EP384: Paige Papaioannou - How To Build A Business That Works For You

“Having a community to support me, it just was
instrumental. It's something you can't talk to your friends and
family about. They just don’t get it.”
-Paige Papaioannou


Not everything is as easy as the internet makes it seem. But
thanks to the internet, there is a wealth of information and
possibilities for connection with people on a similar journey to
you. By being in a community of like-minded people, you can learn
from the mistakes of others and support one another.


Paige Papaioannou, owner of Books By Paige, is this episode’s
featured guest. She has spent her career helping businesses
thrive through her expert accounting and advisory services. In
her conversation with Michael, they explore what it's like to
build a business that works for you, not one you are left trapped
working in.


By creating systems and processes that make the work that you and
your team easy to replicate, you’ll create a bookkeeping business
that can run without you, that won’t shut down if you lose any
staff, and can be easily scaled to accommodate increases in
growth.


If you are struggling and want to move from people-driven to
system-driven processes, this is the episode to get you thinking
differently about the future of your bookkeeping business.


During this interview, you'll learn...



The value of connecting with a supportive
community


How to build a bookkeeping business that works for you,
not one you work for


The importance of building client relationships in your
own way
