If you have read any of our blogs, you know we think you and your team deserve a balanced work schedule. This benefits you and your clients too as you gain time to focus on growth and perfecting your service offerings. If you are ready to learn the mindset shift needed to start thinking about scaling challenges creatively, this is a great episode. Geraldine Carter, coach to single-owner CPAs, joins me on this episode of Accountant’s Flight Plan and shares the mindset needed to bring your work week back to 40 hours. We dive deep into what it means to scale vs. grow a firm and the main obstacle holding you back from living the life you want.
This podcast touched on:
- Sticking to boundaries as a firm owner
- Sustainable mindsets for growth
- Creative ways to approach growth challenges
- Believing that scaling your firm is possible
Many CPAs and firm owners get stuck in the overworked grind. Getting out of this workflow is only possible if you believe a different way exists! Geraldine has helped countless firm owners reduce their weekly hours worked without losing revenue.
