Home business tax deductions are one of the greatest benefits of having your own home based business. Many home business entrepreneurs never really take full advantage of all the deductions available for them. Mostly this is because they may not understand or know about all the home business tax deductions available for them.
Being self employed and your own boss also give you the freedom of not bound to a withholding money for tax by a company employer, like you would if you worked for ...Read the rest of this entry »

When I travel, I've got standards set for such things as hotels
where I get booked. They must be in a safe area, clean and
reasonably close to the client site. My flights must be
prebooked -- never standby -- on a major carrier and,
unfortunately, coach class. My rental car must be from a major
provider, not be a subcompact and have power seats - so I can
see over the steering wheel and reach the pedals.
These are my basic required standards for business travel,

Have you ever reflected back over your life and the people who
have made significant contributions to where you are today? When
I do, one person who comes immediately to mind is Judy Billman,
my first coach. I hired Judy back in the mid 80's when no one
knew what a 'business coach' was, so Judy called herself a
business consultant. Lucky for me, she was really a coach. Most

The basic premises of designing an effective vision are as
follows. You must believe there is always a better way. If you
don't think there is a better way to run the business, then you
don't need to create visions or strategies. If you do adopt this
belief, it will keep you (and your client) aware that you need
to monitor, review, and assess what you are doing, looking for
what you could do better. The owner often feels that what they
are achieving is good enough for now.
Otherwise they would ...Read the rest of this entry »
