The Dashboard Digest

Junto classes are like entrepreneur's bootcamp, but you enjoy it

Chris Merrill, recently wrote in his blog at millionairefailure.com about a program called Junto.  I know this has nothing to do with accounting, but it must be mentioned.  Merrill, myself, and 20 other entrepreneurs got accepted into a program called Junto a few weeks back.  What is Junto you ask?  Well, if you have seen the apprentice, it’s a bit like that.  Two very successful entrepreneurs, Greg Warnock and Alan Hall, teamed up to help business owners learn the things about entrepreneurship that you can't learn in the class room.  For example - how to talk to complete strangers, sell your product wherever you go, etc.  Junto is a program that lasts about seven weeks. It's riddled with challenges that we get to complete, and classes are taught on entrepreneurship each Tuesday night.  The public is welcome so come on down if your an entrepreneur or one at heart.  You get to attend the classes for free and watch the 20 contestants compete. The classes are from 5:45 to 9:00 PM and they are held at the Salt Lake City Library on the 4th floor.

We blog, therefore we are

This is a new blog for the small business owners who are tired of dealing with accounting when it comes to running their businesses.  If that description fits you, then welcome.  If not, then stick around anyway.  Our experience has shown that most people want to own their own business; they just haven't taken the leap yet.  Trust us, we know the feeling.  When that day comes, you will enter the pool of business owners who are frustrated with accounting.  Well, we are here to talk about it, because we love accounting.  That's why we do what we do. 

At The Dashboard Digest, you'll be able to bone up on:

1. Practical bookkeeping skills from accountants in the field (none of that difficult to understand accounting speak mumbo jumbo.  We'll use real words for real business owners trying to improve their companies).
2. Accounting terms, rules, etc. explained in a way that even the most non-accountant person can enjoy. Wa hoo!
3. Tax information that is actually useful.  We’ll write it in a way that makes sense and doesn’t mystify. 
4. You’ll also get the latest information on what’s going on at Dashboard Accountants.  We like to have fun and we love doing what we do.  You'll see the company grow, what we are up to, and how you can get in on the action.
