Nodes

Yesterday I learned two things from the same street in Soho.

The first was that when you try and force yourself into the box that society/the system has made for you, you may very well die.

The second was that when you design your own box, then connect it with those of other like-hearted people, you become a node, enabling yourself and everyone around you to be so much more than society/the system expects.

It might just be me, but it feels like the nodes are winning, in spite of everything the system/society is throwing at them.

More than meets the eye.

More than meets the eye.

This man looks like the stereotypical accountant.  Formal, old-fashioned, perhaps a bit uncomfortable with people.

Except he is actually one half of the first team to conquer Everest.  Tenzing Norgay.  Who partnered Edmund Hillary to achieve his dream.

If Mr Tenzing can look like an accountant, perhaps it’s time to revise your view of your accountant.   Who knows, they may just be the partner you’ve been looking for to help you achieve your dreams.

There’ll certainly be more to him or her than meets the eye.

 

 

PS I’ll be giving a short talk on “How to get the most out of your business accountant” on the 26th September at the Metro Bank in Bexleyheath. 

This is a breakfast networking event that runs from 8am to 9.30am and is free to attend.
