Growing up, I had a cousin who struggled with her weight for as long as I can remember. The reasons could be attributed to a life of inactivity and poor eating habits. From the outside it was somewhat obvious what needed to be changed. After high school graduation and going off to college, I didn’t see my cousin for several years and when we did finally reconnect I was sounded to see her new tiny frame. (Seriously I almost didn't recognize her) When asked what she had done. She simply replied - "I made the choice, created a plan and stuck to the plan. I simply dedicated an hour every day to meal planning and exercise. I committed to myself for a year." No doubt her dedication and commitment on a daily basis paid off and I think this story relates so well to so many new bookkeepers that I talk to. They look around themselves and feel at a loss, not knowing what to do or where to start or they make sporadic inconsistent efforts, and then become frustrated when they receive no results. The key to building a successful bookkeeping practice or any business is consistent effort. It's really that simple. Commit to just one hour a day. Guard it fiercely. That is your dedicated time to working ON your business. Now see what happens when you stick to it for 30, 60 or 90 days. Need ideas on what to do or where to start?!? Check out our BOOKKEEPER’s GROWTH GAME (available in the Skool classroom) or schedule a strategy session with me HERE where we will map out what your next 30, 60 or 90 days should look like. As an added Bonus along with your 90 day action plan we'll also provide you with a list of 100 prequalified small business leads.

Good morning y'all! I hope everyone had a productive weekend. So far, the following points have been earned. Kerrie - 23 Denise - 0 We're off to a slow start, but I know you can pick up the pace! Challenge yourself this week and take the lead from Kerrie!

What do you do if a potential client asks for references and you only have one. I need to ask permission to give her number to a stranger as she doesn't have a business number. But I can't think of any one else I could use.

Some of the IPA's listed are dm'ing potential clients. Is there a way to do this through our FB business pages, or do we need to do it through our personal pages and possibly direct them to our business page through the dm?

I have a call with potentially my first paying client Monday morning. If I get her, there is potential to gain her son and her daughter so that would be 2 more. I can't wait for Monday now. I know she will need some cleanup work for last year as her current bookkeeper hasn't finished then and closed them so she can get here taxes done. I am hoping I can get a connection with her cpa. I will let you know how it goes Monday morning.
