Hey, We always make plans before we start a business. So we are full of ideas initially. As time goes we run out of them. How to come out of that inertia is always a challenge. One method that has worked at times for me is like think of some thing random and non related.   - Like a line in a movie you like - Like a lyric - Like some thing you would like to speak in front of a crowd - etc etc or any thing.

Hey, Welcome to the community. Three most important financial year end reports are - [1] Trial Balance [2] Profit and Loss [3] Balance Sheet But if you want to make a clear distinction between Pending Receipts  and Pending Payments then a Accounts Receivable and a Accounts Payable over a relevant period of time would also help.  If you are using QuickBooks you could generate these reports in excel formats in a matter of seconds.

Hey, Welcome to the community. Incorrectly spelled words put up for public viewing are embarrassing. Especially when so much of our information is available online and everyone and anybody can see it.   How to correct it depends on where you need to apply corrections.

I am more orthodox or maybe old fashioned in my approach. I took a contract before I quit my job. Mine is an online bookkeeping and accounting services firm. I do bookkeeping for an Accounting firm currently. I had the contract made before I quit my job. The idea of being without the Fixed and Timely income that jobs give us was scary to me. I am on the lookout for more Clients. I initially hired one bookkeeper. So there are just two of us in the office currently. But I earn more than what I was making when I had my job. Also have more flexible timings. Its just the third month.  As time goes by I become more confident that my business will grow.  ... View more

Hey, It takes time to save enough to start on your own. One of the fears you have is that you will see it all go with nothing coming in. One lesson startups better know first is that initially profits are what provide the buffer for future expenses.  If you save them you have a future. If you don't you can run into trouble.        ...

Hi,  One of the biggest fear that people have is of speaking in public. It takes quite a bit of exposure to get used to it. I still freeze up. But preparing what you want to say and putting it on a piece of paper for referring to in case you forget what to say next does help. ... View more
