Get out of your head!

This entire program is designed to help you TAKE ACTION. We will be completing our Confidence-to-Clients Challenge. You will be posting dares in our Cohort Facebook Group. This will help you build your confidence, learn perfection isn't necessary, and help you realize that taking messy action is far better than waiting for everything to be perfect.

This challenge will help you get over your fears of putting yourself out there and posting on social media, and at the same time, it will build confidence in your abilities as a bookkeeper.

Here's what others are saying about the Cohort...

“This cohort was a game changer for my business. It helped me realize the ways I have been limiting myself and letting fear keep me stuck. Through the challenges, I practiced using my voice and stopped keeping myself small. I realized the power of having a community behind me, all working together with a shared goal. I proved my fear wrong: I didn't receive judgment when I put myself out there. Instead, I received lots of support and opportunities that were there the whole time. I just needed to be open to them.” - Sara Walls

"I am so shocked, excited, and terrified all at the same time. This challenge and the Build Your Confidence workshop are coming in handy. I went to search the name of someone I know on LinkedIn yesterday to message him and another person I know, which I hadn’t even thought of, popped up. I decided to go ahead and message him as well. Last night I got a message from him saying that he uses QuickBooks and his business is really starting to ramp up and he hasn’t done a good job keeping up with his books. He was interested in learning more. So we have scheduled a meeting!!! [Then later...] I officially got my first diagnostic review from one of the people I connected with during the challenge!!” - Heidi Miller-Ford

“I had two people reach out to set up an apt with me! So looking forward to keeping up the steps we used in this challenge!” - Patricia Fox

“I did my daily ‘reach out to 3 people.’ Within seconds I got a reply from my ex client saying her boyfriend just started a sheet metal company last December and they have no bookkeeper. They were thinking about getting a QBO account to start getting ready for tax season. She asked me if I could assist. Of course I said yes!” - Veronica Calvillo

“I am really excited tonight! I have two diagnostic reviews scheduled, one for tomorrow evening and one for Sunday afternoon. Both are with people I have known for a few years and the timing of my reaching out was perfect. They both are in need of a bookkeeper and there I was, sending them messages! I definitely owe so much to the 321 Cohort.” - Cathy Duncil

My 100% Money Back Guarantee to You

Actually signing up the client is up to you, but if you take all of the necessary steps in this course and do not conduct at least one diagnostic review/consultation, we'll give you your money back.

Got Questions? We've got answers!

Will there be any other costs involved?

No! All of the methods we're going to teach you are totally free. We do recommend a couple of things, however:

1) You must be a certified QBO ProAdvisor. The entire program is designed around promoting this expert status. If you need help passing the test, you can purchase our course at a discount and get certified in about 5 hours (details below).

2) You will need marketing prompts. These are available in the QBO Gym (details below), or you can come up with them yourself.

3) We will not teach you how to do a diagnostic review. If you do not know how to do this, you can purchase our Cleanup course (details below) or use one of the many other resources available online.

Do I need to learn technology?

Yes! Before the first day, you will need to set up the following:

1) If you use LinkedIn for your current job and are unable to use that account for your personal business, your only option will be to set up a business account. This is not recommended, as small business owners want to do business with people and not businesses; however, if this is your only option, it is what you will need to do. This may affect your results of the cohort.

2) Alignable account. You will receive training on how to use Alignable for growing your referral network and connecting with referral partners.

3) Canva account. You will receive training on how to use Canva for your marketing, but you must sign up for your account on your own.

4) Calendly account. You will need this (or another app) so that people can make appointments with you.

5) Facebook account. Our private Facebook group is where you will connect with your peers in the group, and honestly, it's where the magic happens. If you are not on Facebook, you will not be able to participate.

Will I need to attend live calls?

No. We will have a Kickoff at the beginning and a Momentum Meetup in the middle of the monthly cohort. These will be recorded and replays will be available. The specific details of dates and times will be listed in the Events section of the Cohort Facebook Group.

You will also receive pre-recorded training and instruction.

Do I have to have my business set up?

No. If you are not set up to actually take clients, that's fine. You will still build your marketing muscle and understand what is required when it's time to get off the ground. The only thing that is required at this point is to be a certified QBO ProAdvisor (see below).

Can I get started later in the month?

No. There is prep work that needs to be done before the cohort starts each month, so we have set the cutoff for the cohort enrollment to the 23rd of the preceding month

What are the details of the guarantee?

You must follow all instructions and participate in all aspects of the program. This includes setting up and using the technology that we recommend and reporting your 3 daily reach outs, 2 weekly connections, and posted QBO Tips.

If you complete all the tasks as instructed and do not land a least one diagnostic review/consultation, you will receive your money back for the cost of participating in this cohort. (This does not include any additional courses you may decide to purchase below.)

Something came up. Can I transfer to a different month?

No. The Getting Clients Cohort is not a self-paced course. When you sign up, you are assigned to a monthly cohort. You are to complete the cohort in the month that you were assigned to. It is not extended or put on hold because you aren’t able or choose to not participate.

We understand life happens, but once your cohort begins, we’re unable to move you to a different cohort. If you need to request a change, you must submit that request before the first day of your cohort month (e.g., before June 1st for a June cohort).

Now Let's Do This!

P.S. The cut off date for enrolling in next month's cohort is the 23rd day of the month. For example, if you sign up by February 23rd, you will be assigned to the March Cohort. If you sign up February 24th through March 23rd, then you will be assigned to the April Cohort.
