Learning is a life long pastime and this month I'm sharing the 3 things I learned. Nothing major. Just some little things that made my life easier or helped me move a project forward. 

1. I upped my e-mail rules game.
2. I created my first Zap using Zapier, JetPack Workflow and Ignitiion.
3. I learned how to turn on Progress Invoicing in QBO

Like I said, nothing major, just some simple things that prove that you can teach an old accountant new tricks!
