Ep 16: CPA Exam - Get Focused With FAR

Ep 16: CPA Exam - Get Focused With FAR

I remember when I was studying for FAR (all 3 times). I kept telling myself it was hard. It was too much information. I’ll never remember all of this.

FAR is the story of a business - how a company makes money, financial statement accounts, accounting principles, etc. I learned a lot about how to run a business and think through transactions while I was studying. So FAR is actually pretty cool.

I’ve received a lot of questions and DMs recently about study strategies for FAR. The key is to make it relatable and practice to reinforce your learning. Here are some more things to consider when preparing for FAR.

Ep 14 BONUS Episode: Self-Inflicted Setbacks

Feeling like Ice Cube because I had something to say. Bonus episodes occur when I grab my Beats or podcast mic and say what's on my mind. In this episode, I'm talking about getting out of your own way...then my daughter called to see where I was. Catch part 2 of this episode, it was good.

Episode 10 - Failure IS An Option.

None of us want to fail. We stare failure in the face more times than we want to. If you've ever failed at anything - embrace it. We've been trained for so long that failure isn't an option but actually....it is.

This episode is an introduction to The WERKin' Mommas, the essential concierge service for busy moms.

Ep 8: MidYear Review - Me TEN Years Ago - WORKSHEET IN NOTES

We're halfway through 2019 - are you still #GOALS? Listen to this episode to start having real career discussions with your boss. You still have 6 months to finish strong. I'm reading my REAL midyear reviews so y'all can understand your manager's feedback better. To help you get started having the conversation, download the Employee-Manager 1:1 Meeting template for pointers. bit.ly/2IJdduC

This is the same template I created TEN years ago when I needed to get candid feedback from my boss. While some feedback was great and some wasn't what I wanted to hear, it was what I needed to hear to elevate myself. If you need to level up in these corporate streets, then grab your template. You can start doing better TODAY. bit.ly/2IJdduC
