Are you someone who gets intimidated by finances in your business, and you just are not sure where in the world to start? Well, I am bringing a very requested topic to you all on bookkeeping 101. I have our friend Olivia with us today and we’re going to talk about the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant, a few of Olivia’s top bookkeeping and finance practices she recommends for entrepreneurs (and yes, that does include how to pay yourself and how much to pay for taxes), the difference between sales and profit, and the term “knowing your numbers” because that’s something that gets thrown around a lot. Get ready, because you are going to walk away with some super tangible steps from this short, yet packed episode!

 

You are going to learn all about: 

 

• The difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant 
• Olivia's top bookkeeping and finance practices 
• How to pay yourself 
• The first steps to take when figuring out taxes 
• The difference between sales and profit 
• What it means to know your numbers 
• Olivia's bookkeeping software recommendations 
• The reports we should all be looking at routinely

Let me be clear that this is not an episode where I am pitching one of my programs to you, so I wanted to preface with that. By all means if you relate to my teaching style, this episode hits home for you, and you know that one of my educational offerings could potentially help you, then I’d love nothing more than to get to know you. But, truthfully, I wanted to talk about this topic on an episode because every educator or service provider pushes the narrative that you need to invest. It can be hard to drown out the noise.

 

Think about that VA always pushing their Pinterest services, or the educator constantly promoting their offers with a sense of urgency and scarcity. You hear enough of that elsewhere, so that’s not what this episode is.

 

This episode is to educate you on all the things to consider when it comes to the many educational courses, programs, products, free trainings, or even the ways you can outsource in your business.

 

So objectively, here's what you will learn in this episode:

+ what investing actually means (time, energy, and money)+ when it's actually a good time to invest in your business+ how to determine whether an investment is worth it+ what to prioritize investing in+ mistakes that you can avoid+ how to actually prioritize your investments as well (because I know a majority of you have some kind of course, just gathering dust in your inbox - I’ve done it too)

Are you looking to streamline your client processes and give them an incredible experience? Well friend, we are talking about how to maximize Dubsado to save you time, energy, and overwhelm, all while giving your clients a fabulous journey. I’ve used Dubsado in my own business for over 2 years after switching over from HoneyBook, and I absolutely love it. 

 

If you know anything about Honeybook, you know it’s basically the only CRM that’s recommended for photographers, but I truly feel Dubsado is so much more powerful. It has many more implementations you can use, and the automations are incredible! Now, although I could talk to you about this myself, I’ve decided to bring on Meg Cooper to tell you about all the amazing things Dubsado can do for your photography business.

 

In this episode, we cover:

 

• Meg’s business journey
• What Dubsado is how you can use it to its fullest potential
• How to go from dreadfully managing client projects to being excited about having new inquiries
• The biggest differences between Dubsado and HoneyBook
• The first thing you should automate when using Dubsado
• Small ways to get systems set up with an entry-level workflow and still save time
• Meg’s favorite actions and triggers to use
• Things to watch out for when setting up workflows to actions and triggers
• How to best personalize your emails

Have you been struggling with organization in your photography business? In today’s episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite organization tools, Notion, and how you can use it in your business. I know organization can be a foreign thing to most of us creative entrepreneurs, and for me, since I was a nurse, organization has always been ingrained in me since that time, but Notion has made my entrepreneurship journey so much more organized and much more fun too! If you don’t know this about me already, aesthetics are equally as important to me as functionality, and Notion, in my opinion, is visually appealing. Another bonus is that it’s free! Notion can be quite overwhelming at first to understand the ins and outs, but hopefully, this episode will give you guidance on how you can use it in your photography business. 

 

And after learning about Notion, if you decide you want this kind of organization in your own business, just know I released my first Notion template for creative entrepreneurs. My hope for this template is that it makes organization a bit easier in your business to save you time. You can also use the special discount code I created just for my podcast listeners LAUNCH20 until May 26th! 

 

Now let’s get into the biggest ways I use Notion in my business!

 

In this episode, I am sharing the different ways to use Notion in your business by:  

• Mapping out your goals 
• Brain-dumping thoughts, ideas, and passion projects 
• Hosting your location and vendor list databases
• Having an editing list with due dates and a timeline 
• Hosting your marketing plan and tasks needing to be completed 
• Making a wish list for your purchases 
• Tracking your habits
