Hardships Starting a Bookkeeping Business - Struggles I Faced and How I Handled Them

When I started my bookkeeping business and now that I’m running a successful business, I now look back and see different hardships I had to go through. Many of the hardships I’ve faced have to do with technology problems and feeling alone in solving every issue that I come across (in both bookkeeping and being a business owner). In this video, I also talk through bookkeeping client issues and some of my personal rules for which clients I'll take on (this was a huge lesson I learned along the way)

Here are the five hardships I’ve dealt with in my business:

1. Getting stuck

2. Dealing with difficult clients

3. Tech issues

4. Learning tech

5. Working from home
