‘90% of tax season preparation is mental.’<\/i><\/p>\n
by dave kreycik<\/b> [add a comment: how do you get through tax season?<\/a>]<\/p>\n i attribute my success during tax season to my personal beliefs and discipline.<\/p>\n attitude is critical. wayne dyer said “like what you do, and do what you like. if you can’t change what you do, then change your attitude”. i decided i like what i do a few years back after some miserable tax seasons.<\/p>\n i tell my clients this when the opportunity arises, it helps remind me. it is amazing how much better each day goes when you have a positive attitude.<\/p>\n i condition myself for the long hours by exercising for a couple of months before tax season so my body is in shape. i view tax season as a marathon and i prepare accordingly.<\/p>\n i stay on a strict schedule of work hours and do not deviate from my routine, even on weekends. working the same hours each day keeps me in a routine, and a routine is critical for keeping my mind sharp.<\/p>\n i stay healthy. i take vitamins and minerals, eat healthy, and sleep eight hours each night. i try to make time for a weekly massage, it is amazing how much that helps.<\/p>\n i do this because i choose to practice in a rural area where help is hard to come by. therefore, i condition myself physically and mentally to work 75 back-to-back 13 hour days. i admit there is always a day or two i feel sorry for myself, but they pass quickly. i walk out on the last day feeling much the same as i did on day one.<\/p>\n to summarize the one thing to do right is to prepare mentally. 90% of tax season preparation is mental. if you are mentally prepared you can handle anything that comes your way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ‘90% of tax season preparation is mental.’ by dave kreycik in response to “tax season’s toughest lessons“ [add a comment: how do you get through tax season?] i attribute my success during tax season to my personal beliefs and discipline. … continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2254],"tags":[6],"class_list":["post-378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-growth","tag-bsg-business-builder"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
