Title: Adding Value: Leveling Up Your Learning
“There are plenty of fish in the sea, and by helping the people in my community, that’s going to raise the tide, which is going to rise all ships.” - Andrew Wall**
Adapting to change is never easy. What we plan for versus what actually happens are often wildly different and can leave us feeling like we don’t really understand what we’re doing at all. Our plan making and business building becomes much better when we shift our thinking from a mindset of having to be right about everything, to being open to learning anything.
Automated services may be slowly replacing traditional bookkeeping functions, but this isn’t anything to fear. When you figure out what value you are able to bring to the table, your business will no longer be about compliance and meeting deadlines, but a business that lets you forecast the future to keep your clients on the cutting edge.
Time spent worrying about whether you’ll have clients or not is wasted in the face of recognising only you can do what you can do. When you’re passionate and love what you do, there is no other end result than learning, growing and becoming an expert in your field or niche.

I'm honored to be here. It's great to have you. And I'll say, I've known you for some time. We've met at conferences. I've watched lots of the stuff that you've put out on the internet and some of your thought leadership. And quite frankly, it feels like you've been on the podcast before. However, I don't think you have. It's like one of those things where I see you all the time. I feel like I've had long conversations because you seem to be everywhere. And we had some laughs at a few conferences, but it's finally great. It's been way overdue to have you on the show. Well, it's great to be here. And yeah, it does feel like we've had these conversations, but we've never actually sat down and done a recording. Recorded one. So it's great to catch up with you and be able to share this with your audience. That's right. We finally pressed record. Finally pressed record.
Andrew Wall (Oct 4): It's good. So before we get into it, let's have you tell us a little bit about your career journey leading up to this point for those that may have not fully heard that story yet. Sure.
