In this episode, Rachel meets with Kimberly, a newbie in her business, Sunny Skies. She had two decades as a W-2 bookkeeper and decided it was time to branch out. She works from a remote Wyoming ranch, she's jazzed to blend her bookkeeping experience with a her personal touch, she wants to build deeper connections with clients beyond the numbers. She's all about bringing a "warm and full of hugs" approach to the experience her clients have with her. She talks about her fears and working through them.
