BSP 136: iCompete by John Hewitt

John Hewitt, author of iCompete: How My Extraordinary Strategy for
Winning Can Be Yours, wrote the book to highlight his five-decade
journey in the tax industry and underline the mistakes he made so
they can serve as inspiration for others to avoid those same
pitfalls. Hewitt says what he loves about taxes is “helping people
save money and give them peace of mind,” as there are multiple gray
areas of the law and numerous loopholes to help people keep some of
their hard-earned money. Throughout his lengthy career, Hewitt has
been driven by two main things: 1) people that believe and support
him, and 2) the naysayers that say he can’t do something. His drive
to win has been a constant for fifty years and he says the
difference between himself and his competitors is that he
proactively asks his franchisees how to continue to improve the
company and the brand. His competitors preach to franchisees
instead of listening to them. He adds, “To be the best at your
business, you have to have the best system. To have the best
system, you have to be improving.” Learn more about your ad
