You Got This!
I see so many bookkeepers out there that have a lack of confidence in not only themselves, but their ability to do the work that they have either trained for years to do or are still learning. If someone is still learning something, then that is an opportunity to take and absorb information from every opportunity given. Remember, that there is so much to learn within our field that you will never learn everything there is to know before you begin. Now, I am not saying that you should go into the field blind! I fully expect that anyone who begins a bookkeeping business should have an understanding of accounting and bookkeeping before you begin your business.
But the understanding of bookkeeping and the confidence of completing everything from beginning to end are two separate things altogether.Do not let the fear of not knowing what you are doing stop you from going out there and gaining that first client. You have gone through the process of learning your software, whether that software is Xero or Quickbooks, or even both! You have practiced in the demo company to gain knowledge of how each of these platforms work. You are ready to take on a real client. Don’t over think the process. You can do this.
The one thing that you may lack is that ability to find those clients. You are unsure of where to find them. You have been out there searching in different places throughout Facebook and making connections on LinkedIn. But you just can’t seem to find any clients. It is not impossible! You might need a little help, because it is not always as easy as it seems. That is where I come in. I can help you to find those clients, and show you some little tricks that I have learned along the way. I can give you some pointers on how to connect with the right kind of people or send the right emails to connect with your perfect clients. Regardless of what your needs, in the end, just remember, keep your chin up, be confident, because YOU GOT THIS!
I started my mentoring program because when I first started back in my bookkeeping business again almost two years ago, I was approached by numerous coaches and mentors who were offering programs that were extremely high priced. Now, when I say extremely high priced, I mean several thousand dollars for many of their programs. I often felt a feeling of defeat, because I had just left my job and the pandemic hit that next month, and I was delving into a world that was so very different from the previous time when I had made my business back in the 90’s! This was virtual, and there was a pandemic on top of that. So, when I recognized the need for mentorship amongst the bookkeeping community, but at a price point that was not in the thousands of dollars, and one that did not require contracts and commitments, I decided that was what I would offer.
If you are interested in scheduling a consultation to discuss how I can help you with my very fairly priced mentoring program for bookkeepers, and how it could fit for you and your needs.
