Time Flies.....when you're having fun!

It's how the saying goes, right?!  Then this year MUST have been a lot of fun, because I haven't posted once in the past 12 months.  Amazing!

I had really left this blog because I was focusing my energy on 3 other blogs hosted on my main webserver.  But this month, because of some bad planning on my part, those sites are down & I find myself craving an outlet to write. I'll get those sites back up and running soon, so I can incorporate everything together again.

"Streamline & Simplicity" was my motto for 2010. In some ways life has become exactly that.  Streamlined and Simplified.  In ways I couldn't have possibly imagined when I first started doodling those two words everywhere.   Relationships, physical belongings, business, health.  Nearly everything in my life has changed in the past year. Some of it didn't look very pleasant while it was happening, and others were a welcome change. And then when you take a moment to look and see what's happened?!  Well, change is always a little painful, isn't it?

This past week I had a conversation with Andrew about his dream to run an accounting & bookkeeping business. I've had an 3-course sitting in my computer for a very long time, just collecting dust (metaphorically speaking, of course). While we were talking I wondered again why I wasn't sharing this information with more people. I didn't know this, but Andrew used to be an artist and ran a small business until he was married & started a family. Now he works in a very responsible job, working 9-5 in a downtown accounting firm. He told me how he misses the flexibility of setting his own hours, and really wishes he could volunteer at his oldest boys school this fall, when he goes to kindergarten. Yeah! He has 2 little boys at home right now.

He's being a responsible Dad! I commend that! But what if he could build a business quickly and solidly? What if he could create that flexible schedule so that he could be there for his son this autumn. If you're working in a bookkeeper capacity right now, or you've taken an accounting or bookkeeping diploma - maybe it's time to look at the 6 week e-course I'm offering this summer.

The ExtraOrdinary Bookkeeper!

APRIL 9th!! Catch Up Bookkeeping Day!

"If you're feeling like this guy, then please set aside April 9th in your calendar."

You may want to be in your office alone, or bring in an entire crew. Just set aside April 9th in your calendar as THE DAY to get it done.

Can a group of Like-Minded Business Owners really make a difference?

You probably already know a bit about the MasterMind group I joined this January. And for some, it's a commitment of time and money you're just not prepared for. And I completely understand. I've heard about Sharon Wilsons programs earlier in the year, and became aware of her 30 day challenge this evening. I thought I should share it with you.
