info_outlineEven when companies are raking in 6- and 7-figure sales, too many business owners end up working so many hours, and paying themselves so little of the profits, that they actually make minimum wage (or lower). Our guest this week is an expert in helping entrepreneurs reverse the trend and actually pay themselves what they’re worth.
Tuesday P. Brooks, MBA is a business owner, educator, and trusted tax and accounting advisor whose company, AJOY, is committed to improving profitability of women-led micro and small business enterprises.

Here’s a Glimpse of What You’ll Learn:

- Why accounting and taxes end up being such a big problem for business owners, and the role that fear plays

- Why day-to-day impact is the biggest measurement of success in Tuesday’s business
- More about Tuesday’s program that helps train women in Africa about the basics of business and accounting in the U.S.
