2 Minutes Business Article Title: How To Think Like The Professionals I dont know how true, but if you know, thats fine! I heard it was Chief Obafemi Awolowo who said once that; “Everyone must thrive to know everything about something and something about everything.” In other words, be a professional at one/many things if you have the ability, and also, be versatile. Think Like An Accountant In a very concise laymans sense, an accountant is one who records how money comes, how money goes, and then, the difference/details. Is this what you cannot do for yourself? No, just about anyone can do this. Recently, I was offered a Job to be an accountant for an Organisation I Coordinated a project for. When I got the call, I was asked if I can work as an accountant? I said yes. The offer came because of the way I managed funds on the project. I didnt take the Job though because of a bigger assignment. My knowledge of accounting came from a fast food restaurant I worked for some years back, where I worked as an auditor and learnt on the Job. It was in that same company I learnt to work as an Inventory officer, supervisor, manager, and a chef. Little did I know that all these skills will eventually turn me into a consultant who advises business people. In life, we will always have opportunities to learn, and people around who can teach us - Its up to us to take the challenge and learn. Every experience you learn where you work, will be very useful to you when you start your own business, so, put your heart to it, and give your best. We might not necessarily reap where we sow, but, we eventually reap what we sow in life. Thinking like an accountant is as simply as understanding that a car is a depreciating asset, while a Land/House is an appreciating asset. Lean to invest in assets not Liabilities. All great entrepreneurs are accountants without certificates. Even if they have it, they dont need it. PLConsulting... BB: 265A987A @Paulvanplc leadership-plc.blogspot
