Kite

Summer is coming!


You may want to take a day off to fly a kite or perhaps tell a few of your clients to go fly one.  Whatever your mood, now is the time to start planning on how to move ahead in your business - working on it rather than in it.

Come to Members' Morning on May 28th!
 
Also, on June 3, join Chris Frederiksen on the Tax Debriefing Conference Call to share experiences and learn what others have done to improve the process for next year.
If you would like more information on this please email us at info@2020canada.ca .

We have a new inspirational movie to help you keep your kite aloft and renew the warm breezes in your life. This month it is entitled "Great Quotations from Great Leaders".

Building Tomorrow's Practice

Elements for Success
 
Workshop
Two Day Seminar - June 4th and 5th, 2008
Four Points Sheraton, Toronto Airport West

The "Building Tomorrow's Practice" workshop will transform your view of what is possible in your practice. With a different perspective on a service you already provide, we will show you how to earn more money in fewer hours, engage in more rewarding work, and easily attract clients who value and pay well for what you bring. The simple truth is that while our profession has changed dramatically, most accountants continue to practice in the same way. As a result, we are missing a significant opportunity that is right under our noses.

What is this "different perspective"?

If you are like most accountants, you already advise clients. The problem is, most of us give away or get paid very little for our most valuable knowledge and experience. We will show how you how to add structure and process around your advice to earn larger fees, often well beyond hours worked.

This workshop is filled with practical information and actions you can immediately begin to apply. You will benefit from the collective wisdom of hundreds of firms, from sole practitioners to large regional firms who are enjoying the rewards of this approach. This workshop will re-energize your practice. Applying just some of what you gain from this workshop will help you organically evolve towards a more lucrative and rewarding practice.

Presented by:
Rick Solomon, CPA.

Rick's unique, no-nonsense to practice development has helped thousand of accountants around the world add millions of dollars to their practices, and increase their enjoyment as well. Rick is the CEO and President of RAN ONE Americas (www.ranone.com)
