5 important lessons i learned from 25 years in business

Podcast Interview with Jabez Roberts

Here are 5 important lessons learned by this Accountant from his 25 years in entrepreneurship.

1. Be Intentional Don’t let life and business just “happen” to you. Instead, clearly define what winning looks like for your family, clients, business, and values. You’re in the driver’s seat, so drive.

2. Be Patient Don’t compare yourself with others' successes and the desire to “want it now.” Everyone grows at their own pace, and it’s consistency over time that brings momentum.

3. Be a Difference Maker Don’t underestimate your gifts! Serve others with your knowledge, skills, and time. This can look like guiding a client towards clarity in their business or serving a meal at the local homeless shelter.

4. Be a Lifelong Learner The best leaders I know are non-stop learners. Whether it’s podcasts, reading, or taking a class, keeping your mind active and growing is the best way to level up your leadership skills.

5. Be Still Take time to DREAM. This means intentionally adding margin into your calendar for reflection and developing a vision for the future.
