Happy New Year everyone! Haven't things improved in recent years? No more paper-based Group Certificates to prepare! YAY!
So - I'm curious - I remember celebrating the move to paperless and cloud based systems, simply for the reduction of paper. Having always been very environmentally conscious, I wonder - how much is this something that you're aware of in your business? Would you call your business eco-friendly? What about your clients?
I'm just looking to start a conversation.... What do you think?

Once upon a time, a typical business would be established on a few core principles, and would run some marketing, deliver as promised, and responsibly manage the finances, with a high likelihood of being successful. This was back in a time when the world was far less complicated.

Since then, however, the world has steadily become more and more confusing, complicated, and difficult to navigate a clear path forward. There are many things that we need to deal with that we never had to in the past.

Things such as digital disruption, cyber security, the rampant escalation of mental health concerns, the impact of global events, the threat to free trade, the world economy, the social media onslaught, the lowest ever interest rates, the rise of unemployment, the difficulty in finding competent and willing employees, the threat of litigation, the demands of being politically correct, and the constant and unrelenting pressure to meet targets and deadlines. Just to name a few. And it's probably just going to get worse.

These pressures were unheard of only a few decades ago. In such a short space of time, the world has changed to be completely unrecognisable to our forebears. The best way to overcome this maze of complications is business coaching. But what makes a good coach, and how do you get the best business coaching results?

[06/02/21]   I recently shared my very personal story in a private group about how I came to be where I am today.
The feedback has been incredibly encouraging, so perhaps I have the guts to make it a little more public?
Please let me know what you think. Does this make me more "qualified" as a business/life coach?

When Will I Know If My New Business Will Work? - Evertrue Business Coaching

In my lastest blog post, we look at the age-old question of "How do I know when my business will work out?" With all of the uncertainty, not knowing if you're doing it right, if it's worth all the effort and struggle, it's something that I had to deal with myself for 15 years running my bookkeeping business - until one day I was talking to someone and they said - "Wow, you've been doing this for 15 years, you must be pretty good at it!" Until that moment, all I had seen was the struggle before me, not the accomplishments along the way.

I hope you enjoy this article, it's written from the heart, knowing how that struggle and doubt feels, but also from my head, knowing what you need to do. Feel free to comment!

Starting a Business from Scratch - Evertrue Business Coaching

There are too many variables when starting a business to be able to provide a comprehensive checklist that would cover all the actions required for all types of businesses, but here is a list of the general basics. Each of these steps has volumes of further information available, and it’s important to research and have a good understanding of all of them.

TAX, LEGAL and ADMINISTRATION:
Decide on your ideal business entity type. The 4 main options are:
1) Sole Trader
2) Partnership
3) Trust
4) Company (Pty Ltd)
For more information on the differences between each one, and the pros and cons of each, please get in touch with me, or speak to an accountant.
Register your business trading name with ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission https://asic.gov.au/). This is required for any business name except if using your own personal name (as a sole trader), or the full name of a company.
Register an ABN (Australian Business Number) - through the Australian Business Register https://www.abr.gov.au/. When doing this, you do not necessarily need to register for GST, which is required only when your turnover (business income) is more than $75,000 per year. Until this point, it is your choice to charge GST or not, and there are pros and cons to each option. If you are a company or trust, this step, as well as the trading name, will be done at the same time by the accountant setting up the entity.
Insurance - Broadform Liability (aka public liability) is required, plus any other cover you feel is appropriate. In some industries, professional indemnity insurance is also required.
Professional Industry Registration. This varies depending on the industry, but professions such as accountants, car dealers, most tradesmen, etc, will have a governing body that requires a paid membership for you to legally operate as that profession. Many of these governing bodies will require a certain qualification to be obtained and maintained with ongoing professional development.
Set up a separate bank account in the business name (CRITICALLY IMPORTANT!!)
Establish who the key personnel are in your business. Even if you run this business on your own, there would still be outside people connected to your business that will ensure its success - like your accountant, bookkeeper, website developer, virtual assistant (like a remote online secretary), and any other people that support you in running your business.

THE 2 PILLARS OF BUSINESS:
There are 2 things you need in order to be in business. A customer, and a product or service. Sounds obvious enough, but it’s necessary to really clarify who and what this is.
Write down as specifically and accurately and detailed as possible what your business will be selling, and who will be paying you for it. This also includes identifying the geographical area that your business services. At this step, it’s also necessary to keep in mind what problem you will be solving. Every transaction happens as a result of a problem being solved.

Bookkeeper Bliss Workshop = The Winning Edge

Full of fresh starts, new opportunities, new goals and resolutions, January is the perfect time to regroup, take a step back, and plan your year ahead with purpose and direction.

If there was anything that I wish someone had told me 15 years ago, it would be whatever I needed to hear to understand how vitally and critically important good planning and structure is.
For far too long, I would work work work, believing that if I just get the work done and do a good job, everything will work out. No no no, there’s so much more to it than that!

It was only after I learned - the hard way - about planning, being pro-active and just a little bit more disciplined, that I was able to finally move forward.

At the upcoming Bookkeeper Bliss Workshop, both in person at Make Place, Mandurah, and live-stream online, on Tuesday 12th January, 2021 at 6:30pm, you will learn the skills needed to set your 2021 up to be the best year ever for your bookkeeping business.

Learn how to:
1 - Calculate the right charge out rate.
2 - Manage ATO deadlines - with EASE!
3 - Establish and maintain a professional operation - even if you work from home.

Get your tickets now and I’ll see you there!

Warm Regards,

If you were wondering what to expect at the upcoming Bookkeeper Bliss workshop, here it is!

Do I need to bring anything?
No, you won’t need to bring anything, as you’ll be provided with a printed workbook (or emailed a digital copy prior to the workshop) that you can complete throughout the event.

Why is it Free?
As the new coaching business gains traction, it’s necessary to stay in touch with the current issues that the audience experiences. So a free event is the best way to remove any obstacles for the people this workshop relates to, and the discussion held will enable the presenter to stay up to date with what’s going on. During the workshop, a paid program will be offered, but there is absolutely no obligation or pressure to take it on. Come to the free event, learn all you can, use the education for the benefit of your business.

How many people are coming?
Being held in the Bendigo Box at Make Place, this room comfortably seats 12 around a large table. There will also be others attending online.

Who is the presenter?
Bronwyn Chompff-Gliddon, having run a bookkeeping business for 15 years, made the jump to business coaching in 2019, and is now dedicated to using the knowledge, skills, experience and passion for business, bookkeeping, and coaching, to help bookkeepers everywhere provide the highest level of service possible to their clients, so that everyone wins. During these 15 years, the bookkeeping business was operated from home, from an external office, from the client’s office, with babies and toddlers in tow, with all kids at school, working with businesses in almost every industry, going solo, hiring staff, taking on major projects, working the day-to-day admin…. Pretty much every kind of base has been covered.

Is it face-to-face or online?
It’s both! In person at Make Place, Mandurah WA - a renowned hub and co-working space for business owners and entrepreneurs, and also live-streamed via Zoom to an online audience located both locally and interstate.

What is the format for the workshop?
It’s a 2-hour workshop (with a short break in the middle) to discuss and provide tools and knowledge to deal with 3 common issues that bookkeepers face:
1. Charge-out rates: Especially relevant for new out-sourced bookkeepers coming from an employment hourly rate, we look at why other bookkeepers are charging more than double the wages you used to be getting. We also look at the long-term effects of keeping your rate too low, and how to calculate the perfect charge-out rate for both you and your client.
2. ATO Deadlines: There’s a spike before every BAS report is due, and you’re up until midnight or getting up at 5 to get the work done. Then in the middle of the month there’s almost no work at all. Learn strategies and receive tools to smooth out the workload so that you have a consistent number of hours every week of the month.
3. Professional Operation: Especially relevant to bookkeepers working from home, it’s difficult to feel like you’re running a professional business when you’re used to working in your pyjamas (that was always my favourite). Often your business ends up last on the list behind your clients, and so you struggle to build up your business. Learn how to overcome this obstacle and be the kind of bookkeeper you know you can be.

If you have any other questions that aren’t covered here, please let me know! I’m looking forward to seeing you at the workshop.

Being a Good Bookkeeper in Australia Today. - Evertrue Business Coaching

In today's blog post, I chat with Hannah Wilson from H Bookkeeping (https://www.facebook.com/H-Bookkeeping-105933634719371) about the state of bookkeeping today.
I loved the similarities, even though we're 15 years apart in starting our bookkeeping business, and I'm reassured that while the tasks may change through changing technology, the work stays pretty much the same!
