#118 - Bouncing Back From A Mistake

At some point in everyone's life and career, you're going to make a mistake. Whether it's choosing the wrong size when buying pants for your son, entering the wrong date on a check in Quickbooks which completely throws off the opening Trial Balance, or putting cinnamon instead of cumin into that taco dish (been there, done that), as accountants and moms we are no stranger to making mistakes. It happens to everyone, even the most conscientious and organized working moms. Just by virtue of the fact that you have a very busy life, balancing an accounting career with a family, all while trying to do your best in all areas of your life, can often lead to mistakes as you try to keep all the balls you're juggling up in the air. In order to be both the accountant and mother you want to be, you need to get out from under the weight of a mistake so you can bounce back and keep doing what you are here to do. The world doesn't need you to be perfect, it needs you to know how to handle mistakes when they happen and not let them derail your progress forward. This week on The CPA MOMS Podcast I discuss why we make mistakes and how to bounce back after making one.
