#124 - What Most Accountants Get Wrong About Continuing Education


Listen Later

Have you ever signed up for a CPE course just because it was free?

Or filled your calendar with webinars, telling yourself it was the "smart" thing to do—when deep down, you were actually avoiding something else?

You're not the only one.

This week on The Smarter Accountant Podcast, I'm talking about something that doesn't get discussed nearly enough: how continuing education can become a sneaky form of avoidance—and why it's keeping so many accountants stuck.

Sure, we all need the credits. And of course, learning is valuable. But if you've ever wondered why all the learning still doesn't make you feel more confident, more capable, or more in control—this episode explains why.

What Most Accountants Get Wrong About Continuing Education is one of those episodes that might challenge the way you think—but in the best possible way.

This episode is especially for you if:

  • You've ever said, "Once I finish this course, then I'll feel ready.
  • You keep chasing certifications but still struggle with confidence.
  • You've taken tons of CPE but don't feel like you're moving forward.
  • You're tired of checking boxes and want real growth that actually sticks.
  • You're curious if there's a smarter, more intentional way to learn and lead.

Here's to growing on purpose—not just collecting certificates.
