Tea Time: Maggie Takes Pix

What's the best business advice that you've ever given or received?

Probably the best business advice I've ever received was know your worth.

And then add tax.

Because it's so easy to want to you got to be everything to everybody, but then you're nothing to nobody because you know, people want to, if, if you've got a heart condition, you want to go to the cardiologist.

You don't want to go to the podiatrist.

He doesn't know a thing about your heart.

So that's why I specialize and stick with it.

What is a common myth about your industry? That

it's super easy.

All I do is take this little machine, and I push a button, and everything comes out great.

I can testify that it is not, because I'm not good at pictures, and everyone will tell you that.

I am horrible.

Yeah, it's just not that easy.

What's one thing that you wish you had known before starting your business?

Oh, gosh.

how to run a business, how to run a small business.

I was office administrator for larger organizations and for nonprofits, but doing it on your own is a completely different animal, especially if you're a solopreneur.

And so you are now, you are not, not only the accountant, but you're the marketing team.

You're the, Oh, and by the way, you do the operations and all of the things.

It's just, it's a completely different animal.

And so, yeah, I wish I had known better how to run a small business.
