170.1: CareerTalk – Some Things Never Change

Where Accountants Go - The Accounting Careers Podcast

In this CareerTalk mini-episode of Where Accountants Go, the Accounting Careers Podcast, we talk about a core truth to the employment market. I had this insight while reading a quote from Michael Hyatt in a newsletter. The newsletter was meant for business owners, but the concept applies equally to anyone providing a service for compensation... such as all of us that are employed. While the economic market has definitely changed, and even the way we work has dramatically changed in recent days, there is one truth that has certainly not changed. That truth is that to be successful, we still have to do one very important thing: provide something of value to someone that needs it. Whether that is a product you produce, or a service you perform, you must provide value to your customer (employer) in order to continue to thrive. As odd as it may sound to you, I find comfort in this thought. While everything may be changing around us, the ultimate determining factor to whether or not you (and I) will be successful, remains the same. We need to provide something that helps others. If we can be of any assistance in any way in your career, please reach out to us. We are happy to help. Mark Goldman, CPA
