A short monologue advising entrepreneurs that hiring the "right accountant" doesn't make you rich—doing the work and having focus does. The speaker links "shiny object syndrome" to an identity crisis and stresses choosing aligned priorities and pulling the plug on misaligned projects.
How important is to find the right accountant to make the big money? The right accountant? Donovan's asking. Dude, first of all, you don't make big money by having an accountant. You make big money by doing the work. The accountant's supposed to sort it out for you. That's the wrong question, my man. We have to get focused. We have to know what we're going after. What do I want? See, the problem is the reason you get shiny object syndrome is because you have an identity crisis. The truth is you have no effing clue what you want. The truth. I've been there. Sometimes I'm still there. I'm pursuing big things and I'm like, it's not aligned with where I'm going. I had to pull the plug. I pull the plug on stuff all the time. I'm going balls deep on other stuff that I'm working on that's working.
