Are you starting a bookkeeping Business or a Hobby?

Kirsty has been having some real challenges getting her bookkeeping business started – and a large part of that seems to be her whole approach

How you think about your business, your attitude towards your business is very important – it’s the main stumbling block that bookkeepers have when they get started

Many wanna-be bookkeepers just see bookkeeping as a way of making some “pocket money” at home in between looking after the kids, shopping, housework etc

How do you view your business?
Propsective clients have an uncanny way of detecting the “credibility” of a bookkeeper

The responses that we receive from many wanna-be bookkeepers suggests that they haven’t got their heads around the potential of this opportunity of starting a bookkeeping business

That can be a challenge for bookkeepers/accountants that have been working fulltime for an employer

Your mental approach to your business is very important
Work on your business plan – review the list of services that you will offer – put them together in a professional manner [not a shopping list]

Focus on getting your business started in a serious manner, treat this like a business and you’ll start to see some good results
