Leading Yourself Under Pressure ~ A Podcast For Accountants, CPAs, Bookkeepers, Tax Preparers And High-Stress Professionals

If you’re an accountant, CPA, bookkeeper, tax preparer, business owner, or other high-stress professional, there’s something I know for sure.  Having spent over 20 years in accounting and owning my own business, I know we’re really good at getting things done.  We meet deadlines, we solve problems, we take care of our clients, we answer the emails, we handle emergencies, we make the numbers work.  And when something needs to get done, we’re often the person other people know they can count on.  That’s a good thing, but sometimes there’s a downside to being really good at getting things done.  You can start to believe that how much you accomplish determines how valuable you are.  And when that happens, slowing down can feel uncomfortable for you.  Taking a day off can feel irresponsible. Having an unproductive day can make you feel guilty.  And sometimes, even when you’re doing a great job, you still feel like you’re not doing enough.  So today I want to talk about something that I think is underneath a lot of the pressure high-stress professionals experience.  Let’s dive in… 

Whether you’re an accountant, CPA, bookkeeper, tax preparer, business owner, or other high-stress professional, this episode will give you practical ideas you can use to think more clearly, respond more intentionally, and get more out of life.

Many high-performing professionals experience feeling behind.  You may be behind on your work, behind on your emails, behind on your projects, your goals, things at home, or even behind on taking care of yourself.  Sometimes, you can even feel behind before the day has really started.  You wake up thinking about everything you didn’t finish yesterday.  You check your email and there are twelve new messages.  You look at your calendar and it’s already full.  Then you look at your to-do list and you think, “I’m already behind.”  If you’ve ever had that thought and you’re an accountant, CPA, bookkeeper, tax preparer, business owner, or other high-stress professional I want to offer you a different way to think about it.  Let’s dive in… 

Whether you’re an accountant, CPA, bookkeeper, tax preparer, business owner, or other high-stress professional, this episode will give you practical ideas you can use to think more clearly, respond more intentionally, and get more out of life.

Something I see over and over again with accountants, CPAs, bookkeepers, tax preparers, business owners, and other high-stress professionals is that they are always saying yes.  Yes to another client request.  Yes to another deadline.  Yes to helping someone on your team.  Yes to answering the email right away.  Yes to taking care of something that really isn't yours to take care of.  Yes to one more responsibility.  Yes to your family.  Yes to your friends.  Yes to everyone who needs something from you.  And sometimes, you say yes so often that you don't even realize you're doing it.  You just keep saying yes.  And then you look at your calendar and wonder, How did I get so busy?  Let’s dive in… 

Whether you’re an accountant, CPA, bookkeeper, tax preparer, business owner, or other high-stress professional, this episode will give you practical ideas you can use to think more clearly, respond more intentionally, and get more out of life.

Have you ever had one of those days where you look at your calendar, your inbox, your to-do list, your text messages, and everything seems to be demanding your attention?  If you’re an accountant, CPA, bookkeeper, tax preparer, business owner, or other high-stress professional, you’ve probably experienced it.  You’ve got a client who needs something.  You’ve got a deadline coming up.  You’ve got an employee who needs an answer.  You’ve got emails you haven’t responded to.  You’ve got a project that’s already behind.  Maybe you’re trying to grow your business.  Maybe you’re trying to take care of your family.  Maybe you promised yourself you'd finally make time for exercise or something you enjoy.  And then you look at everything and think How am I supposed to get all of this done.  Do you ever wonder how you could stop feeling overwhelmed?  Let’s look at how you can make better decisions when everything feels important.  Let’s dive in…

Whether you’re an accountant, CPA, bookkeeper, tax preparer, business owner, or other high-stress professional, this episode will give you practical ideas you can use to think more clearly, respond more intentionally, and get more out of life.

You’re good at managing your work.  But who’s managing you?  If you’re an accountant, CPA, bookkeeper, tax preparer, business owner, or other high-stress professional, you’re probably used to managing deadlines, clients, responsibilities, and an endless list of things that need to get done.  But managing your work and leading yourself under pressure are two different things.  You probably have calendars, task lists, deadlines, reminders, spreadsheets, systems, processes, and maybe even a color-coded system for keeping everything organized.  You know how to manage a client.  You know how to manage a project.  You know how to manage a deadline.  You know how to manage a business.  But here’s the question I want you to think about today.  Who’s managing you?  Let’s dive in…

Whether you’re an accountant, CPA, bookkeeper, tax preparer, business owner, or other high-stress professional, this episode will give you practical ideas you can use to think more clearly, respond more intentionally, and get more out of life.
