Have you ever been told to “just keep your head down and do good work”—and everything will work out?

Did you follow that advice… only to find yourself stuck, overlooked, or wondering why no one seems to notice how hard you’re working?

If so, you’re definitely not alone.

This week on The Smarter Accountant Podcast, I’m sharing the worst career advice I ever got—and what it wound up costing me.

It’s the kind of advice that sounds smart on the surface, especially for accountants. But when you dig a little deeper, you realize how it could be quietly holding you back.

Here’s the truth: Being the hardest worker in the room doesn’t always get you ahead. Sometimes, it just makes you the most exhausted.

This episode is especially for you if:

You’ve ever wondered why others get ahead while you’re still waiting to be noticed
You feel like your work speaks for itself, but no one seems to hear it
You want more opportunities but feel uncomfortable putting yourself out there
You’ve ever thought, “Why doesn’t anyone see how hard I’m working?”

If any of that hits home, you’re going to want to hear this one.
