Today’s Tip: Building Team
Last week, we talked about investing in yourself by maintaining your personal appearance at all times. This week, we’ll look into some business basics and why you need to invest in your business to create cash. The first investment you should make is TEAM. What kind of team you need to build is dependent on your answer to these questions. 1) What are you good at/love to do? 2) What can you do, but it takes up a lot of time in your business? 3) What do you hate to do or aren’t good at, but doing it is essential to your business? Your team should be comprised of people who do what takes up a lot of time for you and #3. Need help figuring out what team you need?

Today’s Tip: Bookkeeping
If you don’t have any money to count yet, you don’t need a bookkeeper – but you will need some software to keep the numbers in line, see where your revenue is coming from, and have your ducks in a row come tax time. Quickbooks is a great solution. Accountants can download reports so, come tax time, it’s easy. If bookkeeping is one of the things you aren’t good at, look into a part-time service.
