There’s nothing quite like the end of the year to help remind you about how busy you’ve been for the past 11 and a half months.

So, to put a bow on our 2018, we’ve got a short list of our best bookkeeping blogs and our guide on how to pay yourself.

If you’re spending a lot of time with us, there’s a decent chance that you’re in the northern hemisphere, and that means it’s winter! Here’s my favorite warm drink recipe, a mexican mocha, as a little treat from me to you this season!

Inside Out Mexican Mocha Recipe

This can be used with a regular 8 ounce cup of coffee or with a double espresso shot :)

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 2 generous tsp of cinnamon

• 2 tsp nutmeg

• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (1 ½ if you like things a little spicy, like me)

• Use 3 Tbsp per serving, mix into a regular cup of coffee or your favorite espresso drink.

• Enjoy!

If you put in the work and follow the steps below, it’s nearly guaranteed that you will be successful.  You will have the freedom to choose when you work, where you work, and who you work for. And if all goes well, you will never, ever have to go work as an employee for someone else again.  

But you’re probably asking how to go about doing that?  A lot of people think that starting a business can be a daunting task. Really it is pretty straightforward if you’re organized and have someone guiding you through the process.

It can be broken down into these simple steps.  

First, you’ll need a name.  When thinking about a name, think about branding and your image.  Do you want the business to be centered around you? Or do you want the business to grow bigger than you....
