About this episode

When you have a business, you most likely have a vision for your business.  If you are like many business owners, you think about your business the majority of your time.  You think about the products and services you offer or want to offer, you think about your ideal client, you think about how much money you want to make, and you think about how you want to grow your business.  So why does it seem like it is such a challenging process to take all of these thoughts and put them into a written business plan?  In today’s podcast episode, I will help you take some simple steps so that you can create a business plan that will solidify your ideas and keep you on track to create the successful business you’ve been spending so much time thinking about.  Getting everything out of your head and on paper will not only help you make sure you are taking action on all your ideas, but it will help you to see where you may need to make improvements within your business.  Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, listen in and make now the time that you finally take the step to write your business plan so you can stop thinking that it is just another task you should be doing that you are unsure about how to get started, afraid of doing it wrong, or anxious about what you need to include.  These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, or FreshBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document…

Schedule a free consultation, and we’ll work together to dive into where you’d like to see yourself and your business in the future.  We’ll create a laser-focused plan, including which action steps you need to take to get started on the path to success:
