When you start your firm, you do everything. Everything. That’s the nature of going out on your own.

For the first 3-4 years of firm running, I was SO afraid. So very afraid. Of everything. I was afraid of messing up, of wasting time, of wasting money, all of it.

Last week, I enjoyed a week away from work / home / the US with our family for Spring Break > cute family photo on LinkedIn here. This LinkedIn post spawned a comment-conversation about how I don’t feel bogged down by email when I get back from a no-email-checking vacation.

Your accounting firm can stay ultra-small…and you can hire. Both can be true. You don’t have to do it all yourself. And you don’t have to feel like you’ve lost a battle if bringing someone into your work would help you.

There were a couple great follow up questions coming out of last week’s email that were worth answering here for the group.
