Hi Reader, I'm coming in hot Monday morning with biz tax talkβ¦after the tax deadline finally just passed! How'd you feel about your taxes this year? Super comfortable with the process and submitted them early? Feel like you priced your products well and received the profit to show for it? GO YOU!!!! I hope you took the time to celebrate your awesome self! If you DIDN'T rock tax time, because: a) You don't do taxes because you're still thinking about starting your skin biz (valid reason not to submit any yetπ€£)... b) You didn't factor in all of your business fees and random overhead costs that REALLY added up and attacked your profit... c) You had a heckuva time knowing what to do, what to submit, and still don't know if the numbers on your Schedule C are anything close to correct... ...head over to Paper + Spark to look around while the resources are 20% off until 4/23β (I am a proud affiliate and I only recommend programs I've personally used to create real results in my own business, and Paper + Spark is definitely one at the top of my list!)

She has now helped over 10,000 understand how to track their numbers with her popular bookkeeping spreadsheets & financial resources. I write about her tools in some of my blog posts, but here are the favorites I use for my businesses:

To celebrate the fact that we finally got through tax season (and her new website launch), Janet is offering 20% off ALL her products & bookkeeping templates until TOMORROW.

Hi Reader, Now, you know I love talking about skin care. And business branding. And wellness. Quite the complementary trio of lifelong passions I have over here! But a little-known secret is that I also LOOOVE talking about all things website building. Platforms, website design, SEO (search engine optimization), discovering quick little coding wins...I love it.
