Don’t Give Up
“‘Oh well’, said Miss Marble, ‘it’s just perseverance, isn’t it, that leads to things.'” — Agatha Christie
The Agatha Christie crime sleuth, Miss Jane Marple, consistently solves murder cases by demonstrating perseverance.
The many issues that need attention inside a busy, growing accounting firm must be attacked in the same way. Simply persevere!
Firm Administrators/Practice Managers, now that October 15th has passed, are facing a formidable list of things to do.
One administrator shared a list of things that need to be addressed before year-end:
- We need to become truly and wholly paperless.
- We need to hire a Tax Manager!
- We need to hire an additional administrative professional.
- Our website needs to be updated!
- We must upgrade our phone system.
- We are adding a new server (we are not in the cloud yet!).
Plus, just the daily occurrences that need attention from any firm administrator.
Many of you are facing similar challenges as the year draws to a close. It won’t be easy but keep in mind Miss Marple’s quote, above. Perseverance pays off!
- "Success comes from curiosity, concentration, perseverance, and self-criticism."
