Hey friends! Quick update: I changed the Skool name from The Profitable Bookkeeper to Start Bookkeeping From Home. When I built this community, I wanted it to be the place I wish I’d had in 2020, someone showing you the real path from “I’m curious about this” to “I have my first client.” The new name says exactly that. It’s for anyone who wants to start their own bookkeeping business from home, whether you’re just researching or you’ve already finished your training and are wondering “okay… now what?” Also, the old name overlapped with another bookkeeping training so I didn't want any confusion. What’s changing: - The name - Our link is now skool.com/startbookkeepingfromhome (the old link may stop working, so update any bookmarks) What’s NOT changing: - Everything you already have access to, including your classroom, lessons, and progress - Monday live Q&As - Me, reading every comment and personally responding 😊 And if you’ve been lurking, this is your sign to jump in! Drop a 💚 below and tell me one thing you’re working on this week. — Vanessa

Big shout out to @Taylor Turner for landing her first client Thursday and becoming ADB Certified Friday!! She has been working so hard to earn her certification and land her first client and I am so extremely proud of her and so happy to see her hard work paying off! Taylor has always been a stay at home mom and recently was working at a church preschool. She decided that now that both of her girls are in school all day she wanted to find something for herself but was worried when "all she knew was kids". This career doesn't require a college degree or years of experience. This is something anyone can learn with the right training and Taylor just proved it! Her goal is to make more than her husband and I absolutely LOVE that goal! She is already well on her way with becoming certified and landing her first client so quickly!

Which one of these sounds scarier to you? - Your business going nowhere and you don't make any money....or - You put yourself out there and actively find yourself new clients?

😮‍💨 October has been a busy month for my bookkeeping business!
