Then get those biz cards printed up as soon as possible. Many new biz owners underestimate pricing their services. As a rule of thumb, you'll want to charge roughly double your current income to maintain the same earnings, assuming you get 40 billable hours of work a week.

However, she also discovered that those same businesses weren't very comfortable in setting-up their accounting software.
