About this ebook
This little book sets forth a few of my thoughts (meditations and cogitations) from which I hope the reader will both enjoy and perhaps benefit from. This is not a book on taxation or accounting. It can be viewed as a book about life and its many lessons and components.
As I view the world, we are all students of life....and my hope is that you are having a great one.
Enjoy my little slice of the world.....
25 of my top short writings on life and business.
John Iacopi
I am a practicing CPA and enjoy a multitude of outdoor activities and hobbies which I use as a diversion from everyday business dealings. My “ranch” is my treehouse....from which many creative and new ideas sprout....including this E-Book.From My writings you will likely correctly surmise I find great comfort in writing and solitude....to be able to get off to the side in quietness and think things through....with the results rewarding.The package I offer to my clients goes like this: I am driven, focused and dedicated. I stay current in the profession. I am creative and committed... goal oriented and optimistic. I work hard with smart people to accomplish your goals on any detail-oriented project assigned to me. I am committed to client service. I am a compulsive, detail-oriented project manager/editor on business projects such as valuation, estate planning and business sale projects. I perform competently and with a personality... not with an attitude. I make each day count. I have fun. I will go the extra mile for you... no 8-5 hours for me.At Iacopi and Lenz, we do more. We bring capacity, speed, decisiveness and, most importantly, brains in a manner that is unique to the accounting business. We bring "fresh eyes" and "new ideas" into your business. Have sold 34 businesses in my career and know what buyers and sellers want, how they approach the value of the business and bring real-time experience to the equation. Textbooks are good reads, but experience matters. Qualified to value minority interest ownership positions - work with purchase/sale of such interests - offering consultations and valuations. We offer reliability and have solid references.Specialties:Business consulting, marital dissolution accounting services and settlements, appraisals, buy-sell agreements, business sales, succession planning, jury trials, expert testimony, discovery depositions, settlement agreements, compensation evaluation, marital dissolution mediation, professional writing and goal planning, budgets and cash flow analysis, business management coaching, structured settlements, strategic planning, assistance with complex business decisions, tax strategies and more.

This past year I celebrated my 35th year in business. Our firm, Iacopi and Lenz Accountancy Corporation, was founded by me on May 12, 1978. We are now approaching 36 years in business and have many blessings for which we are grateful.
The idea of this booklet came to me one day while out jogging. I thought I should record a few writings that may better define me and contribute towards any legacy I may one day leave.
This little book sets forth a few of my thoughts (meditations and cogitations) from which I hope the reader will both enjoy and perhaps benefit from. This is not a book on taxation or accounting. It can be viewed as a book about life and its many lessons and components.
As I view the world, we are all students of life….and my hope is that you are having a great one.
Enjoy my little slice of the world…..

Congratulations to YOU….from YOU!
Ever write yourself a note? A letter? A poem? An e-mail?
Ever tell yourself that you are the best? That you can overcome your issues
. Ever give YOURSELF reassuring words? Ever practice the Golden Rule on YOURSELF?
If not….why not? Perhaps you don’t believe in yourself? Perhaps your self-esteem needs a lift?
You’ve heard the song by Michael Jackson, Man in the Mirror
? A good place to start in the self-confidence department, I would say. Look in the mirror and start at that point. Who do you see? What do you see?
When I look in the mirror I see a person in need of self-reinvention for sure. I need to drop a
