A year ago, Jacob W and I set out to bring together 500 accountants, bookkeepers, and CPAs for Accelerate. I wasn't sure we'd get there. We ended up with nearly 600 attendees, incredible speakers, overwhelming feedback, and a day that exceeded expectations. The video says it all!

If you understand Yiddish, make sure to watch this. We discussed accounting, bookkeeping, and the Accelerate Conference. Listen and enjoy.

Horrible news out of Australia this Hanukkah. Darkness trying to steal a moment meant for light. As Jews, we do what we’ve always done. We light the candles anyway. Hanukkah isn’t about ignoring the dark. It’s about defying it. One flame. Then another. More light than hate. More joy than fear. Heartbroken. Unbowed. Still lighting. 💙

This!

I think I’ve cracked the code. I finally figured out how to increase revenue by 300%—just by doing a simple rebrand.

12 Years of Oberlander & Co Don't ask me why, but I just checked my own profile on LinkedIn, and I've noticed something remarkable. We’ve recently crossed the 12-year mark at Oberlander & Co! This is a huge milestone. 👇

A few weeks ago, someone mentioned in a newsletter about a new app called @WisprFlow that records your voice and turns it into writing. Tweets, blog posts, Slack messages, emails... whatever. At first, I thought, “Why would I need this?” Now? Total game-changer. I just speak, and it types—clean, fast, effortless. I blame you, @tryjasononline, for ruining my typing skills. I’m never going back to the keyboard. P.S. Now that I have it, expect longer tweets. Sorry, not sorry.

The Secret to Success: Execution! Today, let's talk about getting things done. We all know successful people, but what's their secret? How can you reach success? Execution is everything! Ideas are easy. But without execution, they’re worthless. How to Be Productive 🚀 Here’s a simple but powerful method: ✅ Write down 3 must-do tasks every day. These are non-negotiable—you don’t end your day until they’re done! ➡️ Bonus points if you finish them before lunch! (But let’s be realistic,it’s not always possible.) Why This Works; Your days are busy. If you don’t commit to specific progress, your time will be swallowed by distractions and urgent but unimportant tasks. Being "busy" feels productive, but without focus, you’re not actually moving forward. Plan Ahead; 🕰 Set your 3 tasks in advance, either the night before or first thing in the morning. 📲 Use an app, a notebook, or even an index card, whatever works for you. Stick to 3. No more. It may not sound like much, but 3 per day adds up to15 wins a week! That’s major progress! Commit to this for just one week, and you’ll be amazed at the results. תפסת מרובה לא תפסת – If you try to grab too much, you’ll end up with nothing. וְאִם שְׁלֹשׁ אֵלֶּה לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה לָּהּ, וְיָצְאָה חִנָּם אֵין כָּסֶף. – If you don’t get your key tasks done, you’re left with nothing valuable to show for your effort. Start today, and watch how much you can accomplish! 💪
