    How I Made $10,000 in One Month as a Bookkeeper

    How I made $10,000 in one month as a bookkeeper. In this video, I break down exactly how I generated $10K in 30 days with my bookkeeping business and what it really takes to build consistent income as a bookkeeper in 2026. This is not a get rich quick strategy. Entrepreneurship is stressful. There are extreme financial, mental, and emotional ups and downs. If you want to make serious money in bookkeeping, you need a rock solid personal foundation first. Discipline, emotional control, and stability matter more than skill in the beginning. I also talk about why positivity matters in business. Positive energy attracts clients. People want to work with someone who makes them feel confident, calm, and capable. Energy compounds just like money. I cannot talk about my success without honoring God. The skills, opportunities, and timing were not random. I believe every person has a unique purpose. Whether you are an employee, entrepreneur, parent, scientist, missionary, or athlete, your responsibility is to steward your gifts well. We also get practical. There are two main types of bookkeeping revenue: • Monthly recurring bookkeeping clients • Large clean up projects Both are powerful. Clean up projects often lead to long term monthly clients. Two large clean up projects alone can generate $10,000 in a single month. I share what consistency actually looks like. Daily LinkedIn outreach. Doing boring work every morning. Fighting doubt. Continuing when results are not guaranteed. Most people quit because it feels like an endless marathon. If you are wondering about timeline, here is the realistic expectation: • First 60 days just get started • Then aim for 1 to 2 new clients per month • Around 12 months is when momentum builds We also break mindset barriers. I used to think making $100K per year was the pinnacle. Then I charged $16,000 for a clean up project that took 20 hours. That changed how I viewed income forever. It is easier to make $100K as an employee. It is easier to make $1M as an entrepreneur. If you want to start a bookkeeping business, I cover: • What bookkeeping services to offer • What software and equipment you actually need • What education matters and what does not • How to market and get bookkeeping clients If you are serious about building a profitable bookkeeping business and want realistic guidance, this video will help you think bigger and act more strategically.

    5 Client Types Bookkeepers Should Never Work With

    Starting your own bookkeeping business can be exciting, but choosing the wrong clients early on can slow your growth, drain your time, and create unnecessary stress. In this video, I break down the types of clients new bookkeepers should avoid when launching a bookkeeping business and why saying no early is often the smartest move you can make. We cover why industries like restaurants and car dealerships are especially challenging for beginners due to point of sale systems, inventory tracking, cash transactions, sales tax complexity, payroll issues, and high employee turnover. I also explain why project tracking and job costing construction clients can be overwhelming without the right software systems, clean receipt workflows, and strong documentation. You will hear exactly what services I personally do not offer, including in person work, payroll, taxes, forecasting, budgeting, cash flow projections, hourly billing, and receipt management. Understanding your boundaries is critical if you want to build a scalable bookkeeping business. We also talk about the red flags to watch for in clients, such as pushy behavior, poor communication, lack of appreciation, controlling personalities, and disrespect. These are the clients that often cause the biggest problems regardless of how much they pay. Finally, I explain what I focus on instead, including recording transactions, reconciling accounts, managing accounts payable, and handling accounts receivable. These core services allow for consistency, efficiency, and predictable results. If you are starting a bookkeeping business or thinking about niching down, this video will help you avoid common mistakes and build a business that actually supports your life.

    In this video, I break down exactly how to get bookkeeping clients from scratch using a simple and repeatable system. We cover social media marketing with a proven four step process, why starting today matters, and how sharing your real story builds trust faster than polished sales pitches. I also explain how Google My Business, your website, in person networking, and everyday life connections through church, sports, and community events can consistently generate leads. You will learn how to identify strong referral partners like CPAs and why your onboarding process protects you just as much as the client. We walk through common client red flags including poor communication, unrealistic demands, and boundary issues, plus how overpromising leads to burnout and frustration. I also explain a simple pricing model based on transactions, why onboarding fees matter, and why hourly billing holds bookkeepers back. Finally, we cover the core skills every successful bookkeeper needs including organization, communication, discipline, and time management, plus the mindset required to win long term. Ruthless determination, focusing on daily inputs instead of outcomes, and staying consistent are what actually drive results. This video is for anyone who wants to start or grow a profitable bookkeeping business and land clients with confidence. *Learn more about my investment fund targeting 8% to 12% fixed returns* https://www.zipcapitalfund.com/

    How to Get Bookkeeping Clients 🚀

    In this video, I break down exactly how to get bookkeeping clients, especially if you are new and still battling imposter syndrome. You do not need to be perfect. You need a simple plan, consistent action, and a clear offer that solves a real problem for business owners. 🚀 Here is what you will learn: How to overcome imposter syndrome without waiting to feel ready How to build confidence by stacking small wins you can document Why this business is hard, and how to set expectations so you do not quit How to pick one niche and explain what you do in one sentence How to position bookkeeping as stress relief, time freedom, and peace of mind The simple bookkeeping promise that clients actually understand: categorize, reconcile, reports Why specializing helps you get clients faster and scale easier How to keep clients long term by doing a great job and delivering high quality service Small wins to celebrate and document (do these early): Become a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor Get your first Google review Launch your website Order business cards Attend your first networking meetup Book your first sales consultation Mindset shift that changes everything: Replace comparison with curiosity. Ask, what can I learn from them? Prioritize progress over perfection. There is no perfect time. There is only today. Embrace a growth mindset. Challenges are training, not proof you are not good enough. Real talk: this is going to be hard. If this were easy, everyone would do it. It is way better than being a W2 staff accountant, but it is only better if you succeed. Most people fail because they underestimate the difficulty and quit too early. In this video, I show you how to go into it with the right expectations, so you stay in the game long enough to win. My biggest advice for getting clients in the beginning: Pick one niche, build a simple offer, and explain how you help. Business owners do not buy bookkeeping. They buy relief. They buy clarity. They buy getting their time back. If you want my help building your niche offer and landing your first clients, drop a comment with the word CLIENTS and tell me what industry you want to work with. 🚀 #bookkeeping #bookkeepingbusiness #quickbooks #quickbooksonline #accounting #smallbusiness #entrepreneur #freelancebookkeeper #bookkeepingclients #howtogetclients *Learn more about my investment fund targeting 8% to 12% fixed returns* https://www.zipcapitalfund.com/
