005:

acquiring + retaining clients

 

Whether you’ve decided to open an LLC or go with a Sole-Proprietorship, you’re going to want to stay as organized as possible with your financial transactions.

I can’t stress this enough — keep your personal and business expenses separate.

You will save yourself and/or your accountant so much time and energy if you can stay organized.

forming a professional team


Let’s talk about how you’re going to get paid (finally!).

Now that you’re breaking away from the corporate setting, you’re going to be making more (or at least keeping more of the fee you’re charging) — but this also means that YOU need to be the one doing the invoicing to make that happen.
