Mike's advice to aspiring accountants:.
Don’t take work too seriously and to remember there is life outside of your job.
Always keep your family a priority!
Keep your perspective and get out in the community; join clubs and socialize with business people in your community—you’ll be a better adviser to your clients because of it.
Keep your ear to the ground, know what's going on, learn to be a good listener, and you will become well rounded from associating and learning from others.
