Learning is a life long pastime and this month I'm sharing the 3 things I learned. Nothing major. Just some little things that made my life easier or helped me move a project forward. 

1. I upped my e-mail rules game.
2. I created my first Zap using Zapier, JetPack Workflow and Ignitiion.
3. I learned how to turn on Progress Invoicing in QBO

Like I said, nothing major, just some simple things that prove that you can teach an old accountant new tricks!

Why is marketing so hard for accountants to embrace?

1. Constantly learning
2. Scheduling some focused time
3. Setting a goal of progress not perfection

1. Time is not really money
2. Culture has to start at the top
3. Micromanaging is for managers, not leaders
4. No one is coming to the rescue

This week we take an excerpt from the monthly QuickBooks User Group that was all about Money In. These 4 rules of Money In for your business work through the steps to keep money coming in and give you some common sense guidance on how to keep it simple.

Intuit has announced a major change to the ProAdvisor's wholesale billing discount as retail prices are scheduled to increase by 14 - 25% in coming months.  What does this mean?  For end users paying for their own subscription, this is a direct hit to your bottom line starting in September. For end users who have their bookkeepers paying for their subscription, expect a price increase this summer.  And for accounting and bookkeeping offices, it's time to consider a remote desktop solution as a viable alternative to QBO based on price especially for clients with multiple company files.
