I’ve been thinking that I’d love to see some training videos made that are niche specific. For example, discussing things that are important to know about construction clients, real estate clients, cafes/restaurants, etc. and how to manage them effectively. This would be really helpful for me at least. Just wanted to throw the idea out there 😊

(a.k.a. How to Not Get Left in the Digital Dust) Repeat after me: Your social profiles are the new business cards. Your content is your new website. Don’t get it twisted—websites still matter. But today’s buyers? They hit your social first, then your website. (Yes, Facebook counts. A lot.) If I were starting from scratch right now, I’d build one integrated ecosystem that creates, sells, and scales in one motion: ✔ Get crystal clear on WHO I want to work with ✔ Map out HOW to reach them ✔ Focus, follow through, and stop “starting over” every week Here’s why this works: ✔ Modern Credibility - People don’t search your website first—they stalk your socials. No content = no credibility. It’s the 2026 version of “here’s my business card.” ✔ Free Lead Generation - Great content brings prospects to YOU. They consume your posts → build trust → reach out. Every post becomes a billboard that works for you 24/7. ✔ Sales on Demand -Turn every question, objection, and “can you explain that again?” into a video on your feed. You stop repeating yourself, and your content becomes your sales assistant. This is the future. One ecosystem. One strategy. One machine. Not marketing over here, content over there, sales scrambling somewhere else. Welcome to the new era. Let’s DO this! ✔Join us Friday, December 5 at 4pm PST FREE Webinar: How to Not Get Left in the Digital Dust (check the Skool calendar for details) https://www.skool.com/live/36P79VdHDts

Jan* (not her real name) has definitely been a star student. With one HUGE exception she never properly laid her foundation for her business. Jan was so excited to jump in and get started (she wanted results fast after all) that she froze when her first prospect called. Could she really do this? In short the answer is YES! Luckily she was able to jump into Office Hours and get pulled away for the ledge. And yes she called the prospect back, knew what to say and got the client! YAY!

At this point most of you probably understand the theory behind selecting a niche. Simply stated it helps you to be clear on who you are serving. As you begin to work with your niche you’ll inevitably begin to see patterns or repeated challenges that they face. If you were looking at Contractor’s (the construction type) you may find that because they work from their vehicle or on job sites that their pain point is having to spend their FREE TIME (weekends, holidays and family time) catching up on their books. A common issue you may find to be true for them is that they simply want to buy back their time. For Real Estate professionals you may find that cash flow is the issue. Initially use your intuition (picture yourself in their shoes) and ask yourself what are their 3 biggest bookkeeping challenges and what solution can you offer. We ran one of our most successful marketing campaigns at the beginning of this summer specifically targeting HVAC companies. We did it over the summer because that is when they are their BUSIEST. What could we offer? The ability to buy back their time!!!! Total Win! By having our firm (or yours) take care of reconciliations and monthly reports it free’d up their internal team to focus on billing. Since we were doing the reconciliations this saved them on payroll and gave them financials in a timely manner so they could make quick decisions about their business. Let AI help you by asking “What are 3 things I can do as a bookkeeper to help [niche].?” If nothing else the response will expand your thinking.
