Interesting day

I woke up this morning with a feeling that I was going to need all the help that I could get from my Father. I wasn't sure why but there was just this feeling of dread. I walked into my first appointment and found my client pretty upset. This one has been a bit of a challenge. It's one that I bought from a bookkeeper moving on to working for one company. There's been a lot of little things that I'm finding out the hard way and wasn't mentioned in the few hours of training that I got. This one could have been a pretty serious one but luckily a rent increase on a large amount of rent wasn't every year but every 5 years, since they just did the lease this last year we were fine, but her client is fit to be tied since they apparently don't realize it's not every year. It just makes me sick to have to learn things the hard way but that tends to be what happens when there isn't much time for training! I will add on that there's a spreadsheet that mentions whether or not there's a CPI (Consumer Price Index) increase and the lady said everything I'd need was on that spreadsheet. Nope, I need to look at the file if it says no CPI increase for the tenants. My client made the comment that today went a lot smoother then she expected considering all that was going on. I really feel that my Father had a lot to do with how smooth it did go with her as upset as she was.

It did end on a good note at another clients. They're a partnership and they have a really good CPA that is one of those that will go to the clients place and sit down and help the, and even better he charges a reasonable rate. He gave them very good advice about partnerships and the downfalls. I loved what my client said. A partnership is like a marriage but without the love involved. It's actually very true.

I also did an analysis of my business this week and although it tends to be tight I actually did make up the income that I lost this last year. And I've only lost one this year and it was really due to personality conflict. He wanted high energy and I am not a high energy person! The only other loss was one that went in house so I officially have a pretty much full time solid base! I kind of feel like this last few years I've been on automatic with my work as I recovered emotionally from what happen with Dave.  The exciting part is I can feel my energy coming back for the business so I'm excited to see what this next year brings. Again, I really feel this has to do with my Father. Is there much extra? Nope! But is there enough to live on and pay taxes. Yep! Will it be tight? Yep! But there has been provision and there will be provision. It's about trust.
