    The 6 Secrets to a Simple, Scalable Bookkeeping Biz

    The 6 Secrets to a Simple, Scalable Bookkeeping Biz

    Welcome to day one of my free four-day live virtual event, Six Secrets to Starting a Simple, Scalable Bookkeeping Business! 
    For day one, we're going to briefly cover some housekeeping items for the whole series, then we're going to uncover the six secrets to a simple, scalable bookkeeping business. 
    This may seem like bad marketing. I’ve had people tell me over and over to restructure the way that these days are set up, because I'm giving you all the goodies and all the secrets on day one, but that's because I am not afraid of you hearing it all today. (Plus, I love to break the rules of marketing.)
    No matter what your experience level is—whether you’re currently an accountant, have a college degree in accounting, or are just now wondering if bookkeeping could be a good path for you, my courses Become a Bookkeeper (BABs) and Life by the Books (LIBBY) are waiting for you!
    You don’t need a CPA license. You don’t need a college degree. Everything you need is waiting for you in BABs and LIBBY…including the key to achieving these six secrets.

    The Corporate Accounting Escape Plan: An In-Depth Interview by Blair Lee

    The Corporate Accounting Escape Plan: An In-Depth Interview by Blair Lee

    Corporate accounting is a beast of a career…and I quickly got to the point where I had to make my escape.
    Not because I wasn’t good at the work. I was.
    Not because I didn’t like my bosses and coworkers. I did.
    But because the 9-5 life just did NOT match up with the life I dreamed of for myself.
    The story of my escape is a long and complicated one, but I love sharing it. I love to let others know exactly what’s possible…that even when you’ve only ever pictured one path for yourself, there are others out there.
    And YOU get to choose which one you want to live.

    The Missing Piece Part III: What Happens If You Don't Know You Can Do the Work

    The Missing Piece Part III: What Happens If You Don't Know You Can Do the Work

    Welcome to Part 3 of my new miniseries all about my program, Become a Bookkeeper, and the three core pieces of its curriculum!
    What happens when you don’t know if you can do the work of bookkeeping?
    You shy away from talking about what you do. You push away potential clients. You hold yourself back. Every time you get amazing opportunities, you push them away out of fear…
    But what happens when you’ve had the opportunity to test your knowledge and check your work? What happens when you know that you know that you KNOW what you’re doing?
    Well…you’re unstoppable.
    That’s why in the third section of Become a Bookkeeper, “Apply,” I give you the chance to apply what you’ve learned for yourself in order to prove that you’re ready to start taking on clients! Let’s talk about how “Apply” fills the final missing piece in your bookkeeping ability!

    The Missing Piece Part II: What Happens When You Don't Have Confidence in Your Ability

    The Missing Piece Part II: What Happens When You Don't Have Confidence in Your Ability

    Welcome to Part 2 of my new miniseries all about my program, Become a Bookkeeper, and the three core pieces of its curriculum!
    When you are missing any piece of essential knowledge about bookkeeping, there are always consequences…some small, some catastrophic. Each of the sections in Become a Bookkeeper were designed to fill in every “missing piece” of the bookkeeping puzzle…whether that be how to do the job, what actually applying those principles looks like, or practice with doing it yourself.
    Today, we’re going to discuss what happens when you have the technical skills to do the job of bookkeeping, but you haven’t been able to get a glimpse of what the whole picture is. No one seems willing to mentor you, so how are you supposed to see what the process looks like before you have to do it yourself?
    The answer? The Shadow section of Become a Bookkeeper!

Must Listen!

The Profits + Prosecco podcast is full of knowledge, inspiration, and insight. Katie is a relatable, authentic coach. I love that Katie provides different options for everything and doesn’t force you to think or do something in one particular way. She encourages you to create and live the life you want while doing what feels right for you, on your own timing. Katie is a piece of treasure that deserves to be shared with all entrepreneurs and bookkeepers!
