    388: The Hidden Cost Of Not Setting Boundaries Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Mompreneur, Freelancer, Accountant, Bookkeeper, Owner, Or Self-Employed

    Setting boundaries can be tricky, and once you set a boundary, it’s so important to make sure you are following through with the boundary you set.  Setting boundaries is not about threatening someone or telling them how they should behave.  Setting boundaries is all about following up with your own actions.  Boundaries are all about what you will do if someone does something that you don’t give them permission to do.  It’s about saying what you will do if this person continues to do the behavior that you do not give permission for them to do.  Let’s dive in… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You’ll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you’re going through.

    383: The Missing Mindset Skill Every Business Owner Needs Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Freelancer, Accountant, Bookkeeper Owner VA Or Self-Employed

    When you think about how far you’ve come in your business, do you feel proud of yourself?  Most business owners will answer this question by thinking not really or talking about where they need to go in their business as they dismiss the question so that they don’t feel like they are being annoying or overconfident with themselves.  It is easy to complete an accomplishment or goal and quickly start to focus on the next goal without taking the time to acknowledge your success.  Being proud of your accomplishments and giving yourself a pat on the back for doing an amazing job can be hard to do for yourself, but you wouldn’t even think twice if your child accomplished something big or a friend just nailed one of their goals, right?  In today’s podcast episode, I will help you understand why thinking about being proud of your achievements is OK to do and why it isn’t coming from a place where you are just trying to get additional attention or even being egotistical.  It is simply to prove to yourself that you have shown up, done the work, and have made a difference in the world.  That deserves a celebration, and it doesn’t matter if 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.  The accomplishments you are achieving will be different at every stage of your business, but no matter how big or small, you need to recognize your accomplishments so that you are able to strive to be better in the future.  Listen in as we talk about how taking the time to be proud of yourself for your accomplishments will make an impact on not only yourself but the success of your business as well.  It doesn’t matter if you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, or FreshBooks for your business finances or if you are doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document, this episode will be helpful for you… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You’ll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you’re going through.
