Heather got her accounting degree in 2014 and worked in corporate accounting for a few years. That's when she realized that she was meant to be her own boss and really didn't enjoy the corporate environment. She discovered Bookkeeping Business Launch and after giving birth to her son, she decided to dive into it and give it a shot. [4:10] Initially she was skeptical about the program and whether she could handle it with a newborn, but something clicked once he was two months old. She took her time starting the business but after a year of working on things and landing her first client, it really took off. [6:00] The lack of flexibility was Heather's main issue with the corporate environment. Being able to determine her own hours and how she runs her business has been very important to her. Flexibility and freedom are very common reasons for people wanting to start their own business. [9:05] Currently Heather has 14 clients, 2 of which she had to part ways with at the beginning of the year, because they didn't have enough profit in their business to justify it. [9:55] Heather would recommend the bookkeeping business to someone who has the drive and the motivation to do what they need to do to live the life they want to live. There are a lot of benefits to working for an employer but you will never have the freedom you get from building a business around your lifestyle. You should also enjoy working with numbers of course. [11:45] Heather's end game is to move into the CEO role and start growing her and her business's capacity. Eventually, she would love to be able to walk away from the business for a while, without having to worry about the work getting done. Finances are a factor to achieve their dreams but it's not the main issue right now. [14:30] When your business is not about the dire need for money, it puts you into a better situation and puts the power in your hands. You won't feel the pressure to do something before you are prepared for it. [15:35] By the end of 2019, Heather is hoping to double her revenue and by the end of 2020 she hopes to triple it at least. [16:30] Knowledge is not power, implementation is power. It's better to take a nugget of wisdom you hear and go execute on it, rather than keep listening and do nothing with it. [18:10] To achieve the growth that she envisions for her business, Heather will need to bring on some new team members. She's nervous about delegating, because she's not sure the systems and processes she has set up at the moment are up to snuff. [20:50] Start from the results that you want, and then figure out how to make it work. [22:30] We don't want to throw people at a process problem, we want to have our processes down and then fit someone into them. [23:00] Heather considers networking and creating relationships to be her unique ability. She has never advertised to find clients, they have all come from word of mouth and networking events. [25:40] While Heather enjoys creating relationships and meeting new people, she doesn't enjoy going out and searching for new clients and creating new leads. Sales and follow up, and social media are probably the first things that she is going to offboard to someone else. [27:30] Your first hire is probably going to be a virtual assistant, not another bookkeeper. Figure out the tasks that you don't want to do anymore, record them, and then find a VA to do those things for you. This can free up significant amounts of your time every single month that you can dedicate to tasks you actually like to do. Once everyone is comfortable with the task, you can start expanding the responsibilities. [30:10] List all the tasks that you do in your business, and categorize them into things that you love to do, things that you can do well but don't energize you, and things you actively dislike doing. Start offloading the tasks you dislike the most by creating your processes around those first. [32:15] Processes are what make your business sellable. Once you get started you will get addicted to creating more. Start with one task and give it to one person. [36:10] For action items, Heather is going to figure out which tasks she can offload to a VA and start creating her processes. The task audit is the first step which she is aiming to have completed by the end of April, and have her first hire by the end of June. [41:05] Before you offboard a task, ask yourself if you should just stop doing it, or if it can simply be automated. Remember this when creating your processes, because you will see things differently when you're in a teaching frame of mind.   Mentioned in this episode: Denning Bookkeeping Solutions     Contact us about the show: hello@ilovebookkeeping.com

Disruptor [noun] - a person or thing that prevents something, especially a system, process, or event, from continuing as usual or as expected https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/disruptor Yes, this month we are talking about disruption. I think it is a fitting theme for this past year, don't you? There is a lot of disruption happening all around us and it is not necessarily bad. Change comes from disruption and change can be good. I have often wondered when we talk about change in the education system where we need disruption to be. From the inside or out? In this episode I sat down with education disruptor, Heather MacTaggart to talk about how she sees disruption happening within the system. She says, "If now isn’t the time to redesign an education model built for the industrial age, when will it be?" Unschooling School Heather’s obsession is helping to create an education system that actually makes sense for kids, all kids! She is a social entrepreneur, an educator, and a problem solver. She founded Classroom Connections in 1997 because she was worried about the education system and the kids in it. Since then, Classroom Connections has evolved from a grass-roots resource hub for schools to an award-winning producer of innovative education/training materials that are in use across Canada and around the world. Heather is a firm believer in self directed learning and trust. Currently Heather is working on Unschooling School. The premise is this- Not all kids can attend these enlightened (alternative) schools. We already pay for public education. Not all parents are able to unschool at home. So what if we made space for change within schools by choosing not to comply with the age-segregated, curriculum-driven, testing, grading, and homework-laden structures? What if we insisted that our children be allowed to choose what they want to do at school? What if we let them know that there are lots of different avenues to gain acceptance into College or University or start careers?  What if we revealed to them that marks on a transcript are only one of many options? In This Episode In this episode Heather joins me to talk about these possibilities, what Unschooling school means and why she is disrupting education. We explore; The importance of learning things we are interested in Allowing kids to be in charge of their learning Brave parents are disruptors What would it look like to unschool school? The two factors that are paramount in both parents and kids to Unschool school What would society look like if we had consent in our learning and education?

Long time friend and co-conspirator, Heather Moon has many avenues available to express her creativity. In this episode we are discussing her paintings.  We started our friendship back in Rockford Illinois in 2006 when we met at a mutual friends house discussing art, poetry and philosophy.    Heather comes from a long line of artists and has always been painting or participating in art in one form or another. It started with her painting alongside her mother, each of them using brushes and paint. She did her first art show in High school with her parents in an art shop window. Her first success was her senior year in high school where she competed and won an art scholarship for college. Heather's experience in the art scene in Rockford has been much more positive as she has seen the growth and vibrancy whereas I saw the derth after the recession of the early 80's.  Heather praises the Rockford Area Arts Council for creating the environment of collaboration and support vs competition.  (Podcast not supported by RACC, but we support their work.)    We take a little trip down memory lane for Cafe Esperanto where we attended poetry readings and drank rum and cokes and smokes clove cigarettes, Djarum to be exact.  Heather enjoys the scene now that it is more cooperative because she can get her work critiqued more honestly vs someone just saying oh that's nice and not sharing their true feelings.  We discuss our first show together at Phoenix Traders in Rockford. Titled Kimo and The Moon Breakin the Rules. Here is the announcement. This was way back in Sept 2008.  Tim gets into a small rant about businesses not sponsoring this show.  Currently Heather is preparing for the latest Art Scene in Rockford with a number of totem poles.  If you want to see Heather's stuff check out her FB page Viking Moon     We delve into Bob Ross and the impact he has on our lives and art.    First Fridays in Fredericksburg with he trolley is discussed and Heather promises a visit just for the trolley.      We discuss the pricing of art and what it costs to actually cme up with a decent work.  We get into an enthusiastic Satanic Seven Question Session with Heather, of special not is question #3 where Heather refuses to tell cashiers at Walgreens that she is an artist, Walgreens, yet another company not sponsoring this podcast, talk to the cashiers about this and make them sponsor us. Heather scores a respectable  7.5 out of a possible 7.0, yes folks another perfection or greater, how the hell did I only score 3. The judges are getting soft.  Heather's final project would be a mural that brings harmony to the world, lets see how she does in season 2 with this mural.
