Think you need more certifications, one more tax season, or a “perfect” moment before you start or scale your firm? I’ve been there too, and waiting cost me YEARS of momentum, money, and peace of mind. 


In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the four biggest regrets from building, scaling, and selling my bookkeeping business so you don’t repeat them. 


Key Takeaways:

  • Why confidence comes after action (not before)
  • How building with an exit in mind makes your firm easier to run today
  • The hiring rule of thumb that would’ve saved me from burnout
  • The mindset shift that finally helped me price for value.
