Today I went to see John (our Accountant) and discuss a proposal for a web site. It's not usual in these sort of situations to come away from the meeting thinking "Wow! he should invoice me for that!" but that's what happened.
After I made the pitch for the business, we starting chatting about this and that. After about 5 minutes of chatting I'm sitting there thinking I should be taking notes!
He's been there, done that...... and he's got the T-Shirt
You see, John has been there and done that. He's seen a million businesses. Seen some fail, seen some succeed. And he's a no BS sort of guy. Exactly the sort of person you need on your team. And his team is exactly the sort of team to have on your side.
Now, I'm a fairly independent sort of person. I'm usually happy to roll the dice and take my chances. But with smart people on my team (Like John and his team) then the chances of our success continuing on are greatly, greatly enhanced.
As a businessperson I can't do it all. I need help. I know that if I get the best possible team around me (from legal to accounting to insurance, etc) then the success of my business will increase a huge amount.
Talking with John today was a great reminder of that. And even if he doesn't go ahead with the web site, he's already given me something very valuable. Thanks John.
Regards
Brendon
