EP440: Tanya Fox - The Importance Of Getting Connected - Part 2

“I think the most important thing a bookkeeper can do is
make a client feel like you care about their business. You care
about their success, and your only purpose is to make sure that
they are making more money.”


-Tanya Fox


 


An idea doesn’t have to be original for it to work. There is no
harm or shame in looking at what those you consider to be
successful are doing and applying what works in your own
business. So much time is wasted trying to reinvent the wheel,
trying to learn to do things we hate, when we could simply
partner with someone who fills those gaps.


 


Collaboration at its heart is about connection, understanding the
needs of others and working to solve their problems either by
handling it ourselves if the issue is in our wheelhouse, or being
confident enough to pass paying work onto more skilled people.
Knowing that when we do this, it builds trust and long-term
connections that show that faith is rewarded with the kinds of
work we actually enjoy.
