I have been fortunate enough to locate an artist who is also a bookkeeper. Yes, that's right. You heard me. She's a creative accountant, an organized artist, a visionary who can balance her checkbook. I wonder why I like her.
Her website www.fishchild.com showcases her talent and her sense of humor (a humorous accountant, hmmm.)
She is working with me on some illustrations and came up with this one which I am turning into my personal/business note card.
Here's what I need from you.
I need a caption to put on the back of the card, along with her credits (Mary Patterson) and a link to this nerdy website. If you know a creative with a sense of humor, please ask them to weigh in on this one. I will give you credit on this website and on the back of the notecard if your clever caption wins.
So start off the New Year helping an accountant out - 'kay?

James Lipton had Jay Leno as his guest on the Actor's Studio. (I have such a hard time taking James Lipton seriously- I keep forgetting it is really him and not Will Ferrel playing him on Saturday Night Live.) His guests are always entertaining and he asks good questions, especially the one about their favorite cuss word. Client Speedtax has just taken my little ole content and turned it into an amazing website. Analogies are a powerful way to turn a boring subject into a memorable statement. Last week I attended a conference for wineries who wanted to incorporate more green practices into their operations. It was amazing to me how far along wineries already are in their efforts to operate sustainable farms and to take care of their environment. This quote comes from Seth Godin who always has remarkable ideas - but this one really struck a chord with me: |

I am an accountant on a mission. I want to permanently remove the blight of BORING that has attached itself to members of my profession.
But the boring blight doesn't stop there. It's everywhere. I've found it in wineries (although it's a tad more palatable when served with alcohol), in science labs, even in Art museums. And technology people carry the "B" gene too. But the condition need not be fatal. I lecture around the country to accountants and technology audiences and I have a ball. I was a partner in an Atlanta CPA firm when I realized technology was my true passion and I have been fighting the nerd versus geek battle ever since. Through some stroke of absolutely amazing luck, I now find myself in Napa -- the most gorgeous, hospitable place imaginable. Are you on Twitter? You can follow my nerdy life there : evenanerd Contact me [email protected] I am a graduate of the Jeff Justice Comedy Workshoppe and the Persuasive Speaker course taught by Speechworks. I highly recommend both of these organizations. I have also taken training from the amazing Lynda Spillane. I am not unbiased, nor do I wish to be. I have done work for anyone and everyone in the software industry or the accounting profession. If I am not impressed by what you do or can't find an angle that is interesting or unique, I won't work for or with you. And if you are stodgy or boring, there are not enough dollars or even euros to make me help you. See samples of my writing here: www.salestaxradar.com www.mybizcounts.com Archives
