The Ambitious Bookkeeper Podcast

On today’s interview episode, I have a special guest on to talk about creating content, podcasting, and standing out as who you are.

Even if you aren’t interested in starting a podcast, I know you’ll have a few takeaways from this episodes and get ideas on how YOU can start to stand out online.

Here are some of the things we talked about:

• getting comfortable hearing your voice on a podcast
• what holds most people back from just starting
• letting go of perfection when creating content

And since she’s a business owner, I asked her what she thought is important in a bookkeeper, and this part of the conversation will be gold for you.
