“The courses are amazing. Sole-Prop School paid for itself with tax deductions in one year alone. Make That Money is also freakin’ crazy for planning out your yearly revenue!! I’ve never been so excited about spreadsheets in my life.”
“I’m so happy I did it. I just did my 30 mins of bookkeeping for the month before answering this email and it feels damn good to be on top of my shit now. I get what I’m supposed to do! I feel lucky that you had this program out when you did, just in time for my first tax season as a sole prop. I’m a lucky lady. You’re great!”
“It was mind blowing. I found all of them [the modules] fun. They’re fun because your energy is fun. I LOVE that you can make the most difficult and “boring” topics really entertaining and fun to watch. The way that you present taxes made me actually WANT to tackle that part of my business instead of leaving it to the last minute. You’re super motivating.”
“Taking my business to the next level was stunted by my lack of confidence and knowledge about my business financials. Make That Money gave me such much clarity. It made me take my business more seriously, because I clearly understood what I needed to do to transform it from a weekend craft hobby into an empire that supports me full time. I’m living the dream, and never have to count a receipt [Track That Shiz] again thanks to Sole-Prop School!”
