Are You Running Your Business As A Business? Or Are You A H.O.?
 Do you have an expensive hobby or do you own a business? Do you even know?
I'm constantly amazed at the number of business owners I come across regularly who don't kno wher they stand financially at any given time. If you don't keep an up-to-date record of your income and expenses, how do you know if what you're putting all your effort into - your blood, sweat, and tears, as they say, is even worth your time?
I'm so intimately familiar with this situation because I used to live it. Imagine my horror at tax time a few years back, when I found out that my outgoing was greater than 50% of my incoming. YIKES!
I was spending all of my waking hours working IN my business - doing and directing client tasks, marketing for new clients, and so on, and so on, that didn't raise my nose out of my computer long enough to realize that I was falling deeper and deeper into debt. Digging a hole that's oh so hard to climb out of. I was so busy chasing the almighty buck, I didn't realize it was going out faster than it as coming in.
This is a definite cue to learn from my mistakes. (Remember, I always say, "OTHER people's experience is the best [and fastest] teacher."
Here's what you should start doing right now:
Make sure your recordkeeping is up to date and kept up on a regular basis. This can be something as simple as a spreadsheet where you keep track of income and expenses, or as comprehensive (and useful!) as using a program like Quickbooks.
Analyze your P & L. Create profit and loss reports and review them regularly. Are you making money? That's ultimately the objective of owning our businesses, isn't it?

Level Up! Fast-Track Business Booster System
"They" say, "Experience is the best teacher." Baloney. I say, "OTHER PEOPLE'S experience is the best teacher." Fast-track your success by learning from me - someone who's been there, made plenty of mistakes and finally figured out strategies to create an abundance of clients and ulimately, a successful 6-figure business.
If you're a service-based entrepreneur: virtual assistant, online business manager, copywriter, social media expert, shopping cart guru, SEO specialist, graphic designer, etc., who is not seeing the results you want in your business, and you're stumped despite your best efforts to the contrary, or if you're feeling restless and tired of mediocrity, this could be the year you change it all.
So, if you're ready and serious to do the work, I'm looking for highly motivated, action-oriented and determined virtual business owners to work with over the next 365 days to work on improving their business and up-leveling their success.
Simply said, you need a business coach and mentor, someone who's seen it all and experienced much of what there is to experience, and knows EXACTLY what you're going through.
You need to get on track -- and fast. And that’s what LevelUp! FastTrack is all about!
If you could wave a magic wand and have one major thing change in your business that would help skyrocket your income, see you taking more time off, establish you as an expert, and have clients beating a path to your door – WITHOUT you burning out in the process, what do you think that one thing would be?
A reliable, butt-kicking, firm-but-gentle and objective accountability partner who knows the virtual business ropes from the inside out.
Because I plan to really have my hands on your business over the course of the next year, I can only take 12 people. So I’ll be selecting the 12 I think I can make the biggest difference with, those who are really committed to changing whatever may need to be changed. Are you one of those 12 people?
