10: What I Learned at Scaling New Heights 2023

Send Beth a text!

I only attend one accounting conference each year. In this episode I talk about what I learned by going to this conference held in St. Louis this summer.

Even though I attend each year, there is always something that I learn and can take back to my firm or use in my personal life to help me achieve my goals. Not all conferences are created equal but this one stands out as being relevant and NOT boring.

From managing awkward moments to fangirling over a CPA I only knew through social media, the experiences were worth the long days.

Send Beth a text!

I had no intention of taking such a long time off from podcasting but I'm back! Listen to hear why I didn't keep up, why I couldn't get started again, and why I think it's all okay.

Between a busy work season; life, death, illness, and travel; and wondering if I'm even qualified to be podcasting, a few weeks turned into a few months.

We're going to call this season 2 and just continue where we left off!

8: Confidence in No

Send Beth a text!

It's tempting to say yes to everything to keep people happy, keep yourself busy, or because of fear of missing out on something. In this episode I talk about the power of getting confident in the word No.

I gained confidence after years of fearing the word in these ways by:

1) Not providing EVERY service. 

2) Saying no to protect my calendar.

3) Saying no when working with clients that aren't a good fit.

4) Being willing to accept a no on any given proposal without any emotional turmoil

Learn some key phrases to let people down gently and build a referral network you trust and you can gain confidence in the word No, too!
