About this episode

Now that we are finding ourselves in the fourth quarter of the year, it’s time to start wrapping up this year on a high note, and I’m here to guide you through the essential steps you should be taking in this last quarter.  If you are anything like me, these last three months of the year go by so quickly, and before I know it, January is here, the holidays are over, and it is back to business as usual again.  I try really hard to be as prepared as I possibly can be between both my personal life and my business during this busy time of the year, which is why I am covering what you should be doing in this fourth quarter early so that you can easily prepare for the end of the year.  If you want to go into the holiday season with less stress and overwhelm this year, being prepared in your business will be extremely important.  Being proactive will allow you to spend that extra time with your family and friends without feeling guilty about not working in your business.  In today’s episode, I am walking you through some of the main items you should be thinking about during this last quarter of the year.  I’m helping you be proactive and stay on track so that you are able to not only close out your business this year with less stress but you’ll also be able to enjoy your holidays and not be stuck at the office crunching numbers.  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, let’s make this the year that you are proactive in this fourth quarter so that you can truly integrate balance between your business and being at home with your family and friends this holiday season…
