Identifying Bottlenecks In Your Practice

Build Your Best Bookkeeping Practice Podcast

play

03/05/20 • 17 min

What is preventing you from moving forward in your business? What is taking too long? What systems or processes are holding you back?

These are bottlenecks that slow down our flow.

3 signs you have a bottleneck in your practice: Project Delays, Staff Burnout, and Rework

Knowing that you have bottlenecks in your practice isn’t the same as identifying them and trying to eliminate them. What you want to focus on is trying to systemize your business and treat your work-product like going through that assembly line. Think about all the materials that are needed to get you to done.

Just write that process down from when you start a job to what is complete. When looking at your list, pinpoint the areas where you complain the most or you see that flow of the work being kinked. Once you’ve identified areas of your practice that could work better, see if there is a way to simplify that process.

02/19/20 • 26 min

Slowing down will help you build the practice that is best for YOU.

Just because you keep going and going, doesn’t mean you are more productive. Or you are more important or more successful.

It actually can really hold you back.

So, you get it. You need to slow down, but why?

According to Inc.com, here are 4 reasons why slowing down will actually make you more successful:

  1. You’ll have greater clarity
  2. You can’t hustle if you’re dead
  3. You’ll harness the power of emotion
  4. You’ll make better decisions

Dealing with Imposter Syndrome

01/23/20 • 26 min

This was one of the harder episodes that I've recorded so far. Imposter syndrome is a real thing and it holds a lot of us back from being our best. I knew I wanted to cover the topic, but when I posted "What is currently holding you back from building your best bookkeeping practice?" in our Facebook Group, Imposter Syndrome came up as an answer several times. So, I had to go there!
