A Note From @Tos.Boss
Dida Clifton
Bookkeeping is not Accounting. It's Operations. It's part of the day to day mundane yet very important systems and processes of every business. I help owners make their operations work so they don't have too.
November 5, 2023
Good morning, happy November, and welcome to the Sunday Brief! -? A "brief," hopefully helpful, message from one business owner to another.? ? Currently we're chatting about 50 lessons learned.?Today we're at number 11 - Follow your gut.
First, a friendly reminder that if your bookkeeping isn't done, you're running out of year.? Operation Clean Up is available year-round at TheOfficeSquad. Check it out here and book a time to learn more. Don't wait until all the bookkeeping firms are swamped!
Okay, todays message is about following your instincts. That little voice in your head or feeling in your gut, that says something is not what it should be.
The most common occurrence of that around the squad is when it comes to? hiring.? Sometimes, no matter how great the interview goes, it just doesn't feel right.? We go through the usual, "We could really use the help, maybe they just needs a chance."? Using logic to convince ourselves that hiring this person is okay; and every time we shoot ourselves in the foot.? No kidding.? Every time the little voice has been correct.
I've learned that this is also true for accepting clients. No matter how bad you need the revenue, if your gut is telling you the potential client is not a good fit, you'd better believe it.?
I hope you find value in my message and have a wonderful Sunday. - Dida
Trusting Your Instincts: The Guiding Force in Business Decisions
Have you ever wondered how many decisions a business owner makes in a day?? Each day is a non-stop decision-making marathon!
From the moment we wake up to the time we finally get some shut-eye, business owners are juggling choices like circus performers with flaming torches. It could range from the big-picture stuff like strategic planning and investments to the nitty-gritty details like which coffee brand to stock in the break room. Some days, It's decision overload, and on others, it's a game of "Trust Your Gut: Business Edition."
While data and analysis play a crucial role, there's an unsung hero that resides within each of us—the gut feeling. That subtle inner voice, the instinct that whispers to us in moments of uncertainty, can be a powerful guiding force in navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship. It's easy to get lost in the sea of advice and market trends, but sometimes, your gut knows best.
Have you ever had a decision to make that left you torn between logic and intuition? It's that inner voice that serves as your compass, warning you of potential pitfalls or urging you to take a leap of faith.
