OP.
You don't have to justify shit. Its your business, its your time, and its your life!
Tell them, look we both want your bookkeeping to be accurate. It is clear in the past there have been challenges, and we/I are no longer the right firm to support you.
XXXX will be our last invoice.
Thank you and good luck.
Do this by phone, and send the discussion points by email! You can walk away. They may not pay your last invoice, but consider that bad karma on them.

Personally I like how /u/aphex732 worded his response, try that too.
The bigger problem is the first one - getting a good grounding in Marketing, as the fundamentals don't really change although the media does. Social media marketing is Marketing, and follows many of the same principles.
Would recommend taking a look at Josh Kaufman's book The Personal MBA (Amazon) and here's his list of 99 books from his website of which the marketing books listed there is a very good place to start.
You can basically waste a TON of time on the plethora of so-called 'social media marketing experts' who are experts at selling to others social media marketing 'secrets'. It's a bit of old-fashioned hucksterism that makes them a lot of money (true) but may not be all that worthwhile (unless you want to sell social media secrets for the future career).
As a professional marketer myself, having been in many roles in Marketing (and outside sales and product development), you've got to have a foundation to build on.
Even consider taking a MOOC from a reputable place on Marketing, it's a discipline of study for good reason, and then see how the social media part fits into it.
In my own situation, Large Mega Corp the revenue from Social Media is on the order of 1% (we track such things), while the web is on the order of 15%. We still have a direct sales force (we are B2B) and have events and exhibit at conferences; I have no illusions about all the marketing that needs to be done offline (where still many of our customers are).
Just my $0.02, FWIW.

Was ich gut finde:
- Stocks for the Long Run: The Definitive Guide to Financial Market Returns & Long-Term Investment Strategies gibt eine Langzeitperspektive auf die Aktienmärkte. Daher natürlich nicht ganz 5000 Jahre
- Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk gibt einen sehr interessanten Überblick über die begreifbar- messbarmachung von Risiko in verschiedenen Kontexten.
I agree with everyone about this being a saturated market that's tough to break into. Here's the best advice I can think of without knowing more about you/your business goals.
Step 1. Find a product that is already selling in another country and bring it to the US or wherever you call home. That's what RedBull, Zico, and Vita Coco all did. Probably many of the brands you know have done this.
Step 2. Understand and plan your product positioning. This is how people will think about your product. Check out this book on positioning. It will help you.
Before you do anything else I'd do these two things.
Ugh. It’s hard to break past people pleasing habits so good on you on focusing on yourself. Have you read The Disease To Please: Curing the People-Pleasing Syndrome or When Pleasing You Is Killing Me? They are both helpful, but if you only want to try one I’d suggest the second. Stay strong and good luck!
Very good points. Sounds like you've read Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High b/c this comment outlines pretty much exactly how you should handle this situation.
Why Am I Still Depressed by Jim Phelps was the first book I read after being diagnosed and it really helped me come to terms with my diagnosis. It introduced to me the idea of the bipolar spectrum which really resonated with me and allowed me to be open to the idea of trying mood stabilizers and antipsychotics which I have since become stable on. I actually loved the book so much I bought another copy and gave it to my parents who also found it to be educational and I believe it’s helped them come to terms with my diagnosis as well.
Recall is actually one of the few skills that I never remove a food reward from. I want my cat to think that coming back is going to get her something fantastic every time, so if I ever need to use it in an emergency we have a really strong history of getting awesome treats. My first suggestion for getting started in training is Don't Shoot the Dog!, there's also a PDF floating around on the internet somewhere. It's a quick read and gives a very good overview of why training works.
I have taught eye contact outside of a recall and regularly use it as a way for my cat to request what I have. I use soft eyes and don't ask for extended contact, just a check in. Slow blinking is a common way to gain cats' trust, so not all eye contact is bad. Hard staring is going to be interpreted differently than a soft lidded gaze
I ascribe to the Krapelin/Ghaemi/Phelps view that what is crucial in treatment is not whether mood is unipolar or bipolar but whether it is cyclical or not.
https://www.amazon.com/Depressed-Recognizing-Managing-Bipolar-Disorder/dp/0071462376
There is a lot of persistent depression or hard to treat depression that is more like "soft bipolar" or "phenotypically non-penetrant" bipolar.
Basically, if patient doesn't respond to anti-depressants or especially if anti-depressants make them irritable or hypomanic, put patient on Lamictal or Lithium and see if that works.
Stopping the cycling or recurrence is more important than level of current mood. Mood can be elevated once cycle is eliminated.
This isn't DSM-V orthodoxy, which tries to define distinct diagnostic categories, but reflective of the continuous nature of dimensions and latent variants in real world.
It sounds like the doctor was trying to say this with
I like Aswath Damodaran's work, a true expert. The article mentions the same flaws of French and Fama that I found in book Stocks for the Long Run, about excluding certain periods that will give completely different picture about small cap value.
https://www.amazon.com/Stocks-Long-Run-Definitive-Investment/dp/0071800514
What I never liked about that theory of small cap value outperforming if we look at 100 years data and not 10-20 years of data, is that I could conclude - why not 500 years then? Maybe 500 years will show that small cap value doesn't outperform, you know what I mean. They are basing their theory on something that could be easily turned against them.
But, I also keep the course of general index ETFs, I find it easier and smarter, too.
Already some great points mentioned.
Either sleep in bed with him/ let him sleep in your bed or do planned, structured sleep training.
I can highly recommend Elizabeth Pantleys „No Cry Sleep Solution“ book.
https://www.amazon.de/No-Cry-Sleep-Solution-Gentle-Through/dp/0071381392
It has short chapters and easy language so even sleep deprived brains can comprehend. I didn’t realize until way afterwards just HOW incoherent, frazzled and downright dumb I had become due to lack of sleep. (also had serious exhaustion depression later, pretty sure it started during that horrible time)
Anyway,
First thing is a sleep diary. there’s time tables in the book. Makes you watch your own rituals and habits for a week or so.
Next step: create your own family goals of what should work for you. Then gradually move bedtimes/bath time etc towards the preferred version.
Be super strict about the new routine. No exceptions for 4 weeks at least. If big birthdays or holidays are coming up, wair until they’re over. Kiddo gotta learn that you wont move, just as a wall wont move no matter how hard you shove.
Make the ritual short(-ish) and love-y, but afterwards you turn into a parenting robot. No emotions. „Good night. Time to sleep“
Repeat for 867 times if necessary. Next night might only be 384 times. And so on.
I'll be honest, I read this as if you're talking Military Veteran with plans to use the VA loan which is something I wish I knew more about before becoming a Realtor.
I would read The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. Maybe start an L.L.C and start recording expenses, make your own property management company that grows with you rather than having to pay someone else. Then you could become the one others pay to manage their properties as well.
I had training called "crucial conversations" that very clearly lays out how to tactfully address situations like this.
I'm by no means suggesting that by reading this book you will solve ALL of your problems.
I would highly recommend you check out the book Crucial Conversations, which I'll link to below. If your view is that tense conversations are never valuable because nobody ever wins, than I suspect that something about your own communication style is CREATING no-win situations and if you could learn to understand/handle tense conversations differently, you could see drastically different results. This book has been very helpful for me for similar reasons.

Rofl. I used to be really into hacking and social engineering. Oneday on some forum someone told me to read that book and this dog training people if I wanted to learn to hack people better: https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Shoot-Dog-Teaching-Training/dp/0553380397

Really works, but once you learn all the things in those books then you realize that its really important to not just do what the books say, but also to be a geniunely authentic person. Some people (especially street smart people) can smell your intentions from a mile away.
​
Haha maybe your friend is over doing it and not being authentic?
Looks like you're on deck for a crucial conversation, lucky you!
For any situation like this the smart money is on talking it through, even though it's not easy and you might feel like you don't owe him this. It'll be awkward, and he might get aggressive, more than likely from what you're saying it sounds like he probably just won't listen and will continue business as usual like nothing happened. He's not taking the hint, so it's basically either give him an ultimatum or move on and cut ties with him.
This is the act of integrity: you lay your cards on the table and tell him you don't get what you want out of this relationship. That's the core of what's going on here. What he does next is on him and you've washed your hands of the situation. If he steps up to the plate and becomes a better friend, then maybe that would be good? If he doesn't improve IMO you are now fully within your rights to "ghost" him, even though since you told him what's going on it's not strictly ghosting. He had the option to prevent it and chose not to. To tie this up you will probably want to enforce a boundary of sorts, and if the open conversation fails you'll have to tell him the truth "I don't want you contacting me anymore." If that fails block him. So that's basically the "high road," you can do what you want of course, but that's the most moral and effective way to do this.
>O BOVA11 tem mais de 90 ações, distribuídas de forma proporcional. Como vou comprar 90 ações e ficar balanceando de forma que replique o índice?
Entrando no home broker e comprando. E novamente: vc acha q necessita ter 90 ações na sua carteira? Sendo que grande parte são lixo?
>Quando digo comprar ETFs de olho fechado logicamente me refiro àquelas que replicam o mercado de maneira geral, tal como BOVA11, IVVB11, etc. Não se trata de comprar qualquer coisa.
Nao deixam de ser fundos, com taxa de adm e que possuem lixo em seu portifolio.
>Enfim... já que você refuta ETF, ainda não entendi o que acha que seria melhor para alguém que gostaria de investir sem aprofundamento.
O q todos os ricos em bolsa fizeram, compraram empresas lucrativas, pararam de focar em rentabilidade, focaram em renda, diversificaram, focaram no longo prazo e reinvestiram os lucros.
Bolsa parece q é um bicho de sete cabeças, é o que tentam te passar pra te vender analise, relatorio e etc. Mas no fundo, é só isso. Eu te digo com conhecimento de causa, estou na bolsa ha 12 anos e muito bem obrigado.

This book will tell you how it’s done. Good read even for those in the game: https://www.amazon.com/Millionaire-Real-Estate-Investor/dp/0071446370/ref=nodl_
Also I found a copy in my local library through the Libby app and read the ebook there. Too long to condense into a Reddit response. Don’t settle for Reddit quips.
> What specific book would you recommend on branding? I might just give it a go.
That is the wrong attitude in business. You're trying to do the minimum possible. Try the opposite: do as much as you can. Read ALL the books by David Ogilvy, you can start with the bestseller(s) and make your way down till you lose interest.
> I don't think I can be "on-brand" if my brand names and assets just don't feel like they are truthful to me.
You and I have different views on what "brand" and be "on brand" mean. These are some very interesting reads.
Morally, legally, and socially, no you are not obligated to help your brother.
One thing I did notice is that neither you nor your brother communicates well and I'm sure it's got a lot to do with how you grew up. I grew up in a home where communication wasn't always ideal, and something that helped me was the book Crucial Conversations Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005K0AYH4).
If it was me I would still help find a place for the brother to live, but 100% would not cosign on a lease, loan, anything. Best of luck and hopefully things improve for everyone.
Read "My Personal MBA". It's a great book to learn the ins and outs of running a business.
https://www.amazon.com/Personal-MBA-Master-Art-Business/dp/1591845572
Talk to knowledgeable people, preferably other business owners about your startup. Ask for honest feedback.
Talk to potential customers to be sure you've got something. If possible get them to sign up or buy your product before you actually start the business. Lots of people will promise to do business with you and not follow through once the business is up and running, so keep that in mind too.
Best of luck to you!
This is just miscommunication. Just explain what you thought his invitation meant to you (eating dinner with his family) and then ask if that's what he meant. Then read a book called 'Crucial Conversations'

Of course you were tense. You were given too much information to process in too short a time and then expected to perform a task you'd never done before and which, by its very nature, you can't slow down to practice. Anyone would be tense.
It's as if you signed up for ice skating lessons, and the teacher proceeded to do a triple axel jump and then said, "Ok, now you try!"
It is a perfect setup for student failure. 🤦
As for the dog training, I cannot recommend Don't Shoot the Dog highly enough. This is basically the bible of clicker training. Step-by-step instructions, lots of explanation and a ton of practical examples for each step, and entertaining to boot. I'm not exaggerating when I say it completely changed how I look at and interact with animals, other people, and myself.
Therapy can do wonders for this thing. I also recommend reading this book (Crucial Conversations).
You don't have the right tools to solve your communication issue. Therapy will help you get the tools. It is a learnable thing.
I used to do this when I got too close to people because I got scared of the possibility of them being disappointed in me.
This is a great topic because communication isn't taught in high school. A business management class might cover it, and there's a very popular business book titled, Crucial Conversations about this. We've also been building up a section in this sub's wiki on the topic.
Key learnings include presenting problems by describing how it makes you feel vs. attacks that cause the other to raise defenses. Kinda sorta like saying, "I'm feeling overwhelmed and not valued with the work around this house and I'd like for us to go to a therapist to work on this" instead of "You're such a slob leaving crap everywhere so we're going to counseling or else we're done." And there are listening skills to learn as well.
My kids would not sleep through the night until they were night weaned. It took a couple of very long nights but after that it was like magic - no more night wakings, blissful sleep.
You have to look at things from your child's perspective. Right now you’re just making him angry before giving in to what he wants. He isn’t learning anything by screaming for five minutes first. What would be suggested is to go to his room, do not turn on the lights, do not make a lot of noise or eye contact. Say “sleepy time”, lay him down, pat his back, and that’s it. If you don’t want him waking to feed, she has to stop feeding him in the night. His stomach is very capable of making it through the night but his habit is to ask to nurse upon each waking. It’s not a need, it’s a habit. To change that, you have to build a new habit. If you want him to sleep through the night, you have to enforce boundaries that night time is for sleep and no more nursing. Your wife can’t crack, not even once.
It is physically painful for your wife to hear your child crying and upset, which he will be. You could have her sleep in a further away room for a couple of nights, have white noise on so she can’t hear him wake, whatever helps. You do not have to be heartless in how you help him sleep through the night, but you do have to be the most consistent of your life because this will be a big change and your son will be confused and upset. You can sit with him but not take him from his crib, pat his back or give him his pacifier or a comfort item. You can offer some comfort while he adjusts to this new pattern, but you don’t want to build a new habit that still involves too much parental need for a return to sleep.
This book was a popular alternative to the Ferber cry it out methods. Would your wife be willing to try something like this?
Check this book out from your library. Very good read for understanding value of investing and the models that other investors used before you so you don’t have to recreate the wheel. https://www.amazon.com/Millionaire-Real-Estate-Investor/dp/0071446370
The ultimate beginners guide to real estate investing here is also great and short read to get you started with ideas.
People skills.
One of the biggest issues I see with a lot of preppers is sometimes they are just downright antisocial/socially retarded at best. Alienating the people around you because you are stocked up on the essentials and letting people know you are not going to share isn't going to make you friends. Knowing how to say "No." without upsetting someone is a skill that is vastly underappreciated. If you suck at social skills I recommend "Crucial Conversations" as a good place to start.
