Hey, everybody. Welcome to money through ease. This is your host, Regan Bashara. I'm the founder of All Ease Accounting lLC. I started my business in May of 2022 after I quit my job of seven years, where I was miserable and underpaid.
00:00:16
And I'm coming on today to let you know that in my first calendar year of business, my first full calendar year, which was the year 2023, I have replaced the gross income in my business. Well, the gross income of my business has replaced my gross annual wages at any job that I've ever worked. Yay for me. Applause, applause, applause. Right?
00:00:43
I feel pretty good about that accomplishment. I think that that kind of an accomplishment is not something that many people can say who start business is. I don't know how unusual that is, but I think it is unusual. I really put my whole accounting busy into this bitch, and I consider this year a success. However, I did learn a lot, and I am hosting a year end virtual party.
00:01:15
By the time this episode comes out, it will have already happened. But as of the time I'm recording this, I haven't had that party yet. But I want you to know that you can still access the replay of that party if you'd like to. And the reason that you would want to do that, number one, is that it is a tax deductible business expense. It is ordinary for you to pay an accountant for business type services, and it is necessary in that you are going to get a business benefit out of it.
00:01:51
You are going to get a return on your investment because I'm going to be teaching you what the hell happened this year in my business, maybe even some of my personal life stuff, what worked, what didn't, what I won't be repeating what I'm going to continue doing. All of that juicy goodness. You can hear all the tea and the cheesemay and all the drama on that virtual party. So it is being hosted on Zoom. As of the time that this episode releases, registration will be closed.
00:02:20
However, you can still pay to get access to the replay of it. And the second reason, besides this being a tax deductible expense that you would want to access the replay and pay for it, is that that is going to give you access to beta test. My entrepreneurial bookkeeping course. Mind the gap. And I don't know why you wouldn't want to participate in that.
00:02:46
Beta testing is being offered at over 62% off. That discount will never be available again. That discount is available through December 31, 2023. And Mind the Gap isn't going to be launching until I'm planning on May 2024. So if you want to have access to the materials early, you want to be part of the development of new materials in the course, and you want your exclusive invitation to the entrepreneurial community that I'm building and launching on February 1.
00:03:18
You need to get into beta testing so you can still access the replay of my year in virtual party. Learn about all the things that I accomplished in my first calendar year of business. What? I'm going to stop. Doing what I want to start doing what I want to continue doing and get that replay and also sign up for beta testing at the same time.
00:03:40
So go do that. This is a short and sweet episode. I'm going to be taking a little bit of time off at the end of the year, so there might not be weekly episodes coming out anymore, but if there are, then cool. But I'm going to allow myself to have some time off and I would encourage you to do the same if you're able. If you're not able, I want you to explore what that actually means, whether or not you're able to take time off.
00:04:06
I have done episodes about taking time off as a business owner before. This is your cue to go listen to those. This is a short and sweet message this week because I wanted to share with you that beta testing is still available. You can still catch the replay of my year in Virtual Party. Go visit the link in the Show Notes to get that and get signed up for beta testing, y'all, you do not want to miss this.
00:04:28
I have completely uploaded the content and materials for the first part of the course. And that is the part of the course that teaches you my bookkeeping system, and then, beyond that, teaches you how to analyze your reports, set goals for your business. Strategize all that good, juicy material is waiting for you, and it'll be available to you starting January 1. What better time to start a fresh, clean slate in your business than the beginning of a tax year, which most, if not all of you. The beginning of your tax year is January, so I'm giving you access to that content starting in January.
00:05:07
You can get your shit together, you can develop your own bookkeeping system based on my standards, and I'm also going to teach you how to set goals, how to track them, how to reach those goals, how to analyze your business data, use it for planning. January is the perfect time to do all of that stuff, y'all. December is a better time, I think, which is why I'm doing my planning for next year now in December when I'm recording this. But you'll have access starting in January and that's the next best time to start planning for the year is at the very beginning, of course. So check out the link in the show Notes for that information.
00:05:43
And I want to thank you for listening. And if I don't record another episode in 2023, I hope that everybody who listened to my podcast this year had an amazing year, got what they wanted out of it. Learned a lot, made a lot of fucking money. Like, I hope all of those things for you and the same and then some for 2024. Thank you so much for listening to Mind The Gap in 2023.
00:06:09
Not mind the gap. Jesus Christ. Thank you so much for listening to Money through Ease in 2023. Thank you for signing up for Mind The Gap, which is launching in 2024. And I wish you all the best and I'll probably just see you next year.
00:06:24
So thanks. Bye.
