I find when I speak to accountants or bookkeepers, they are a little bit more hesitant because we’re pragmatic. And so if I were to answer that question for a bookkeeper and accountant, I actually just received an email from someone who is a controller full time and has started building a bookkeeping business on the side. She has four clients and she’s wondering, she emailed me asking when’s the right time for me to go full time with this? She’ll be able to, you continue to pay her bills, all the normal things that we think about when it comes to going out on your own.

It was coming back to my, my true nature of being a creative and being a risk taker and carving out my own journey. What helps me with that transition was applying some of the things that I’ve learned in accounting. One of the things that I learned, that we all learn in this space, is you have to know your numbers. Some people it’s 5,000 some people it’s 10,000 whatever it is.
