I know wearing all the hats can be exhausting and keep you from the part you really love but hang in there – you will get there! The first thing we all want to hire is an accountant, bookkeeper and an assistant…..but do we really need them all right now? Learning to do all aspects of your business is a must in my opinion. You don’t have to continue to do them, but knowledge is key. Hard to give direction when you don’t know how to do it yourself, or at least have some understanding of the job. Having a great accountant is a MUST for me (and honestly I’d be a goner without mine) so spend the money there to keep yourself on track. Try outsourcing to a VA or hiring a part time bookkeeper to start if those are areas you really can’t manage on your own. It gets better I promise! view page
