EP290: Jessica Hearsey - How to Build a Bookkeeping Business, Not a Job

“If I can’t find it myself, I guess I’ll just create
it!” 


-Jessica Hearsey 


Logging in online or heading to an office everyday where you
don’t feel valued can be very demoralizing. It is tough to get
energized to do a job that lacks vision, clarity, or a sense of
purpose.
 
If you don’t know how valuable you are, how can you communicate
it to your clients?
 
Building a business is never easy, but if you feel passionately
about committing to your goals and creating something you truly
believe in, the clients will come. When you take the time to
understand and truly know your value, people will listen.
 
Jessica Hearsey, owner of Altitude Accounting, talks this week
about the differences between working a job and building a
business. By finding the courage to stick to your convictions,
you can create the life you dream of. One where people come to
you because they believe in what you are doing, not just because
they need something done.
