Delayes Gratification isn’t delayed success

 ๐Ÿšซ Immediate Gratification vs. Strategic Growth ๐Ÿš€


"But I want it now!" — said every bad decision ever.


In business, the temptation for quick wins is real:

➡️ Hiring the cheapest bookkeeper

➡️ Taking on any client just to fill the pipeline

➡️ Cutting corners to save time


But here’s the truth:

Success rewards those who wait, plan, and build.


✅ Vet the right partner, even if it takes longer

✅ Say no to clients who drain more than they deliver

✅ Invest in systems before the chaos catches up


Delayed gratification isn’t a delay in success—

It’s a strategy for sustainable success.


Hold out. It’s worth it.

It's not often that I network but when I do, people are often surprised that I'm an accountant. Accountants seem to have a stereotype of being dull and forgettable. Initially people are surprised with my haircut and when they find out that I have tattoos and also a 28 year old son and most importantly can carry on conversations about college football, and non-accounting related topics. We are one of the few countries that equates our professional life around identity, so naturally when many find out I'm also a forensic accountant, there's some initial shock. I'm incredibly charismatic, can be social and mask as an extrovert but I've encountered many in my field that can't. For some reason, many investigators I've met are rigid, stoic, cold and not very personable and it's all because they have allowed what they do to become who they are. ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ข๐๐ž๐š ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฃ๐จ๐› ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐›๐ž ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐จ ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ง ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ...

Pass on Quickbooks Live Bookkeeping

  Quickbooks Live Bookkeeping = Regrets I had a consultation with a # generalcontractor yesterday who has been doing residential remodeling for 20 years. His business has been doing well UNTIL he contracted with the Quickbooks Live Bookkeeping service that Intuit offers. In total, I've heard two dozen horror stories from others that have used this service and it's hard not to feel some empathy but at the same time you get what you pay for. Intuit is trying to push independent accounting firms like myself, out of the market by selling dreams of roads paved in gold for a fraction of the price of what firms like mine usually charge. What many business owners fail to realize is that users WILL experience significant financial discrepancies, missing transactions, incorrect categorization, AND poor communication with their assigned bookkeeper. This will lead to inaccurate financial reporting and potential tax issues. I can also guarantee that the virtual bookkeeper(s) will have...

Why is it so hard for people to stop buying when there's debt to be paid? Instant Gratification: People are often drawn to the immediate pleasure of purchasing something, which can outweigh the long-term goal of being debt-free. Emotional Spending: Stress, anxiety, or feelings of inadequacy can lead to retail therapy, where buying something temporarily makes a person feel better. Cultural Pressure: Society often equates success and happiness with material possessions, making it harder to resist buying things to "keep up appearances." FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): Marketing strategies and social media amplify the fear of missing out on deals, experiences, or trends. Habitual Spending: Long-standing habits of spending, especially on credit, can make it difficult to shift to a more frugal mindset. Lack of Awareness: Some people may not fully understand their financial situation or the long-term consequences of their spending, making it easier to justify purchases. Overc...
