Does Melissa's business only do Bookkeeping? I'm toying with the idea of getting tax certifications and eventually adding that service. I understand it's beyond the scope of this course, but I'm wondering what most people here are doing. I'm just getting started either way.

Got my quote and it was over $700. Does that sound right...seems high to me. Thank you!

Was thinking a LOT about this topic this weekend. Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of the Preferred Partnership Program is the continues support. You have UNLIMITED ACCESS to myself and my team for 1-on-1's, check-in calls and to get YOUR specific questions answered. That combined with the accountability of weekly check-in calls is where the magic comes together. We have past Grads that have gone through the program once and have gone onto to build their own successful firms (and they still KNOW that they can reach out to us at anytime for support. And we have others that repeat the PREFERRED PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM multiple times (you never pay more than once!) Owning a business is fun and incredibly exciting. Don't underestimate how scary doing something new can be. We are here to support you in achieving your goals 100%. Let's do this thing! For information on our current Preferred Partnership Cohort contact our Student Support Specialist, Christopher (christopher@busybeeadvisors.com) or call (916)265-7202 to schedule an appointment https://calendly.com/christopher-busybeeadvisors/1-hour-bookkeeper-strategy-session

I was up yesterday at 5:00am. Had a 1-on-1 coaching call at 6. (He's East Coast and 9 am EST was the only time he could do it - plus he said he desperately needed to talk to me). We'll call him Joe. As soon as we get on the call Joe tells me the program is terrible (now keep in mind he gain 6 clients during the 12 week self study program and another 11 during the Preferred Partners Program - 17 new clients). Yes everything with his (let me say it again 17 clients in less than 6 months) was fine. He really liked his clients. The income was great. He is now consistently bringing in $6500 after expenses and it's even better because his wife was able to leave her P/T job and is now home with their kiddos (which saves then an additional $1800 per month) Plus she's super happy - so all good there. He feel confident in his skills both as a bookkeeper and his ability to get new client. Double win there! Seriously at this point I was at a loss - what was the real problem. So I asked. He tells me he can't sleep. It's now 6:30am and ALL I can think about is sleep so that felt a bit ironic to me. Excitement? No Worry? No Here's what he said, "as soon as I lay down my head fills with all of these thoughts and ideas." Yep I get that! So here's the solution - keep a notebook & pen by your bed. Write all the ideas, worries & concerns down. Then in the morning revisit the list. What items do you need to take action on? Put a plan in place - and move on! Oh and I talked to Joe this morning (again at 6) - Thank you! I slept great last night! While there are so many benefits we reap as entrepreneurs when we embrace our role it can sometimes feel overwhelming. Make a list and create a plan. You'll be surprised at how well such a simple trick works!

Another great call! I love hearing about your successes and getting to answer your questions. @Kellye Brown here's the information for inviting the 1 Hour Bookkeeper Society (Facebook page). Our firm is currently in growth mode - if you know of any retiring tax pros or bookkeepers let us know!
