EP449: Kimme Lafayette - Overcoming Barriers In Bookkeeping Business

“I think being ready to change your processes or adapt to
processes, finding new efficiencies—that is a constant growth.
Even if you're happy with the level that you're at, the revenue
level that you're at, and you're not looking to grow or expand,
things will still change and evolve with your processes and with
technology. So I think it's really important to be open and
accepting of that.”
