Sometimes, I get myself special gifts on my birthdays which are mostly material things like shoes, clothes, etc. February 1st 2023, I decided to gift myself a data entry and book keeping class with accounting hub by Mrs Chioma Ifeanyi-Eze. This particular gift was more expensive than the other birthday gifts I have bought for myself and it was the best gift I ever gave myself.
After taking that class, I have helped some businesses with their inventory and stock taking and I have made my money back.
Recently, I got a job and left my store in someone's hand. When I made that post here, someone asked how I am able to still watch over my goods.
Before my girl started work, I made sure to count everything in my store. Asides baking, I also sell drinks in packs and retail. She comes Monday to Saturday and I open alone on Sundays.
2 weeks after resumption, I went to the shop on Sunday and decided to check how much she has made overtime and check if the money she remitted tallies with what was left. After counting, I noticed some drinks were missing and I wrote a long note for her to meet on Monday.
I stated what she started with, what was left and the money she remitted. I can only imagine the shock on her face when she was reading my note because I'm sure she wouldn't have thought I will notice it so soon. When I saw her, I asked for an explanation and she said she advertised to her neighbor and her neighbor told her to bring some goods home for her to buy. The lie was stinking but I chose to still listen. She also said she has fixed the sales book and have added the remaining money.
E concern me😂
Madam, why didn't you inform me and also remit the money? She said she just took it to her neighbor a day before I counted.
No problem, I sternly warned that it should not happen again. Message passed across accordingly. I will retain her and with this incidence, she'll surely know that even if I'm not with her physically in the store, I'm still there with her spiritually. I'm happy I put all this measures in place before putting someone else in charge. Now even when I'm not fully present, I can still properly keep track with my business😊
