Today’s chat with Melissa Miller Ferguson of Bookkeeping for Good was equal parts wisdom, laughter, and truth bombs. 💥 From owning her story to automating her workflow, Melissa reminded us that success isn’t about degrees — it’s about drive, discernment, and doing the work you love. 💼✨

Your “lack” is your leverage. Melissa’s superpower? No accounting degree — just 20 years of QBO chops, servant leadership, and results. Clients care about outcomes, not pedigrees. 💪🧠✨

Niche or it gets messy. Ideal clients = happier you. Say no to energy vampires, price hagglers, and “must be on-site, not QBO” chaos. Protect your team, your scope, and your sanity. 🚫🧾🛡️

Automate the boring stuff. From Google scripts that pre-qualify leads to RightTool gems in QBO — small automations → big ROI (and time back for conferences like AFWA Women Who Count!). 🤖📬⏱️
