Start Early for Tax Season


Business owners are you getting ready for tax season? Believe it or not, it's not too early to start getting your financial records in order. In fact, wise business owners understand that waiting until year end to gather receipts for bookkeeping can be very costly in terms of accounting fees, missed tax deducations, and worse, late tax filing fees and penalties.

If you have not been keeping good records throughout the year, now is the time to get your books in order. Set aside some time each weekend over the next month to get caught up. Or, if the idea of recording hundreds of receipts sounds worse than having a tooth pulled send them out to your bookkeeper. This way you still have time before December 31 to ask questions that will help you save money and minimize income taxes.

Remember that building a lasting and profitable business requires you to be a good steward over your time, talent, and resources.

Field Trips To Inspire Your Inner Child

Wow! What a week it's been for me. We have had phenomenal weather here in Michigan over the past week and great indoor and outdoor adventures, too (thanks to my youngest son and his wonderful new school). I am grateful for the chance to break away from the home office and chaperone my children's field trips this week. We had a ball at the Ann Arbor Hands on Museum and Wiard's Apple Orchard. I even managed to get a few snapshots amongst all the fun. Oh, yeah. My son had a ball, too!

Be blessed!

Manzell is in awe of the giant bubble that he makes. He can't believe he's standing inside.





Anyone wanna ride in the ambulence? No worries. Manzell's not really driving. He has a few years left to go :^)







Looks like a great day for rock climbing.





... and a round of Putt-Putt golf,too. This is the life.

Don't you wish you were in kindergarten again?
