July is typically a lot like June and August for my CPA business - slow.  I’ve done this for a lot of years now and we always experience the summer doldrums.  As soon as the kids go back to school, though - look out!  It’s flat against the wall until next summer.  I used to get a slow down around the holidays, but don’t anymore.  There is just too much uncertainty in the tax world these days.

So, I have three major goals for July:  (1) Increase traffic (and create clients) for TaxLoopholes and Diane Kennedy’s Tax Services (2) Get my own web page up (DianeKennedyCPA.com).  (3) Start a new B-I cashflow project.  

Actually (1) and (3) are related and I can’t wait to tell you about it.  Well, actually, yes, I do need to wait to tell you about it because I want to finish up my due diligence.  But, if this works like I think it will, it could be very huge.  :-)

Also on (1) I got a challenge on the TaxLoopholes forum that I might just do.  Yes, I have a seminar to do.  Yes, I have a trial to testify at in another state.  Yes, I want to take some time off in San Diego.  But, shh….don’t tell lucky star (from the TaxLoopholes forum) thatt I have an advantage.  The challenge is to write 30 articles for ezines in the month of July.  30 articles - 30 days and 1 extra day off for good behavior.  Here’s the advantage - I’ve been writing monthly articles for about 7 years now and at least weekly content based emails for 4 years.  I have lots and lots of material.  :-)  But like I said, don’t tell her.  I still have to figure out how to convert the ezine reads to sales to my various landing pages and sites.  

On (2) I need to get a rough draft to Jorge and then he’ll get the page done for me in no time.  There, now I’ve created an unrealistic expectation for everyone who works with Jorge!  (Jorge@ LatAmConnect .com)

On (3), I’ll post early this next week on my new project.
