Today, we go back on the journey of where we started and discuss the mistakes we made and the lessons we learned. We share everything we wished we knew when we started — from basic bookkeeping and accounting to choosing the right software, tools, and infrastructure we wish we implemented sooner.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Shaun and Rebecca are hosting the KBIS Panel
- Shaun and Rebecca’s early days in business and the journey they’ve been on since
- Their toolbox when they launched and how they got their first clients
- Projects from their first year taking on clients — their charges, the very basic tools and processes they used
- Mistakes they made – no business structure, setting unrealistic rates, unclear project scopes, etc
- Lessons on bookkeeping software options, choosing the right accounting partner and proper business banking/accounts
- Tips for newbies just starting out, as well as those looking to take their business to the next level
- Designers often delete old projects and content from their websites as their style and clientele evolve — use Wayback Machine to track changes
- Things to do if you have no portfolio — create mood boards, design plans, or spec sheets to show your design skills
