Speaker: Deanna Trott
Deanna Trott: Hi, my name is Deanna and I'm studying for the Enrolled Agent exam. I was just watching an interesting video by Brian Hock, the President of HOCK International. And he asked why, why do I want to study for this exam? A series of exams? And I had to think about it and I thought this video, oh, this is gonna be so simple because there's so many reasons why I could probably make 300 videos where I wanna have these credentials. So I had to give it some real thought kind of drilled down on it and it came out to the same basic reason each time. And that's because I know what I know. But outside of me espousing all of the credentials on my resume to you, how do you know that? I know what I'm talking about? You can't qualify me. You know, we wouldn't go to a doctor to do our taxes and we wouldn't go to CPA to get surgery. It's literally those letters after your name that tell people that a governing body has tested you and says, you know what this person, Deanna, she has the knowledge and expertise to do exactly what she says she's doing. And I think that's really important because I don't have to show people my resume, my pedigree and convince people to otherwise work with me. They're gonna find me. They're gonna know that I know what I'm talking about because I've been tested on it and I'm an expert in this field.
