Happy Birthday, A71
Another71.com turned two on Sunday.
Two years ago, I was a frustrated CPA Exam candidate who was looking for light at the end of the tunnel (that wasn’t an oncoming freight train) and I can say without a doubt that the sacrifice was absolutely worth it.
I want to commend those families who are sacrificing by allowing a loved one to study for the CPA Exam all weekend for the hope of a better future. I have been there.
I commend the candidates who get up early to study when they would rather sleep an extra 2 hours. I have been there.
I commend the people who skip lunch with their co-workers so they can do 30 multiple choice questions instead because they are scared to death of their upcoming exam. I have been there.
I commend those lonely spouses who sit and watch tv while the other one studies at the kitchen table – my wife has been there.
Especially in this economy – it takes going above and beyond to succeed - to sacrifice in a way that your co-worker in the cubicle next to you is not willing.
It will pay off in the end.
You’ll be a CPA and they’ll be…well…

Happy Blog B-day!
Congrats Jeff, I have been following another71 since its blog form.
It has helped me a lot and also encouraged me during my failures.
Hi Jeff,
Thank you all the support that you give to thousands of candidates through your website. I commend you … on this achievement, for the great social service that you do just by giving free advice and responding to students when you would rather spend time playing golf or with your son, and most importantly the endless energy, passion, dedication and time that you have put into this website!
A year ago today I found out I passed my first ever exam (BEC) after 3-4 rounds of each part of the exam. Today I await my final score (REG) with the expectation that I have already passed the CPA exam. And it all turned around starting with me discovering this blog back in November 2008 and seeking your advice, Jeff, on how to conquer the beast.
Congrats to your continued success with this blog and thanks for all you’ve done to help me and others who are taking this exam!
Thanks everyone
I was here at the beginning–back when you were on Blogger! I finished testing at the end of 2008, but I still see people in my office checking your blog–it’s the best source of info out there!
adri – blogger…good stuff…those were the days
I appreciate the kind words and you checking back in and saying hi.
