Episode Twenty Two - Navigating Doubts and Seeking Experienced Guidance in Bookkeeping
In today's episode of Gentle Frog's Bookkeeping Lilypad, Rachel Barnett dives into the parallels between learning Pilates and learning to be a bookkeeper for small businesses. She shares her personal experience of doubting her Pilates technique based on seeing others perform an exercise differently and applies this to the experience of seeing answers in online forums and how just because someone is confident, doesn’t make them right.  Rachel encourages listeners to seek advice from those who've truly walked the path before, highlighting the value of authentic experience over mere opinion.   Facebook Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/gentlefrogsbookkeepinglilypad Pilates machine: https://www.pilates.com/collections/pilates-reformers/ Seth David / Nerd’s Guide to the Galaxy: https://www.nerdenterprises.com/a/2147522163/DyoHDAZY (affiliate link but it’s free) Becky Frampton / Pachira Business Solutions: https://pachirabusinesssolutions.com/ Gentle Frog VIP offer: https://www.gentlefrog.com/vip-offer/ Varonica Wasek / 5 MB Academy course: https://courses.5mbacademy.com/courses/shopify-bookkeeping-method Seth David / Nerd Enterprises courses: https://www.nerdenterprises.com/a/2147505668/DyoHDAZY (affiliate link) Ron Baker and Ed Kless / The Soul of Enterprise Podcast: https://www.thesoulofenterprise.com/ Mark Wickersham / Value Pricing: https://www.wickersham.co.uk/ Ski Skirt Example: https://www.columbiasportswear.ca/en/c/women-bottoms-shortsskorts/?prefv1=Warmth&prefn1=productTechnology My other podcast, Gentle Frog’s Landing Pad: https://gentlefrogslandingpad.podbean.com/
