I am sick of me writing about this. Do you ever get sick of yourself? I am sick of me. But every day I see more propaganda about the #AmericanDream of owning the home. I will tell you the reasons I will never #OwnAHome again. Maybe some of you have read this before from me. I will try to add. Or, even better, be more concise. …see more

I don’t say that to scare you away from vacations. Quite the opposite! I want you to know that I understand how overwhelming it can be to get ready for vacation. But I also know that vacation is absolutely ESSENTIAL to your mental, physical, and spiritual health. It can boost your energy, productivity, and happiness like nothing else. For me, it’s simply not an option to skip vacation. I need it. You do, too. And there’s a better way to prepare for vacation—a way that won’t stress you out! …see more

I know it's hard, but multitasking is counterproductive. The best way to check items off your to-do list is to focus and tackle one task at a time!

“Meetings aren’t work. Meetings are places to go to talk about things you’re supposed to be doing later.” - Jason Fried. Here are some of my favorite TED talks and blogs for making most of your meetings.

Apple News has for me become the unexpected new big new app in my life. Swapping rabid Twitter for a widely curated list of top titles gives me hope there is a way to pay for quality news, pulled through into a premium place, and that actively seems to provide coverage from right and left wing media . Wish we could somehow find something between the Twitter and this and stop the monthly costs rising as fast as they do based on micropayments …see more

I know #marketing plans are fubar right now but there's no such thing as "being top of mind" during a pandemic. Your brand, by default, takes a backseat to how we are navigating this new normal.

Yesterday, I posted the Shakespeare quotation, "We know what we are, but not what we may be." I was reminded of that truth this afternoon, watching the Northwestern University Wildcats compete against the Vanderbilt University Commodores in the NCAA March Madness Basketball Tournament. I attended Northwestern in the 1979-80 school year, and worked several years in the Athletic Department afterward. Several of my closest friends are NU grads. The school is known for its academic excellence, but a 1996 trip to the Rose Bowl aside, athletics haven't been the claim to fame. Well, you can't win if you're not in the game, and the game ain't over 'til the final buzzer. Congratulations, NU. for your historic first trip to the NCAA Tournament, and good luck against Gonzaga University on Saturday! #MarchMadness #GoWildcats #Northwestern …see more

There are a number of cyber risks popping up that can put your systems and data at risk. Bad actors are taking advantage of remote workers - here's what you nee to look out for. #cpalove #accountantlove #cybersecurity #radicalcpa #cyberthreats #cpa #accountants #cyberattacks #cpafirm #taxseason Links: Setting up 2 Step Verification on Google https://lnkd.in/eziT2Nw Setting up 2 Step Verification on Office 365 https://lnkd.in/ejYpcjQ Phishing attacks 1) Do links in emails look suspicious? 2) A sophisticated attack can look like its coming from someone you know. Follow up with that person outside of email to verify it is not a scam. 3) Remind your team and clients that these types of attacks will increase over the next few months as companies migrate to "work from home" for the first time. 4) Enable 2 Step Verification (aka 2SV, 2FA, MFA, OTP) on as many accounts as possible so that stolen usernames/passwords alone become useless. This won't prevent you from getting phished, but it will mitigate potential repercussions.

If you’re like most #CPA firms, your staff is probably working from home. Hopefully, you made this shift without too much pain, but what does this mean longer term when it comes to hiring, managing and engaging staff? This pressure probably leaves you with more questions than answers. I’m talking with Jordan Birnbaum , a chief behavioral economist at ADP , to learn how we can have shared success moving forward. #CPA #accountant #coronavirus #covid19 #RadicalCPA #CPALove #AccountantLove …see more

Why fees are on the way down... that was the headline of an article on MF expenses 20 years ago in Australia. As an independent research house, we used to put pressure on MFs to reduce fees. Here in India, the regulator has to mandate it. Investors have to use their voices better - by asking questions of their advisers and funds, perhaps in social media.
