Organizing Biz Books entries by date

Tennille — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 14:40:12 +0000

Occasionally I receive emails asking me how to put Biz Books entries in chronological order by date. Maybe you found an old receipt or entered things out of order…that’s fine because the Biz Books formulas don’t care what order you enter the information. However, many of us do like to see things listed in order. If you are interested in ordering an income or expense tab by date, follow these directions below. If you have questions, feel free to ask!

To order entries by date:
Go to the tab/worksheet you are trying to sort.

Go to the Tools menu, then choose Protection, Unprotect Sheet.

Select the cell that says “Date” and highlight down to the rest of your entries.

In the Menu Bar, go to “Data” and “Sort”. (These menu commands may vary depending on the version of Excel or other spreadsheet program you are using.)

In the pop-up box, choose expand the selection. Keep the default to sort by Date/Ascending, and choose “my list has a header row.”

This should put everything in order. Be sure to go back to the Tools menu, choose Protection, Protect Sheet.

The Biz Buzz is Tennille’s Inside Scoop, along with membership to The Classroom for online brainstorming. The Classroom is an interactive community designed to hold online lessons and discussions (set up like a small forum).

This area of The Classroom is updated regularly as I create new tools for my own business. You can find .psd templates for my:

Investment Guide
Order Guide
Client Trifold
Digital Orders
Referral Cards
Business Cards
Gift Certificates
…and more!

In addition you’ll have access to wording and details for my:

Client Emails
Client Information Site
Baby Plan

I’ve also added samples of my:

Newsletters
Online Forms
Checklists
Workflows

MEMBERSHIP TO THE CLASSROOM
Discussion topics in The Classroom are posted by me, other members of The Classroom, and Mind Your Own Business students. You retain access to The Classroom at all times – there is no expiration to your membership. You can post as much as you like, and as often as you like. I really believe that the more you put into things, the more you get out of things! I take a mentoring approach and participate regularly in The Classroom discussions.

Benefit from access to the following areas of The Classroom:

GENERAL BUSINESS QUESTIONS – Need feedback or advice? Want to brainstorm? Interested in what issues other photographers face with their businesses, how to handle business opportunities, how to word something, or where to begin a project? This area of The Classroom has endless opportunities for help and ideas!

GENERAL PHOTOGRAPHY QUESTIONS – While the focus of The Classroom is on the business of photography, there is a section to ask other photography related questions. Share or browse images for inspiration, or ask technical questions if you like.

SHARING – Business ideas or other tools and templates are shared by me, other members of The Biz Buzz, and Mind Your Own Business students. If you have a creation you want to share, here’s where to put it!

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
Classroom Vendors – a section of The Classroom where vendors post discounts, specials, and prizes.

Guest Speakers – a section of The Classroom where guest speakers will come in to share their knowledge and allow you to pick their brain on a variety of topics that affect our businesses!

Upgrade to the Mind Your Own Business Online Course and Mentoring – if you decide at a later date to enroll in the MYOB course and mentoring program, you can always upgrade your enrollment in The Biz Buzz to the MYOB program for a pro-rated fee.

ENROLLMENT
The Biz Buzz offers open enrollment so that you can join at any time. You can download the items shared in Tennille’s Inside Scoop once your enrollment process is complete. I do recommend you join in on the discussions in The Classroom to gain the full benefits of this opportunity.

SPECIAL: Client Site Discount and Complimentary Biz Books

Tennille — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 19:37:16 +0000

Client Communications Digital + Client Site (click here to purchase) – $250 (regular price $345)

**Additional Bonus**
The first FIVE people to purchase this special will also receive Biz Books as a complimentary gift from TK Business & Design and kimtown! Start 2010 bookkeeping off right with Biz Books, then it’s a breeze come tax time.

If you want a Client Site without the frustration of coming up with the web template, layout, and wording, then the Client Communications Digital + Client Site is the right choice.

Client Information Sites are created by kimtown and come installed with all wording included in Client Communications Digital (fully editable for you to add, delete, or change any wording you prefer). The Client Information Site coordinates with your current branding and site for a seamless feel.

A Client Site is an important communication tool before and during the session process. Clients appreciate having all of the information they need in one place – without having to keep track of paperwork (I am as paperless as possible), and without searching through various emails to find the information they need. It’s convenient, simple yet detailed, modern, and helpful.

Client Communications Digital Includes:
• Access to view my Client Site (and copy & paste any wording you choose to use)
• Client Site document (further details and insight into creating and using a Client Site)
• Investment Guide – (5) psd files
• Session Guide (4) psd files & Order Guide (3) psd files
• Workflow Spreadsheet to track the stages for each client
• Wording for emails sent to clients through the workflow process
