If you haven't already noticed, the accounting industry is struggling, big time. Unfortunately though, our profession also normalizes the struggles - stress, overwhelm, frustration, not enough time, too many demands, not being valued, overcommitting - I could go on but you get the drift.
But here's the tricky thing that I've noticed with accountants - we have a hard time asking for help. It's as if we see our intelligence as a sign that we should be able to figure things out so there's no need to get support.
The issue is that this "I'm smart - I've got this" attitude is actually not very smart and can lead to more problems than necessary. Our intelligence is both a gift and a curse because we have the tendency to make very intelligent excuses for why things are the way they are, or even worse, we normalize our problems because everyone else in the industry is experiencing them too.
