Back in the days when I just started working newly as an accountant, it was so tough as hell then to cope and survive in this my new role as an accountant after being a student all my life. Before then, that is, while still being a student, it never did occur to me then that there is a huge difference between being an accounting student and being a working accountant.

As an accounting student schooling under the Nigeria educational system, you know that our goal as student then was mostly just to read and pass to please the lecturers and our parents so as to justify the money they spent on our schooling.
That is why after schooling, and I began working as an accountant, I faced certain issues and certain challenges.

The one major challenge that I encounter then as a newly working accountant was the problem of departmentalization which in other words is called division of labour. Though I never realized it then that it was a problem in anyway, in fact then, I thought it was a very cool thing. Why I thought then that it was a very cool and a very good thing, which actually it is in some aspect, I will explain in a moment but let me first explain what departmentalization/division of labour is.

Departmentalization/Division of labour in simplest explanation, is the act of dividing the work that a single person can do from start to finish into several parts or several pieces and then give each one of these several parts to two or more people i.e. to several people to do or carry out.

The reason why I think that it is a good thing, which I still think it is a good thing, is because one, it makes it possible for the said work to be carried out and finished quicker and faster within a very shorter amount of time compare to when only one person is to do it. Secondly, it makes the work less burdensome for each of the several people involved in the work compare to when it is just one person that is to do the work alone.

Now, on how I came to realized that as good as departmentalization/division of labour is, that it is also a kind of a big problem to me as a working accountant.

This is how, it so happened that as I continue to work as an accountant in this company, after some years working there, one of my neighbours who had always known me for long that I am an accountant decided to ask me for a favour concerning his business. He is a business owner, an entrepreneur, he run his own personal business. He wanted to switch the style of recording his business transactions from the layman style to that of double entry record keeping method of the accounting profession. He asked me to explain the whole process to him in a practical way and also help him with the practical setup of the whole process. He wants a simple manual setup that he can carry out in a book; he is not a computer person so he is not interested in all the accounting softwares and all that for now at that time.

It was at the point of trying to help him with this favour that I realized that I myself don’t even yet know this start to finish process of accounting in a practical and applicable way even though I have been working for several years as an accountant. I know the theory, though not as deep as one should since that is all we were taught in school. In that moment, I realized once more that there is huge difference between theory leant in schools and the practical in the real-life situations.

The other place where I could have learnt this start to finish process of accounting the practical way is in the company where I work but I could not learn it there because of departmentalization. In that company, the start to finish process of accounting are departmentalized. For the several years that I had been working there, upto the time that this my neighbour asked for this favour, I had only been working there as what we called, "transaction voucher officer", where all I do is to deal with transactions vouchers all day each day. We have a different department that deals with receivables, we have another one that deals with payables, we have another different one that deals with inventories, we have another one that deals with posting into the general ledger and so, so on like that.

To cut a very long story short, this realization made me realized that departmentalization as cool, sweet and fantastic as it is, it was also a big problem to me because it was placing a very huge limitation upon my life and my growth, it was confining me to a very small circle without me knowing it.

As God would have it, I was eventually able to do something about it and get myself back on track, the result which led me to receiving better job offers elsewhere.

Also, I was able to later help this my neighbour with the favour he asked me for, of which the details of that will be a story for another time.

But in the meantime if you are like as I was then and you will like to do something about it now by knowing the start to finish process of accounting the practical way, starting from the recording of business transactions to the finishing end of producing income statement, balance sheet and cashflow statement. Then check out my documentation, I documented in a plain simple english, the step by step procedures to help you achieve these in a book and am teaching the introductory part of this book documentation for free in my telegram group. Joining this telegram group will help you overcome whatever fear you might initially have regarding financial statements and accounting or finance as a whole. Zero, eight, one, three, one, one, three, six, zero, seven, six, is the number with which you are going to message me to add you to the telegram group if interested.

You are right to want a mentor for him but also know that you are also part of his problem for always trying to compare him to others. Camparison of him and the pushing of him to level up with others at all time is highly dangerous, I repeat it is highly dangerous, I speak from my personal experience as a child and as a teacher.

When I was still actively teaching what I usually do with such children is to join them in their playful imaginary world through things like story telling that requires their playful response too. The words that they usually use in their response is what I then always use in explaining serious stuff like mathematics and other subjects that they hate or find difficult.

Believe me this works greatly, with this I was able to always get through to them and help them overcome their changes. But I always add a little bit of prayers unto God for them too in my secret because if knowledge and wisdom can only be gotten solely by man effort then Solomon won't have prayed unto God for it in the first place. 08131136076 is my contact in case you may need further tips.

If you would listen to me, believe me you don't just need just pharmacy and nurses alone. Most importantly you also need a record keeping expert to help you set up double entry record keeping system for you to be able to supervise the business into success.

If you think that the that you are there yourself to supervise yourself physically is a guarantee that they won't steal or that things won't still go missing right under your nose without you detecting then believe me you know nothing about business and its surprises.

Double entry record keeping system set up for the pharmacy is like your recommended eye glasses without it you cannot see what you should see when you should see it no matter how hard you look.

Have you ever gone from grace to grass then back to grace again?

Please come in and share your story for some of us to learn because it seems I am finding it hard to get back to my glory days.

Yes I have big time and more than once self, mine was first from grass to grace then back to grass and then from that grass back to grace again and coming back to grass again but now I give thanks to God.

Instead of me focusing on the details of how they happen let me go straight and tell the lessons I tearfully learnt. That you can learn from and maybe apply too if you have open mind so as to get out from this.

First:- Success is more spiritual than physical. Believe whatever you want but this is the ultimate truth. The success you don't first of all achieved first in the spirit realm you can never achieve in the physical. Go and check it, all rich men are very spiritual or had previously been very spiritual before being rich. Or they have very spiritual people that they are very close to that they inherit their legacy or benefit from their legacy. They could be satanist, Buddhist, Traditionalist, Muslims or Christians. It is no accident that most if not all of the richest people on earth are either Jews, Arabs, Christians or follower of their spiritual routines either secretly or openly. And those who claim to be atheist or scientist they already inherit this their blood through their common father Abraham.

Second:- Every Family has a hidden spiritual debt that destroys success continuously until it is paid. And this can only be paid through rendering certain spiritual service or through living certain spiritual lifestyle continuously together with hustling. Have you discover yours and paid it and/or paying it?

Third:- The best way to pay the above family spiritual debt is through spiritual righteous lifestyle and not ritual killings be it human or animal. Ritual killing only delays the inevitable in a worst form. The key word is, "righteous lifestyle" that is based on your conscious findings about your family and your own situation together with rules for living of tested and trusted religion of your choice and not mare copy and paste of other peoples' lifestyles.

Fourth:- All the findings from the above should always be foremost in the thoughts, words and actions in combination with physical hustles. They should be like guiding compass to guide you in your ways and manner to go about the physical hustle. And watch as you will gradually start to make way back to grace.

It is impossible to be righteous in the heart and it will not reflect outward. Anyone who claim to be righteous in the heart but it is not showing in his outward is only lying and self-deceiving. The heart is the control base of our life, it is the control centre of all our other body parts. The heart controls the outward and not the other way round. So it is impossible to be righteous in the heart and it will not be the same on the outside.

Having a clean inside is equivalent to having a clean outside. Likewise a clean home also reflects on you people do see it as you step out each time.

fpeter: LADIES DON'T BE MISLEAD.......THESE SAME MEN VALUE GIRLS WITH HIGH MORALS
I STILL MAINTAIN THE STATUS-QUO.......NO PREMARITAL SEX!!!!!!!!!!!

U are going off track girl...the urge for sex has no respect for morals. When it comes to the urge for sex, morals often get bent,modified or even suspended till after the deed is done. And most of the time the deed always repeat itself!

it is really a lie/rule told to the gullible to keep them caged and controlled but not to the smart ones!
