LET ME EXPLAIN... (1) Planning is part <strong>of</strong> the adventure, whether it is a vacation or an innovative new way to solve a<br />

problem. (2) Optimism is contagious. We all want to be around positive people that inspire us to be our best selves.<br />

(3) Excel is the lifeblood <strong>of</strong> accounting! (4) In the digital age where almost everything is in s<strong>of</strong>tware, the pen is<br />

mostly for note taking. (5) Remember that “introvert” does not mean “shy.” It means how we recharge our batteries.<br />

Famous introverts have had a pr<strong>of</strong>ound impact on the world, so if you are one… be proud! (6) We were given two<br />

ears and one mouth for a reason. (7) As a remote worker now, I find that the c<strong>of</strong>fee pot is my nearby friend. (8) What<br />

happens today matters to enable the future, both in relationships and in business. (9) Two-way dialogue extracts<br />

information that cannot be obtained from email. It also creates valuable relationships. (10) I enjoy the extensive<br />

relationship-building opportunities. (11) No matter what we are working on, the mantra is: “Focus & Simplify.” (12)<br />
