Accounting does not raise a great burst of enthusiasm in my heart. I have to confess that although I need to do my online course in accounting for non-accounting managers, there are days when I simply cannot make myself start the module I am studying. However, I have noticed, particularly recently when I am coming to the end of the online course, that once I have steeled myself to start, I become engrossed in the work, and don't want to finish until I have worked through the topic I am studying.
For me, the great thing is that I have really started to benefit from the course. I find that I am much more prepared to tackle work that has a financial thread to it, and I understand the finances of a client company much more thoroughly. This is invaluable, allowing me to give much better advice to my clients, and it is changing the way that I view my own company as well.
Studying online can be a nuisance when I have already worked a full day, but I find that if I have scheduled my day I just go and do the study automatically. I have even started to get up earlier, and study for around 1.5 hours before I go to work. This gives me the illusion that I haven't used my own time for study, and the benefit is that if I am studying a topic that I can use with a client, I have the subject fresh in my mind.
