When I look back on starting my bookkeeping business, there are many things I would do differently now… But there are also plenty of things I would do exactly the same—and recommend that you do, too. If I had to build my bookkeeping business again from the ground up, there are five things that I did the first time I would absolutely do again…some that are easy, and some that are not so easy.  But I promise you, each and every one of these steps will make your journey to starting your own bookkeeping business so much smoother…and significantly shorten your own list of things you wish you would have done differently!   EPISODE RESOURCES: If you're looking for more tips for bookkeeping, insight on how to become a bookkeeper, and how to say hello to a more confident business model, enroll in Become A Bookkeeper (BABs).  To learn about the programs and get a peek behind the curtain, head to www.katieferro.com/6-secrets.
