Description

Have you ever looked back and thought, “Why didn’t I do that differently?”

 

Have you ever felt like your career doesn’t quite feel the way you hoped it would—but you can’t put your finger on why?

 

You’re not alone.

 

This week on The Smarter Accountant Podcast, I’m opening up about the top 5 career mistakes I’ve made in my 35+ years as an accountant—and why I hope you don’t make them too.

 

These aren’t mistakes like missing deadlines or forgetting to reply to an email. These are the sneaky, brain-driven habits that feel smart at the time...but quietly lead to burnout, frustration, and a career that doesn’t feel fulfilling.

 

This episode is especially for you if:

 

  • You feel like you're doing all the “right” things but still aren’t satisfied
     
  • You’re stuck in the cycle of overworking and people-pleasing
     
  • You’ve never really defined what “enough” or “success” means to you
     
  • You’re wondering if your career path is really working for your life
     

If any of that sounds familiar, I promise this episode will give you a new perspective—and a lot of relief.
