I am addicted to self help books. I have a book on getting organized but I can't find it. I have a book on how to stop procrastinating that I plan on reading tomorrow. I have had my cheese moved so many times it won't stay on my cracker. I have decided that if it takes seven steps, I will never be highly effective. And some day I will find the time to take a time management class.
But my search is now officially over. I have found a book that even I, with my ADD, non-linear, idea-filled, nerdy accountant's brain can actually apply. Successfully! Over and over again.
It's called "The Corporate Rebel's Productivity Guide" and as far as I'm concerned, its eight simple strategies are the secrets of the universe. Betsy Burroughs, the author, has given us the literary equivalent of the eight wonders of the world.
The book is a quick read, in large print, with plenty of room for note taking in the margins (another nerdy habit and the reason I don't like library books).
I have never been able to actually apply any of the learnings of any of those other books but this one hit me right between the eyes. It defines easy to follow processes, which is the key to succeeding at just about anything. Plus I think it's cool that I am a "corporate rebel"!
The book is not officially in print yet, but when this baby hits the streets, the world is not gonna know what hit it. Millions of us corporate rebels are going to finally start producing stuff. Lookout world, here we come.

How to hire 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
