21 Nov 2023
00:15:57
While you probably would never consciously expect your employees to read your mind, almost every manager and business owner is actually expecting exactly that at some point every day.
It confuses the heck out of your team and it keeps you feeling frustrated and wondering why you can get them to do what you want, how you want it, and when you want it.
Luckily, there's a very simple solution to this.
It's all about deciding what you actually expect from each employee, telling them, and then also following through to hold them accountable. Over and over.
Like most things, easier said than done.
In this episode I walk you through key steps and tips to actually do this so you can stop feeling frustrated with your team and questioning your own abilities.
Your team will not only do better work, but they'll enjoy their work more.
When they know what to do and how to do it well, that means your clients get better service and you will have more time to focus on your own work.
Or simply to go home and unplug when your day is done.

110. Ditch the same old problems in your accounting firm
07 Nov 2023
00:16:43
You know how every year you make these great plans to do better next year? Not just to exercise more or drink more water.
I'm talking about plans to improve and grow your firm.
To change your pricing. To hire new or better employees. To niche down to a client base you actually want to work with and have really great expertise at serving.
And even better, to work fewer hours and take home a bigger profit.
But then the year goes by and you're busy and stressed, and you find yourself making similar plans, goals and dreams again.
I want that to change for you. These last two months of the year are the perfect time to start that change, by doing a new kind of reflection and evaluation of the past year.
And setting yourself up for easy actions in the new year.
Recently a client of mine summed it up perfectly, “If I’m where I am now at this time next year, you should fire me.”
The only way to make a change is to take new actions. And the best way to take new actions (other than actually doing them) is to get your brain onboard with what you want.
In this episode, I'm walking you through that.
And, now is the perfect time to book a call with me to apply this work to yourself and your firm after you listen.

Marketing isn't usually on my financial clients' list of favorite topics, but it really is one of the most important parts of running your own firm or practice.

107. Strategies for accountants with less than stellar bosses
17 Oct 2023
00:14:24
Today I'm talking about a question that I think a lot of smart financial pros struggle with, but that isn’t addressed publicly or constructively very often.
That question is this: How do I reconcile working for incompetent people? Or how should I handle working for a less than stellar boss?
No boss is perfect.
But sometimes all you can do is focus on their shortcomings to the point where it's hard for you to focus on your own work and feel good about showing up each day.
Listen in to find out why what we usually do to cope doesn't actually work, and what to do instead.
The answer is not to just suck it up, gaslight yourself, or find a new job.

The question of whether you’re doing enough at work seems to weigh heavily on many financial pro’s minds.
And it is closely aligned with a general feeling of being behind most of the time.
Your to do list pretty much never ends, and seems to just grow every day. You can work 14 hours a day (and more) and still leave your desk feeling like you didn’t accomplish enough that day.
So, today we’re talking about how to know if you’re doing enough at work, or not. And what to do about your answer.

03 Oct 2023
00:19:22
Why are you always so busy? That's just how it is in accounting and finance right?
Is that true?
Being busy is like a badge of honor in the accounting and financial world.
But the long term impact of busy-ness on you, your business, your team, and your clients is not good.
And it isn't just at work. The habit of being busy has crept into the other parts of your life, too.

26 Sep 2023

You may think that all your value comes from knowing the rules, crunching the numbers, and being an expert with all the analytical skills.

103. Oops! Navigating errors with clients
19 Sep 2023
00:17:13
In the world of finance and accounting, there’s a so much pressure for perfection in your work. There is not a lot of room for error.
You expect yourself to know the answer to anything and everything a client might pose to you. And you expect yourself to never be wrong, misunderstand, or make the wrong decision on behalf of your client.

12 Sep 2023
00:13:27
What if every single accountant had access to a coach?
Imagine how much more you might enjoy your life.
And how amazingly well firms and accounting/finance departments would perform every year.

And it is a key piece of building strong teams with a diverse, talented, engaged, and lasting workforce.

101. What are you avoiding?
05 Sep 2023
00:16:31
One of the biggest ways we hold ourselves back in life is by avoiding uncomfortable and difficult things.
Avoiding our problems, whether it’s something big, or just a small annoying task that you hate, is a very normal thing to do.
It's actually what your brain is designed to do - seek pleasure and avoid pain.
While it’s more comfortable in the short term to avoid things, it actually leads to your problems getting bigger, more complex, and even more uncomfortable.
I've noticed myself shifting into more avoiding behaviors recently, so I have lots to share on this today.
Listen in as I address why we avoid things, why avoiding things is a problem (beyond just that nagging feeling that you “should” take care of things now, and my solutions to stop avoiding things.

15 Aug 2023
00:14:21
If you’ve ever struggled to increase sales, close deals, or make more money in your accounting and financial services business, it's probably because you're selling toilet paper to your clients.
Of course I don't mean literal toilet paper.
But if you think you’re selling accounting and financial services to your clients and that is how you describe your work and what you pitch to clients, you're basically selling toilet paper.
A necessary commodity with very little differentiation, and low value to the client.
And, this means you’re really missing out on money, satisfaction, and connection with your clients.
In this episode, I’m walking you through how to stop selling toilet paper and start selling what your clients really want, so that you enjoy get to enjoy the sales process more, you make more money, and you provide even better service to your clients.

96. When to quit vs. when to keep going
01 Aug 2023
00:17:08
Quitting has a lot of negative connotations in our culture.
And yet how often do you wish you could quit your job, your business, your obligations for a day or indefinitely? Especially as a tired or burnt out accounting or finance pro?
If you're considering any type of quitting, how do you decide?
Because sometimes quitting is the best answer. And other times, sticking with it is the best answer.
The problem is that most of us aren't equipped to make this choice consciously or confidently.
And then we tend to choose to stay stuck instead of taking actions that work for us.
Listen to find out how to make this choice, questions to answer as you evaluate, and how to move forward with confidence in whatever you decide.

95. The three least profitable words for financial pros
24 Jul 2023
00:06:59
There are three words that you likely say every day that are robbing you of the success, time, and profits you desire in your business.
These words sound innocent and simple when you say them. But they suck all the creativity and knowledge right out of you.

Whether you identify as overwhelmed, overworked, tired, or stuck, today’s episode can help you move forward and get out of a rut in your accounting or financial service business.
Too many professionals deal with overwhelm in some form on a daily basis. It impacts your productivity, your desire to do the work, and can cause all sorts of indecision and stagnation.

It could even show up in things that feel silly but really slow down your day, like, deciding what to wear, when to ask a question, what to say, or where to eat lunch.
Today I’m sharing an excerpt from one of my popular classes that has helped women like you overcome overwhelm in their business, and feel productive, functional, and in control again. Enjoy!

As an accounting or finance professional, emotions are probably not high on your list of things you want to talk about or deal with at work.
In fact, if you’re like me when I was an accountant, you believe emotions have little to no place at work.
However, what I've learned is that the opposite is true.
Understanding and managing your emotions is key to your success.
But perhaps not in the way you’re thinking about it currently.
In this episode I'm talking specifically about the emotional piece of the model I shared in episode 92 and how it can make your work and life so much less stressful and more enjoyable.

One of the top complaints I hear from the accountants I coach (and my accounting friends) is that there is never enough time.
You want to get all the things done, and feel like a successful, skilled professional who always achieves and follows through for your clients and team, but you also would love to have a life, see your family, sleep, and maybe even workout sometimes.
There are so many ways to solve for creating enough time and managing your time.
But, I think there are actually a lot of things that you don't even realize are productivity killers and time wasters.
Many of them are just normal things we do each day and pretty standard patterns of getting through stressful or busy times.
Or even normal times.
I think you will be surprised by some of these top 7 time sucks I share today. And of course I include suggestions for how you can counteract them.

Today I want to talk about the tool that guides pretty much everything I do in my business, my life, and my coaching.
It’s called the self coaching model and it was created and popularized by Brooke Castillo of the Life Coach School.
It is so simple and also so powerful.
The results people consistently create with it are what convinced me to get certified in this tool specifically.
Essentially the model is a simple way to break down the elements of everything in your life and work into a simple, understandable, solvable format.
In this episode I'm walking you through what this self coaching model is, how it works, and how to use it to create what you want.

Playtime is not just for kids.
Studies show play is one of the most effective ways to learn and grow for all humans.
And when you play and have fun, for the sake of having fun, you reduce your stress, increase your creativity and problem solving, and improve your work performance and personal relationships.
But what is play and how do you do more of it? Listen in to find these answers and more.

Stop trying to control other people and situations

Imagine if you could simply hand everyone in your life a manual telling them how to behave so that you can go about your day with ease and happiness.
You wouldn't have to spend so much time and effort attempting to manipulate and control people so they'll do what you want.
Today I want to give you an alternative that while not as magical as a manual, can still let you stop controlling people.
It will help you feel in control, despite what other people do. And it will free up so much of your time and energy so you can spend it on the things you actually care about.
