Don't be bitter, be better! Words inspired by the fantastic James Ashford and a post inspired following our Digital Accountancy Show webinar with Dan Cockerton last week where we were chatting about our Xero 2023 Small Firm of the Year Award win. As we approach award and accountancy event season, there is so much to celebrate 🥳 However, there is too often a feeling of disappointment of not being shortlisted or not winning award.

Every time we didn't win (not reference to "lost") was because another firm had excelled and thoroughly deserved their success and we celebrated with them and it drove us to be better. "We did WIN as we learnt" and we never lost as it helped build us into better versions of ourselves. In the inspiring words shared with us by the amazing Paul Miller BSc FCA and Gareth - always measure backwards (AMB). Recognise how far you've come and celebrate this rather than only looking at how far you have left to go. Now for the next steps
