Self-promotion is an essential life skill for entrepreneurs, small business owners and for just about anybody who wants to grow professionally.
Being humble shows good character, but keeping successes a secret, is a mistake. A couple of weeks ago, a colleague was telling me about some of her big business wins over the last year. There were no announcements in her newsletters or social media posts and no press releases. Here achievements were all hidden secrets. Why wasn’t she celebrating her wins? These were huge directional changes that were up-leveling her business. It turns out, she was worried what others would think or say if she “put it out there.” Not wanting to be thought of as boastful or obnoxious, she thought her success would draw negative attention. The interesting thing is many people feel the same way. How do you successfully share your story and leverage your wins without being annoying? Don't sweat the small stuff! Click below for our new FREE downloadable guide. It is chock full of suggestions on how to share your wins in a manner that will not only interest others and serve you well, but will also help others celebrate their wins too!

I'm sharing this in case you are still struggling with tax preparation and want to be better organized in 2017. A couple months back, I stumbled upon a promotion and thought it was worth a try. I only recommend what I like and find useful and that's why I am passing it on.
My new favorite app is one that saves me time, money and the hassle of collecting and organizing paper receipts. The app for Quick Books Employed is super easy to use; you can organize your expenses literally within 3 seconds. Yup! The app will automatically track your mileage without having to use the old paper method. The trip was not a business expense? Tag it as personal and the expense gets whisked away so there's no co-mingling. Want to see your income and expense summary at a glance? Check! Tired of collecting all your paper receipts and organizing them for tax purposes? There is a camera feature on this app so you can say bye-bye to all those little pieces of paper. It even auto-populates your expenses through credit card charges and suggests a category which you can confirm or change. Here's a link that saves 50% for 6 months which is only $5 per month or only $12 a month if you buy the bundle with Turbo Tax. If you subscribe to the bundle, you are able to pay your estimate quarterly taxes online as well as (1) state and (1) federal file online. Honored with a SASI-One Award for |
