A quickie - free office hours reminder!


Hey Reader,

A quick reminder that if you have questions, I'm opening the doors to office hours! Here are the details:

  • When: Wednesday 9th October, 10AM - 1PM PT (time zone calculator for other time zones)
  • Where: Voxer
  • What: Bring anything you want to Voxer. I'll do my best, and I'll let you know if it's something that we can't really cover over Voxer. You'd be surprised how much we can do with voice messages and text.
  • Why: Win-win - I get insight into what's worrying or confusing you, and you get my whole-hearted support.

No idea what to ask? Here are some ideas:

  • I’ve got this offer that I’ve been wanting to sell, but every time I try to launch it, I find more things I need to tweak. What is keeping me from launching?
  • I’m in *this phase of my business* and I’m struggling to make sure everyone is getting paid on time. My biggest problem is that I feel like I’m constantly reacting to overdue notices. What can I do to help manage my cash flow?
  • I know I need support with my business finances, but I’m not sure if I need/can afford a bookkeeper/accountant/tax preparer. This is what I need: x, y, z. Help!
  • I know I should be thinking about my future, but we’re living day to day, month to month at home, and I’m not sure how to look into my future with my partner. What are some things we could talk about? What can we do to help make sure those conversations are constructive?
  • I have x, y and z in debt and I have $____ to allocate to it each month. How should I allocate it each month?

Or you can start with a hello, and we can take it from there!

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Hey Reader, This morning I realized there are only 48 days left in the year. Can you believe it? It crept up on me. It feels like a good moment to pause and reflect. It doesn't have to be a huge pause, mind you. It can just be a little pause to recalibrate. It's so easy to get swept up in the busy-ness of the season. And global politics don't help. It's easy to feel like you're riding the waves in someone else's boat. It's easy to forget where we have influence. So I'm practicing remembering...

Hi Reader When I started my bookkeeping practice in 2020, a business coach friend asked what the top 3 things I wanted from it were. The only one I can remember with certainty was ‘agency,’ because that’s the one that got me a funny look. Mind you, this was a couple of years after I left teaching. I was on the tail end of burnout, and all I could think about was being able to pee whenever I wanted to, never mind all the bigger things I had wanted to experience and create with my students....

Hey Reader, So it might not surprise you to learn that I could nerd out about data all day. Man, I love talking theory and playing with concepts. But I'm not going to do that to you! Instead, I'm going to try to keep it to the practical stuff, because data can really help us get where we want to go. I was in a couple of conversations last week about goals. In my world, it seems to be that time of year. We're in the last fiscal quarter, planners for 2025 are launching, and people are looking...
