No one can ever know everything they need to know about any topic. I find that most business people do not take advantage of the experiences of others to better themselves and their businesses.
Management of an accounting practice (MAP) articles and books offer a wealth of information, shared experiences, best practices and hard-learned secret sauces yet they are not taken advantage of by a large majority of accountants.
