In a world inundated with digital platforms and social media, the longing for genuine connection is as real as ever. Whether it's the thriving communities of Facebook like ACTIVATE, the varied gatherings facilitated by Meet Up, or exclusive memberships championed by organizations like Entreprenista League, the motivation remains the same—we all crave belonging.

I'm not a tax preparer, but I am a business owner. One of the first things I did for myself when I started Abambyh Business Coaching was to set up a QuickBooks account. I also have conversations with many of my clients about getting their own QB accounts because it streamlines so much and is an enormous aid in organizing data. I am a huge proponent of knowing your numbers, and QB makes that easy. If you don't know your numbers, you can't plan for anything — the numbers never lie.

Tax season can be a stressful time for small businesses. From organizing receipts to ensuring compliance with tax regulations, the process can feel overwhelming. However, with the right tools that QuickBooks provides at your disposal, navigating tax season can be a breeze. In this blog post, we're taking a look at three essential QuickBooks tools that can help small businesses not only survive but thrive during tax season.

In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, the adage "you have to spend money to make money" holds more truth than ever. As a business owner, your primary focus should be on growth and scalability—achievements that often require financial investment. Whether it's outsourcing tasks or purchasing tools, spending actual money (more on this later) on your business allows you to concentrate on what you do best while leaving other essentials to the experts.

Abambyh became Alison's AIM username. Then her email address. Then her username for other apps. Eventually the name took over. (At one point during a family dinner with aunts, uncles, and cousins, the group began asking about it, "What is Abambyh!?" They would try to pronounce it. She just kept saying, "It's not a word!")

In 2019, Alison Hartrum had everything she thought she’d wanted. Between her corporate job and rental properties, she was making between $200k and $250k per year. She wasn’t yet thirty years old, but she was already in an excellent place in her career; her income was substantial (even considering the $555,000 in mortgages she was paying off), and being single and childless, her responsibilities other than work and property ownership were few.

We know that Prospecting is nothing more than building and developing relationships. But the simplicity of this statement belies the complexity of actual implementation. Who is my audience? Where is my ideal clientele to be found and how do I reach them? What are the methods at which I excel?

Networking is a necessary facet of business. Your business needs connections to thrive. Yet many business owners and entrepreneurs don’t have a clear idea of how to build a network, how to forge those connections.

As a female entrepreneur, you know that networking is essential to growing your business. But with so many virtual events and online communities, it can be easy to forget the power of in-person connections. That's why I'm thrilled to invite you to CONNECT — A Retreat for Networking Women, a unique opportunity to connect with other like-minded women in business.

Christel Gutierrez is brilliant and motivated. She has a strong drive to succeed and to help others, and she’s always had plans for what she wanted out of her life.

But there were so many choices for where to focus her efforts, and she already had so many responsibilities that pulled her in different directions, that she felt somewhat lost, unsure when it came to taking the steps needed to move forward.

In 2022, Christel learned about a resource that she knew could help her: Abambyh Business Coaching. She purchased the Business Prompt Deck that Abambyh had designed and made the decision to attend their RESTORE Retreat.

At Abambyh Business Coaching, our email addresses are not derived from our names or titles. They're not random collections of letters and numbers or bland words like “info”, either. From the inception of Abambyh, Alison Hartrum had a different idea of what she wanted for her team’s email communication.

She asked each of us to carefully choose a word that precedes the "@abambyhbusiness.com" portion of our email address and to have something very specific in mind when we did so: what we want to see happen, both for ourselves and for our clients.

Before we get into the choices we made, let's back up a bit and talk about the idea of manifestation, a practice that has been popular for some time because it’s repeatedly been proven to work.

I’m excited to share my latest feature from the Entreprenista website! Entreprenistas’ mission is to celebrate the stories of women business leaders and learn from the lessons of the women that are paving the way forward. I’m thrilled to have contributed my story and shared the early days of building my business, challenges, and wins along the way, and what being an Entreprenista League member means to me.

In the beginning of 2022, Faith Bonareri-Rich was stuck.

She had loved her home in New York City, adored her family, and enjoyed her job as a teacher.

But she often daydreamed of the magical landscape of Kenya, the setting of her childhood. Faith had fallen in love with the country as a child in Nairobi, visiting the national park every Sunday with her father and being drawn in by the fascinating animals and natural splendor. She had pen pals who would come visit her from other countries, always fascinated by her village as well as Maasai Mara.

Reading is a favorite pastime for many people and has been for centuries. It opens our minds to new ideas, possibilities, and worlds.

But in these ever-changing times when things are getting more and more fast-paced and finding spare time seems an impossible task, it’s hard to justify sitting down to read. There’s just so much else to do and so little time to do it.

It’s no secret that there’s been a gender wage gap since women first entered the workforce.

And, when it comes to charging what they’re worth, women entrepreneurs often still fall short. Reasons vary, but a lack of self-confidence may top the list. We think it’s time to bridge the gap between self-worth and setting prices …and give you an idea of what you should be charging for your products and services. (Chances are, it’s A LOT more than what you’re charging now!)
