Your Goal? You Are a Detailed Person.....You love working with numbers, ledgers, bookkeeping computer programs and balance sheets. You are loyal, honest and detail-oriented. You have the right talents and training and have the desire to make money for yourself in the comfort of your own home or small establishment. Independent bookkeepers charge anywhere from $25 per hour to $60. Some require a flat monthly fee basis depending on the level of services they offer. So, who are your customers?

| About This Industry... | |||||||
|
...the main goal is: to run it more like a business and less like a hobby
Some small businesses can not afford a full-time bookkeeper and the independent bookkeeper fits the bill in most cases. The small gift shop is too busy handling customers, inventory and the newest product line. The shop owner looks for a bookkeeper and drops off receipts and cash register tapes to record the information in the proper columns. Or, perhaps the accountant outsources bookkeeping tasks to those independent, home-based owners accepting more clients. Attention to detail comes through when the pieces all come together. It is a lot of fun doing something that you truly like and it brings more joy into your life when you have something positive to look forward to. So, why not start-up a home-based bookkeeping service?!
A project of this nature requires hard work and commitment on your part, so you need to study your options and make a business plan that assists you in operating at a profit. It may be easy to perform record-keeping tasks for others, yet as a prospective business owner, we need to look at the variables in setting up a business for profit.
Going into business for ourselves takes effort and is by no means a way to make money the easy way--no such thing. Yet, many with natural talents and abilities are working from home or starting a small business and I am offering a business plan starter-up kit that provides guidance in this direction. Vision with Post-it-Notes Perhaps you have always had a desire to become a home-based business operator/entrepreneur. You work well with others and perhaps make the boss look pretty good at tax time. Maybe its time to do something for "YOU" and initiate the idea! You
might want to start off small if you are currently working full-time. Take
a "test run", so to speak, on a part-time basis. ......more people are turning homeward to make a living Something to consider is the shift in the economy and those becoming self-employed. The 'traditional job' is decreasing in many fields and forcing some to choose home businesses. What if you were to become laid off from your current job and had nothing to fall back on? Do you have business ideas for after-retirement? Having a side-business may provide a little insurance for you. In the unsure times of today, more people are turning homeward to make a living---or at least it assists with extra income. Your Strategy with a Slogan
Does your service satisfy an unfilled need in the area market? Could
your community do well with the services you offer? As you work through
the process of developing a "working plan," you become more knowledgeable
in how to start your business and maintain it. You have the talent and
skills to perform bookkeeping tasks, so why not turn to small business
owners who have neither the time nor expertise to do their own
bookkeeping? Working from home gives you the advantage and offers a
valuable service to the small business owner. Your strategy: a written business plan and a guide on how to set your business up, acquire customers, determine services and evaluate the market. A Business Plan makes you "think strategy." ......... the business plan conveys your goals and demonstrates how you will start your business and operate it on a daily basis. Perhaps you seek a small business starter loan; you'll need a business plan!
Answer this: If your life continues in the same direction it is now...
and keep putting in those long hours at work. Or, you can start a plan of action that builds your reputation and builds your business. Do this for YOU and visualize what you will be doing one year from today!
Book or PDF formats are fixed formats, therefore, these business plan kit files are emailed to you for digital convenience in Microsoft Word format and are printable and modifiable. You can also order the CD-Rom. The business plan section is formatted as self-directed home study, to be completed at your own pace.
NOTE: There are several business start-up programs on-line, yet this package is for those desiring to initiate the stages of setting up their business and who already has some talents and skills in the field of bookkeeping. This analytical process guides your strategy, marketing and business tactic.

| Your Lifestyle | |||||||
......more people are turning homeward to make a living With any job, you must look around at your ‘current living situation’ and ask yourself what lifestyle would you prefer? How would you change your current lifestyle to fit the prospect of running your own business. Does your current lifestyle offer advantages to the start-up of a business? Benefits of a
home-based business or small business include more freedom to spend time
with your family or care for your children (or aging parent). Perhaps its
a diversion or positive change from your current position that you are
looking for.
Either way, this may enable you to save money on the side. If you're searching for a new avenue of income and want the freedom of working at home, perhaps its time.

|||||||
| Your Background | |||||||
As
for education, most do not have degrees...just years of experience,
special course work, community college classes, the talent and the
willingness to be an entrepreneur. It's up to you as to how you might
use a degree/certification or not (if one is had), yet word of mouth and
building your honest reputation is key to a successful venture. Basic
knowledge of the industry is needed and the willingness to learn more.
