In the past year, you?d watched your sales plummet to levels you?d never seen before.
It got to the point where you were afraid to even do your books every month. You sometimes thought, ?Why bother? There?s no good news here anyway.?
So you found yourself doing just enough to be sure your bills were paid, and not much else. One late night, after an exceptionally trying day in the shop, you decided once and for all to put all your cards on the table. You pulled all your paperwork together and sat down, ready to learn your fate. You hadn?t used your computer program in a while, so you updated that, and while it was reloading, you started sorting your receipts, bills and other correspondence.
You popped on your reading glasses and started to go through everything with a fine-toothed comb.
Only what you saw wasn?t what you thought you would see. You noticed that all of your expenses had been entered into your log twice! Every month, you noticed two mortgages, two electric bills, two inventory payments.
You couldn?t believe your eyes! Could you really be doing twice as well as you thought? You found that the errors started a year ago when you hired your new bookkeeper, who you?d eventually fired because of something unrelated to her poor accounting skills. Now instead of cursing her, you were thanking her.
