242 | More than Counting Beans

Bad accounting is worthless.

Great accounting is priceless.

But how do you know what you have?

If it takes a long time, it’s bad.

If it feels like a burden, it’s bad.

If it is confusing, it’s bad.

If you still don’t know where you stand, it’s bad.

Bad accounting adds stress.

But if it’s quick.

If it’s easy.

If it affirms and clarifies.

If it builds trust.

Then you have great accounting.

Great accounting removes stress.

Bad accounting contradicts the story, great accounting brings it to life.

And if you only know accounting as bean-counting, I’ll let you guess which you’ve seen.
