Profits + Prosecco: The Podcast

Last week, I shared twenty affirmations for honoring the present and bringing yourself back to the present moment. This week, I want to share affirmations for women like me…women who are balancing both business and motherhood.

As mothers and business owners, we often struggle to believe that we're doing enough.

That we're spending enough time with our kids...

That we're putting enough time into our business...

And that we're showing up at our best in every area of our lives.

We can fall prey to the fear that if we decide we're doing a good job, we might begin to fall behind in one or both areas. But it's all right to sit down and tell yourself that you are doing your best...and you're doing enough. Even when it doesn't feel like it. Even when you worry that you can't juggle it all.

Because you CAN juggle it all…and you're doing better than you think you are.

Listen to my favorite affirmations for mothers working hard to balance raising children and building a business…then repeat after me!

Last week, I shared some pretty powerful affirmations you can recite daily while you're building your own business. But that's not the only area of your life affirmations can affect!

Today, I'm sharing twenty daily affirmations for honoring the present and bringing yourself back to the present moment.

It is all too easy to live anywhere except the present. But when we live always looking back on yesterday and wishing we could turn back the clock, or spend so much time worrying about what might happen in the future that we live all our worst fears without knowing if they'll even happen…we end up disconnected entirely from our actual lives.

Yesterday is long gone, and tomorrow is never promised. All we truly have in our grasp is the now…so let's start living like it.

Listen to my favorite affirmations for honoring the present…then repeat after me!

Last week, I talked all about how powerful the practice of reciting daily affirmations can be. It's absolutely changed the way I think about my life, my business, and motherhood.

In fact, it's been so transformative that I want to sit down today and share them with all of you!

Today, I'm sharing twenty daily affirmations all about building a business.

Building a business can be a stressful, discouraging, and sometimes lonely endeavor. You can quickly find yourself sinking into negative thought spirals…which aren't supportive of your success at all.

That's where daily affirmations come in. Let's go over them together, shall we?

If you saw the title of this episode and went "Um…affirmations? That's a little out there for me. SKIP!" then HOLD YOUR HORSES - this episode is for you!

I get it. Lots of Type A personalities - aka, most bookkeepers and business owners - think affirmations are nothing but a waste of time, or put them in the same category as more woo-woo concepts like manifestation.

In actuality, affirmations are a fantastic psychological trick to get yourself OUT of negative thought patterns and INTO positive ones - and trust me, they work. They've changed my life!

Your thoughts, if you think about it, are really just stories you're telling yourself. And if that's true, then…why not tell yourself a good one?

Let me introduce you to affirmations and the benefits they bring along with them…

Okay, okay…so maybe that title was a LITTLE clickbait-worthy. But listen, I never do that—I've earned at least one!

Today's episode DOES feature a separation story…but it's the story of how I separated my two businesses.

I have my bookkeeping business and my coaching business. And for a long time, I ran both together…even though I knew I really shouldn't.

On the surface, they seem like they could go together. But trust me…after eighteen months spent working to unravel them and turn them into separate entities, I can tell you for absolute certain that they really just turned into a big, chaotic mess.

So I want to start by telling you what this split means for YOU, whether you're a bookkeeper or a bookkeeping client…and then I want to offer a cautionary tale on why you should always set your business up in case of success, not in case of failure.

So…where do you go now that the businesses have split? Let me show you!

Last episode, we talked about CLIENT RETENTION: what it is, why it matters, and why we need to shift it to the top of our priority list.

However, I know what you're thinking…you probably looked at that priority list and thought, "There's no way I can put client retention above X."

Whatever that "X" is for you, I can guarantee you that retaining clients absolutely should come above it…no matter how crucial it may seem.

So today, I'm going to go through a list of nine things that might be distracting you from retaining clients in your bookkeeping biz…and why they really, REALLY do need to move a few rungs lower on the priority ladder.

What if I told you that growing your bookkeeping business…actually SHOULDN'T be your focus at all?

It sounds pretty strange. Every business owner wants to see their business grow. However, there's something else that should actually take priority as you're running your bookkeeping biz…

Client retention.

Nobody talks about it, but it's true: client retention is KING. It's the key to building a consistent, sustainable business that allows you to live the kind of life you want. It's how I'm able to maintain six figures of income from bookkeeping while also volunteering at my kids' school, coaching other bookkeepers, and caring for my own health and well-being.

So…you want a reason why client retention should be one of the pillars of your business? I've got five. Let's go through them together.

What if I told you that it's not only possible to make 10k per month with a bookkeeping biz…it's also possible WHILE paying a team, WHILE covering all your business expenses (including a couple nice-to-have extras!), AND working fewer than 30 hours per month?

Yes, I said fewer than 30 hours PER MONTH.

It sounds like I did some bad math. But I pride myself on my quality bookkeeping–if there's one thing I NEVER do, it's get the numbers wrong.

Still don't believe me? I thought not. That's why I created a FREE mock P&L sheet you can use to follow along and check my work…and trust me, by the time you get to the end, you'll be chomping at the bit to start your own bookkeeping biz.
