The only thing I was really good at in the beginning… was bookkeeping. When I first started, I didn’t even think of it as a business. I just wanted a job — a way to pay the bills. Over time, things grew. I hired staff, rented an office, gave benefits like 401(k), and on the outside it looked like I had “made it.” But the truth? I was miserable. I was working nonstop just to cover overhead. I stressed every month about keeping my team busy and making payroll. I took on any client I could, even if they weren’t a good fit, because I thought I had no choice. Sound familiar?
At first, sales dropped by 40%… and I thought it might be the end. But my expenses dropped by 70%. For the first time in years, I could breathe. And more importantly, I could see clearly: my business didn’t need to look like everyone else’s. I could rebuild it on my own terms. So I did. I cut the office. I downsized staff. I refocused on clients I actually enjoyed working with. I stopped taking “anyone with a checkbook” and started choosing who I wanted to serve. And it changed everything.
