Business, like life is influenced by the accumulation of all our experiences. An intermit knowledge of the business you intend investing your time and money into is vital. If you have worked on a job all your life and have never owned a business then the transition will be one of the biggest challenges you will have to face. Being fully responsibly for the sustainability of a business with everyone relying on your leadership and for their income is a very different mindset to being on a job where you had a limited responsibility and knew that you would get a cheque at the end of each month.

Bernard ReberBack in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!
