January 12, 2007Accounting starts with an A
January 5, 2007Donny Deutsch had Bob Parsons on the Big Idea this evening. He recounts how he joined the military and then went to work at a steel mill and then went to school. So he decides to enroll in some college and is told he needs to pick a major, well how do I do that he asks and is told he must speak to a counselor. He looks at the long line and picks up a course book and sees that accounting is the first thing listed and decides to take it. There he goes on to become a CPA and start a software company which he sold for millions. Who said you have to think through all the choices in life, just pick the first item on the menu, the first woman you meet, the first of anything. Just pick something and GO!
