Welcome back to the Stay at Home Bookkeeper podcast! In today’s episode, Deanna Rogers sits down with her friend and powerhouse entrepreneur Tamar Hermes, the founder of Women Growing Wealth. Tamar Hermes shares her journey from climbing the corporate ladder in television to building financial freedom through real estate investing and guiding other women to do the same.

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn business success into lasting personal wealth or if you keep asking yourself, “How do I make sure my hard work leads to real freedom?” - you’ll want to stick around. In this conversation, Tamar Hermes reveals the practical (yet often-overlooked) habits that every business owner should have, why managing your personal “wealth column” matters as much as your business income, and how to avoid the most common financial pitfalls that trip up even seasoned entrepreneurs.

We’ll also dig into topics like building work-life balance, getting comfortable with imperfect starts, and making space for the ideas that really align with your dream life. This episode is packed with both wisdom and super-actionable tips that’ll help you step into the next level of freedom - whether you’re just getting started or already scaling your business.

Welcome back to the Stay-at-Home Bookkeeper podcast! In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to build a bookkeeping business from scratch - and why it’s so much more than just numbers.

Emily Kern and Deanna Rogers sit down with Kristie Lawson, the powerhouse Student Success Coordinator at the Stay-at-Home Bookkeeper Academy, who shares her raw and inspiring journey from overworked, undervalued employee to fulfilled business owner (and homeschool mom of four!). Kristie dives into how she took the leap - even when it felt scary - and how she’s built a business for her family, with her family.

You’ll hear real talk about:

- The not-so-glamorous breaking point that sparked Kristie’s transformation,
- What bookkeepers actually do (versus CPAs - and why both matter),
- Building a business that fits your life,
- How procrastination and sticky notes can go hand-in-hand with success,
- The reality of learning-as-you-go and embracing imperfect action.

If you’ve ever wondered if bookkeeping is really the door to more freedom and flexibility - or questioned if you’re “experienced enough” to make a change - this conversation is your sign that possibilities are closer than you think.
