CPA Exam Success Formula Pillar #3: Action


Listen Later

Welcome to Episode #3 of the CPA Exam Success Podcast!

Today, we’re diving into the third pillar of the CPA Exam Success Formula: Action—the piece that transforms your plan into real, measurable progress. If you’ve ever felt stuck in planning mode, overwhelmed by where to start, or frustrated that you’re not making the progress you want, this episode is for you.

I’m breaking down why taking consistent, imperfect action is the key to momentum, confidence, and ultimately, CPA Exam Success. You’ll learn how to overcome resistance and how to move forward—even when you don’t feel ready.

Most importantly, I’ll show you how to get into the feedback loop that helps you refine your study system and keep improving week after week. This is where the magic happens.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why resistance is normal—and what to do when it shows up.

✅ How to stop overthinking and start building real momentum.

✅ The value of imperfect action—and how showing up today creates confidence tomorrow.

✅ How to develop your unique study system by doing, not just planning.

✅ The 4-part STAR Framework and how it helps you study intentionally and effectively.

✅ Find Your Study Success Sweet Spot- Identify your IDEAL STUDY SYSTEM

Ask Yourself:

✨ What’s one small action I can take today to move toward my CPA Exam Success?

✨ Am I waiting to feel ready—or am I willing to act now and figure it out as I go?

✨ If I knew my efforts were adding up—even when I can’t see it—how would I show up differently?

Your Next Step:

🔥 Take 5 minutes to schedule one study session this week. That’s it. One session. One block of time you will actually show up to. Action creates clarity. Action creates confidence.

Remember:

Even if it doesn’t look like it’s working right away, something is happening every time you show up. Stay consistent. Keep taking action. Because success doesn’t come from perfect plans—it comes from persistence.

You can pass the CPA Exam. And I’m here to help you do it—step by step, study session by study session.

Until next time, keep believing in yourself and your CPA Exam Success!
