I wanted to get her involved in my business to help with bookkeeping and accountancy tasks like creating invoices and filing receipts.

And she said she would do it, but only if we use Xero because she had experience with it from a previous business and absolutely loves it.

Your tax returns can be filed directly from within Xero as well, which is especially important with the changes to making tax digital.

But what I like most is how easy it is to see what's going on across my businesses.

Revenue, profit, cashflow, all the stuff that I need to be on top of.

So if you're looking for accountancy software, you should 100% check out Xero.

You can get 90% off for six months by going to xero.com forward slash makingmoneypodcast.

The only thing more annoying than an ad slot is compliance.

Facts, but both are crucial.

Compliance often gets in the way of scaling a business because as you grow, you need to prove you're compliant with various rules and regulations for other businesses to work with you.

Compliance is one of those things that you have to do to have a seat at the table, but it takes time, effort, and lots of money, which is why we love Vanta.

If proving your compliance is something that you need to get done, you can get started at vanta.com forward slash making money.

Yeah, because the pursuit of money has given me lots of happiness, to be honest, because it's basically provided me with everything that I have now in the sense of I get creativity through the pursuit of money because I make videos.

In the past, I was working in a typical kind of career that wasn't very creative and I felt very unfulfilled.

I have like purpose in the sense of I educate people on finances and I feel like, you know, people come up to me in the street and be like, oh, you've changed my life.

So in a way, like this drive towards money has given me a lot of those aspects.

What I've become more aware of though as I get older is it doesn't give me relationships and it doesn't, the pursuit of money without spending it doesn't give me memories, you know?

And I think the quote from Diary Zero, the whole life is the business of acquiring memories.
