Welcome to this week's edition of the Pass the CPA Playbook!
Every week, we dive deep into the strategies, mindset shifts, and practical tips that can transform your approach to the CPA exam. Whether you're just starting out or are deep into your prep, the goal is to provide you with content that informs and inspires you to push forward with confidence. You got this!
I’m thrilled to announce that I’m launching a brand-new CPA Exam Coaching Group!
This isn’t your typical study group. It's a high-impact, community-driven experience where we’ll review study skills, share actionable tips, and hold each other accountable.
• Four 1-hour online sessions each month
• Several pieces of coaching and guidance throughout the day on various topics
• Daily check-ins via our group message room for motivation and quick feedback
• Topics like goal-setting, study planning, time management, having the right mindset, and beating procrastination
Spots are limited, and I’m opening enrollment now. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks. We are targeting starting the group in May. For more information, pleas email me at blakecarrollcpa@gmail.com.
