Grow My Accounting Practice | Tips for Accountants & Bookkeepers to Grow Their Business
Show Summary Billie Anne has worked with Profit First Professionals who've had extraordinary success and with the ones who struggled. Thinking outside of the box and thinking forward as to thinking about what's in the past really makes a big difference in people being successful in transitioning. In this episode, Billie Anne shares how to start thinking outside of the box by having empathy at the start of the entire process. According to her, you have to understand that your client is not an accountant or a bookkeeper, and you have to put yourself in their shoes. Members or people, in general, can get the most out of whether they join something like Profit First and they're working with a coach or a new system by committing themselves. It is one of the best practices for people to get the most out of whatever they do. You have to commit participation and commit membership, which means working on your business as suppose to in your business. Billie Anne stresses that you need to have time to work on your business. Make that commitment to yourself and your business to advance yourself by making the most of whatever it is that you've invested in. The first step she does is TIME BLOCKING or TIME BUDGETING. Block the time on your calendar to do the necessary things in your business, and don't let other things take over that time block. In Profit First Professionals, we have this POWER HOUR which you can also use wherein, just for that hour, whatever initiative you're going to be working on to move the business furthest, that's all you can do during that power hour. SCHEDULE IT! More tips and knowledge from this episode's guest awaits. Listen now! Website: www.profitfirstprofessionals.com Corporate Partner: People Process - https://peopleprocesses.com/
In today's episode, we will go over another one of my favorite & tested time management techniques called 'Eisenhower Matrix' which uses two labels URGENT & IMPORTANT to bucket tasks into 4 areas. Helps you to figure out categorization of tasks into Do It, Schedule It, Delegate It & Delete It buckets! Adding a resource here that I referenced for the episode notes, that has a picture of the matrix, if you were more of a visual learner. Happy prioritizing! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ritika-dahiya/message

For so many people, doing a job that is also your hobby is a bit of a dream. However, for this episode’s guest on ScaleUp Radio, it’s become a successful reality. Tom Mallett is the Managing Director of Ecomotive Logistics, which started in 2014, and is a B2B company moving vehicles. As you’ll hear, cars have always been Tom’s ‘thing’ and he brought that passion to the business, following a career in motorsport journalism. There are so many takeaways from this episode, but a couple of the highlights are: - Being honest about your industry, and acknowledging the good and bad sides of it, as well as the positive and negative perceptions of it - Avoiding complacency within your business, especially when things are going well - How you go about recruiting - and retaining - good people, especially when you work in a transient industry with a high turnover. - Taking time when you’re starting your business to consider not just WHAT the business will be, but WHY will it be a success? What are you going to be doing differently than those that came before you? It clear listening to Tom how much he enjoys running and working within the business, and you can hear how much he wants everyone who works for him to come along on his scale up journey too. Tom can be found here: https://www.ecomotive.biz/ linkedin.com/in/thomas-mallett-1346b718 Marc Randolph “That Will Never Work”: https://www.waterstones.com/book/that-will-never-work/marc-randolph/9781913068073 Phil Knight “Shoe Dog”: https://www.waterstones.com/book/shoe-dog/phil-knight/9781471146725 Oliver Shah “Damaged Goods”: https://www.waterstones.com/book/damaged-goods/oliver-shah/9780241341247 Schedule It - https://www.scheduleit.com/ Asana - https://asana.com/ OneCom - https://onecom.co.uk/ Scaling up your business isn't easy, and can be a little daunting. Let ScaleUp Radio make it a little easier for you. With guests who have been where you are now, and can offer their thoughts and advice on several aspects of business.

Chad and I have a new FSB talking about the Man from Nowhere. Also met up with RE Mike and Mouse for dinner the other night. All-in-all, not a bad few days.

I take myself on dates.我跟自己去约会:I go to the movies alone. I wander museums alone. I eat meals alone (and yes, that means I resist all temptation to scroll through Instagram while waiting for my meal).我独自看电影,独自在博物馆闲逛,独自吃饭 (是的,这意味着在等待饭菜上来时,我抵制住了所有刷Instagram的诱惑)。I sit in coffee shops and journal alone.我坐在咖啡馆里,独自写着日志。I take the train and go to new towns and walk around alone.我一个人乘火车,前往新的城镇,然后独自在那里四处走走玩玩。I realize this may sound super dorky. You're probably thinking that I must be pretty weird and very lonely. Interestingly enough, I was way more lonely before I started spending time alone.我意识到也许这听起来超级蠢。你很可能会想,我肯定十分怪异、非常寂寞。有趣的是,我在开始独自生活前是更加孤单的。The feeling like I needed to be around people all the time to take a deep breath -- that was loneliness.那种就像我需要一直跟别人待在一起才能做深呼吸的感觉,是孤单。The feeling of complete anxiety and fear when a boyfriend broke up with me -- that was loneliness.男朋友跟我分手,那种极为焦虑恐慌的感受,是寂寞。But this? This is peace. This is fun. This is what self-esteem is built of. 但现在呢?这是平静,是趣味,是构建自信心的基础。Here's how I learned to spend time alone.以下是我学会独处的方法。1. I just did it. And let go of trying to look "cool".1. 我只是一个人独处,并不去想怎么尽量看起来酷。2. Make a list of your favorite things. And don't wait for anyone.2. 列出你最爱的事然后去做,不用等待别人跟你一起去践行。3. Schedule It. And don't cancel on yourself.3. 按时完成,不要取消与自己的约会。For the past year, I've been single by choice. Not by circumstance. Not because no one will ask me out or I can't find anyone eligible.过去一年中,我选择保持单身。这不是因为环境因素,不是因为没人约我出去或是我不能找到合适人选。It's hard for some people to believe that I am choosing not to date, and I often get weird looks and confused grunts from my old aunt and college friends alike.有些人很难相信我选择不去约会。大姨和大学同学们老是对我投以怪异的眼神和不解地咕哝。Why would someone voluntarily choose to stay single? To spend time alone? Aren't I missing out on life by not going on Tinder dates? What if The One is out there but I don't catch him because I'm too busy staying single?为什么会有人愿意保持单身?愿意独自一人消磨时光?没有继续在Tinder(网络交友平台)上相亲的我,难道不是错过了生活的乐趣吗?要是我命中注定的另一半就在Tinder上,但我因为忙着保持单身而错过了他,那怎么办?I'm not the slightest bit embarrassed to say out loud that I've been dating myself and it's been the most nurturing, sustainable, and non-anxiety inducing relationship I've ever had.大声说出我正和自己相约,一点也不让我尴尬,而且它是我所有的关系中最滋养人、最持久也最不会引发焦虑的。There's no waiting to be texted back (or obsessing about if my text is too flirty, too needy, too wordy), and there's no feeling like another person just doesn't understand me.我不需要等待他人的回复(或是费神考虑我的短信是否太过轻浮、太过心切或是冗长啰嗦),我也不会再有那种“别人永远无法明白我”的感觉了。That doesn't mean I don't plan on dating other people in future -- I definitely do. But I know now that the relationship I've built with myself is a model for the elationship I want to be in.这不意味着我将来不打算谈恋爱(我当然会谈啦)。可我如今明白,与自己建立的这种关系是我想要与另一半相处的模式。I'm kind and patient and gentle and loving and orgiving of myself. I laugh at my mistakes and I let go of my errors. I am strong and courageous. That's the kind of person I want to be with and the type of relationship I hope to be in.我友善、耐心、温柔、友爱又宽容。我对自己犯的错误一笑了之。我强大而勇敢。这便是我想要的对象,也是我希望同他建立起的恋爱关系。I know now that I'm not going into the relationship as a half, I'm going in as a whole. So whether it works out or doesn't work out, deep down, I haven't lost anything.我现在知道了,我不会在恋爱关系中有所保留,而将会是全身心投入。因此无论这段关系是否有好的结果,在内心深处我都没有任何损失。I'm still me. I'm still complete. I still have the friendship I've built with the me that I've grown to know and love over the past 23 years. That's the greatest relief I've ever known.我仍然是我自己,我仍然完好无损,我同自己建立起的友谊依旧存在,那是我在过去23年中渐渐了解并爱上的。这便是我所知的最大欣慰。

Transcript (machine transcribed - please forgive the typos) Alan: 00:01 Hey everybody, welcome to the Metro Startup Launcher podcast. This is Alan Grosheider and today I'm talking to Reba wheeling with schedule it and we've known each other for a while, but I think we were introduced originally about Greg Langdon. Right. Rebah: 00:17 I think that everybody gets introduced to somebody else by greg, master connector in the city Alan: 00:24 every time you ever talked to anybody to make a connection Xyz and that's almost, they're always first responses. Have you talked to Greg Langdon and is he. Rebah: 00:36 No, I mean as a volunteer in our city, I don't think he's paid by anybody. I mean what an incredible asset that we have in our community with Greg Langdon. Alan: 00:44 Yeah. He really works tirelessly for without anybody around him and I don't know how he does it, but it is nice to have somebody working that hard for the community and I think our startup community. Yeah, there's been. I think there's been some of the early things with metro startup launch era. I said, what's wrong with our startup community? It wasn't really intended to say there that we have a bad startup community. It, it was just saying what could we do better? And I kind of put it in a way that was a little maybe abrasive to some people, but that got attention. But our startup community is really great, you know, it's so supportive and you know, people like Greg and enterprise court for the size of our city, we really do have a lot going on and start a community now. We just need a few more billion dollar companies that put money back into it. So I just wanted to kind of what I normally do, I don't know if you've listened to any of the metro startup launch your podcast, but a lot of times I just talk to people about their journey getting started as an entrepreneur. Maybe things that you did early in life that led you to become an entrepreneur. Were you somebody that did a lot of entrepreneurial things as a kid? Rebah: 02:04 Um, I grew up in an entrepreneurial family for sure construction businesses, um, you know, and my family's in medical. They're in construction there in restoration on the insurance side, so our dinner conversations were always about profit loss, employee issues, benefits, um, you know, rfps, all those types of things. So I didn't know really that there was another way to be able to live even though I did go to corporate and corporate environment. Alan: 02:43 So when, when you were growing up, were you thinking, I don't ever want to get into all that because I know my daughter, uh, I have always been an entrepreneur and her mom has always been an entrepreneur and a lot of times these days she'll say, that seems too stressful for me. I don't want to get into all to being an entrepreneur. Was that, did you think you would eventually become an entrepreneur? Rebah: 03:07 No, I mean my goal is a little girl was never to grow up and own a technology company for sure. Um, you know, um, when I started out then I really focused on just doing the best at whatever I was doing at that time. I owned my own business at night. Um, I burnt myself out at 23. Then, um, I went to the medical field, uh, took the logical, um, you know, and the more you work,

I hesitated long and hard about posting a photo of myself in a bikini at age 54, but I've paid my dues – in the form of sweat equity. I've worked hard at getting in – and staying in shape, and I've tried just about every diet imaginable. There will be haters who will say I'm not in the best shape, and they're right, but I'm beyond thrilled that I can fit into a two-piece swimsuit and qualify for an AARP card at the same time! The truth is, I've struggled with my weight nearly all my life – starving myself and wasting money on stupid diets and every imaginable exercise – from step, to Spinning, to slide, to kickboxing, Zumba, yoga and everything in between. All for the sole purpose of looking “ok” in a bikini. Trust me, I knew I'd never be a fitness model, or any type of model, I just didn't want to embarrass myself if I had to jump in a pool at a party, if that ever happened. But there's another reason why I did it. If you're interested in my fitness and nutrition tips I'm happy to share. If you want to know what provoked me, read through to the end. 1. Be Selfish. Although I've been a group fitness instructor for more than thirty-five years, I can think of an absurd amount of excuses for why I don't have time to exercise: There is work to do, errands to run, dust bunnies to vacuum, and Netflix shows to watch – (have you seen The OA or The Crown?!) The one thing that people with amazing physiques like Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, J-Lo, and other well-chiseled celebrities have in common is that they put in the time – they do the work – a LOT of it. If you really want to get in shape, spend an hour a day, five days a week exercising. At least. Many of us who are parents put the needs of our children first while sacrificing our own health. Of course, I'm not suggesting to throw out the baby with the bathwater, but carving out even a measly few minutes every day for YOU can make a significant change in your body, keep you healthier, happier, and teach your kids about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. If you're an empty-nester, like me, it feels a little strange to put quality self-care at the forefront of your life, especially if you've spent twenty, thirty or even forty years taking care of others. But you need to…. 2. Schedule It. Make an appointment with yourself as if you had a doctor's appointment and would be charged if you failed to show. Schedule time every single day to focus on planning healthy meals, snacks, and exercise. Four minutes a day can be the motivation you need to make significant change in your life. The secret is that four minutes can turn into 10, 20, 30 minutes or more. You have to start somewhere. Make a commitment and stick to it! What exercises are the best? 3. Do Something, ANYTHING. It doesn't matter what the exercise is or how well it works for others, if you don't like to do it, chances are you won't do it. However, you have to suck it up and do something, anything every day! Get in the gym, swim, bike or dance! Find the thing that makes your heart sing and you'll do it more often. Make sure you combine these three elements in your weekly fitness regime: strength training, cardiovascular training and stretching. Working out at least 30 minutes a day five days a week is optimal. Obviously, a little more goes along way in this case. Take a look at HIIT Training: High-Intensity Interval Training is short bursts of intense cardiovascular training combined with small pockets of working-recovery, usually strength training, that will sculpt muscles and leave you sweaty in a short period of time. Many professional athletes and celebrities are using HIIT training. Mix it up! Dance, swim, walk, bike, lift weights, play with your kids or your dog. Anything to get moving! It's important to strike your muscles in different ways to prevent injuries, increase flexibility and maintain cardiovascular fitness, decrease stress and increase bone density.

All the greatest workouts in the world won’t give you a lean and toned body if you’re only eating pop tarts, cheeseburgers and sodas. Fuel your body with superfood nutrition. Having struggled with my weight all my life, I think I have it figured out after 54 years of searching. I’ve gained and lost over one hundred pounds throughout the decades, but finally, I am at a weight with which I am happy. No starving or denying myself either! I have boundless energy, no cravings during that three p.m. lull, and yet I still have ice cream, cake and chips (on occasion). I owe it all to Isagenix. The system has simplified my life, while giving me incredible vitality and made losing that last ten pounds easy. Is the system a magic pill? For me, it sure does seems like it. For the first time in my life, I’m at my goal weight and have tons of energy throughout my day – especially during workouts. For more information on the products that have changed my life, click on this link. And finally…. 5. Take a Selfie. Take a photo of yourself in just your undies. Is there something you don’t like? Guess who can change that?You can! Find a photo of someone who has a figure that is similar to what you’d like to achieve. Put your selfie next to your goal photo. During the next 30 days, look at the two pictures every morning and whenever you’re hangry (hungry + angry). Imagining the future can be a very potent prescription for positive change! Isagenix has a program called the ISA Body Challenge, which gives you daily motivation and inspiration to stick to your goals and get in shape. With nearly half of the American population dancing toward obesity, and health-care costs sky-rocketing, staying physically fit isn’t just about looking good, it’s about feeling good, too. We can’t afford to take our health for granted, as those of us who’ve had life-threatening illnesses know. Why I did it. Fifteen years ago I was sucking on oxygen, barely able to crawl up a flight of stairs. Looking good in a bikini was not even a consideration. Living through the day, was. Having suffered with pre-emphysema caused by toxic mold exposure, I remember thinking once that I just wanted to be healthy enough to watch my son’s track meet. There was a time when the simple process of getting dressed, leaving the house, driving a car and climbing up outdoor bleachers was unthinkable. Now, I can run up and down the bleachers, and that’s all that really matters. So, now that I think of it, the best part of the bikini photo for me is the smile on my face. If you’re not healthy, you can’t be happy, and that’s really all that matters.
