In this episode of Angel Foods Show, I share tips on an easy way to keep business receipts (physical paper ones and electronic receipts). When it comes to bookkeeping and entering expenses you need to find the tax receipts. If you don’t have them handy (have to dig and find them) then bookkeeping takes a lot longer (than it should) or need to!

In this episode of Angel Foods Show, I interview Julia May from Julia's Cake and Eat It and she shares her story of fighting demons (& fighting cancer) with sugarcraft as part of the healing process. In the beginning Julia had a rough idea of what profit, and discounting for friends and family (or giving away for free). Really it was a confidence crisis and valuing your own work and having customers that value your work! Julia had a confidence crisis and never thought cakes were good enough. Never charged more because she didn't think she was 'worth' more. And the evolution of her business from a hobby to 6% profit margins and now at 56% profit margin and how she did it.
And with a cake course, she increased profit margin by 277%! And in the following year increased profit margin by 383%.
