    I used to think I needed more time. If I just had more time, I could solve so many more problems. But thinking that way never solved enough problems to give me more time. Instead, I maintained a status quo of “never having enough time.”


    You might want more time. More free time. For your health. For your family. To travel. You might think you need more time. But “more time” isn’t the solution to the “not-enough-time” problem. 


    If what you want is more time, the answer lies in changing what you think.


    Changing what you think in order to get what you want might be the simplest but hardest thing you can do. 


    I hope you’ll accept the challenge. :)

  • 289 Fear of Niche Boredom with Jonathan Stark

    Announcing the *NEW* Client Success Stories podcast: 

    https://business-strategy-for-cpas-success-stories.transistor.fm/

    👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆


    I talk with Jonathan Stark about the fear of niche boredom and the benefits of niching down in business. 


    We explore the idea that niching down does not lead to boredom, but rather opens up new opportunities for variety and growth. 


    By focusing on a specific target market or problem, businesses can automate repetitive tasks, systematize processes, and delegate work, allowing for more free time and the ability to pursue other interests. 


    Niching down also leads to increased expertise, client satisfaction, better referrals, and higher profits. 


    Our conversation highlights the importance of creating value for clients and the fulfillment that comes from making a meaningful impact in their lives. 


    We discuss the importance of knowing your audience and how it can impact your choice of words and communication style. 


    We explore the power of niche expertise and how it can attract higher-quality leads and larger clients. 


    We also highlight the rewards of niching down, including increased revenue and a sense of stability and freedom. The conversation delves into the craft of business ownership and the need for continuous learning and improvement. 


    Finally, we emphasize the possibility of having a sense of purpose and making a meaningful difference in your clients' lives.
