Ever feel like you’re playing Marco Polo in the dark, trying to figure out how much more you need to learn before you’re “ready” to serve clients?

In this Ask Me Anything episode, I’m answering a question from a listener who’s working part-time at an accounting firm, taking accounting courses, and dreaming of a bookkeeping business that serves creative small businesses and e-commerce sellers. I’m sharing the accounting fundamentals that actually matter for small business owners (and the corporate stuff you can stop stressing about), plus how to keep learning without getting stuck in learning mode forever.
