15: The One Where You Become The 1%

Business Advisor Podcast

In this episode of the Business Advisor Podcast Amanda shares what separates the top 1% of accounting, CPA and bookkeeping professionals from the other 99%.
And no, it isn’t a discussion on morning routines, or goal setting, or ice baths or mantras. It is a roadmap for accountants and advisors aspiring to elevate their practice and achieve significant success by adopting the mindset and practices of the top 1% in the industry.

Key Takeaways:

• Embrace Differentiation: Stand out by offering unique advisory services that distinguish you from the mass market. Differentiate through service, offer, messaging, and culture to attract the best clients.
• Challenge the Norm: Success lies in doing what others won't. Challenge established methods and be prepared to innovate and tailor your approach based on your unique strengths and market needs.
• Focus on the 1% Mindset: The top 1% of advisors achieve unparalleled success not necessarily because they know more, but because of their mindset and actions. They take risks, embrace failure as a lesson, and consistently seek ways to improve and differentiate their offerings.
• Data-Driven Decisions: Guide your business decisions with data. Track everything from marketing efforts to sales conversions to understand what works, what doesn't, and where to improve. This approach is essential for refining your strategy and ensuring your advisory services meet market demands.
• Persistence Pays Off: Building a top-tier advisory practice requires patience, persistence, and the willingness to fail and learn. Emulate the resilience of successful figures who embraced failure on their path to success.
• Seek Qualified Feedback: Only seek validation or feedback from mentors or peers who have achieved what you aspire to. Avoid taking advice from those not qualified to give it, as it could derail your innovative ideas.
• Iterative Learning and Improvement: The journey to becoming a top 1% advisor involves continuous learning, adapting, and refining your offerings based on feedback and performance data.
