Thank you so much for this detailed explanation GBU 😇👇

Filipino ako na nasa Pilipinas. Pero ang buyers ko taga ibang bansa. 🤩

Sa 5,000 orders siguro, nasa isa lang ang Pinoy. 😅

By the way, this platform is called ETSY.

Let me explain these numbers:

✅ 58 views- ibig sabihin ito yung ilang beses nakita or naclick ang product ko. Kung yung isang tao, 3 products ko ang nakita nya, counted as 3 views yun.

✅ 4 Orders- number of orders, hindi number of items. Pwede kasi na isang order pero dalawa ung binili nya.

✅ 22 visits- number of people na nakakita ng products ko. Ibig sabihin sa 22 na tao, 4 doon ang nag-order sakin.

✅ $32.25 revenue- total na income ko pero babawasan pa yan ng Etsy fees na nasa around $8-10. So ang makukuha ko nalang ay nasa around $24-26.

⁉️ Are the numbers good?
YES NAMAN. Kasi 6:30AM palang pero ito na ung numbers. Di bale ng konti ang views at visits basta mataas naman ang conversion rate (18.18%) which is usually kapag nasa 3% ang conversion rate, goods na.

This is amazing coach thanks for this 👇

If I’m about to start my bookkeeping career again like it’s 2018 all over again…

No experience. No portfolio. No course certificate. No confidence (yup sobrang baba talaga)

Just me… and the desire to change my life.
I would probably do the same thing I did before.

And maybe this will shock you - lalo na kung bago ka lang sa channel na to (Char)

I didn’t enroll in a course. I didn’t have a mentor.

Alam ko naman ang bookkeeping.

Accounting graduate ako. I studied debits and credits. I passed exams. I memorized theories.
I survived accounting subjects.

But, I never really used it fully in my corporate job. So parang back to zero talaga ako

I was doing tasks. Following systems. But I wasn’t handling an entire set of books. I wasn’t analyzing real business cash flow. I wasn’t cleaning up messy accounts from scratch.

So when I decided to start freelancing in 2018…

I realized something.

Having a degree is different from being confident.

I knew the concepts. But I didn’t know how to apply them in the real world, alone.

And that’s where most accounting graduates feel stuck.

You know the theory.
But you doubt the ex*****on.

So what did I do?

I didn’t enroll in a course.

I didn’t wait for someone to spoon-feed me.

What I had?

WiFi. Google. And honestly… pressure. 😅

I went back to basics, not because I didn’t know anything, but because I wanted to understand it differently this time.

Not for exams. But for clients.

I searched:

“How does bookkeeping actually work in a small business in the USA/UK?”
“How do you clean up messy books in QBO or Xero?”
“What does a real Profit & Loss look like from a client account?”
“How do you do bank reconciliation step by step in QuickBooks?”

I wasn’t trying to be perfect. I wasn’t trying to impress anyone.
I was just trying to bridge the gap between what I learned in school and what businesses actually needed.

And that changed everything.

Because here’s what most beginners don’t realize:
They think they lack intelligence.
Pero sa totoo lang they lack exposure.
There’s a difference.

In school, we solved clean problems.
Balanced worksheets.
Perfect examples.

In real life?

Clients have duplicate entries.
Uncategorized expenses.
Missing transactions.
Loans they forgot to record.
Stripe, PayPal, Wise, multiple bank accounts — halo-halo na.

And that’s when I realized…

Bookkeeping isn’t about memorizing theories.

It’s about solving messy problems calmly.

So if I were starting again in 2026?

Here’s exactly what I would do.

𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭: 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧.

• Debit/Credit/Journal entries, understand the difference between sales invoice and bills - lahat ng basics
• Understanding Bank Statements, Credit Cards and Payment Gateways statements
• Understanding how money flows in a business
• How transactions affect reports
• How Profit & Loss tells a story
• How Balance Sheet reflects health

If you understand that? Hindi ka na maliligaw.

𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝: 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬.

QuickBooks.
Xero.
Even Google Sheets.

And I would not just watch tutorials.

I would click. Break things. Fix things. Redo things.

Because confidence does not come from watching.
It comes from doing.
Iba yong nanonood ka lang sa ikaw mismo gumagawa, dun mo talaga sya maiintindihan

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝: 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

Walang client? Fine.
I’d download sample transactions.
Create a dummy company. Practice reconciliation. Generate reports.

Because waiting for someone to “give you experience” is a trap.

You build it.

𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡: 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐱 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲.

This is where most accounting grads struggle.

We’re used to being “prepared.” We want to be 100% sure before moving.

But freelancing? It rewards movement.

So I would remind myself:

You don’t need to know everything. Kasi knowing everything will take forever, and sometimes di mo talaga malalaman lahat without you actually doing it sa real clients. So you’ll never know everything sa simula talaga. It will take time
BUT you just need to know more than the client about their books.

Read that again.

You just need to know more than the client about their books.

And most business owners?

They don’t want to do bookkeeping.
That’s why they’re hiring.

𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲: 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲.

Even if I feel behind.
Even if others look more experienced.
Even if my confidence is still shaking.

Because in 2018, I applied knowing I wasn’t the best.

But I was willing. And willingness opens doors that perfection never will.

If I were starting in 2026, I wouldn’t overcomplicate it.

I wouldn’t spend 1 year “preparing.”

I would:

Learn.
Practice.
Apply.
Improve.
Repeat.

Over and over.

Because bookkeeping is not about talent.

It’s about consistency.

And if you’re reading this thinking…

“Accounting graduate din ako… pero parang kulang pa.”

Baka hindi ka kulang. You’re just unused to betting on yourself.

And maybe 2026 is not the year you take another course.

Maybe it’s the year you finally take action.

If this feels personal, comment “READY NA.”

Let’s see who’s actually serious this year. 🔥
Kung di ka ready, please lang wag kang mag comment ng READY okay?
