About this episode

Understanding your numbers and keeping up to date on your finances is key to the success of your business.  When you actively keep a pulse on your business finances, you will certainly make better business decisions.  If you are thinking that you are just not a numbers person, you’re not good when it comes to numbers or math, or you are afraid to make a mistake, I want to help you overcome these fears.  I get it, and I know how numbers or finances are not everybody’s strength or zone of genius.  I will admit, however, that I love working with numbers, and I’ve never been afraid of them, but I have other areas in my business that I don’t have those same strong strengths in, and I struggle in these areas much like I am sure you struggle with your finances, so I totally understand where you are coming from.  In today’s podcast episode, I am going to help you overcome your fear of numbers and how you can let them help you succeed in your business.  I’ll have solutions for what you can do if you think numbers and finances are boring or time-consuming as well.  It’s okay to have these thoughts or fears, but you and I both know that when you own your own business, there are things you need to do for your business to make an impact not only on your bottom line or your income, but for your business to succeed in other areas as well.  It’s time for you to break these fears or habits that may be holding you back and start this new year off in the right direction.  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 accountant, a virtual assistant or VA, or other professional; you can overcome these obstacles so that you can enjoy, yes, I said enjoy, your business and your business finances.  If you are looking back at the last year and are thinking about how far behind your bookkeeping or finances are, and just how much work you need to do to catch up on your bookkeeping to get ready for the upcoming tax deadline, listen in I promise I have some solutions for you…
