I'm guessing because it's tax day and they're over-loaded, is anyone else having QBO/Intuit issues? My internet is great and I can access everything else but it seems like any/all QBO/Intuit sites just give me an error. I guess I'll try working on my clients tomorrow. 😞

I missed the classroom session today. I was looking for a little encouragement, lol. I did the 18-point inspection on a potential client with QBO Essentials and five connected accounts (one is payroll, one is operations) that have not been reconciled EVER! I quoted him my monthly ongoing rate, and he likes it, but that "rate x no. of months x difficulty" will be an enormous quote for cleanup and catch-up. I don't know what to do. Will he ghost me when he hears my price, or even worse, laugh at me? I'm nervous. Does anyone have any advice?

Most new bookkeepers don’t fail because they can’t do bookkeeping. They fail because they struggle with something and then they halt all progress & momentum. Let's focus on self doubt for today (and if it doesn't apply to you - this may be worth a read it may apply to someone you know) You might be thinking:• “What if I mess something up?”• “What if the client asks something I don’t know?”• “What if I’m not ready yet?” Here’s the truth most experienced bookkeepers won’t tell you: No one feels 100% ready when they start. Every confident bookkeeper you see today once asked questions, double-checked transactions five times, and worried they were doing it wrong. Confidence doesn’t come before experience. Confidence comes because of experience. Every reconciliation you complete Every client question you research Every messy set of books you clean up …is building the confidence you’re looking for. So if you're new here, remember this: You don’t need to know everything. You just need to be willing to learn, stay curious, and keep showing up. That’s how real bookkeeping careers are built. 👇 Tell me in the comments: What’s one thing about bookkeeping that still makes you nervous?

I'm finally done with week 6 completing a couple different marketing methods. I used JustDeliverIt for the first time last week but still no bites, only about 150 of the list of 850 numbers were able to go through 😮‍💨. I also sent out a few hundred emails this week, especially to the phone numbers that didn't get through.
