#116 Housekeeper and Bookkeeper – Money Well Spent
May 22, 2019
My housekeeper loves what she does. How do I know? Every two weeks I walk in the door and I stop for a moment to breathe in the “smell of clean”. She is amazing and having a clean and tidy home are important to me – I don’t particularly enjoy doing it myself (nor am I very good at it) and I make no excuse for my lack of domestic passion – my gifts lie in other areas. My housekeeper makes my life so much easier and makes me so much happier.
My bookkeeper also brings a ton of value into my life. I could go on forever about the value in having a bookkeeper – how could I ever course correct in my biz if I couldn’t check in regularly to see how I am doing? Collecting receipts and putting them aside until the end of year is a recipe for leaving money on the table. You can’t map out a plan for where you want to end up if you have no idea where you are. A good bookkeeper will keep you on top of all that.
I like to expend all of my energy in the places where I get the most joy – neither of those have anything to do with keeping a tidy home or tidy books. But don’t get me wrong – I do appreciate the value that each of these bring. They both help me to show up as the best business woman I can be.
Some folks say they can’t afford it but the truth is, in both cases, it’s money well spent. They free me up to do what I am good at and they keep me happy. I feel so grateful to have these two people in my life – they’re amazing at what they do.
I must remember to give them both a big hug when I see them again.
