Hey Ambitious Bookkeepers! Today we're dropping a special Bonus episode to help inspire you if you're new to the thought of starting your own business, or you've recently made the decision to. A couple times a year, we open The Bookkeeping Biz Workshops — a workshop series just for those who are wanting to start or who have recently started their businesses. After the workshops are over, I usually bring in a few bookkeepers who I've worked with either in the Workshops or In The Accelerator program I have and I interview them about their journey of starting their businesses.

I've never shared these outside of the workshops, so as a podcast listener, you're getting a sneak peak into what you might experience inside of the workshops or my other programs.

I hope these interviews inspire you to take action—in whatever way that is, big or small: deciding to quit your job, or even just declaring that you will start your business and joining us in the upcoming workshops.

Like I said, these are interviews from the last round of workshops in 2021, so if you want to hear the new stories that will be showcased in this new round, make sure you sign up.

First I'll be interviewing Erin Pohan, an accountant, mom, and the owner of Upkeeping.

Next you're going to hear from Misa, who was in my very first cohort of BBA, when it was a brand new program. I'll always hold a special place in my heart for my first cohort, as they've been along for the ride since the beginning. And as you'll hear from both ladies, the community we've built is one of the best parts.

I hope these interviews inspire you as much as they do me, and their words of wisdom help you in some way.

In this interview episode this week, I am interviewing one of my very first students of the bookkeeping business accelerator, but we do kind of talk about the beginning of us meeting. However, what I did bring this special guest on today to talk about is

1. burnout
2. boundaries
3. using your intuition
4. how to incorporate your human design into how you exist in your business and in life.

Our guest, Laura Torma, previously known as Laura Watson, the number's nomad, is an intuitive life and business strategist.

She used to be a CPA who worked with countless clients and accountants, and she has taken her experience and melded it with spiritual systems, such as human design to help all people come into the gift of who they are.

I am so excited to have you listening to this conversation with Laura, and I hope that you take away something, if not, lots of things from this episode.

This week I'm chatting with Aimee LaLiberte, the owner of My Virtual CFO. Aimee is a trusted profitability advisor to six and seven-figure business owners who are tired of

being behind in their books and are ready to uncover blind spots,

course correct, and ultimately get more profitable.

Aimee also is a certified life and money coach and works with

business owners who seek greater confidence and unwavering drive

to attract and build wealth in their businesses and lives.

After working in non-profit and finance for over 16 years and

helping hundreds of business owners since starting her own

business, Aimee knows how important it is to have steadfast trust in

the person looking after your books.

This episode is packed with insights and advice from someone just like you, who was giving away advisory and high level CFO services with her bookkeeping, and she is sharing her knowledge and tips with you on:

1. shifting your mindset and limiting beliefs when going out on your own
2. creating a plan to leave corporate
3. advice for accounting students who want to start a business
4. 3 things that provide immense value to clients
5. creating results in your own business that you can translate into success for clients
6. and so much more

It was such an honor and pleasure to interview Aimee and honestly I'm excited to have made such a great connection through the podcast and know we'll keep in touch going forward.
