- Do I have enough cash, or what do I do with my excess cash? 
- How do I make my business more valuable? How do I maximize its sale price? 
- Why is my cash flow so terrible? I have sales growth but never have enough cash. 
- How do I get better banking terms and get banks to actually want to do business with me?

This photo was taken before I understood what responsibility really meant.

Back then, leadership was just a costume.
Today, it’s weight.

I was just a kid dressed as Simba.
No idea what it meant to make decisions.
No idea how many people could eventually depend on you getting them right.

Fast forward a few decades.
I’m a husband.
A dad to three girls.
And I work every day alongside 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 who carry more responsibility than most people ever see.

For a long time, I thought success meant:
• bigger numbers
• faster growth
• hitting the next milestone

And then moving on without looking back.
But working inside construction companies and agribusinesses changes how you see things.
When margins are thin.
When cash flow timing matters.
When weather, labor, logistics, and lenders all show up at once.

You learn quickly that growth without clarity isn’t success...it’s stress.

Over the years, I’ve seen strong businesses doing everything “right” operationally…
and still feeling fragile financially.

That’s why I believe so strongly in 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵.

Not growth for ego.
Not growth because someone says you 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥.
But growth that supports the business 𝗮𝗻𝗱 the life behind it.

That kid in the Simba costume didn’t know it yet.

But leadership was coming.
Responsibility was coming.
And eventually, the opportunity to help others carry it better.

Grateful for the work.
Grateful for the people.
And excited for what’s ahead.

Onward into 2026. 🦁

One of the biggest complaints clients have about their accountants isn’t numbers or technical skill. 

It’s communication.

Not just “I sent an email and didn’t hear back.” That’s a problem too. 

But more often, it’s the silence during the work itself.

Clients want to know: Where are we in the process? What’s next? What should I expect?

Here’s the harsh truth: most accountants are overworked. They don’t have the bandwidth to communicate proactively. And without clear expectations set at the start, frustration is inevitable.

If you want to stand out as an accountant, communication isn’t optional. It’s how you turn overworked and invisible into trusted and indispensable.

“I want this year to be bigger.”

More revenue.
Better clients.
A stronger brand.
More opportunity.

Have you said or thought any of the above? 

If so, I love that. 

But here is the truth I have learned in my own business and working with hundreds of firms.

A bigger year requires a bigger level of honesty.

You can't reach new goals with last year’s habits.
You can't attract better clients if you never show up where they are.
You can't grow your firm if you keep protecting your comfort zone.

And you can't outwork a broken system.

If you want a different year, you need a different rhythm.
One that is consistent.
One that builds authority.
One that helps the right people find you and the wrong ones filter out.

The firms that grow are the ones who stop hiding.
They post.
They follow up.
They tighten their offers.
They lead with their voice, not generic content.
They show up where their ideal clients are hanging out.
They spend time networking with the right people, not just prospects but people who inspire them.

And they say no more often.
To bad fits.
To chaos.
To things that take them away from what they are building.

If you want a bigger year, it’s absolutely possible, but it likely requires some changes. 

Which change will you focus on first?
