I'm BAAACK... (eyes wide open)

So today ends the last day of my AUD testing preparation. I haven't been on for a long while. Something about those 4:30am wake ups and late night sleeps, and still continuing ones day to day living. I have make and tomorrow I walk in to pro metrics confident in God, and leave victoriously on my way to face test two.

I'm ready and Success is My ONLY Option.

After AUD comes REG, but before then S.L.E.E.P... LOL

I am Talisha B, MBA - and the CPA is creeping its way to attach.  (Who'da Thunk it)

BTW: My son has been over my shoulder the whole time. He never knew mom not only had a blog, but I can actually spell... I'm his role model.

Let the Studying Begin...

Let the Studying begin... And it has.

I just wanted to send out a special blog and send a shout out to my crew. I knew I had it in me. Though it took a lot of talking and internal coaching, I finally listened and started. For some they can just dive right in - for me self motivation is a joint effort.

Thank you ME for submitting to the plan for my life. Thank you MYSELF for encouraging ME in the way you only know how. Thank you I for knowing that it always takes on decision to get things going and WE finally did!!!! I knew that just hearing the teachings on AUD would spark the fire to continue. All it takes is a decision and everything follows.

***This is the life of a CPA bound individual who has a specific plan for her life and knows that any other plan would be a detriment to her, her family, and her future.***

Some people think that destiny is already charted out for you and that it just happens. The truth is, your destiny is shaped by every choice you make and choose not to make.

Where are your choices leading you? - When you get to that destination tell yourself, WELCOME TO DESTINY. If you don't like where its taking you now is the time to change it.

I NEED HELP......(How do you study?)

Simple Question while on my CPA quest.

How do you study?

No, for real!

It is one thing this study for a class that you attend daily with other people who feel the same way about the course that you do, while being presented with a syllabus of a schedule the course, requirements, etc.

But how do you really study when there is no concrete accountability and though you are in persute of something that costs you financially and can increase you financially?

I really really really need answers.

Where can I find a Studying101 or Study for your CPA successfully so you can be a success and pass the first time - without going nuts?

HELP!!!!!

From an MBA to a PhD?

 The question arises often, "You have your Masters Degree, so are you going for your PhD?" LOL

The answer always astounds people.  NO INDEED!

I know that my limit is CPA. Let me get that please. Not that my getting my CPA is a small thing or that getting a PhD isn't attainable nor a great achievement. I just know where my life is supposed to go. If I go for me PhD, I will add more pressure to my (this is me and me alone, MY) life than I am supposed to have. Studying for my CPA is enough. Having gone through online courses was enough. Let me say this, having an opportunity to see the graduation ceremony of individuals who received their Doctorate was awesome. I could not place myself in their shoes but I am glad to have had the opportunity to celebrate with them.

Now let me add this minor disclaimer: I will not go to school to get my PhD, however, if for any reason an accredited institution wanted to award me an honorary Doctorate I will gladly receive it. (I'm just sayin'.)

I am CPA-Bound (as part of the definition of bound mentions: limit)

Success (as a CPA) is my only option. All honorary Doctorate Degrees are welcome!

Definitly NOT a Coincidence....

So I built a blog... YEAHHHH!!!!!!!!! I actually post to it... YEAAAAA!!!!!
But I never really looked at the title until today; CPA-Bound.  No, not CPA (Certified Public Accountant). BOUND...

I know the generic, because I grew up with this word, definition of Bound: but I never really knew what it meant. (How many words do we use that we just know - but we never really look into the definition of the word?)

Here is what I found:
1. intending to go
2. limit or boundary
3. obliged: having a binding: determined: incapable of failing
4. leap
(Merriam Webster. (2000) The Popular Group: Websters New Dictionary of the English Language)

That's me: Incapable of Failing - If, I am truly bound to what I am confessing.

CPA-Bound?!?!?!?!?!
#ThatsAll

Such a Proud Day in CPAville....

What's all the excitement you ask? Well, I have dusted off and cracked open the Spicy Blue Wiley CPA Exam Review (Auditing and Attestation)...

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!

Does it matter that this one says 2011?

Anywho, its open and I am starting from the top. Success is my Only Option...

Staying motivated and encouraged!

Not Focused (Confession of a CPA studier)

(Is studier even a word?)

So my plan was to start my studying but rather I find myself installing my Rosetta Stone software. Hey, I live in Texas, this will give me a greater edge. But other than feelng like a total slacker,  I did leave my back pack and books at my work.

So, it will be me a Rosetta. I'll let you know how this will work out, along with my studies. Oh and of course tonight the Boston Celtics would be playing to Bulls. DISTRACTIONS... :)
