Santa, I Want a Home Biz Control Center for Christmas

Thomas Friedman wrote a wonderful book called The World Is Flat. One of what he calls "world flatteners" is the Internet. The Internet allows solopreneurs and home-based business owners to compete with much larger companies as it is very inexpensive (sometimes free) and gives you leverage by putting a lot of things on autopilot.

Even though the tools are inexpensive, when you're using a lot of them the costs can really start to add up. On top of that, you're being billed from different vendors at different times of the month and that is another headache. When you get too spend-happy, you can end up in the red pretty fast.

As an example, here is a list of services that I subscribe to:

• Autoresponder
• Voicemail
• Audio Email
• Video Email
• Teleseminars
• Customer Relationship Manager

This stuff really adds up pretty quickly, and it takes a good amount of time to log into these various programs.

It is even more expensive and tiring when you are managing multiple income streams.

Why can't they all just be in one place at a fair price?

Maybe Santa will hear my request. I've been very well behaved this year.

I'm putting it out there. The law of attraction being what it is, I'm sure that the universe will send me an answer soon enough.

I'll keep you posted.

Who's Watching The Eggs in Your Basket?

Daniel Stoica, Accounting Consultant, helps you explore and discover your passion and turn it into a successful business, as this is his passion. "Minimizing your tax liability and maximizing your net worth at the same time by providing you with professional accounting and tax preparation services" is his profession. He goes beyond his own expertise and uses the resources of his professional network to meet the needs of his clients. He is incredibly passionate about helping others.

I have to tell you, bookkeeping, accounting, and taxes and the like are not the most exciting topics, but when you don't have a seasoned professional like Daniel on your side, you can really lose your shirt - or more!

Sometimes, it is not about how much you earn, but how much you keep that counts.

In the Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 podcast I did with Daniel, here are some of the topics we discussed:

• Where you should be spending your hard-earned dollars
• What you should not be spending money on
• What the best business structure is for your business
• How taxes can really add up depending on the nature of your business
• Some of the the deductions that home-based entrepreneurs qualify for
• And a lot more!

This was a general accounting overview and Daniel has agreed to visit with us again to focus on specific aspects of accounting and taxes to optimize your profits.

A lot of people want to start their own business but don't know where to start. I don't mean how to start making money but how to get started at square one by actually picking a business. Hopefully, an entrepreneur picks the right business. Not the right business according to me or anyone else. But what is the right business according to that entrepreneur. Even if you are the already operating a business, perhaps you can maximize your fun and profits by taking on a different function within the business.
