Multiple Streams of Marketing
In other posts, I’ve laid out my plan for 2009 and beyond. When I started this Business to Investment project, I had the naive idea that I could do a bunch of websites and somehow magically become rich. I’ve discovered that there is some work to it, at least in the initial set up and [...]

You know it’s going to be an interesting post when I start off recounting a gambling story. But, there you go. That’s what this one will be. Years and years ago my parents visited me in Reno, NV. I took them out to a casino because, well, face it, that’s what you do in Reno. [...]

A friend of mine asked me a question a few days that keeps rattling around in my brain. I’ve talked on this blog and at the First Class Lounge Forum at TaxLoopholes about my million dollar mistake. Basically, I got caught up in the glamour of writing a book and doing interviews, that I let [...]

One of my strategies has always been to build a database. For every business activity - is this making money? and if not, is this building my database? And to be honest, there is something rather nice to sit around with the “big boys” and talk about the size of my database. So, there’s some ego [...]

I’ve been speaking at seminars now for over 10 years. I started doing my own about 8 years ago. They are a great way to meet, network and reconnect with your clients and prospective clients. But, wow, do they take a lot of energy! Generally, I don’t get much else done the week before an [...]

Friday, July 18, 2008
I’ve spent the last few days getting ready for the seminar this weekend (Loopholes of the Rich Charity Weekend) and in meetings, meetings, meetings. We’re refining and expanding our TaxLoopholes brand. That will probably be a 3 month project that I’ll keep you posted on. For BusinessToInvestment (B-I), the Million Dollar Journey, I’ve gotten side-tracked with all [...]

Early on in this challenge, Jorge posted an article on 29 ways to make money on the Internet. At the time, I remember thinking that it was so easy to just make money out of “nothing” (or rather just the flow of electrons). Now, 3 months into this project, I find that I’m again reassessing [...]

The second book that impacted me these past few weeks is “High Tech, High Touch”. I’ll sum it up with this statement: The more High Tech we become, the more High Touch we crave. I’ve been really pondering what that means for my new tax firm, Diane Kennedy’s Tax Services. Part of the reason that the model [...]

Want to have more wins? Then celebrate the little ones that you get! You might have read a few blogs ago about my struggle with finding a home for an ongoing article (then blog) about tax strategy and asset protection for Docs. The blog then points to www.lesstaxfordocs.com. The first two magazines that I had [...]

Sunday, June 29, 2008
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 [...]
