to be entered into a drawing for one of 5 coaching packages: https://www.financialadventure.com/accountant Ready to set up your business?  I have a program I’m creating to help you get your business set up so that you can start making money.  Sign up for this program here: https://www.financialadventure.com/start Are you ready to try coaching?  Schedule an Introductory Coaching Session today.  You’ll have the opportunity to dip your toes in and see how you like coaching with an affordable Introductory Coaching Session.  I’ll spend the whole time coaching you on anything you’d like coaching on in your business or your personal life: https://www.financialadventure.com/intro Schedule a free consultation, and we’ll work together to dive into where you’d like to see yourself and your business in the future.  We’ll create a laser-focused plan, including which action steps you need to take to get started on the path to success: https://www.financialadventure.com/work-with-me Join us in the Mastering Your Small Business Finances PROFIT LAB if you are ready to take control of your business finances and create the profitable business you are striving for.  Are you ready to generate revenues and increase the profit in your business: https://www.financialadventure.com/profit If You Are Ready To Choose, Start Or Grow Your Side Hustle, Get Your Free Checklist And Assessment Here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sidehustle Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: https://www.financialadventure.com/5essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path Is Waiting For You: https://www.financialadventure.com/starterguide Join Our Facebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/womenbusinessownersultimatediybookkeepingboutique The Strategic Bookkeeping Academy, including Bookkeeping Basics, is open for registration!  You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sba Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/adp QuickBooks Online - Save 30% Your First 6 Months: https://www.financialadventure.com/quickbooks Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: https://www.financialadventure.com/discovery Show Notes:  https://www.financialadventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit https://www.financialadventure.com for additional information and free resources.

When you are utilizing a computerized software system to do your bookkeeping, it will save you time if you are taking advantage of all the bells and whistles it has to offer, but how do you know that everything is getting classified in the proper accounts?  One of the tradeoffs you have when you are using functions such as bank feeds and automatic data entry is that you need to make sure you are reviewing all of your transactions for accuracy.  In today’s podcast episode, I cover one of the most important reports you can review to ensure all the transactions you have going into your financial statements are categorized in the right accounts.  This is a simple report to generate, and it won’t take you too much time to review, especially if you are able to work on your bookkeeping on a monthly basis so that you have accurate financial statements to review.  You know I always recommend you keep up with your bookkeeping and reconcile your accounts on at least a monthly basis.  When you do this, you are able to make smart business decisions in real-time for your business rather than having this information months after the tax year has ended, and you no longer have the ability to be proactive about your business decisions.  Whether you are 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, having the knowledge of this easy-to-generate report and understanding how simple it is to spot errors will give you even more confidence that you are doing your bookkeeping accurately.  To celebrate my upcoming 100th podcast episode, I am giving away a four-week business strategy and coaching package to one of my lucky podcast listeners.  If you’d like to be entered in the drawing, you need to sign up for one of my free consultation sessions by September 3rd, 2022.  You can go to https://www.FinancialAdventure.com/contact-us to schedule your session today.  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 a free consultation, and we’ll work together to dive into where you’d like to see yourself and your business in the future.  We’ll create a laser-focused plan including which action steps you need to take to get you started on the path to success: https://www.financialadventure.com/contact-us The Strategic Bookkeeping Academy, including Bookkeeping Basics, is open for registration!  You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/sba Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: https://www.financialadventure.com/5essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path is waiting for you: https://www.financialadventure.com/starterguide Apply to join the Mastering Your Small Business Finances CEO Mastermind or the Elevate Your Bookkeeping Business GROW Mastermind group: https://www.financialadventure.com/mastermind Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: https://www.financialadventure.com/adp Looking for an extremely beneficial online bookkeeping resource?  Join us in our Mastering Your Small Business Finances Membership, where you can ask questions and get answers regarding your specific business.  We dive deeper into the topics on this podcast and provide additional resources and accountability: https://www.financialadventure.com/mysbf Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: https://www.financialadventure.com/discovery Join Our Facebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/womenbusinessownersultimatediybookkeepingboutique Are you a bookkeeper looking to start, grow or scale your bookkeeping business?  Join our FREE bookkeeper community here: https://www.financialadventure.com/bookkeepercommunity QuickBooks Online - Save 30% Your First 6 Months: https://www.financialadventure.com/quickbooks Show Notes:  https://www.financialadventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit https://www.financialadventure.com for additional information and free resources.

As a business owner, you are always looking for ways to save time in your business, but you want to make sure you are not cutting corners in one place and causing additional problems down the road.  This holds true when you are doing your bookkeeping as well.  I always tell my clients when they are setting up their bookkeeping systems to make sure that they are capturing information that will be helpful for them when it comes time to prepare their tax returns.  But tax compliance shouldn’t be your only concern when you are doing your bookkeeping.  If there are certain items you want to track in your bookkeeping, you need to set those processes up in the beginning so that you can see the results at the end of the month, quarter or year.  Remember the saying garbage in is garbage out?  This is true in your bookkeeping as well.  When you are utilizing a computerized software system to track your bookkeeping, I’m sure you’ve noticed how easy it is to have your banking transactions automatically feed into your bookkeeping system.  There are also ways that you can have them automatically categorized for you by using bank rules.  In theory, this is a great system, but it can cause problems in your bookkeeping if you are not careful about how everything is set up from the beginning.  In today’s podcast episode, I am going over what bank feeds and bank rules are and how to ensure you have everything set up appropriately so that you can have accurate financial statements which allow you to make sound business decisions.  It doesn’t matter if you are just getting started with your business, you are a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, you want to make sure you are utilizing the processes available to you in a way that you are truly saving time and not creating another task that will take even more time to straighten out in the end.  I’ve seen how easily this can happen to business owners when they think they have everything recorded correctly only to find that their financial statements are a mess, and their tax preparer won’t prepare their return.  I’ve had lots of projects like this come through my business just in the last month, so I want to help you to avoid this costly mistake.  Listen in, as I walk you through steps you can take today to ensure your bookkeeping is on the right track.  It doesn’t matter if you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave or FreshBooks for your business finances, or if you are doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document, this episode will be helpful for you… Schedule a free consultation with me and we’ll work together to go over where you currently are in your business and where you’d like to see yourself and your business in the future: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Contact-Us Apply to join the Mastering Your Small Business Finances CEO Mastermind or the Elevate Your Bookkeeping Business GROW Mastermind group: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Mastermind Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: www.FinancialAdventure.com/5Essentials Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: www.FinancialAdventure.com/ADP Looking for an extremely beneficial online bookkeeping resource?  Join us in our Mastering Your Small Business Finances Membership where you can ask questions and get answers regarding your specific business.  We dive deeper into the topics on this podcast, provide additional resources and accountability: www.FinancialAdventure.com/MYSBF Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path is waiting for you: www.FinancialAdventure.com/StarterGuide Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Discovery Join Our Facebook Community:  www.Facebook.com/Groups/WomenBusinessOwnersUltimateDIYBookkeepingBoutique Are you a bookkeeper looking to start, grow or scale your bookkeeping business?  Join our FREE bookkeeper community here: www.FinancialAdventure.com/BookkeeperCommunity QuickBooks Online - Save 50% Your First 3 Months: www.FinancialAdventure.com/QuickBooks Show Notes:  www.FinancialAdventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit www.FinancialAdventure.com for additional information and free resources.

When you own your own business, it can be difficult and lonely at times.  You most likely feel like every single decision that you make is essential to the success of your business, but you don’t know if you are making the right decision, the wrong decision or even if it is the right time to make these decisions.  This is common among entrepreneurs and solopreneurs, so don’t feel like you are the only one with these feelings.  In fact, there are many small business owners who don’t have an advisory group or a board of directors who are available to run ideas past and help aid in the decision-making process.  It is easy to do research and gather all the necessary information, but when it comes down to decision making time, many business owners just wish they had someone they could talk to, to run ideas past and to get perspective and feedback from someone who is trusted and is capable of adding valuable insight to their challenges.  In today’s podcast episode, I am diving deep into what a mastermind is, who masterminds are best for and what you should be asking yourself before joining a mastermind.  If you are ready to proactively jump into the next year by efficiently leveling up your business, building trusted relationships, thinking bigger and getting ahead of your competition, a business mastermind may be exactly what you are looking for.  It doesn’t matter if you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave or FreshBooks for your business finances, or if you are doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document, keeping a pulse on your business finances and making smart business decisions is key to your business success.  Whether you are just getting started with your business, you are a self-employed, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, remote virtual online bookkeeper, virtual assistant or VA, listen in so that you are equipped with the knowledge you need to accomplish your goals and bring your business to the level you are aspiring… Apply to join the Mastering Your Small Business Finances CEO Mastermind or the Elevate Your Bookkeeping Business GROW Mastermind group: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Mastermind Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: www.FinancialAdventure.com/5Essentials Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: www.FinancialAdventure.com/ADP Looking for an extremely beneficial online bookkeeping resource?  Join us in our Mastering Your Small Business Finances Membership where you can ask questions and get answers regarding your specific business.  We dive deeper into the topics on this podcast, provide additional resources and accountability: www.FinancialAdventure.com/MYSBF Fill out the Contact Us form if you have a question or need help with your bookkeeping or payroll: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Contact-Us Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path is waiting for you: www.FinancialAdventure.com/StarterGuide Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Discovery Join Our Facebook Community:  www.Facebook.com/Groups/WomenBusinessOwnersUltimateDIYBookkeepingBoutique Are you a bookkeeper looking to start, grow or scale your bookkeeping business?  Join our FREE bookkeeper community here: www.FinancialAdventure.com/BookkeeperCommunity QuickBooks Online - Save 50% Your First 3 Months: www.FinancialAdventure.com/QuickBooks Show Notes:  www.FinancialAdventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit www.FinancialAdventure.com for additional information and free resources.

We are coming to the end of another year and it’s time to really look closely at your finances so that you are prepared when it comes time to file your taxes.  Today I am talking about a common misconception when it comes to figuring out what your taxable income is.  Many business owners will take a look at their business bank account and think this is the number they will need to pay their taxes on, but this is not accurate, and it causes a lot of problems when it comes down to calculating taxes owed on taxable income, especially if that bank account balance is lower than the actual net income.  This can bring about a large tax liability that you may not be ready for.  I’ve heard many times that business owners don’t think they will owe taxes because they only have about a small dollar amount in their bank account.  This in theory seems like it should be the answer, but you’ll find out today what can cause this number to not match what your true profit and loss or net income amount is.  It doesn't matter if you are using a computerized bookkeeping system such as QuickBooks, Xero, Wave or Freshbooks or a manual spreadsheet using Excel or Google Sheets, you still need to get your net income to prepare your tax return.  Whether you are just getting started with your business, you are a self-employed, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, remote virtual online bookkeeper, virtual assistant or VA, you really want to pay attention to this episode, so you don’t fall into this same belief.  I want to make sure that you are as prepared as possible for filing your taxes and you don’t find any surprises when you figure out what your tax consequences are for the year… Looking for a payroll solution for your business?  You can get an exclusive 15% discount on your payroll services when you sign up here: www.FinancialAdventure.com/ADP Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: www.FinancialAdventure.com/5Essentials Join me for my 7 Mistakes To Avoid In Your Business Workshop and learn how you can raise the level of success in your business by registering here: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Workshop Looking for an extremely beneficial online bookkeeping resource?  Join us in our Mastering Your Small Business Finances Membership where you can ask questions and get answers regarding your specific business.  We dive deeper into the topics on this podcast, provide additional resources and accountability: www.FinancialAdventure.com/MYSBF Fill out the Contact Us form if you have a question or need help with your bookkeeping or payroll: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Contact-Us Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide & Success Path is waiting for you: www.FinancialAdventure.com/StarterGuide Sign up for a virtual coffee chat to see if starting a Bookkeeping Business is right for you: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Discovery Join Our Facebook Community:  www.Facebook.com/Groups/WomenBusinessOwnersUltimateDIYBookkeepingBoutique Are you a bookkeeper looking to start, grow or scale your bookkeeping business?  Join our FREE bookkeeper community here: www.FinancialAdventure.com/BookkeeperCommunity QuickBooks Online - Save 50% Your First 3 Months: www.FinancialAdventure.com/QuickBooks Show Notes:  www.FinancialAdventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit www.FinancialAdventure.com for additional information and free resources.

When you are thinking about starting a bookkeeping business, you first want to make sure that being a bookkeeper is right for you, and you need to know what a bookkeeper does.  To do this, make sure you check out episodes 55 and 57 in this bookkeeper series.  One of the next things you start to wonder about is how much will it cost to start a bookkeeping business.  You’ve heard me talk about how bookkeeping businesses are one of the top most profitable businesses.  Part of the reason for this is the low cost and overhead it requires to run the business.  We all know that bookkeeping isn’t for everyone, but if it is for you, you know it can be profitable.  That’s why bookkeeping businesses work so well for stay-at-home parents, new moms, side-hustlers looking for additional income, individuals who want a career change, accountants and bookkeepers working for an employer, college students needing extra income and retired individuals – or individuals getting close to retirement and are looking for supplemental income.  In today’s episode, I am going to cover what the costs of starting a bookkeeping business are and just how surprised you might be about the amount of money you would need to spend to get started in a business that you will have total control of.  By starting a bookkeeping business, you get to take on as much or as little work as you want.  You get to decide how much money you’d like to make, and you are finally in control of your calendar and schedule so that you can take time off to enjoy life’s simple pleasures without any of the guilt you may have had in the past from working for an employer.  Listen in today and you’ll see just how affordable starting your own bookkeeping business is and how you can take back control of your life… BLACK FRIDAY HOLIDAY PROMOTION!!

Investing in yourself is important, and you as a business owner or potential business owner need to understand how valuable you are personally to your business.  I know your time is limited and cherished.  You may be thinking that if you are not working in your business and generating money that you aren’t being successful.  But I want you to take a step back and see just how important you, yes you, are to your business.  Imagine for a minute that you were taken completely out of your business.  How would your business continue?  Would it run smoothly without you, or would it completely stop?  When you take note of the impact you are making on your business, you may think twice about how you should be investing in yourself.  When investing in yourself, each and every one of these investments will ultimately pass through to your business.  This is the exact reason why it is so crucial for you to continue to invest in yourself to help your business flourish.  I believe it was Tony Robbins who said, “If you are not growing, you are dying.”  Let that sink in for a bit.  So, if you personally are not growing, how would you be able to lead your business to grow?  In today’s episode, I am talking about the top ways you can invest in yourself.  I’m not saying you need to spend lots of money to do this, I’ll be talking about lots of ways you can do this for free or with little monetary investment.  The goal here is to realize you need to do this and start on a path to continuously invest in yourself and continue to grow as a business owner.  Listen in so that you have a strategic plan to invest in yourself, whether you are still working your 9 to 5, you want to start your own business, you’ve already started your business, you are an entrepreneur, solopreneur, bookkeeper or virtual assistant and you want to start seeing positive returns on yourself and your business… BLACK FRIDAY PROMOTION!!

Automating your transactions is one of the major ways you can save time when you are doing your bookkeeping.  By utilizing systems such as QuickBooks Online’s bank feeds, you can definitely save a lot of time rather than manually entering each and every transaction, but the only way you will ensure you have reliable financial statements ( Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss or Income Statement ) is to make sure you have it set up correctly.  I’ve seen clients who have set up bank feeds and not follow the correct steps who look at their financial statements and wonder why nothing looks right.  This is exactly what happens when you hear the phrase garbage in / garbage out.  If you don’t take the time to set everything up correctly in the beginning, you won’t be able to rely on your financial statements.  You don’t want to find yourself putting in all the work only to have inaccurate information.  In today’s episode, I am going to walk you through how you should set up and use the bank feeds in QuickBooks Online to ensure you are using it to its fullest potential.  By setting up your bank account connection, managing bank rules, matching transactions and adding transactions correctly in QuickBooks Online, you will surely not only save time, but you will have reliable financial statements allowing you to make smart business decisions.  If you already use bank feeds or if you have been thinking about getting them set up, but are unsure how to use this function correctly, listen in to find out what your next steps should be to take full advantage of this feature, whether you are just starting your small business, you’re a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper or virtual assistant… Want To Create A Profitable Bookkeeping Business (Or Improve Your Existing Bookkeeping Business), Check Out My Elevate Your Bookkeeping Business Program: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Elevate-Waitlist Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: www.FinancialAdventure.com/5Essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide is waiting for you: www.FinancialAdventure.com/StarterGuide Fill out the Contact Us form if you are a small business owner looking for a qualified bookkeeper: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Contact-Us Sign up for a quick chat to see if starting a Virtual Online Bookkeeping Business is right for you: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Discovery Join Our Facebook Community:  www.Facebook.com/Groups/WomenBusinessOwnersUltimateDIYBookkeepingBoutique QuickBooks Online - Save 50% Your First 3 Months: www.FinancialAdventure.com/QuickBooks Show Notes:  www.FinancialAdventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit www.FinancialAdventure.com for additional information and free resources.

Cash flow refers to the money moving in and out of your business.  When you have a positive cash flow, it simply means that you have enough money to manage the payments of any money that goes out of your business.  If you have more money coming into your business than going out, you will have obtained a positive cash flow.  Many business owners think the only way they can increase their cash flow is to increase their sales or increase their net income.  This statement is partially true.  You will increase your cash flow if you see additional sales, but what if you could increase your cash flow without adding any additional sales?  If you are experiencing a tight cash flow, or maybe even a negative cash flow, there are things you can do in your business right now to help give your cash flow a boost without increasing your sales.  I understand there may be times in your business when you really rely on having enough cash flow to get by, and I know this past year has been hard for a number of small business owners.  If you are using a computerized software solution such as QuickBooks, you can easily generate a cash flow statement to see exactly where your business stands.  Today, I am going to talk about one simple tip you can do to help increase your cash flow whether you are just starting your small business, you’re a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, virtual online bookkeeper or virtual assistant.  Your cash flow will be a huge contributor to making sure your business will survive, so listen in and make sure you follow this one simple tip...

When you have a small business, it is easy to think you can handle all of the tasks that need to be completed and wear the many hats that come with owning a business.  This may be true or even possible when you are just starting your business, but as your business grows and each task starts to take more time, you will find you may not be able to handle everything yourself and may need help.  One of the first tasks small business owners look at hiring out is their bookkeeping.  It is often listed as the most frustrating aspect of owning a small business and it doesn’t matter if you are doing your bookkeeping manually or using QuickBooks, Xero or Wave to help automate your bookkeeping.  You may have felt this way and wanted to hire a bookkeeper from the very beginning of starting your business if you didn’t feel qualified or confident doing your bookkeeping, or maybe you really like keeping track of all the money coming in and going out of your business.  Either way, there are some pretty important signs you will notice in your small business which will help you make the decision of whether or not you need to hire a bookkeeper to help you master your small business finances.  Many small business owners think hiring a bookkeeper is expensive, but in reality, depending on how many transactions you have in your business, you may be able to have your bookkeeping done for as little as $100.00 per month.  Today I’m going to dive into a few of the signs you may need a bookkeeper and help you decide if and when you should start thinking about hiring a bookkeeper for your small business.  Your financials tell you a lot about your business and help guide you to make sound business decisions, but when you don’t have accurate, reliable and timely information, you and your business could start to suffer.  Listen in and find out if you may have reached or are getting close to reaching these important signs that you should hire a bookkeeper for your business… Fill out the Contact Us form if you are a small business owner looking for a qualified bookkeeper: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Contact-Us Sign up for a quick chat to see if starting a Virtual Online Bookkeeping Business is right for you: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Discovery Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: www.FinancialAdventure.com/5Essentials Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide is waiting for you: www.FinancialAdventure.com/StarterGuide If You Have Or Would Like To Start A Bookkeeping Business, Join My Founding Members: https://financialadventure.ck.page/62c2a3a963 Join Our Facebook Community:  www.facebook.com/groups/WomenBusinessOwnersUltimateDIYBookkeepingBoutique QuickBooks Online - Save 50% Your First 3 Months: www.FinancialAdventure.com/QuickBooks Show Notes:  www.FinancialAdventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit www.FinancialAdventure.com for additional information and free resources

Today we are talking about report cards.  If you have a child in school…or maybe they are distance learning, you know you need to keep tabs on how they are doing, right?  Well, when you own a business, it’s a lot like having a child.  How many times have you heard someone refer to their business as their “baby”?  I hear it a lot, and yet, when we think about how that baby is doing, there are a lot of business owners who don’t even look at their baby’s report card.  Are you asking, “What report card?”  If you knew your business had a report card, would you be looking at it on a consistent basis?  Sure, you would.  What if I told you there is a report card you can look at that gives you an enormous amount of information about how your business – or “baby” is doing.  That report card…well, it’s your financial statements.  There are two reports that I strongly recommend you take a look at…even if it is just once a month.  If you are using a software like QuickBooks to record your bookkeeping, it is easy to pull up these reports.  In today’s episode, I am going to walk you through the first of these two reports and what it is actually telling you about your business.  Is your business getting straight A’s, or is it consistently getting Ds or even worse, Fs?  If you are not looking at these reports, you will more than likely not know if you are in the A range or the F range, and without this information…are you able to make good business decisions?  Not really.  Are you a solopreneur, entrepreneur, small business owner, bookkeeper or virtual assistant?  If so, listen in and find out how you can learn more about how your “baby” is doing by understanding how to read and measure your financial statements… Grab Your FREE guide:  5 Essential Strategies For Stress-Free Bookkeeping: www.FinancialAdventure.com/5Essentials Sign up for a quick chat to see if starting a Virtual Online Bookkeeping Business is right for you: www.FinancialAdventure.com/Discovery Your FREE Online Virtual Bookkeeping Business Starter Guide is waiting for you: www.FinancialAdventure.com/StarterGuide Join Our Facebook Community:  www.facebook.com/groups/WomenBusinessOwnersUltimateDIYBookkeepingBoutique QuickBooks Online - Save 50% Your First 3 Months: www.FinancialAdventure.com/QuickBooks Show Notes:  www.FinancialAdventure.com This podcast is sponsored by Financial Adventure, LLC ~ visit www.FinancialAdventure.com for additional information and free resources
