The Designated Motivator for Accounting Professionals
Hello everyone, and welcome to the DEM disruption. I'm the host Don Brolin. I'm a certified public accountant, Certified Fraud Examiner, and the author of the designated motivator, we're here to help motivate you to take your practice to the next level. Hello, everybody, this is the DEM disruption podcast. And my goal during this podcast is to give out great content from a variety of avenues such as fellow practitioners, as application providers, vendors who you know, have the secret sauce that comes to helping you run your practice. My goal and my passion is to help every single accounting professional that's out there, help every single one of you in some capacity, I may not be able to solve all your problems, but over 23 years of experience that I've had, in setting up a cloud based anywhere access firm, that can generate a half a million dollars in eight months with three billable people. Imagine what you can do, by changing your mindset, and getting some motivation to make some changes in your practice. That's the whole purpose of the DEM disruption. It's the whole purpose of the book that's coming out this fall, called the designated motivator for accounting professionals. I'm going to take my 23 years of experience and jam it into a book that's less than 100 pages. And I'm going to build a community of people who will come and ask questions, I'm going to be there for you answer your questions, help you out with some templates, some best practices when it comes to either client interfacing or running your firm with technology, or how to advance in the world of tax resolution or fraud case work, or whatever it is you want to do. My goal is to just take everything outside of this coconut and suck it out of my brain and shove it into yours. That's my goal. It's a whole new level of experience. And that's what I'm looking for. I'm looking to help those of you who either been in business for a long time, or those of you that are just getting started. So stay tuned, we'll drip this out every week, we're going to have a new guest, or I'm just going to talk to you. I mean, my whole goal is just to be out here having conversations with you answering questions that I find out on social media or in my own community, and to help you improve your practice to get the best, most efficient, well oiled machine so that someday when you retire, you can sell that thing for a lot more money than if you don't have great processes. I'm telling you, the value of your practice is going to be determined by your acceptance of technology and implementing it in a way that will be succession proof. And that's my goal. So join me every week as we talk to various guests and again, have conversations with you and I just the two of us if you will, in the DM disruption podcast. Thank you so much. I hope you really enjoy this. Feel free to visit my website Don Brolin comm if you want to be a guest, come on, let's go.
