What is one lesson that you have learned that has proven significant in your career?
There are so many, but right now, I just came back from QuickBooks Connect. You can find a hashtag for it on Instagram and Facebook if you want to look it up.
They had speakers there. One of the speakers said, "The purpose is bigger than the thing that you do." Yes, we can be accountants, lawyers, or anything. But the purpose is what matters, right?
The reason I got into this industry is to help others. I am able to do it through my schooling, education, and skills. But my real purpose is to serve others.
