EP402: Peter Cook - Taking The Leap From Bookkeeper To Business Leader

“If we could get what’s in your head, about how you do
bookkeeping, out of your head and onto paper, into a system or
process that someone else could follow, do you think then you
could trust somebody else with your clients?” 


-Peter Cook


 


The world of bookkeeping is ever-evolving.


 


More and more frequently we are being relied on not only for our
number crunching but in an advisory capacity. There is a wealth
of knowledge we each possess from years of working within our
niches. The problem is, all that great information is trapped
inside our heads.


 


Building effective systems and processes is about more than just
having a computer run the numbers. Our systems should reflect the
very best of ourselves. They should contain our knowledge and
experience, so others can easily use that information to help
clients.


 


Peter Cook, co-author of the E-Myth Bookkeeper and co-founder of
Pure Bookkeeping, is this episode’s featured guest. He has spent
his career mentoring business owners to find out what they really
want from their businesses and their lives and how to get
it. 


 


If you are struggling to move from working IN your business to
working ON your business, are looking to scale your business, but
everything is stuck in your head, or just want to test your
systems against the advice of a master in the field, then this is
the episode to get you started!
