Pursing the Entrepreneurial Dream

A couple of years ago, I decide that my pursuit of climbing the corporate ladder was fruitless. It wasn't for me...not what I wanted. I craved freedom. I've learned a lot about becoming an entrepreneur, and I'll share what I've learned with you. Getting control of your life again isn't a pipe dream. Financial, professional, and creative freedom can be yours.

What Kind of Bookkeeping Software Do You Use?

Do you use Quickbooks? Peachtree? Open Office Spreadsheets? Post-it Notes?

I’m curious what everyone uses to keep track of their finances. I use a mix of Quickbooks (even though their registration requirements are excessive) and Excel spreadsheets. What do you use?

Post a comment with what you use and why. If you don’t have a business, just post with your personal finance record-keeping preferences. I’m curious to see what everybody else uses, and why they chose to use it. I’ll start.

Quickbooks: Had a lot of great features. Good for a small corporation.
Excel: Needed some custom expense and profit tracking, so I just built it myself.

Your turn…

It’s a quick read with good, simple information. Read it here.
