  Hello! Welcome to the Right on Time Podcast!      I am chatting with Carol Zacharias, owner of Four Zen Bookkeeping. We are talking about her journey growing a business around money.    She started like so many of us do. Carol wanted freedom, and Covid-19 actually gave her the space to create it. She was a teacher that the pandemic really rocked. So she took a step back and asked herself “what can I do with the skill sets I have?”.      That is when he landed on bookkeeping. Her first bachelor’s degree was in accounting and she dove in.      Her strategy was where most of us begin: friends and family that grew into clients, which grew into hiring her first employee. She has amazing insight into growing her business and how you might do that too. Including the very necessary topic of how do you balance everything.      We also chat about kids and how it’s wonderful to get them involved – love that freedom as a parent. You’ll see some of the real real in this episode and it brings me so much joy. Can’t wait to see what you think…In this latest podcast episode, you’ll discover:     Listen below  …and discover how to manage your time and money as an entrepreneur   Remember to subscribe on iTunes and Stitcher!       Mentioned in this Episode:     The Fresh Start Workbook    Four Zen Bookkeeping

It’s been a year of incredible interviews, eye-opening conversations, and getting to hang out with you here every single week. I’ve loved every second. At the end, I have some big podcast news so be sure to stay tuned.    As I was preparing for this episode, I had several ideas and topics that came to mind. However, I’ve decided that I really want to talk with you all about what is happening here, what we are doing, and what I’ve been thinking through and reflecting on.    Many of my colleagues and fellow small business owners are reevaluating what exactly they want to do in this next season.    We also have a lot of rethinking and redesigning going on here. My team and I are working very closely together to bring back live experiences around How to Clone Yourself. Which is something we haven’t done in a long time, but we are so very excited about.    With this redesign we are doing, I’ve been reflecting on what we are doing and how we are doing it.    We are digging into that here in this episode. Be sure to grab a pen cause I have some amazing quotes headed your way.    Once you listen, be sure to let me know your thoughts, your 2024 plans, and how you’re going to put into action what we talk about here.    IN THIS EPISODE:   Finding YOUR focus    Getting in alignment with yourself and your motivations    Scenario planning to escape the what-ifs    Keeping it simple to get what you want to be      Thank you so much for listening and being on this podcast journey with us.

We would love to hear from you.
