This top accountant doesn’t eat in airport lounges, with one exception
Tony Schiffmann, chief executive partner at accounting firm BDO, reveals why he schedules all his meetings in the morning, why he doesn’t lunch, and the airport lounge he likes to eat in.
Tony Schiffmann says he is no coffee snob. “Whatever’s available, I’m good with.” Joe Ruckli
What time do you get up in the morning? What time do you have your first cup of coffee?
My routine is to wake up at 6.15am. First thing, I like to read the Australian newspapers, but also I have a global role, so I tap into a few global papers to see what’s happening. I try to avoid emails, because once I start reading emails, the workday has started, and I get distracted. So I avoid emails until I get to work, if I can. I spend about half an hour reading the papers.
