What is Undone Bookkeeping Costing you?
Part of my proposal process with a prospective client is to have them complete a value questionnaire. The value questionnaire aims to determine prospective customers' pain points and why having a solution is essential to them.
One prospect said her undone bookkeeping caused her great anxiety, which weighed on her mind every night as she went to sleep. Wow! That sounds less than ideal.
I could relate to this because back in the day when we didn’t have bank feeds and had to enter all transactions manually, I would get months behind too, and catching up on my bookkeeping was constantly on my to-do list, not getting done, draining my energy.
Unfortunately, having a business comes with bookkeeping. It can be challenging to stay on top of and hard to free ourselves from the nagging feeling of being constantly behind in this area. Even if you outsource your bookkeeping, you still have financial tasks that only you can take care of, like invoicing your customers or updating your Financial Forecast.
Bookkeeping is important but not urgent, so it often gets pushed to the side, left for last, and only prioritized when responding to a deadline or another pressing need like invoicing our customers because we need cash in the bank.
How do we support things getting done in the important but not urgent category? Because the urgent and important are always going to trump the non-urgent until the important becomes urgent, which comes with stress. Rather than responding to our bookkeeping and financial tasks from a survival state, we want to calm our nervous systems down and liberate energy so we can create.
Love Your Numbers Now is on a mission to teach 10,000 people how to do Financial Forecasting. One thing that became very clear during the Financial Forecasting Experience was that business owners needed more time to work on their numbers, and the co-working sessions included in the program helped a lot! After a few co-working sessions, one participant said they felt more ahead than behind, and another one had everything ready to do their taxes and were just waiting on tax documents to come in the mail so they could do their tax return.
I want more people to feel this way! And being on top of your numbers makes it so much easier to get started with Forecasting. So, if you desire to add Financial Forecasting to your business systems, getting your bookkeeping up-to-date is the first step and will set you up for success.
So, I am excited to tell you about a free monthly co-working bookkeeping session called Nurture Your Numbers. Eighty percent of getting your bookkeeping done is getting started. This one session a month will create momentum in your financial life.
It will be on Zoom.
Each session begins with a check-in where we set an intention for the session. We work quietly for 45-50 minutes and come back with a check-in about how it went. I offer support and encouragement during our time together.
Get some time on your calendar to show up and work with others who have the same goal of being excellent financial stewards of their businesses!
