If you've been putting off reaching out to your first (or next) client because you don't know what to say — this is for you. It's simple: 50 direct asks. Real scripts for exactly what to say at every step, from the first message to landing the client. Complete all 50 and if you still haven't landed a client, I'll personally review your approach with you 1:1 — for free. It's running live in its own category so you can watch it happen in real time — daily tallies, real responses people are getting, and a place to figure out what to say the second someone shows interest. 👉 Head to the First Client Sprint category at the top to check it out and jump in. Who's ready to make their first ask this week?

Hi, I'm Vanessa — certified bookkeeper, QuickBooks ProAdvisor, and mom of 2. In 2020 I went from zero to $1,200/month in 45 days doing online bookkeeping from home. I still have those clients today — 6 years later. Now I make $2,500/month working a few days a month around my kids. One of the best parts of this career is you can make it as big or as small as you want. You control your income by how many clients you want to have. I choose to keep mine low while my kids are young. I built this community because I know how much I needed someone to just show me the real path when I was starting out. That's what this is. Here's exactly where to start: 👉 Head to the Classroom tab and start with "Start Here" — it's a free 5-lesson series that will take you from "I'm curious about this" to "I know exactly what my next step is." Go in order. Don't skip ahead. If you're ready to go deeper — the Start: Your Bookkeeping Business classroom has the full A-Z curriculum covering setup, tools, getting clients, onboarding, running your books, and growing your business. Before you do anything else — introduce yourself below 👇 Tell us: - Your name and where you're from - What brought you here - Where you are right now: A) Just researching B) Learning and getting ready C) Actively looking for my first client D) Already have a client And drop one thing you're stuck on or one question you have. I read every single comment and I will personally respond. You don't have to figure this out alone. That's why this community exists. See you in the classroom — and I'll see you Monday at the live Q&A. 💚 — Vanessa
