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.

Pick the Right Biz for YOU



Wow...

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.

Ain't No Party Like a Webcam Pitch Party


TokBox - Free Video Chat and Video Messaging


We're bringing solopreneurs from all over the country together for organized, video/webcam networking events using a "pitch party" format. A pitch party is when everyone takes a turn giving their one-minute "elevator pitch" so that others can better understand what they are selling, to whom they are selling, and the benefits of their product or service. Prominent off-line, face-to-face networking groups like BNI, Le Tip, and Leads Club use a pitch party format.

The way we're able to bring business people from around the country together for virtual face-to-face networking is by using the free platform provided by TokBox.

Ideally, this will be used for entrepreneurs who are local to each other. This is a cool way to network, but it DOES NOT replace speed networking over the phone events or face-to-face networking events.

To learn more about what we're proposing with web cam pitch party, go to www.WebcamPitchParty.com.

Let me know what you think.

Is Social Media a Fad?

All I got to say, social media ain't my grandfather's radio.

YOU are still here!

Sometimes, we feel overwhelmed and that we don't have a snowball's chance in Hell to have success or some other desirable outcome. But the fact of the matter is, you are still here so as long as you can look up, you can get up.

Lean on your faith - believe in yourself, believe in the righteousness of your goal; believe in your allies; and have faith in a higher power.

Be inspired by these words from Laurence Fishburne in his portrayal of Morpheus in the movie The Matrix Reloaded.



Just follow these six steps, and what you desire will be your's in uncommon hours:
  1. THINK about what you want
  2. SPEAK about what you want
  3. Take ACTIONS toward getting it
  4. Make your pursuit a HABIT - do something every day to put yourself closer
  5. NEVER QUIT no matter what happens
  6. Enjoy the RESULTS of your labor
Be advised, that these six steps always yield results, but make sure that you start with positive, desirable thoughts, or you may be quite displeased with the results.

Remember the old-school computer jargon - 'GIGO' - garbage in, garbage out.

Become a Web Marketing Whiz Kid



Kyle Nichols is the owner of a wonderful Internet marketing and coaching company, and what they have done is combine high-quality training and coaching from some of the best online marketers along with a very lucrative money-making referral program.

A member can truly earn while she learns. What is so pleasantly surprising is how affordable the program is, yet powerful enough for members to build an immediate and substantial long-term recurring income stream.

Kyle shared some tips on how we can become web marketing whiz kids by leveraging his latest product/program, You Can't Say No.

What is really appealing (to me, anyway) about this program is that it compliments whatever you're already working on by giving you more 'How To' online marketing knowledge. The catalog of training audios, videos, and the community of other online marketers that share best practices is extremely impressive. I can't believe that a person can have access to this program for less than $1.75 per day - unbelievable. Hey, You Can't Say No to that (pun intended).

To learn more about this product/program, visit www.WebMarketingWhizKids.com.

As Internet Marketing heavy-hitter, Perry Belcher, would say, "Hey man, the poops is out and you can't shove it back into the horse, so get with it because Internet marketing is not going anywhere and is only going to get bigger."

Hmmm...spoken like a true Texan.

With appreciation,
