Episode 79. In today's practical episode, "Postcards From Practice - Achievements Accountants Can Emulate".

Martin Bissett shares a letter from an accounting practitioner outlining some of their major achievements in the last year, and asks what stops other professionals doing similar things.

Key takeaways from this episode include:

✓ The importance of evidence based tips that really work rather than theories and ideas

✓ Examples of what an accounting practitioner has actually done in 12 months

✓ The difference between talking about things and doing it for accounting professionals

✓ The importance for accountants and CPAs of ditching your worst 'grade D' clients

✓ The biggest potential growth area for an accounting professional who is willing to learn, seek coaching and take action

✓ A reminder of what kind of self talk undermines the professional achievements of accountants and CPAs

✓ Debating who is in a better position to effect change - the sole accounting practitioner or the employed accounting practitioner

✓ Why everyone is responsible for their own achievements and success, especially in accountancy

✓ What accountants must start doing if they're going to truly achieve their goals and achieve big things
