Book Review: CAPITAL GAINES by Chip Gaines Chip Gaines, reality TV star on Fixer Upper, shares both his personal and business journey and what he has picked up along the way! He's definitely not afraid to admit when he has messed up, and we can learn a lot from his experiences! Our 3 Takeaways:... 1 - Fear is immobilizing; don't try to avoid the hard decisions and tasks in life, because in trying to dodge something scary, you may miss out on a beautiful opportunity. 2 - Get rid of the win/lose mentality. If you go in with a winners mentality, you will come away with something positive, even if it is a lesson learned. Sometimes one step back leads to two steps forward. 3 - If you are going to bet, bet on yourself. You won't always win but if you don't at least try, how will you know what is on the other side? #supportlocal #wearegovertical #marketingagency #websitedesign #socialmediamanagement #digitalstrategy #ecommerce #supportsmallbusiness #smallbusiness #stthomasproud #supportelgin #ontsouthwest #londonontario

Everyone loves making money! What most people don't like is keeping the books organized...but that doesn't mean that is not a very important part of a successful business. A tool we can recommend is Wave Accounting (Wave HQ). It can sync transactions from your business bank account, handle all your quoting and invoicing, and is free tool! Best of all, once you get everything setup it will make tax time a breeze. There is no shortage of great business bookkeeping tools out the...re - Freshbooks, Quickbooks, and Sage 50 to name a few. Sign up for a few trials and see what tool works best for your business. What accounting tool do you use for your business? One last thing - don't forget about the upcoming tax deadline! #supportlocal #wearegovertical #marketingagency #websitedesign #socialmediamanagement #digitalstrategy #ecommerce #supportsmallbusiness #smallbusiness #stthomasproud #supportelgin #ontsouthwest #londonontario
