bissett bullet: threat vs. opportunity

today’s bissett bullet: “there’s always something on the horizon with the potential to negatively impact the economy. if it’s not a global pandemic, it’s the threat of war or a general election.”

by martin bissett

there is also always opportunity. according to a report by accountancy age, even during the covid-19 pandemic and ensuing lockdown, the accounting profession grew and not just in terms of necessary compliance work. advisory services are seen as business critical in uncertain times and clients are happy to pay for additional support. we need to understand that they will look to us for certainty, for security and to point the way forward.

don’t see threat, see opportunity. learn to be the rock in the storm, find a way to deliver new value to your clients and thrive while the competition is listening to the media and worrying about how they’ll survive.

today’s to-do:

what is being reported in the news right now that could be cause for concern to some or all of your clients? what opportunities could it present? pick up the phone; find out what value you could offer your clients.
