• It may seem like a lot of busy work, but accounting
requires lots of practice to really understand what is
happening and why
• You should take 15 seconds and reflect after each exercise
is performed successfully
• Why is it important and how does it fit into the accounting
cycle?
• Once you get it, you have it for life and you can apply
accounting to any of your pursuits and passions
• The first four chapters are the most important
• The math for the most part is not that tough
• Everyone can succeed as long as you put in the time and
effort
• So let’s get it done, this semester!
