One on One: Kashoo

One on One is a series of reviews. Instead of a long-winded breakdown, I give you a quick summary along with one positive and one negative. In my first One on One review I talked about Wave. I thought I’d keep going through the bookkeeping services I use with my clients, so today I will […]

Don’t Forget About the Big Picture

April is not a good month for reflection. From early March until 11:59PM on April 30th my days are packed. My OmniFocus lists are filled with “File xx”, “Fill out xx”, and “Ask client about xx”. What you don’t see a lot of during this time of year is “Brainstorm xx”, “Test out xx”, or […]

Improve productivity by taking time off

December is the month where being an entrepreneur really hits home for me. As a child this was the greatest time of year. I mentally checked out of school early in the month, and for the most part my teachers accounted for that and let the class coast into the holidays. As an employee it […]

Fighting the winter blues

The days are getting shorter. Although we were blessed with an unusually warm Halloween this year, November was quick to throw snow on the ground and it hasn’t looked back since. When you combine that with the clock going back an hour, we’re now in that part of the year where it’s dark when the […]
