More Than Just Ideas I was lucky to start my career at one of the Big Four accounting firms. Looking back, the most valuable part of my experience was having access to a wonderful support system that was set up to help us get ahead: but it doesn’t mean you have to go without one. In my case, I just had to become self-sufficient and build my own support system. We Find Solutions — Together!
When I started working with Borbala, it was just the two of us in the practice, but both of us understood that we could only go so far alone. Over the years, we’ve belonged to various coaching, support, and mastermind groups. Some groups were very goal-oriented, some were marketing-related, and others were more focused on personal development.
• I had an experienced “buddy” to help me with the day-to-day small issues. • My mentor helped me stay focused on my long-term goals. • Personal development conferences were a regular thing. • Technical knowledge trainings were even more frequent. To be honest, at the time, some of these conferences felt like a chore, and we did it just to make HR happy. In retrospect, these were the valuable experiences that continue to help me to this day.
Why do we belong to mastermind groups?
These are only a few examples of the value we get:
• We can tap into the experience of other business owners who face similar problems. • We hear new perspectives that help us think bigger. • It’s a great way to set time aside and focus on the big picture. • It helps us find new solutions. • And, of course, we get to celebrate our achievements!
Howmuch more could you achieve if you had access to the best support system that was designed to help you get ahead?
Working for yourself or for a small company can be challenging because you don’t have access to a ready-made support system,
Recently, we rented additional office space to set up a conference room. Our goal is to provide a space where we can find
solutions together. Take action!
You don’t have to build your business alone! We would like to invite you to our in-person growth days that we host with a group of motivated business owners. You’ll love spending a day with like- minded entrepreneurs! Email Borbala@ConciergeCPAs.com for details.
