COVID-19 has kept us all tucked away at home, but now restrictions have lifted, it might be a good time to revisit this concept and brainstorm ideas about how to get your business growing again.

The other night I was privileged to talk to an accountant’s discussion group and it had been years since I had done so last but I really enjoyed it.

Let me explain the principle.

If you're relying on digital websites to make your webinars successful, then think again. Get the bottom line elements for real success HERE, then add the digital assistance.

A dozen accountants from different practices in roughly the same geographical area get together once a month to have a meal and hear a guest speaker. It’s a time when they can share ideas, seek opinions and get solutions from their like minded peers who are in different bailiwicks to them. Its a change to just mixing with the same people they see in their office everyday. It’s a revitalizing experience and its one where there’s no worries about competition since there is more than enough business to go around for every accountant.

The meeting I was at was even more enjoyable because it was the Christmas one and they had a Kris Kringle gift giving so that Millie the Groodle walked away with a new dog blanket

My suggestion is that you consider putting together a group of people in similar businesses to yours from non competitive locations so that you can share ideas, inspiration, and enthusiasm. I know a group of dentists who allocate a weekend a year to do this and each participant has reported that it has increased their results and their motivation and enthusiasm for the business dramatically.
