Now in Session with Accounting Therapy

While we all have a bit of crazy in our days, that does not mean we have to stay crazy. So, I’m going to share my top 3 strategies for cancelling the crazy in my day. My #I strategy (and not only because it is first on the list) is using my calendar religiously. If it is not on my calendar, it is VERY rare that someone will get my attention during a time they are not scheduled. Yes, I have to say NO a lot. Yes, sometimes people must wait two weeks for my attention. But this is so helpful in cancelling the crazy.

How many of you have heard the saying “get out of your own way”? I have been part of a small round table with my business coach and we have been discussing this topic for about 6 months now. We have gone over ways to automate our systems, hire new employees, creating corrective action plans, and even finding a sounding board to talk us through the good the bad and the ugly of business ownership. But I think the most favorite thing that I have learned in trying to get out of my own way, is how visionary’s need an integrator and vice versa.

What are your Q4 goals? Do you have a sales number you are trying to hit? How about providing benefits to your team? What about implementing a new process you heard great things about? Whatever that goals is, you will need a process, a way of keeping the team accountable and a point person. Sounds simple right… so let's do this.

Do you want the access of QuickBooks Online with the features of QuickBooks Desktop... why not host? As a QuickBooks Service provider, we have the unique opportunity to work inside other businesses, figuratively speaking, and even sometimes quite literally too! Which means we see a lot of different integrations, software, and even hosting solutions put to work.

Are you prepared for yourself or one of your key players to be absent for an extended time? Plan ahead and you and your team will know exactly what to do and when.

Just because one software is installed on a local workstation and one is on the cloud does not mean choosing between Desktop or Online is an easy task. There are some industries, functionalities or personality types of business owners that will work best with a specific version of QuickBooks.

If you are like most of the world, you are freaking out about money right now. Maybe freaking out is a bit extreme, but it’s a huge unknown right now. We have no idea how long this virus will linger and what effect it will have on the economy.
