Everybody Needs a Coach


Think of all the people who've coached you during your lifetime. Even as little kids, our parents held out their arms saying, "Come on...you can do it! Take a little step, that's a good girl, YEAH! You did it!" Confidence is such a great feeling!

From the first steps we take to the first ball we hit in Little League, coaches make us believe we can do better. As life progresses, we seem to resist the need for coaching. Almost everything we would like to improve in our business and personal lives would benefit from some coaching. A skilled coach can help us get there faster and easier. Stretching us, making us reach for skills we thought out of reach. A good coach will recognize our weaknesses and give us work to do to improve. The pat we get on the back in acknowledgment of our strengths and improvement can make us stand tall all day long. This is why we feel so strongly about the personal support we offer here at Minutes Matter. Our clients who take advantage of the one-on-one support we offer come away with a feeling of accomplishment and proficiency that is not seen in any other training tools we offer.

If this is the year to master your accounting or take your design renderings to the next level, why don't you try a little coaching? We offer group coaching sessions (which even include a little homework) and private sessions too.

Don't be one who barely skims the surface of what Studio and QuickBooks & Quoting can do for your business. Today's the day to start fully utilizing all aspects of these multi-faceted programs.


QuickBooks "Right Start" | Novice |
(begins January 18th)

"What would it be worth if you had your own CFO working side by side with you for six weeks?"

Well, with the Right Start Coaching Program you can! Our online coaching program is specifically tailored to suit your business needs and offered exclusively through Minutes Matter and WFCP (Window Fashions Certification Program). Vickie Ayres, a Certified QuickBooks Pro Advisor, will guide you through this amazing six-week program.

Learning accounting through trial and error produces unnecessary and costly mistakes. Instead of a haphazardly learning QuickBooks, immerse yourself in this program to learn the most efficient and precise financial practices. Since its a government mandate to keep accurate records, now is the time to create a systematic approach to accomplish your bookkeeping responsibilities.

It's simple and easy. During our Novice program you'll actually create a company, perform tasks, generate reports, and determine your profitability - all from the comfort of your own office. Every week you will receive a lesson handout for that week's Group lesson by email. The handout will include instructions to complete that week's assignment for the project that will be due at the end of the program.

In the advanced level, we'll talk about financial analysis and how to trouble shoot when bad things happen.
