Reinvest 10% in Yourself: The Antidote to Business Fear


Most CPA firms are terrified of AI. We used it to go from 2 employees to 10 in one year.

In this episode of the Measure Success Podcast, I sit down with Tommy Breedlove, CPA-turned-executive-coach and bestselling author of Legendary, to talk about the fear driving business owners right now, why AI still gets the basics wrong, and why reinvesting in yourself might be the only real hedge against an uncertain economy.

Episode highlights:

• Why fear — not the economy — is the real threat to business owners right now

• How AI gets basic accounting wrong, and why human judgment still wins

• Reinvesting 10% of revenue into yourself and your business every year

• Why private equity is loading CPA firms with debt, and what that means for the industry

• Building an ESOP instead of selling: creating a legacy that outlasts you

Watch the full episode and ask yourself: What are you doing today that you'll wish you'd done sooner?
