\ncall me before you do anything: the art of accounting<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

i\u2019ve written about the 10 reasons for my success. i received quite a few calls about that and i came up with some regrets, so i\u2019m sharing them here.<\/p>\n

more:<\/b> getting bonuses from clients<\/a> | yes, christopher columbus had an accountant<\/a> | 10 reasons for my success<\/a> | when the kids don\u2019t want to take over<\/a> | staff may surprise you with leadership<\/a>

1. not taking off fridays: i could have taken off either every friday or monday and extended the weekend.
\n
\nthis would have greatly improved the quality of my life while taking very little away from my work or productivity. this is even more so now in this age of 24\/7 connectivity where you can handle calls and emails easily while not in the office.<\/p>\n

2. not getting rid of nasty people who were clients: i will also add \u201cor those who paid below reasonable fees.\u201d the quality of my life certainly would have been better without them, while my revenue would not have taken much of a hit. i would have had more time to spend with my nice clients who paid the right fees.<\/p>\n

3 to 10: can\u2019t think of any other regrets. there have been some bad business decisions, some bad things and some mistakes, but that is part of being in business. one of the most unpleasant things i had to do was perpetual fighting with some clients over fees and also to get paid (a minor few, but enough to be annoying). this is regretful, but not a regret because this seems to be a universal issue among everyone in business, not just accountants. and most of the blame probably goes to me for not conducting my business affairs as diligently as i should have. so, unpleasant \u2013 yes; a regret \u2013 no.<\/p>\n

obviously, if i knew then what i know now, i would not have any regrets or second thoughts about unpleasant things, but c\u2019est la vie. paul anka\u2019s lyrics (as sung by frank sinatra) definitely apply to me: \u201cregrets, i\u2019ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention.\u201d<\/p>\n

#1 and #2 are no longer regrets, but were for a good part of my career. look at your regrets and fix them now. i have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
