I'm super excited to share that this week, I'll be doing something I haven't done in a while: hosting a live training! I'll be going live twice this week to talk about something that can truly change everything for your bookkeeping business: getting your first five clients. If you feel competent in your work and/or have completed my program BABs, but you haven't quite gotten started on client acquisition, then this topic will light a fire under you. We're going to discuss where to find your first five clients, as well as what to do and what not to do in order to add them to your roster. So if you're stuck in analysis paralysis or overwhelm—or maybe just need that kick in the butt to get started—then you're going to want to sign up for one of these trainings. Want all the details? Listen to this episode, then head to katieferro.com/firstfive to sign up!

If you've been around for a while, you've met the amazing Katie Fleming before. She's been my business coach for quite some time, and she supported me through building my own bookkeeping business…and it was my honor to help coach her through starting hers!

Now a BABs alum, Katie is back to share what planted the idea of starting her own bookkeeping business, what she needed in order to feel truly ready, and how things have absolutely EXPLODED (in the best way) ever since!

Buckle up—this is a wild ride!

There's a question many of you are asking yourself right now…

"Do I have what it takes?"

Do you have the skills, the knowledge, the education, the support, etc. to actually start your own bookkeeping business…or do you still have gaps you need to close?

Here's my rule of thumb: if you think you have a gap, then you do.

Even if you do have the skills, and this is just imposter syndrome whispering in your ear. Even if you know what you're doing. Even if you're equipped with everything you need…

If you THINK you have a gap, then you do. Because when you think you have a gap, your confidence plummets…and potential clients can feel that energy.

If you're not sold on yourself, you can't sell anyone else on you, either. So if you think you have a gap, you either need to close it or prove to yourself that it isn't there…and I've got a couple ways for you to do it.

So. Let me take a guess…

You're here because you want freedom, but you need a foundation. You're dreaming of a simple, flexible business, but you have to build it the right way. You don't want to hustle. You don't want to spend all day marketing. You don't want to be tied to your desk or miss your life or do complicated work that drains you.

You want space. You want time. You want flexibility, autonomy, and a steady income. You want a business that supports your life, not one that takes it over.

Bookkeeping is the business model that you've been looking for. And you must have an idea of that already, because…well, you're here, aren't you?

But maybe you're stuck.

Maybe you're scared.

Maybe you doubt your skills.

Maybe you just need a little help getting the confidence you need to take the leap…

And I have just the thing.

We've had a lot of newcomers to the podcast lately, so in case you're unfamiliar…

Hi, I'm Katie Ferro, licensed CPA, mom of three, and the face behind Profits & Prosecco. And this is the story of how I went from an unplanned corporate exit to becoming a stay-at-home mom, building a part-time bookkeeping business that surpassed my previous tax manager's salary, and working only the hours I used to commute…all while raising three babies.

My journey to my bookkeeping business is not perfect, but it's honest—and I hope that in telling it, if you are somewhere along this path yourself, I can show you what's possible for you, even if things don't feel clear right now.

They didn't feel clear—or even possible—to me at the beginning, either. But here I am…and if you'll allow me, I'd love to help you get to this place, too.

This is my story. What do you want yours to be?

A couple weeks back, I recorded a podcast episode via Instagram live. Afterward, I stuck around for a few minutes to answer questions…

But those "few minutes" turned into over an hour, because you all just kept asking really amazing questions—questions with really important answers!

So rather than let those questions disappear into the Instagram live void, I thought…why not turn them into a podcast episode?

In fact, why not make them into TWO?

If you haven't yet, go back and binge through Episodes 216 and 217…then come back for Part 2 of the Profits & Prosecco Q&A session!

Is bookkeeping as a profession becoming obsolete?

Short answer: no.

Long answer: no, because there are still far too many small errors that are easily done and easily missed when you don't know what you're doing.

Whether you're a bookkeeper whose skills aren't quite up to snuff or a business owner trying to do your own books, I want you to listen to the ten errors I talk about in this episode…and if any of them sound unfamiliar or you don't understand what I'm talking about, that means you need to fill in your knowledge gaps…or hire a bookkeeper who KNOWS what they're doing.
