You went virtual, so you were, you focused more on virtual bookkeeping. Yeah, I can see why that would have been really valuable to your business. I mean learning Internet marketing, having another business, transcription, business administration, that sort of thing, and then bringing it to where you are today. So, so many I think unique to the industry experiences that you brought together. So big long history there, but it was, I say I was the accidental trainer and a thought leader in the bookkeeping world. So then I started a separate blog for them, which is how the freelance bookkeeper was started.

I created that because I was attracting so many bookkeepers who wanted to work virtually like I was working and they wanted me to teach them how to do that, but they were doing it on my blog, which was confusing to the business owners. I still do a lot of consulting and in fact I do more consulting now than ever, but it also was where my blog, the freelance bookkeeper was born. Hopefully, that's helpful for others to see a path that they can go in. GF: 04:28 And then once you train them, ultimately you know you're doing cleanup work and you end up getting the bookkeeping work. And then also I found that business owners wanted me to train them as opposed to fix their books. I got lots of business from that, but I also attracted a lot of bookkeepers. Uh, but then it morphed into what happened is I learned that I learned Internet marketing and I started with a blog that was a video blog that taught, you know, practical ways to help business owners use QuickBooks to improve their business. And that was in 2003 when I, but I also decided I would do it totally myself, no employees, and be a highly paid consultant.

You know, I became a pro advisor and, and all those things. GF: 03:34 And I decided that I would start a business and I had the romantic idea that I was going to be in the bookkeeping world more and clean up QuickBooks books.
And then when I relocated I decided, okay, I can go get a job or I can start a new business. And then I sold that business and relocated. Um, so I dabbled, I guess you'd say in the accounting side, but it was primarily a, you know, secretarial service slash transcription business for many years.

And then I also did professional taxes with that.

But I did full charge bookkeeping for a few clients. I did a lot of transcription for the insurance profession and I had employees and subcontractors and so forth. Basically, my business was focusing in on transcription. GF: 02:28 Well really I started off with, well we used to call it many years ago, started in 1990 so I'm old with a secretarial service and then later they were called, um, administrative support business, you know, cause nobody wanted to be called a secretary. And so before we get into all the knowledge and wisdom you have about this industry, tell us a little bit about your career leading up to this point. What those things need to me is that you are passionate about what you do and you have spent a lot of time, in fact probably close to a lifetime working at being who you are today. And I'm sure there is a long list of other accolades that we could put into your bio and that's why I was so excited to have you on the podcast.
