My story

Hi

This is Poornima a newbie in caclubindia and a CA-Finalist (Group I cleared). My next attempt is due in November 2016 for which i haven't start studying.

This is my story i took up CA course at the age of 20 after graduation. Cleared CPT in very first attempt and then came CA-IPCC 1st group for which i took 5 attempts to clear. and then joined articleship in a mid-sized firm where i got good exposure. cleared my IPCC-2nd group in first attempt with only 2 months leaves (nothing to brag about). Then i realised i am good in working under pressure.

So in November 2014 i was done with my articleship and something worst has happened in my life (family stuff) for which i could not foucus in my studies and i was  busy in taking care of my family. Though i was sitting for exams in every attempt starting from May 2014-Nov2015 but because of family issues i couldn't study at all. Meanwhile i realised i have forget everything what i have learned during my articleship

Then one fine day i said to myself enough is enough i'm gonna join a CA-Firm and learn everything from zero. So, in November 2015 i joined a CA-Firm and in May 2016 i cleared my first group of Finals with one month leave (like i said before i'm good at working under pressure). 

I have realised in all these years that i want to start a business and i know i'll be starting everything from Zero and i'm  from a middle class family. so i have to do everything on my own and i'll do it.

I want to learn web designing, do CISA, CFA and IFRS. travel around the world, start blogging and get married at 30

But now again i have lost all my interest in studies, all i can think is of Business to start my coaching institute and Tax Consultancy business and then when i'll be a CA i'll start my practice.my mind brainstorms new ideas every single day.

See, i know the answer that i want to start my practice and make it as good as i can to the best of my ability.

My question is:-

How would i get that passion back of studying again

Is it too late for me to even think of start doing practice?

I'm 28 and standing nowhere in my life and thinking to start everything from ZERO

I want to make my own Identity before i get married.

I'll be so grateful to all of you if you could help me.

Thanks & Regards

Please sit calmly and firmly decide about any one option at present, either clear final group or business. Business you can do anytime in life, but for studies, as age progresses it becomes tougher. Convince yourself and your family about the importance of the studies and the future prospectus of the professional course, so that they help you mentally and monetarily as well.

As you said you are good performer under pressure, but presently just disturbed in direction/goal, once you make up your mind, I am sure you will easily clear the finals.

Good luck & God bless.

Thank You Sir. I want to study and i'm forcing myself to study which i know is not a good thing to do.

I don't know how to get that passion back of studying

Let me tell you:: you have ambitions in life, like "I want to make my own Identity before i get married."; but its not just weighted. Just give importance to the course, think how easily you will be able to fulfill your desire, your ambition, your identity, your stand in family, society, with life partner etc.

These thoughts will give you concentration from diverted mind.

Think other way::: Its not easy to do business, as there are so many others (even un-qualified) they can also do business, they even  try all other means (sometimes unethical) to succeed, which all are not accustomed to do. Same business or say tax practice etc. when done with qualification, how easy it would be to compete and flourish.

Practically, at this age such divesification is but natural, but just crossing the stigma is only best answer. Those who have overwhelmed this stage in life, have really succeeded in most of other aspects of it with ever increasing confidence, but those who have gave in, their life is called, boat without navigator.

Once again, let me tell you, none other but you yourself will have to; and you will be able to cross this dilemma.

Good luck for preparation.

Yeah, Thanks a lot Sir for the inspiration.

Just determine:: I am CA Poornima, ........ not any ......(none)

Good luck

Hello purnima, your so close to make your own identity, a step away to be know and recognised in society as this professional courses are not easy it takes lots n lots of eefforts to come that far. As u said u lost ur interest in studies which I can totally understand , little motivation , support from ur near around people can help u over come that, just be focused , coz u can do ur business planning properly along with preparations;  it will help to enhance ur knowledge for business and u will have both side win win situation ..if u give urself a little more push! 

My suggession is you target only 2 letters "C" "A", these should be injected in every cell of your blood, then your desire will become Burning desire which will take you in the direction of your target. Achieve the goals one by one...
hi poornima.i m also in similar state n married..cleared grp 2...but if u need to fulfill ur passion ur dreams u need CA degree in ur hand asap ....also think why u hv started CA.n i personally believe if i have started sumthng i need to complete it at any cost

As u have already cleared 1 group, its better to finish ur CA. If u haven't started preparations, then u should target MAY 2017 attempt.

Please consider this schedule.

Take complete break from studies for 1 week. Just enjoy and do things which u like.

Week 2 - Study 2 hours per day.

Week 3 - Study 4 hours per day.

Week 4 - Study 6-8 hours per day.

In this way u can slowly reach to an optimum level in a few weeks.

And for Group-2 some very good online caoching is also available which will help in saving time.

Hi.

I just want to suggest that at the moment just focus on Nov'2016 Attempt.You are just one group away to become a CA.once you complete it doors will be open for you. then you can do any business , practice etc whatever you want to do.and yout motivation should be  "I want my own IDENTITY before marriage".

Good Luck and All the best.

Respected madam,
Please try for an exemption you gain full confidence next attempt you will complete the group with much ease.Prefer ISCA it's only 300 icai module around 15 pages per day cram it you will land at 80+ marks.
I can totally relate with you, its not u don't want to study, its like whenever you're trying to study you get ahead & start thinking about where i want to be rather than how i would get there?, so whenever i get these thoughts
