Our CFO, Beth Gummere, has 20+ years of experience cleaning up small business finances. To say that she’s seen a lot over the years would be an understatement.
If you’ve been around for a while, you know that one of our main goals is to help you avoid painful, stressful, costly mistakes that can be prevented with education and discipline. So for this episode of the Kenza Pod, Beth pulled together the top 10 mistakes that she has seen small businesses make time and time again with the goal of helping you to avoid them!
Ultimately, our hope for you is that you can stay focused on selling whatever great skill or product you have, and not have to hire someone like Beth to come clean up mistakes that could have been prevented.

Ep 16: So ya wanna be a... Marketing and Communications Consultant, with Teresa Ruiz Decker

Becoming a parent is a beautiful experience, but for those of us who want or need to continue to build our careers, the juggle can be a real challenge. Here at The Kenza Collective, we are passionate about educating and empowering parents to make the leap from captive employee to full time Independent Professional (aka freelancer, consultant, etc). When you work for yourself, you are free to build a life and a living that supports your family's needs. And in turn, this enables us to raise better humans, cultivate stronger relationships, and prioritize our physical &amp; mental health. Join CoFounders Beth and Tiffany as they teach you what it takes to work for yourself so that you can find freedom in your schedule, your energy, and who you choose to work with. We break down complex financial and tax related topics, teach you how to land (and keep) clients, write proposals, manage projects, and protect your energy - all while juggling your family responsibilities. We also explore the various types of independent career paths out there through talking to parents just like you who've made the leap. Whether you're a parent who is curious about what it takes to go out on your own, or you’ve been doing it for years, this podcast will help you navigate the tricky (but oh so rewarding!) waters of working for ourselves while raising a family.
