In this episode, Joe Woodard talks to Ron Baker about the concept of moral injury as a more accurate explanation for what is often misdiagnosed as burnout, especially in the accounting and medical professions. They explore how moral injury arises when professionals face systemic or situational pressures that force them to act against their deeply held beliefs, creating anxiety and dissatisfaction. This issue is more profound than the surface-level symptoms of burnout and is rooted in the disconnect between the transactional nature of modern work environments and the purpose-driven calling many professionals feel.

“We are in a supply/demand economy that favours the suppliers. And it's economics 101, if you have a supply shortage that can't meet all the demand of the market, then you increase price.” -Joe Woodard Compliance is one of the biggest realms of challenge for bookkeepers, but it also provides consistent opportunity. The rules and regulations change so frequently that it can be hard to keep up, and if we feel that way, just imagine how non-bookkeeping businesses feel about it. Supply and demand rule the market, and there is always going to be a supply of potential clients who would rather just pay someone to take care of the books for them. Despite this, we have to be careful not to fall into the trap of undercharging and over-promising.  Having hundreds of clients might feel like a success, but it probably doesn't to the clients who barely get any of our time and, of course, if you're overworked for long enough, burnout will likely be in your future. Joe Woodard, acclaimed speaker and trainer, is this spotlight episode's featured guest. He has spent his career helping businesses solve their complex operational needs and scale to new heights. In this episode, Joe and Louie Prosperi explore the importance of pricing, how to value your skills and experience and the role practice, planning and AI have in your business.  If you are taking on more and more clients but are starting to fall behind your promises, then this is the episode to get you focused on building connections and pricing based on your unique abilities, not just how many people you can get on board.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to Content Creator & Marketing Strategist of Universal Accounting Center, Roger Knecht.Universal Accounting Center, under the leadership of Roger Knecht, has been a beacon of support for accounting professionals since 1979. The center offers training and support for both budding and established accounting professionals. Their mission is to transform accountants into "accounting preneurs," equipping them with the entrepreneurial mindset and skills necessary to run a successful accounting business.The center recognizes that many accountants lack marketing, selling, and pricing training. To address this, they guide professionals to help navigate acquiring and retaining clients. Their approach is not just about crunching numbers; it's about empowering accountants to offer valuable advice and insights to their clients.One of the critical points Roger emphasized during our conversation was the importance of communication between accountants and business owners. He noted that there needs to be more clarity between what business owners expect from their accountants and what accountants provide. Universal Accounting Center aims to bridge this gap by giving accounting professionals a voice and encouraging them to offer valuable advice and insights to their clients.Roger also touched on industry trends, noting the increasing focus on cloud technology and the integration of AI interfaces within accounting platforms such as QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage. He emphasized that these tools are meant to assist accounting professionals in their work, not replace them.Key Points from the Episode:Universal Accounting Center: training and support for accounting professionalsGoal: help accounting professionals become "accounting preneurs"Importance of communication between accountants and business ownersEvolution of Universal Accounting Center from physical campuses to online platformIndustry trends: focus on cloud technology and AI integration in accounting platformsAI tools in accounting: meant to assist, not replace professionalsCore areas of focus for accounting professionals: bookkeeping and accounting, tax preparation and planning, CFO and advisory workUniversal Accounting Center website, universalaccounting.com, offers free resources and coursesAbout Roger Knecht:Roger Knecht is the esteemed president of Universal Accounting, a renowned institution providing comprehensive training, certifications, coaching, and support to over 40,000 accounting professionals since its establishment in 1979.

Without this concept, you're likely to work a lot more hours than are necessary in order to create the revenue you want.It's not just about the pricing tool you use. It's also about the mindset.…Check out my “greatest hits” episodes:Effortless Value #201Pricing for Improved Profitability #21112 Reasons to Niche #221Killer Niches for CPAs with Tom Wheelright #178Digital Products, Courses, and 90% Margins with The Real Estate CPA, Brandon Hall #179Get More from Technology with Joe Woodard #244…Want to get your life back while protecting your revenue?Here are a few ways I help overworked CPAs:GET LOTS OF ANSWERS FASTFor the solo CPA with a bunch of rapid-fire questions they want answers to, like: How high can I go on prices without sending my clients running?
