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 [...]

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

5 Comments

Part of having a successful business means being able to always have a Plan B ready to go.  I think we may be on to Plan D already after last week. A big part of the BusinessToInvestment challenge is the websites.  And that means I rely heavily on Jorge’s crew at LatAmConnect.  Last week, Jorge was [...]

There are a couple of us through Business to Investment that have signed up at SendOutCards.   I’m using it as a very effective way to encourage referrals through my business.  Plus, it’s a way to make money when you sign others up.

In 1989, the Information Age began.  My son is only two years younger than the dawn of this revolutionary new time.  I spent the last few days researching the social and economic changes that came about as a result of the Industrial Age and finally, this morning, I had the ah-ha I was looking for. I [...]

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 [...]

I didn’t post yesterday not because I didn’t have anything to say, but because I had TOO MUCH to say and couldn’t focus.  That’s a common issue for me, though.  I think it has something to do with being a big QuickStart.  **If you haven’t taken your Kolbe test yet, I really recommend it.  Everyone [...]

MLMs - Vent With Me Please

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

I’ve been a CPA now for about 25 years.  In that time, I’ve seen a lot of different biz opps, investment strategies and out and out scams. One of the things people love or hate is MLMs or IBOs or Direct Selling or whatever it’s called.  There is almost a kneejerk reaction to them.  But, break [...]

My post about content has started a lively discussion in the virtual backroom at TaxLoopholes.  Bill is searching out states and various specific income tax issues for the state.  Megan is keeping up to date on sales tax and nexus issues.  I’m watching regular income tax, estate tax and asset protection strategies.   I’m now a [...]
