Wonderful blog, Robin. I do think the inability to accept this type of change is generational. Soon, most people in the work force will accept this as the norm, not the exception. Yes, it used to be you could train for a skill in your late teens/early 20s and earn a living do just that for the next 50 years. But no longer. And many older Americans resent this dynamic and the need for learning new skills. I see them then blame the politicians when in fact it is just the market economy, and economy they enjoy and benefit from.

I often wonder what change will affect bookkeeping that will turn my world on its axis. Although I do not prepare federal income taxes, if we get to a simpler tax system or a National Sales Tax, that could lessen the complexity of reporting to the government. Could be POS systems can track all this. However, companies will still need numbers and analyses for management decisions and for obtaining capital. And even the most sophisticated accounting systems require human oversight. For now, at least.

Today I was having a conversation about our businesses and there is uncertainty all around us but we can check ourselves and make sure we are doing all we can do and not be the shoulda, woulda, couldas of the future. This was exactly what I needed today. Printing off now posting on my mirror. Thank you Robin, as always. Jean

Hi Robin, This has certainly been a test in “persistance” for you! And I give you top honors on this test.

In all the phone meetings we had I did not know how bad your allergies were.

That says alot about your passion for coaching!

Robin –

I feel part of your pain regarding allergies in the Gainesville, FL area. When I lived there in 2008 it was some of the worst times of my life as far as allergies were concerned. My issues were more associated with grass allergies and breathing or the lack there of and did not cause me to have “Angelina Jolie” lips – that surely would not have been too pretty on my face.

I also hear and feel your pain as well. Being a Chiropractic Physician, you feel you know the answers to most ailments and when you don’t it places you in the “understanding” mode of patients that come through your own door. Having issues that you personally deal with allow you to become more passionate and compassionate to others – and that is what Gainesville and allergies did for me.

I hope and expect your journey through life continues to improve and you get to enjoy those spring/summer/fall days as well as the seafood again some day.

Best to you and yours…

Derek
