Think you don’t need a mentor because you can figure it out yourself? I used to say the exact same thing.
But now I understand that mentorship is the secret weapon that helps bookkeepers grow into confident business owners!
That’s why I invited a former mentor of mine, Ronna-Renee Jackson of LaunchPoint Leadership, to join me for this conversation. Together, we break down how a mentor’s outside perspective helps you spot issues sooner, make decisions faster, and move your firm forward without burning out.
Key Takeaways:
- The different styles of mentorship, from quick “flash” guidance to long-term leadership support
- How to recognize when you’re stuck in the “I’ll just do it myself” trap that keeps bookkeepers from scaling
- The six specific symptoms that show it’s time for you to find a mentor
