EP342: Kim Wolfe - How To Build Your Dream Bookkeeping Business

“That’s the beauty of this industry, you can be as big or
as little as you want to be, it’s so
scalable.” 
-Kim Wolfe  


This is the question that has paralyzed more than a few good
people when it comes to wanting to start their own bookkeeping
business. It can be difficult to trust ourselves, and not judge
ourselves too harshly for previous failures.


Often, it is the expectation more than the outcome that hurts or
makes us feel uncomfortable when things haven’t gone the way we
hoped. What would happen if instead, you focused on being okay
where you are and building a different reality out from more
stable ground?


Kim Wolfe, former aerospace engineer and current owner of KAW
Solutions, is this episode's featured guest. After a dramatic
career shift, she leaned into her desire to help people fix their
problems, first in bookkeeping and then for those trying to grow
their businesses. Kim’s approach is process-focused, delegating
tasks to free up time, skilfully navigate obstacles and creating
successful teams.


If you are struggling to build the business you want because
things aren’t going the way you thought they would, this episode
is a great one to help you create a stable foundation from which
to achieve your bookkeeping dreams.
