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!

Thank you all so much for joining and for your interest in learning the wonderful career of online bookkeeping. It is something very near and dear to my heart because not only is the work super fulfilling, it has opened up a whole new lifestyle for our family. When I first found online bookkeeping in 2020 we were a family in need of two incomes but we also valued me being home with the kids and recognized not only how important it was for our kids but how overall everything just ran so much smoother in our household with me being home. So enter the question MILLIONS of moms out there are asking "How do I make money from home?!" I came across online bookkeeping on accident while trying to help my mom with her QuickBooks. I realized this was a career opportunity that sounded too good to be true! But I'm here to tell you that after being a certified online bookkeeper for over 6 years now, it is absolutely true! So now I have started to share my experience with other moms so they can also have both a fulfilling career and a steady hold house. I get to be the mom and wife I want to be while also being a successful online business owner! I hope you are able to do that too and that this Skool helps get you there!

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! I am so excited to say that I have had 7 businesses set up discovery calls with me in the last two weeks and two signed this morning and paid their first half of the cleaning up work! 🥳 Where is everyone else at on the First Client Sprint? A) I need help! 😫 B) Doing great! 😄
