E168 Brooke Lively has built her viable and successful business from scratch and "by accident"

So You Want to Start a Business with Ingrid Thompson

Brooke Lively says that she came to realise that most business owners are a little intimidated by their numbers, they don’t know what they're saying and they don’t know how to use them. "People start a business from a point of passion" she says "and they don't have the training and so they feel stressed and frustrated. That's why my business is here - to help small companies become more profitable"

Brooke Lively is Founder of Cathedral Capital which serves as bookkeeper, accountant, fractional CFO to (mostly) law firms

No matter what your business, Brooke has help for you in this episode.

She goes into detail about pricing from a few different perspectives.

She talks about her "Rule of thirds" which is their unique way of working with clients.

Brooke is super smart and funny and cares enormously about her clients and her team.

She has built this highly successful business completely from scratch and "almost by accident"
