Today, I am thrilled to welcome Lis Lee to join me for a discussion about all things Tech Talks!

Lis is a former corporate accountant, former BABs student, and owner of her own bookkeeping business…but she still attends Tech Talks.

No matter how far along (or how early ...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you've been looking for a pep talk, this is it. Whenever you are feeling discouraged, wrestling with your fears, or feeling as if you will never reach your goal, I want you to come back and read this:

Do I have to remind you of...

In the last episode of Profits + Prosecco (Episode 183!), we did a very powerful exercise where we talked about fears, their worst-case scenarios, and how to overcome them. If you didn't get a chance to listen to that episode, you definitely want to go back and listen…and...

I’ve been getting a lot of DMs recently that focus on the fear of failure: when you want to try something new, but you're afraid of what will happen if you fail, or what other people will think if you fail.

These thoughts are totally normal. Trying something new often br...

If you're a stay-at-home mom looking to start a business that checks literally all of the boxes for what you need, then a bookkeeping business is probably the right one for you…and I have ten reasons why. Let’s jump right in.

This morning, I took my last day of school pictures with my kids. Have you ever done that? I like to put the first day pictures next to their last day pictures, because it’s wild to see how much they’ve changed.

If I took a “first day” picture of my business and held it ...

I am so excited to welcome Misa Bacon from Perfectly Kept Books on to chat with us about the importance of bookkeeping!

We were having this conversation over DM, but I felt it was an important one to have, so I wanted to bring it here and share it with all of you.

We wa...

Today, we’re going to talk about what it means to be a CFO—a chief financial officer—and how the work differs from bookkeeping.

And to go over this topic, I’ve invited a guest to come on and chat with us today: Adam Lean, co-founder of The CFO Project!

At The CFO Projec...

Today, we're going to be talking about a topic near and dear to my heart: why your work is not your worth.

Again, your work is not your worth.

This conversation was inspired by the talk I had recently with Katie Fleming, where I brought up this American saying: “The squea

Today, we're going to be talking about a very exciting new plan that Kajabi just dropped: The Kickstarter Plan!

I got the email in my inbox last night about it, and I immediately jumped on Instagram to share, then created a couple of automations so that you can DM me and...

Escaping your full-time job and starting your own business is not an easy journey, but it is entirely doable. Stories like Christy’s prove it. So if you think it can’t ...

It's been a while since I've focused on Life by the Books, and that wasn’t an accident. I've just started to really value BABs as a bookkeeping program as well, and I recognized that I may have been underestimating how important it is for everybody to get their skills up ...

I’m not going to lie: I'm ridiculously giddy about covering this topic, because I have a lot to say about the cost of procrastination.

The story starts with me ending up behind on podcast episodes. We’re on Episode 173 now, and after 173 episodes, it can be hard to figur...

Today’s topic is as simple as four words:

What do you want?

Today, we're going to talk about the best way to get new clients.

This is a conversation that comes up all the time. It’s in my DMs. It's in my Facebook group. It’s even inside the LIBBY group!

Despite LIBBY giving my students a lot of different strategies to get new cl...

Welcome to Part Five of the BABs revamp series!

Today, I’m going to talk about why I decided to revamp the Become a Bookkeeper program, as well as lay out some of the changes that we're going to be making.

You’ve all been so patient, and I am thrilled to finally share t

As you’ve probably heard by now, my team and I are hard at work revamping Become a Bookkeeper (BABs) which is my self-paced program that teaches or hones your technical skills of bookkeeping to help you get ready to build your own bookkeeping business.

This is part four o

Welcome to Part 3 of the Become a Bookkeeper (BABs) miniseries, where I’m walking you through my program that teaches the technical skill of bookkeeping so that you can ultimately turn it into a simple, scalable business that actually gives you time and financial freedom....

Welcome to Part Two of the miniseries dedicated to Become a Bookkeeper, my program that teaches the technical skills of bookkeeping regardless of experience level!

Last time, I walked you through the backstory of Become a Bookkeeper, why I originally created it, and some...

Let's talk about BABs, baby.

This year, I am going to be revamping Become a Bookkeeper (BABs), my program that teaches the technical skill of bookkeeping for those who desire to start their own bookkeeping business.

To explain what led to this revamp, I'm going to be ta...

I am so excited to be able to share a portion of an interview I did with Sam Chlebowski, host of the Designing Growth podcast!

We had an incredibly full discussion—if you want to hear the full interview (and you should!) then head to Episode 165 of Profits + Prosecco!

I’ll be honest with you, friends…

I am stressed out.

That’s unusual for me, especially since I started my bookkeeping business. I don’t think I’ve been this stressed in a December-January period before, and there are a few reasons for that…but let me back up to the begi...

I want to start this out with a simple equation that my fellow left-brained geeks will love:

Making more does not equal doing more.

A wild concept, right? As a rule-following, Type A, hard-working, task-oriented, people-pleasing hustler, I know that this concept doesn't...
