The Simply Booked Podcast

016. Paying Yourself Isn’t a Bonus. It’s the Whole Damn Reason This episode is a loving but firm reality check for anyone whose business only works when they are constantly pushing, launching, and holding their breath between Stripe notifications. If your income disappears the moment you slow down, that is not freedom. That is fragility. In this conversation, Lisa breaks down why stability is one...

My Business Didn’t Fall Apart When My Life Did In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a season of life that tried its absolute best to knock me flat. Between losing multiple family members, saying goodbye to both of our rescue pups, and feeling like the sky wouldn’t stop breaking open, I made one quiet, radical choice. I stopped everything that wasn’t essential. No growth. No posting....

The number one biggest reason I see businesses putting off hiring a bookkeeper? Hint: it’s not because they aren’t ready to hire one. In fact, they KNOW they need to hire one, and do it sooner rather than later. But there’s one problem: Their books are a mess. Maybe they’ve been mixing personal expenses with business. Maybe they don’t use a great system. Maybe they simply don’t know what they’re d...

Last time, I chatted a bit about The Profit Society, and what it has to offer for you. However, nothing can demonstrate the impact it makes better than a firsthand account from one of our members, so… Everybody, please welcome my wonderful guest, Meagan Hurley, who came on the podcast today to talk all about what joining The Profit Society has done for her! If you’re not quite ready to hire a book...

You shouldn't ever feel pressured into hiring a bookkeeper.   It can be an incredible weight lifted off your shoulders, yes. It can be a huge asset to you and your business, yes. But if you're not actually ready to hire a bookkeeper for whatever reason—whether that be because you don't have the cash flow or the sales or it simply doesn't feel right—you shouldn't go against your instincts and...

I’m not coming to you alone today, friends… I’ve asked one of my wonderful clients, Catherine Andrews, to come on the podcast and chat! When we had our discovery call together, I just knew Catherine and I were going to work together, and it’s been an amazing partnership ever since. She’s here today to talk about what bookkeeping offers to business owners, what it’s like being a highly sensitive in...

In the last episode, I talked all about my big leap to outsource my podcast, and in this episode, I'm going to talk about if it's time for YOU to take a big leap and start outsourcing. If you find yourself constantly putting off, dreading, and avoiding financial tasks in your business it may be time to start outsourcing them. Finding someone you trust to outsource frees you up to do the things you...

I took a big, big leap in my business recently, guys... I OUTSOURCED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME! Now, I know what you're probably thinking: "What do you mean, you outsourced your podcast? Why do you need to do that? Don't you just hit record and then upload the file?" The answer? I WISH it was that easy...and now that I've outsourced it, it actually sort of is! If you're on the fence about outsourcin...

My first employee was not actually a human; it was a software platform. This software platform does SO MUCH, you guys! So much that once I realized that I have been able to justify NOT hiring a human for the first 10 months of my business thanks to this do-it-all software.

The idea of BALANCE can get a bad wrap sometimes. Some say it is unachievable and, therefore, shouldn’t be attempted. Others claim to have their life so perfectly in balance that it seems their version is what we should strive for, but it isn’t one size fits all. I love analogies, and riding a bike seems to fit best. I dive into my enneagram type and hormonal cycle-syncing to help explain my defin...

What words come to mind when you think of SIMPLICITY? If you are like me, and strive for simplicity, and seem to fall short every time because it is so easy to over-complicate things, this episode is for you.
