You can listen to find out what it was. Here’s what else Diane and I discuss: Diane answers the question, "What exactly is a tax coach and proactive tax planning?" How she's saved her clients over $1 million with tax planning, nut just filing the taxes but actively planning. Why she bought her business' building in 2007, at the top of the real estate market. How she lost half her clients, because they went out of business, from 2007 to 2010. How she struggled to grow her business (because she didn't understand marketing) and the catalyst that turned everything around. What took her down the path to become a tax coach, and add it to her 'traditional' accounting business. Why she loves helping entrepreneurs and businesses. How she financed her marketing with 'loans' from her credit cards and the anxiety that caused. What happened when she realized they didn't teach you how to run a business when she learned to do accounting. What she does to help successful business owners save thousands of dollars in taxes each year. Why most people don't think there is any way to plan ahead and actually lower their taxes. How her employees attempted to revolt because of her business changes. What she did to keep her business going the way she wanted and deal with the dissenting employees. How the employees almost tore apart her business. Why she feels like she turned the Titanic mourned and kept it afloat. The fears she faces with her employee issues.

Write books, expand your reach & attract new clients with Diane Gardner It's certainly not easy to start over. Just ask Diane Gardner, an accountant who has had to do it more than once. After the most recent reinvention, she realized she needed to make some big changes to her business model or her business just wouldn't survive. She knew she needed to expand her reach, and attract customers who were not only in her zip code, an area that has only 6000 residents. That meant going way outside her comfort zone.
