Business Building TIP!!!Network More in 2012
Networking is among the best ways for small businesses to pick up new customers. One of your 2012 resolutions should be to join a new community or neighborhood group and/or attend a new networking event. It’s important that you keep talking about your business

It's getting to be that time

Weekly TIP:

ABWA Member

Debbie Holliday  B-CS Tax Group

The Standard Miliage Rate  is where you track the BUSINESS  miliage you accrue and use a standard rate.  For January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011,  the standard rate is 52 cents per mile:  for July 1 through December 31, 2011,  the rate is 55.5 cents per mile.

You need to keep accurate records of the miles incurred for business purposes, dates of business use,  destinations and the business purpose (deliver order, banking, deliver catalogs, home spa show, party, one on one etc).  Also you'll need to note the odometer readings at the beginning and end of the year to determine the total nimes for the year for all uses.   The important aspect is to make sure you maintain accurate records.  The IRS may disallow a deductioni for mileage if you are unable to substantiate your deduction.

Do you mutter because of your clutter?
Guest Speaker:  Susie Murray   
 
 
Our homes and offices, the outward manifestations of our lives, are reflections of our inner states. When we create order in one, we will create order in the other. If we allow chaos to reign in our surroundings, our minds cannot work in an orderly way. When we take time to prioritize, we can live and work in alignment with our goals, and create order both inside and out.

The world may not always seem to work in an orderly fashion, but we know that the Universe has its own order and harmony. So we can choose to work with the universal flow as we go about our tasks, harnessing the energy available to us to flow easily toward our goals. Today we can feel good about all that we accomplish, leaving us the space to assist others who depend on our reliability.
