Manage episode 520617664 series 3610833
#685 Ever thought a “boring” business could be your golden ticket to freedom and flexibility? In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, we chat with Kate Johnson, founder of Heritage Business Services, who built a thriving bookkeeping business during preschool pick-up hours. What started as a $0 side hustle turned into a profitable, scalable career — all by tapping into a skill most businesses desperately need but few entrepreneurs want to learn themselves. Kate breaks down the real path to getting started in bookkeeping, the essential skills you need, and how to know if this unglamorous (but wildly rewarding) business could be a fit for you. Whether you're looking for a side hustle or a full-fledged business, this episode is packed with practical steps, honest insights, and encouragement for every aspiring entrepreneur!
