New business advice

Hello everyone,

This is my first thread so I will make it short and easy. I promise. So I am starting a mobile detailing business and I need some information on some good invoices programs. It needs to be itemized, payment option, found my business by etc. I also need to find a great automotive detailing checklist and a existing damage report.

Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Marc

Re: New business advice

For accounting (including invoicing), I'm using Simply Accounting Pro. Not my most favorite account software, but I know it well and it does everything I need it to perfectly.

Re: New business advice

Don't worry about detailing or invoices or anything like that. That's not important for now. Read the following books:

The 4 hour work week by Timothy Ferriss
The E-Myth: Why small businesses don't succeed.
And lastly....anything by Jay Abraham is your bible.

Once you read as many books on business as you can, then start working on your damage sheets, invoices, etc.
