Another lesson , never , never discount your services. People that ask for discount 1st of all they are not appreciating your effort , 2nd they probably have the most horrible books and 3rd they probably will pay late or not pay. let them go and ghost other people but not you.Thanks
@ thank you for taking your time and share valuable information . That helps bookkeepers not to fall into a scammers trap. That is the right word scamming since they are taking hour time and money .
I did not pursue payment. I chose not to let the matter consume me or take away from moving forward. If I pursued legal action, I would have been consumed by the situation.
Would you say it's unreasonable to take a client to court if your side of the agreement is upheld but your client refuses to pay you even after sending a formal demand letter? I really enjoy your videos and find them incredibly informative thank you :D
I've learned these lessons the hard way too. When I hear, "help me clean up my books", I run as far as fast as I can. Love the idea of a paid diagnostic review.
I recently started to follow you. I am amazed at how humble and professional you are. Great video with actionable and realistic advice. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
It's very helpful for me. Thanks
Thanks for sharing! Great advice.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing your story.
May God continue to give you a long life and a happy life. Bigger doors will open for you.
Blessings.
Thank you so much!

Absolutely. Best lesson I ever learned.

@@noelvisramirezaccounting You're welcome.
Can you make a video on marketing the business?
Hi. Check out my other videos for marketing and sales tips. I also have a paid marketing course for bookkeepers at 5mbacademy.com
What does it mean you "walked away" from it ? Couldn't you sue them or anything related to the BBB ? I don't understand it....

@@5MinuteBookkeeping Makes sense. Sometimes a peaceful mind is worth more than the money.

I am not an attorney so I can't really say what kind of legal recourse is available.
@5MinuteBookkeeping no worries thanks for taking the time to reply tho 😁

I'm glad to hear that. I will not do a cleanup without a paid diagnostic review.
Thanks for sharing your awful experience
You're welcome.
