BUSINESS EXIT

FREEDOM GATEWAY

Applied what I learned from Day 1 and built a business I eventually sold for over a million dollars.

REVENUE GROWTH

FREEDOM GATEWAY

60% revenue increase in the first year. Computer off by 5pm. I went from technician to strategist — and now I get to show other bookkeepers it's possible too.

60% revenue growth year one

GROWTH IN 4 YEARS

SCALE

Grade 10 education. I bought my employer's Pure Bookkeeping practice and grew it 440% in four years. The $30K coaching investment paid back in two months. I am enough.

REVENUE GROWTH

FREEDOM GATEWAY

My husband died in a car accident while I was seven months pregnant with our third child. I rebuilt the business from a one-day-a-week filing job. Mindset was the biggest unlock — 35% revenue growth in one year.

30 hrs

PER WEEK

FREEDOM GATEWAY

I work max 30 hours a week, take cruises during tax deadlines, and have a 2-3 month waiting list. I did not start my business to build a bookkeeping empire — and it's okay to say no.

ON REFERRALS

FREEDOM GATEWAY

Five years ago I said '$2,000 a month would change my life.' Now I run a $250K+ firm on referrals alone, and I'm aiming for a million by 40.

VALUE

7 SECRETS

The Seven Secrets Seminar and Michael Palmer are a 10 out of 10 in value. I've since become a licensee of the Pure Bookkeeping System and we're implementing it throughout the business.

Became a PB licensee

PRICING

I was in a rut. The 7 Secrets taught me to charge more because I was undervaluing myself, to create different revenue streams, and to open my market. Perfect timing.

Raised rates, opened market

PRICING

The most valuable things I learned were how to present and value myself. It changed my thinking about restructuring the business to serve clients at a higher price and let go of the low-price ones.
