With using Hubdoc you first need to know the basics.

I have been using mysms for a while now and it has been a life saver. I can correspond during the day with multiple people quickly and easily, as I can type faster than I can txt. Our team uses it as a great tool for debt collection, it is easy to copy and paste the phone number then send the same message to a group of people.

Do you want to have lots of money, but you can never seem to hold onto it? When someone recently asked me what success looked like to me, it didn’t factor large amounts of money, it was more about having the time to do the things I wanted to do with my family and friends. But to do those things I would probably need money, right? But even thinking about having enough money to do those things seemed to feel wrong. I found myself avoiding anything that would increase my chances of becoming wealthy enough to achieve them. I needed to find out what was behind this reluctance to be successful when I came across Kerwin Rae, who sums it up nicely in one of his videos https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1811129745600761 Basically in all of the story books we read as a child the evil guy was usually rich and the good guy was usually poor. We are encouraged to be kind to our neighbours, look after the less fortunate than us… but in the stories we have been reading that person is more often than not downtrodden and poor. If our values are not in alignment with what we are trying to achieve then nothing will ever line up and we will continue to carry on running around the hamster wheel. So when we try to make money we can’t see ourselves being as insanely rich as these people because they are nearly always seen as bad When it comes to seeing income opportunities that are around us, if we have a value that says having money is bad, we are less likely to see the income opportunities open to us, but if we align having money with our core values, ie family, then we will be open to more opportunities to make money through our business. When the core value is to have more time with our families we can actually link the values together and focus on those values instead of the belief that money is bad. Do you believe you deserve to have everything you have ever wanted?

We have all heard Xero’s catch phrase “Beautiful Accounting Software” and it is, don’t get me wrong I love Xero with a vengeance, but I am the first to admit that it can go so so wrong if it is not set up and maintained correctly.

Wow! that has gone quick! It has been 18 years since I started Smart Bookkeeping. My business is now old enough to drink. I started smart bookkeeping in 2003 after a job interview, I asked the office person that was interviewing me why she was leaving if the job was as good as she said it was. She said she was going to start contract bookkeeping, well that was a light bulb moment for me when I realised that there was nothing stopping me from doing that either. I had been looking for a job that could fit in around my oldest son starting school and this was the answer. I was already doing my partners accounts, so it was a short jump to start taking on other clients. I have not looked back since. In the beginning I have had friends ask me are you ever going to work for someone else again and my answer has and will always be NO, I love what I do, I love what I can do and I intend to do this for many years yet. What do you love doing?

Lets talk about passwords, who reuses the same password all the time? – yep I’m guilty of that. Who writes their passwords down? Who uses a password manager? I have been using Lastpass for a few years now and it has saved my bacon a few times as I have the app on my phone as well. I have a client that I set up most of the accounts for their admin and bookkeeping purposes so I need to keep track of a lot of passwords for them and myself and Lastpass comes in quite handy when I am at their different sites or he has forgotten his password I get the phone call. Imagine if someone found your little black book with all your passwords written in it or it was destroyed in a fire how would you recover all that information let alone the time it would take to do so. Check out Lastpass’s blog on 7 Bad password habits to break http://blog.lastpass.com/2021/01/7-bad-password-habits-to-break-now-2/
