Don’t set a precedent for behaviour that you don’t want to maintain. For me - it was being available at all hours.

Just make connections at first. Learn. Don't try to make your mark immediately. You got this!

Take notes. When someone is spending time to train you or help you, thank them sincerely.

You got this :) day one is all about getting situated, meeting the team and surviving onboarding videos.

To go further : There’s a great read about the first 90 days by Michael D. Watkins which I always thought was helpful to get priorities set as you onboard in a new job.

Love to see it! I’m in the same position and plan to focus on forming connections with my team and becoming a sponge/sit back and learn

You got this!!!!

Am I missing something with Quickbooks? I’ve been hearing a lot of firms use it so I signed up to try it but it’s quite confusing with the trust accounting. Looks like I need the advanced version but that’s like $180 a month. We already do billing through Tabs3. Would I be better off investing in an all in one practice management + accounting + billing software? Any recs?
