This episode didn't start in my usual car studio — it started with a chaotic morning, major traffic on the M25, and me arriving 25 minutes late to speak at Accountex. But that stressful journey turned into a powerful lesson. In this episode, I share what happened, and more importantly, what it reminded me about decision-making, momentum, and why perfection is overrated. I talk about: The mindset shift that helped me go from overthinking to taking bold action Why waiting until everything is “perfect” will keep you stuck How to build momentum even when you don't have clarity Why caring what others think is holding you back more than you realise And a simple way to create accountability to follow through If you've been putting off a key decision or waiting for the ideal moment to start — this episode is your sign. You don't need to be great to start. But to be great, you have to start. --------- If you've enjoyed my podcasts, here's how you can get more value from me: Free stuff Get a free copy of my book The Four Pillars from here Watch a short 8 min video on how you can win new clients whilst you sleep here Join 1500+ accountants owners in the Profitable Accountant Free Facebook group My inner-circle Join 150+ accounting firm owners in the Profitable Accountants Community (the PAC) to get access to the tools, training and tribe to help you grow your firm - without wasting time and money doing it the hard way.

In this episode, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what's been going on this past week — including a new client win (closed after one call) and some powerful insights from my own learning and coaching. I'll walk you through:
Ever wonder why the whole world's outsourcing to the Philippines now? There's a reason. Actually... there are seven solid reasons—and one more that might matter a lot more than you think.Outsourcing used to mean India. Not anymore. In 2010, everything changed—and the Philippines quietly became the global leader in business process outsourcing.I've hired over 50 full-time Filipino workers. I've seen firsthand why they outperform, outlast, and flat-out care more than anything I ever got from freelancers or agencies.So what makes the Philippines the best-kept secret in global hiring—and how did it become the world's outsourcing giant?In this episode, I'm breaking down the 7 core reasons businesses are shifting their outsourcing to the Philippines—and the bonus reason that might be even more important for your team:
You think living the 4-hour work week is just a dream? I used to think that too—until life forced me to figure it out fast.Back in 2007, my wife got a life-threatening diagnosis late in her pregnancy. I had two toddlers, a growing business, and zero margin for error. I couldn't work. At all. And yet… the business kept going. Actually, it grew. That was the moment everything changed.I didn't just try the 4-hour work week. I got thrown into it. And the reason it worked? Two Filipino VAs I had trained from the ground up. Not tools. Not some automation hack. Just real people I trusted.So how did I go from grinding 50+ hour weeks… to stepping away cold turkey—while my business didn't just survive, but got stronger?In this episode, I break it all down:
In this episode, I'm sharing why podcasting (or vodcasting) is one of the highest-leverage strategies I'm doubling down on — and why you should seriously consider it too. I'll walk you through:
If you're still stuck thinking “India = outsourcing,” you're living in 2005. The world's moved on—and there's a reason.You ever call support, get someone you just can't understand, hang up, and call back hoping for a miracle? Yeah—I did that once.
There's always a gorilla in the room when it comes to outsourcing—and right now? It's the Philippines.Everybody's been talking about India for decades—but the truth is, the Philippines has quietly become the real heavyweight champ of outsourcing.I started hiring from the Philippines back in 2005, when nobody was doing it. Today? It's the world's go-to spot for everything from animation to engineering, medical transcription to game dev, graphic design to full-blown customer support. Let me break it down in this episode—from call centers to coders, graphic designers to video editors, and everything in between.
In this episode, I'm talking to you about the one big domino — the single problem that, if you solve it, knocks down everything else in your firm that's been keeping you stuck. I'll walk you through:
Are you stuck doing everything in your business?
In this episode, I'm giving you a full behind-the-scenes look at how we've just restructured our team — now 15 people strong — and what that means for how we run the practice day to day. I'll walk you through:
AI is moving fast — but are you keeping up? In this episode, I share how I'm using tools like ChatGPT and Claude in my firm (and coaching business) to: ✅ Draft emails, reports, and even legal replies ✅ Supercharge my team's productivity ✅ Handle tax research and onboarding in minutes ✅ Move away from report-based pricing to something way more valuable I also reveal the one new feature that blew my mind — and how it's changing how I approach complex tax planning.

Hey Rainmakers! It's Chelsey and Stephen, and we're back with the final episode of our three-part Rainmaker Method series—this one's all about AUTOMATION. If you're craving more time freedom in your life and business, this episode is for you. We're diving into what it looks like to make your business more hands-off, and how the automation pillar fits into the Rainmaker Method alongside leverage and solution. Automation gets tossed around a lot, but we're breaking it down in a way that makes it practical and doable—even if you're just getting started. We share our early days of building systems from scratch, learning tools like Zapier (or Zapier... the debate is real!), and how a few small tweaks can lead to big time savings. This episode is loaded with simple ways to buy back your time through smart software, outsourcing, and AI tools that are more accessible than ever. Chelsey gets real about the fears and perfectionism that hold so many of us back from outsourcing or setting up automation. We talk about that mindset shift—from "no one can do it like me" to "someone can do it 80% as well and free up my brain space!" Stephen walks through how to identify your buyback rate, hire your first virtual assistant, and how to actually communicate your style when passing off tasks. We wrap up by showing how all three pillars—leverage, solution, and automation—come together inside our Amazon-based businesses and the Rainmaker Mastermind. If you're building something big and want to do it without sacrificing your time, your family, or your health, this framework is the compass we keep coming back to. Let's build businesses that work for us, not the other way around.

I have never hired a project manager. It's tough. It's not that you can't do it. It's just that if they don't trust you, it will be hard for them to take on this responsibility.What I found works best is to hire from within. Take Joven. He started with me back in 2005. He knows the business better than anyone, which is why he's the one managing Onlinejobs.ph right now. He has the skills, experience, and respect of the team. He knows how to get things done.What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments.
I like working. I like my business. I like solving problems. I like being creative with it. I like getting in touch with my team.I like it so much that I want my business to last. I don't want to work myself to the ground, burn out, or get sick of it.That's why I don't work that much. I delegate everything I can to my OFS team. I only work when I have to and want to. That means working 17 hours a week. It's just enough time to finish everything, do focused work, and have time for what matters.Want to avoid burning out and keep loving your business? Hire an OFS and get some help at Onlinejobs.ph.
