Attention small business owner. I have an announcement. You are due to reward yourself for all your hard work. I see you looking confused at these words. You think I am not talking to you. But I am.
Many business owners I know say, “This year I am going to be more organized. This year I am going to keep up on my accounting. This year I am going to keep my office clean.”
As small business owners we don’t have much time for accounting. If a client or customer needs something from us, accounting quickly is thrown aside.
I wasn’t sure I wanted to start my own business. It’s a scary thought. What if I don’t get any clients? What if I don’t get paid by the clients I do get? What if I can’t feed my child? What if … what if …
Every day I walk out to get the mail hoping for a check. Most days, it’s just more bills. But every day I still have hope.
As small business owners we are excited one minute then knocked down the next minute. It’s the nature of our business. We get a new big client. Yay, we are up. The new big client doesn’t pay us for three months. Boo, we are down. But then, they pay us right when the rent is due. Yay, we are up again.
