Emerging growth and startup enterprises focus their finances and resources towards product development, proving a concept, and growing revenue. Limited startup capital and resource constraints dictate priorities as to where money should be spent, and rightly so. However, financial accounting and tax matters should not be overlooked, even in the earliest stages of a company’s life cycle.<IMG alt="" src="/AA035941.jpg"></P><br /><P>Reznick Group’s Growth Markets Practice in Tyson’s Corner, Va., has built its reputation working with companies through challenging times, helping to analyze business opportunities and maximize tax savings. Over the years, they’ve seen patterns in what makes some businesses thrive while others struggle and fail to take advantage of opportunities that are presented even when the market is down.</P><br /><P>Following are some accounting and finance tips to help ensure business success: </P><br /><P><B>Purchase an off-the-shelf accounting package.</B> Avoid using spreadsheets to track your receipts and expenditures. Create a detailed chart of accounts that includes the types of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses that are relevant for your business.</P><br /><P><B>Conduct solid record keeping and banking.</B></P><br /><P>Keep all business expenses/income separate from personal.</P><br /><P>Open a business bank account with a start up and venture friendly bank.</P><br /><P>Restrict access to checks and bank accounts. Decide who has the authority to sign checks and up to what dollar amount.</P><br /><P>Maintain copies and organize (by vendor and/or account) all invoices and/or receipts for any expenses of the business.</P><br /><P>Document on the invoice when it was received and how it is ultimately settled (credit card, check, etc.).</P><br /><P>If you pay expenses from personal funds, maintain documentation for these and note as to whether it is a capital contribution or whether you expect to get repaid by the Company. If you anticipate repayment, document the terms of the advance or note payable including the interest rate and repayment terms.</P><br /><P>Consider implementing an expense report process to reimburse owners or employees for business related expenses.</P><br /><P>Code each invoice to a general ledger account.</P><B>Reconcile and/or roll forward balance sheet accounts monthly. </B>Bank accounts (cash management)Fixed assetsPrepaid expensesAccounts payable and accrued liabilitiesIntercompany or due from shareholder accountsEquity<br /><P><B>Focus on cash management.</B></P><br /><P>Create cash flow projections for planned business activities (suggest 5 year plan, but focus heavily on next 3 to 12 months).</P><br /><P>Manage cash balances daily or at least weekly and evaluate your monthly burn rate against your cash flow projections.</P><br /><P>Establish payment priorities. Make sure that all necessary bills from critical vendors are paid on time. Taxes, payroll and any withholdings associated with payroll should be remitted timely. Failure to pay these items will cause significant problems for you and other officers personally.</P><br /><P><B>Determine proper operating metrics.</B> Ensure that Operational Revenues and Cost of Sales are clearly segregated from other accounts, so that you can quickly review performance and set meaningful goals.</P><BR><br /><P><B>Create customer and sales metrics.</B></P><br /><P>Sales pipeline (assign probabilities of success and set sales goals)</P><br /><P>Sales per employee (creates visibility into value added hiring)</P><br /><P>Customer acquisition cost and payback period (creates window into growth potential of your business)</P><br /><P><B>Determine the type of entity structure</B> (C corporation, S corporation or limited liability company) and capitalization of the entity at inception of your business (Founders shares/Common shares and associated vesting). Maintain accurately ownership records going forward.</P><br /><P><B>General Business Considerations</B></P><br /><P>Following are some general business considerations to also help growth and start-up companies:</P>Apply for a federal identification number with the IRS on the IRS website (www.irs.gov).Consider if the entity will have calendar versus fiscal year end. This decision needs to be made no later than 2 ½ months after the month selected for yearend by filing a tax return or valid extension.Legally register to do business in the state you are located in any state that you do business in. For most states, you can complete registration forms online. This will register you for payroll taxes, sales taxes and personal property taxes.For federal payroll purposes, you will need to apply with the IRS for electronic payments. They no longer accept vouchers/checks.Depending on the number of employees, it would be advisable to work with a payroll company such as ADP or Paychex for your payroll filings. There are many rules and they are always on top of the necessary filings.Investigate multi-state filing and Nexus issues depending on where and how you do business in various states.Consult with your insurance provider concerning workers compensation insurance and other business liability insurancesTax Reporting may be required for the following: Interns and/or employees where lodging is/was provided.Any persons receiving consideration for their services (Form 1099-MISC or W-2s) due by the end of January.Consider first year tax elections. For example, as a C Corporation, an election would need to be made in year one to capitalize Start-Up Costs and Research & Development Costs. An S Corporation election must also be made within a specified time period in order to be effective for the current tax year.<br /><P>"While these tips may sound simple, many companies are so busy trying to keep their businesses running that they overlook some of the basics," said Mark Hooley of Reznick Group’s Growth Markets Practice.

Rachel Zippwald, Vice President of California Bank & Trust, a major SBA lender, recommends following a few tips to facilitate getting your SBA loan approved.<BR><STRONG>1. Provide details on exactly how much financing you need and how you will use it. </STRONG>Banks like specifics, so be prepared to provide a precise dollar amount and give details of how you will use the funds. Banks are impressed with research, so provide a written quote for the equipment. If you’re planning to consolidate debts and refinance for a longer term, provide copies of your promissory notes and state how much you think you can save with the refinance. Detailed loan amounts with copies of bids, promissory notes or proposals can help strengthen your loan package, because your lender can understand the</P><IMG alt="" src="/101779717.jpg"><STRONG>Take the time to thoroughly explain the nature of your business, your vision, and your background to your lender.</STRONG><br /><P>facts backing up the request.<BR><STRONG>2. Provide information about company management. </STRONG>When banks lend money, they like to understand who runs the company and to be familiar with their backgrounds. This is a key factor in presenting your loan for approval. Help your lender by providing a resume for each owner or key employee, and describe their functions and responsibilities. If certain key positions have not yet been filled, include a thorough job description of the type of person you are seeking. This will confirm for the lender that you have analyzed your needs and have determined the requirements of the position.<BR><STRONG>3. Be prepared to offer collateral. </STRONG>The SBA requires collateral to fully secure your loan, to the extent that it is available. If you own a home, you will likely be asked to pledge it. The SBA may also request a lien on your business assets and may require life insurance on sole owners of a business. Most loans made by banks are secured loans, and therefore approval may be contingent on a guarantor who is willing to offer collateral. <BR><STRONG>4. Detail your credit history and credit score. </STRONG>Your credit score is an integral part of the loan process, because it illustrates the ways in which you handle your other obligations. Your bank will eventually run its own credit report, but if you can provide information prior to them doing so, you can discuss any issues ahead of time. If you don't know your credit score, take the time to research it on the Internet, where low-cost reports are available. If you've had problems such as identity theft, bankruptcy, or divorce, you’ll want to discuss it with your lender up front and provide proof that issues have been resolved or discharged.</P><br /><P><STRONG>5. Provide complete copies of tax returns, financial statements and bank statements.</STRONG> Your bank will want to know everything about you and your business if they are to become, in essence, your financial partner. One way to streamline the process is to scan your financial documents and provide them to your lender in the form of a disk or a flash drive. Your lender may even be willing to accept your documents via email.</P><br /><P><BR><STRONG>6. Explain how you’ll achieve your projections. </STRONG>Sell your lender on your vision and forecasted success. If customers have expressed a desire to do business with you, give your lender a copy of their correspondence. Prove to the lender that a market for your product or service exists and demonstrate the validity of your sales and expense figures. If your Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) has historically been 65% and you can lower them to 55%, provide details of your calculations. If the loan for which you are applying is intended for a new piece of equipment that will allow you to reduce your staff needs, describe how this will occur and show the math.<BR><STRONG>7. Expect questions and be patient.</STRONG> Your lender needs to connect with your story and business and will appreciate your assistance in doing so. Take the time to thoroughly explain the nature of your business, your vision, and your background. Your banker will likely be presenting your loan approval to other parties, so he or she will need your help in making your case. The process may be time consuming, so it helps to be patient. Feel free to request an estimated time frame for approval and respect that the projected date may slip a bit. It’s best not to call or email your lender frequently — remember that in lending, no news is often good news.

Define what success looks like<BR>2. Choose simplicity for organization structure<BR>3. Count the cost by paying vendors and taxes before you take money out of the business</P><IMG alt="" src="/122174650.jpg"><STRONG>The IRS defines tax implications, and “business physics” will define your economic outcome, so choose your course wisely!</STRONG><br /><P>As the owner, you get to make the initial decisions on how things will work. However, you have to understand the IRS defines tax implications and “business physics” will define your economic outcome so choose your course wisely!</P><br /><P><STRONG>Defining Success (3 types of home businesses):</STRONG></P><br /><P>Passion over profit </EM>– This is the entrepreneur that loves the idea of a product or service they have personally experienced and they want to share it with all the people they know. It is great to have passion, but you will need profits to make the business sustainable unless you like working for free and have other sources of funds to keep plowing into the business. The IRS may have something to say about whether losses will be deductible if you fail to meet the general rule of profits 2 out of 5 years. It is expensive to argue your point with the IRS if you do not meet the guidelines so your argument had better be valid and worth it!</P><br /><P><STRONG>Profit to support family </EM></STRONG>– With current unemployment rates, there are record numbers of home businesses being formed. While it does provide a great opportunity to be your own boss, you still need to treat it like any business startup and follow sound business principles. The early stage will be to make a profit to replace your wages. As we will cover later, the profits you hope to live on will sometimes be in conflict with other expenses that the business needs to pay. This will add to the complexity of managing cash flows as you and the business compete for use of the same dollar. As you gain stability and success, you can make your market wage plus make a profit on top of that.</P><br /><P><STRONG>Tax write-off business </EM></STRONG>– This is the business I recommend staying away from. You probably heard someone on the radio telling you how you could deduct these expenses to not pay taxes. Repeat after me, “to spend a dollar to save 15 to 35 cents in tax is dumb!” Deduct the legitimate business expenses you spend to produce your income, but you will never build wealth (without cheating) unless you have taxable income AND spend less than your after tax income to live on. I know this is not what you want to hear, but this is how my wealthy clients did it and they can sleep well at night not fearing an audit.</P><br /><P><STRONG>Choose Simplicity for Organization Structure:</STRONG></P><br /><P>Complex is many times the code word for expensive! Here are the guidelines for home-based businesses to use when you are consulting with your tax advisor:</P><br /><P><STRONG>1. Sole proprietorship </EM></STRONG>– this is by far the simplest form of doing business. The activity is reported on your personal tax return and does not require a separate tax return to be filed. Since “you” are the business, it does not afford you legal liability protection that a corporation or limited liability company (LLC) does, but many of those liability fears can either be insured against or are so remote, it is not worth the additional cost.</P><br /><P><STRONG>2. Limited Liability Company </STRONG>– </EM>Should you need some liability protection or you have more than one owner, this should be your next option to consider. Most home businesses do not have employees or may use contractors for spot help. An LLC taxes you just like a sole proprietorship by having you pay income tax and self-employment tax on your profits from the business (whether you take the money out or not). As long as your profits are less than a market-based wage for you, it helps you not have to deal with the cost of payroll tax returns. The downside is many LLC owners and Sole Proprietors build up taxes due before they realize it. Since nothing is being withheld from draws they take out to live on, they often have a bad surprise come tax day. See the next section for how to avoid this problem. The legal documents for an LLC are simple if you have one owner, but they get much more complex once you add an owner that is not a spouse.</P><br /><P><STRONG>3. S Corporation </STRONG>– </EM>The main complexity with an S corporation is the requirement by the IRS for the owners who work in the business to make a market based wage. The IRS does not make you take a wage if there are no profits, but they do not want you to avoid payroll taxes by taking low to no wages and take your profits out as distributions. The data the IRS needs to find if you are doing this is all in the S Corporation tax return, the only reason they have not found you yet is their resources are limited to how many companies they can track down on this each year. Rest assured, they are adding resources and more will be paying back taxes and penalties for doing this wrong (including the tax preparers who told you to do it!).</P><br /><P>There are many other issues to consider in choosing your entity, but these are usually at the top of our list and you need to be proactive in explaining your goals to your tax advisor.</P><br /><P><STRONG>Count the Cost!</STRONG></P><br /><P>Most home-based business owners hate accounting but this is especially the kind of business you need to keep your hand on the cash. The smaller you are, the less likely you have any room in your costs to pay an outside bookkeeper. QuickBooks has made many entrepreneurs functional (i.e. “good enough”) in accounting. Take a class in QuickBooks and take charge of your numbers to avoid surprises. As you get bigger, then you can transition the role to a part-time outside bookkeeper when it makes financial sense.<BR>You need to know the “Four Forces of Cash Flow” to stay out of trouble managing your cash. If you are not profitable, cash flow is just a calculation of “days until death”. Fix profitability first and now we deal with the “4 Forces”:</P><br /><P><STRONG>1. Taxes</STRONG> –</EM> Set aside your tax liability as you go. If you are taking draws as a sole proprietor or an LLC partner, you are setting aside self-employment taxes each time you take a draw. Once a quarter, you are setting aside income taxes and paying in based on IRS rules.</P><br /><P><STRONG>2. Get Out of Debt </EM></STRONG>– If you borrowed money to start your business, pay it off as soon as you can.</P><br /><P><STRONG>3. Core Capital Target</STRONG> – </EM>You need to have at least 2 months of operating expenses in cash with nothing in debt to be a fully capitalized business.</P><br /><P><STRONG>4. Profit Distribution</STRONG> – Once I have paid my taxes, paid off my debt and built my core capital target, I can now take a profit distribution as the reward of my business success.</P><br /><P>These principles apply to all businesses, big or small and they will help you run a successful business!

Without proper market research, a unique selling proposition, and a solid marketing plan, investors will be wary in investing in your idea.</P><br /><P><B>Focus on creating a first rate management team</B>: If your management team is not educated about the product and its market, it poses a great risk to the investors. A favorite VC saying is, "investors would rather have a second rate product with a first rate management team than a first rate product with a second rate management team."</P><br /><P><B>Have a great pitch:</B> Your pitch should be short, straightforward, and clearly articulate the value proposition of the company. Start with a quick elevator pitch which should include basic information on the product and its market.</P><br /><P><B>Have a great presentation</B>: After your pitch, include a visual presentation to go into further detail. Keep it simple and don’t use too much text. Investors are interested in how they will see a return on their investment. The better they can visualize this, the better your chances are for getting investments.</P><br /><P><B>Stay Focused:</B> Be approachable and on target with your key points. Remember, you’re not just selling your company; you’re also selling yourself.</P><br /><P><B>Get some cash flow before raising capital: </B>Show potential investors that your product or service has already produced a little capital. It will speak volumes of your likelihood for success if you can show that you already have paying customers or a positive cash flow.</P><br /><P><B>Think realistically:</B> Different venture groups will have a different rate of return based on the type of investor. Know your market: how big is it, who are the competitors, how you are differentiated. Find an investor who is familiar with your industry.</P><br /><P><B>Use your resources:</B> The Internet is full of resources. There are business coaches, matching services, university classes, local angel groups, business incubators and entrepreneur forums with strong education programs and workshops that are open to the public. Also, try speaking or networking with other successful entrepreneurs.</P><br /><P><B>Learn from your failures: </B>The biggest mistake you can make is to not learn from your mistakes. Learn from every situation, continue to practice your pitch and strategy, and keep moving forward.

Tracy</P><br /><P>Every small business owner knows the trouble that comes with managing the ins and outs (pun intended!) of cash flow. You can have tons of loyal customers and be an expert at getting new business and still be kept awake at night with cash flow worries. Cash flow is an issue that can send good businesses to their graves.</P><IMG alt="" src="/121198999.jpg"><STRONG>When you have the proper systems in place and know what to look for, you can keep cash flowing, helping you to grow a successful business.</STRONG><br /><P> Cash flow problems have a habit of sneaking up on a business, especially in a rocky economy. If a business is earning a profit, many business managers simply assume that cash flow is satisfactory. But even if profit is good, cash flow can be bad.<BR>Cash flows pose an unending challenge to business owners and managers because they have to be carefully managed. Read on to learn what you can do to make 2012 the year of the cash flow reboot for your business.</P><br /><P>Respect and understand financial statements. According to some surveys, 25 percent of businesses don’t even maintain accounting records (let alone produce financial statements). The bottom line for small business owners is simple. If you don’t make an effort to prepare, review, and completely understand your financial statements, then you need to ask yourself why you’re in business in the first place. And this especially holds true for the statement of cash flows, because an abundance of invaluable information is available from this most commonly overlooked and mismanaged financial statement.<BR>Plan, do projections, and plan some more. Proper planning is essential to the launch, growth, management, and ultimate success of your business as measured by the ability to generate profits and, just as important, to avoid running out of cash. Having access to sound financial plans structured for different operating scenarios is an absolute must. </P><br /><P>Focus on capital and cash—the lifeblood of your business. One of the most common reasons small businesses fail is that they lack adequate cash or capital, not only to survive difficult times, but also to prosper during growth opportunities.<BR>Remember, one of the greatest losses a small business can realize is that of lost opportunity, which has its roots in not being prepared to properly capitalize on market opportunities. The harsh reality is that this great loss is never accounted for or presented in any way, shape, or form on the business’s financial statements. Rather, missed market and business opportunities lurk in the torturous thought, “Imagine what I could have achieved! “</P><br /><P>Understand your selling cycle. The length of the complete selling cycle is often much longer than the aspiring entrepreneur projects and/or wants to believe.<BR>The selling cycle in its entirety spans the time from the very start of the process when a product or service is first visualized and developed to supporting customers after the sale and developing additional products or services that may be in demand. And if not properly managed, the selling cycle generally becomes one of the largest consumers of cash in a business. Without fail, almost every aspiring business owner, at one point or another, will experience delays in the selling cycle. </P><br /><P>Manage your disbursements cycle. To counteract the selling cycle cash consumption machine, businesses need to understand that the disbursement cycle (managing expenditures and cash payments to vendors, employees, and other creditors) can be leveraged and managed to be a primary source of cash for your business. Invoke what’s called the matching principle. That is, similar to properly matching revenue and expenses to ensure that an accurate measurement of a business’s profit or loss is obtained, you should be able to match cash inflows and outflows.<BR>Be creative to generate cash. The following three areas offer significant opportunities for creativity when looking to improve cash flows:<BR>1. Turn your assets over more quickly. The more quickly you can turn over assets, the more quickly they turn into cash. It’s as simple as that.<BR>2. Leverage your vendors, suppliers, and financing sources. They don’t want to lose your business, so placing just the right amount of leverage on these groups can result in enhanced cash flows because liabilities offer a source of cash.<BR>3. Manage external sources of cash proactively. Proactively manage your relationships with banks, leasing companies, and even the federal government to ensure that cash is made available when needed.</P><br /><P>Balance the balance sheet. Many businesses overlook the concept of properly managing the financial structure of their balance sheet, which has gotten more than a few businesses in trouble. Your business needs to strike a proper balance between making sure that current assets are financed or supported with current liabilities, and making sure that long-term assets are financed or supported with long-term sources of capital such as a five-year note payable or equity. Every business should strive to achieve a financial condition that ensures constant maintenance of adequate levels of both solvency — the ability to pay all just debts — and liquidity — the ability to quickly access cash to support business operations. </P><br /><P>Understand external capital markets. When it comes to external capital markets, think well ahead. In today’s economic climate, it takes a long time to identify external sources of capital and to secure them. So plan well ahead to make sure that you’ll have cash available when needed, because it’s not a process you can rush.</P><br /><P>Protect cash at all times. Cash has a unique characteristic unlike other assets that makes it highly susceptible to additional risk of loss: Cash is an extremely liquid and marketable asset.</P><br /><P>Always think of CART. CART equals complete, accurate, reliable, and timely. Your company’s financial and accounting information system needs to produce complete, accurate, reliable, and timely financial information, reports, data, and so on, which management can use to make informed business decisions. </P><br /><P>When you have the proper systems in place and know what to look for, you can keep cash flowing, helping you to grow a successful business. Let 2012 be the year you place a renewed focus on properly managing your cash flows. HBM</P><br /><P>Tage C.

<strong>Entrepreneur Helps Companies Increase Their Visibility</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Doreen Clark has always been an entrepreneur; however, the understanding did not become a reality until November, 2011. This is when she took her well-structured ideas from paper to practice; forming her home-based business, Doreen Clark Public Relations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="" src="/Doreen6.jpg" /><strong>Doreen Clark took her well-structured ideas from paper to practice and founded Doreen Clark Public Relations.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Previously, Doreen worked behind the scenes and in the front line of her field for over 10 years when she was laid off in early 2009 following the merger between Northwest and Delta Air Lines. This is a time she calls “no mercy” because much of America was also in her shoes — leaving two choices: stand out or blend in. The latter of the two was not an option.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In late 2010 Doreen was hired, but the relief was short-lived. She found out that life “on the inside” was different. Many companies had wage freezes and hiring freezes, and more was expected (for less). She believed that many employees were overworked, overqualified, underpaid, and greatly lacking in most companies’ favorite buzz phrase — “work-life-balance.” This inspired her to work on her own.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Doreen’s, company is still a work-in-progress but she believes her home-based business can compete effectively within her industry while rising above in cost-effectiveness because as she stated, “Clients come to me for results, not to pay for my office space. The times have changed, and businesses have to change their strategies with it and that is what I have done. I believe that the independent worker will become as necessary and as common-place as the little black dress.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Doreen Clark Public Relations promotion is basic — people. “Sometimes you have to unplug and just remember that face-to-face can’t be deleted in some inbox. Talking to someone is a real ‘connection,’ and shaking someone’s hand is the first step in authentic ‘liking.’ This is your real network, and I think it has been forgotten in business.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Doreen’s primary clients are companies looking to increase their visibility. If you ask her about what she likes best, she says, “Watching something grow that was only a shadow of itself. I never felt this sense of pride until I worked for myself and this is evident, through results and attitude, for my clients. They are well taken care of, and now there is real balance.” She believes that three years from now she will still be small, just how she likes it. Visit http://www.doreenclarkpr.com.

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Once you have those initial sales, you’re not home free. It takes a long time until you can slow down and not panic as much."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tory Johnson landed her dream job: a publicity agent for ABC News. She thrived on the challenge and ever-changing workplace. Johnson thought she could stay in that position forever. Her firing in 1999 not only ended that position, but it also gave her what she calls the "permanent scar from the pink slip." Vowing to never work for someone else again, Johnson founded Women for Hire, a company that hosts career fairs for women in 20 countries nationwide.<img alt="" src="/ToryNavySuitWhitebackground.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Author of "Spark & Hustle: Launch and Grow your Small Business Now" and "Will Work from Home," Johnson also appears in weekly segments on Good Morning America. As she puts it, "I help people develop the clarity and confidence to pursue their own career success."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Home Business Magazine recently spoke with her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Home Business Magazin (HBM):</b> What is the greatest roadblock for people considering launching a home-based business?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Tory Johnson:</b> Knowing what they want to do is a big barrier. They often come to me asking what kind of business they should start.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>HBM:</b> How does an entrepreneur figure out what to do?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>TJ:</b> By tapping into what you love to do. What makes you tick? What makes you so wildly passionate and crazy that you wouldn’t give up when the going gets tough? Maybe it’s tied to a cause you care about or a product you know will change so many people. Dig deep and figure it out through clues in your past or something that people have always been complimenting you on and has been a hobby. Now you have to figure out a way to be paid for doing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>HBM:</b> When start-up money is an obstacle, what can entrepreneurs do?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>TJ:</b> First reduce expenses, and then worry about getting capital. Maybe you want a brand-new computer, but use one already in your house or buy a refurbished one. Use furniture you have already; don’t go out and buy new office furniture. Barter to have a website set up instead of paying someone. Figure out how you can get things for nothing or less. Challenge every penny before it’s spent. There are a lot of different ways to get capital. Concentrate on securing initial sales, and use those to fuel future growth. Put initial revenue back into the business. I don’t recommend mortgaging in this economy, but it can be smart. Indiegogo.com is something I recommend. Instead of an investment or loan, people who like what you’re doing can support it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>HBM:</b> You say that describing one’s business in a single sentence is important. Why?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>TJ:</b> A lot of people say, "I need 10 minutes to describe it." You need a minute or 20 seconds. If people can’t get it in that time, it will be very hard for people to ever get it. If it takes 20 minutes, people won’t appreciate it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>HBM:</b> How can a home-based entrepreneur develop his or her sentence?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>TJ:</b> Keep refining it. There’s no magic formula. Focus on the benefit and value to a target market. "We do blank for blank." Or, "We deliver blank for blank." It can be that simple. Describe the benefit and value and who it’s for.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>HBM:</b> What are the top mistakes when launching a home business?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>TJ:</b> Overspending or assuming they can’t get going unless they have boatloads of cash. Lack of focus on sales and making sure every "t" is crossed and every "i" is dotted before you sell anything. Magic happens when you’re doing something, and sales is doing something. It is especially hard for women to do sales. We want to work on our businesses instead of selling.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>HBM:</b> Why is that?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>TJ:</b> It’s why you started the business and why you love it. It’s more fun and easier than hustling to ask people for money. More businesses fail because of lack of sales than anything else. There are tons of businesses that are selling bad ideas but are successful. It’s more a lack of sales than anything else.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>HBM:</b> What should home business entrepreneurs do after the business launch and initial sales?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>TJ:</b> Sales are continuous. Sales are a daily challenge. Once you have those initial sales, you’re not home free. It takes a long time until you can slow down and not panic as much. The best organizations of all sizes don’t say, "We’re done with working on sales." If you own a small business, it’s all you think about 24-7. HBM</div>

<b>Small Businesses Trying To "Go Greener"</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the Office Depot Small Business Index, 61 percent of small businesses are actively trying to go greener and 70 percent of small businesses anticipate becoming more environmentally conscious over the next two years. <img alt="" src="/140306843.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The index revealed that the most popular way small businesses are becoming more eco-friendly is by recycling more (cited by 82 percent of respondents).<b> </b>Other ways that small businesses are reducing their ecological footprint include: reducing waste (72 percent); buying energy-efficient products (61 percent); buying recycled products (60 percent); seeking non-toxic products (43 percent); and reducing water use (39 percent).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cost was mentioned most often when small businesses discussed the challenges of trying to go green; with 39 percent worried about the money it will cost to be more environmentally friendly. Small businesses are also concerned with: lack of options (21 percent); quality (13 percent); lack of clarity (13 percent), and lack of time (11 percent).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As small businesses look at their offices, the products they most want to "green" are ink and toner cartridges (60 percent); paper products (55 percent); cleaning chemicals (53 percent); lighting (41 percent), and electronics (35 percent). HBM</div>

The following are five reasons why small businesses should self-publish (open publish) a book:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>1. Marketing. </strong>Being able to hand someone a book is more powerful and memorable than giving them a brochure or business card.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="" src="/119833008.jpg" /><strong>Self-Publishing gets easier and easier each year for home-based entrepreneurs.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>2. Expertise. </strong>Having a book on a topic or niche is an effective way to establish a company or person as an expert in their field.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>3. Sales. </strong>Offering a book for sale adds another revenue stream for small businesses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>4. Taxes. </strong>Small businesses have the advantage of being able to claim a tax deduction for any expenses related to preparing the book for publication.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>5. Extension.</strong> A book offers an extension of a person's business. It will give customers the opportunity to learn more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lulu.com, founded in 2002, is a company that specializes in open publishing, giving small business authors the ability to publish everything from print and eBooks, to calendars and cookbooks, to photo books and mini books.</div>

<strong>A Business Secret Seldom Discussed</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By Brad Beiermann Ph.D., Hienote Inc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The concept of drop shipping is not new, but has found itself in the midst of a growth curve fueled by Internet commerce.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="" src="/rbmb39.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>As a retailer, you will put the product pictures on your site at retail pricing and wait for an order.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Drop shipping is a process used by a manufacturer, or authorized wholesale distributor to ship your single item orders directly to your customers. As a retailer, you will put the product pictures on your site at retail pricing and wait for an order. Once you receive an order, you will email or call the drop ship supplier with the customer's order information and they will in turn ship the product directly to your customer. Consider two things: Tracking and Returns.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Tracking</strong></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most customers want to get parcel tracking information about the products they order. If you are a new retailer, eBayer, or you are thinking about doing online retailing, you will have a customer who will ask for tracking information. If you give the tracking information, it will have your supplier's address information on it. What will you do if you are using a blind drop shipper for the order? The first option would be to give the tracking information, thus letting the customer know the identity of the supplier. If it is a no-repeat customer, this might work in your favor. The second option is to implement a policy of not giving out tracking information. It simplifies things and sets boundaries with your customers. A third option is offering the tracking information and describing the shipping origin differently when asked. You might describe the shipping origin as your "remote warehouse" or "distribution center" reserved for returns.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Returns</strong></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What happens when you get a customer who wants to return something for an exchange? If your policy is to not give out tracking information, then as far as they know, the package came from your location. Unlike a return address, the main label address will need a valid recipient name when they send the package back for exchange. In short, if you want to keep your supplier concealed, then you will need to have the packaged returned back to your location. Later on, you can return this back to your supplier. In this scenario, you will have paid twice for shipping, but it keeps your wholesale source concealed. HBM</div>

<strong><br /></strong>
By Priscilla Y. Huff<br />
<br />
In 1999, based on the recommendations of a respected business friend and the positive results of his own research, Mike Schaack invested in Murphy Business & Financial, a premier franchise of business brokers located throughout the United States, Canada and parts of Europe. Presently, Schaack is Regional Director for the state of Colorado.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="/MikeSchaack.jpg" /><strong>When considering a franchise opportunity, Schaack says ask about the company’s success and failure rate; and then ask their franchisees if the company provides them with value-added services that justify the initial franchise fees.</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
He says a typical Murphy client is the original founder of a small or mid-sized business who wants to sell his business for retirement money, or expansion or for other reasons. The franchise’s brokers also guide and assist buyers in purchasing their ideal businesses.<br />
<br />While maintaining confidentiality, Schaack says his firm looks at the financial history of a client’s business and works with that owner to package it for sale. The firm markets its services through company web sites; mailings with telemarketing backup; and continual communications with potential customers.<br />He says the upside of having a home-based business is having the flexibility to meet clients when and where he wants; but the downside is that it is not a 9-to-5 job. “When working from home, you cannot ‘clock’ out and forget about it…because your business resides with you.”<br />
<br />When considering a franchise opportunity, Schaack says ask about the company’s success and failure rate; and then ask their franchisees if the company provides them with value-added services that justify the initial franchise fees. “To succeed as a franchisee, realize you are buying into the company’s ‘formula for success’ and be sure to follow it.”<br />
<br />
In addition to being potentially lucrative, Schaack says a Murphy franchise offers an exciting challenge to any entrepreneur’s business, financial, and people skills. “I also derive a great deal of personal satisfaction knowing I helped my clients go forward with their life’s goals.” For more information, visit www.murphybusiness.com.

<strong>A Fun, Profitable, and Low-Risk Home Business</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By Steve Johnson</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Running your own home book store is fun and profitable, and it is an ideal choice for many people who want to start a low-risk home business. You can start part-time, avoiding the high cost of storefront rent, yet at the same time you can sell used books, music CDs, and educational videos to anyone, anywhere across the country or around the world if you choose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="" src="/200467153-001.jpg" /><strong>You can sell used books, music CDs, and educational videos to anyone, anywhere across the country or around the world if you choose.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The actual number of books you need to get started with your own home-based book store varies by how fast you want to get going. You could start with 100 books — you'll probably sell 10%–15% of the books you list within the first month — so if you want to sell more and grow your business quicker, then it will be better to have 1,000 or more used books on hand before you start. Don't be afraid to start with the books you already own, but stay on the lookout for more quick sellers to expand your business.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Funding A Home-Based Used Bookstore</strong></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Start-up funding will likely be a bootstrap venture in most cases. Two-thirds of all business start-ups like a home book store get funded by credit card cash advances, tapping into savings accounts, or borrowing from a rich uncle in the family.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tip: Sell things you don't need any longer — furniture that's in the way, clothes you don't wear any longer, or maybe hold a garage sale one weekend and clear the clutter around your house — and reinvest the proceeds into building your home book store. You don't need much money to get started.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you're starting out on a shoestring, start with whatever you have. List your books, CDs, or DVDs on the Amazon Marketplace, and begin learning what sells and what doesn't. You'll learn valuable experience in how this business works. You can then parlay that experience and profit into a larger business as you add more used book stock to your inventory.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Getting started selling is easy. Just log onto the Amazon website and get your seller account up and running in a matter of minutes.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Stock Up On Merchandise That Sells</strong></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next: Give yourself a goal. For instance, plan on spending two hours every weekend for the next three months, scouring yard sales and thrift stores to locate at least 25 books, while paying no more than 50 cents each. By month four, you will then have found 300 or more good books, and you'll only have invested about $150, some gas for driving around, and $50 for a couple sturdy bookshelves to hold your new inventory.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tip: Use your cell phone with Internet access to pull up Amazon used book pricing when you are scouting out books for resale. If the pricing for like books is good — $7 or more — buy the book. You'll very often be able to list it and sell it for more than $10–$15.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you do come home with books that you want to get rid of that you can't use in your home bookstore, take them to a local used bookstore and ask the owner if they'll trade for books you can add to your inventory. Sometimes if you're lucky, the owner will buy your unwanted books by offering store credit for books he or she doesn't want to carry any longer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another goal: Show up for work! Get out your calendar. Write in daily goals. Set aside time early each morning or late at night when you get home from your job, log into your account to check orders and e-mail messages, and go to work listing or revising your listings.</div>
<strong><div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Where to Start?</strong></div>
</strong><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Right now, start with the books you already own, and add to them by attending library book sales and fund-raisers, estate sales, and thrift stores, and even search for them online or through newspaper classified ads. You'll be surprised to find good used books are all around you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Post your own free classified ad stating that you buy used books, and list the subjects you are most interested in, but don't be surprised if the people who contact you have an inflated value of their books' worth. Be in control. State that you can pay a flat fee for their entire lot of books — example, $25 for a lot of 50 books. Make sure those 50 books contain at least $500 in retail value.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Concentrate on buying trade paperbacks in the non-fiction arena. These sell well in almost all condition. If you specialize in certain fields like architecture, history, how-to, UFO's or the like, keep adding new titles to your stock at all times. Write newspaper and magazine articles related to your expertise. Publish press releases for local media about your new venture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Post your finds to your Facebook friends or your Twitter followers. One cool feature of posting books in the Amazon Marketplace is that with one simple click of a button, it allows you to automatically post your new listing to Facebook or Twitter, saving you lots of time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you do wind up concentrating on buying and selling First Editions, do your homework first. Become an expert in the field. There's a lot to know and you should know that on Amazon, the typical used book seller is not even permitted to list collectible books, so that avenue is closed to you until you prove some authority or certification.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Learn These Basics of Bookselling</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To get started in your new venture, here are six simple tips to keep in mind:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Learn the book trade and terminology. Study everything you can and add to your knowledge each day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Do make sure you have a sufficient number of titles. The more books you have to sell, the better. People want to buy now. They won't wait around until you find the title. They'll just move on to the next Internet seller.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Be thorough and accurate in your descriptions, revealing any and all flaws in the condition of the book. Don't be afraid to list your book one step down in condition to stay on the safe side (example: if you have a book in "Very Good" condition, consider listing it in "Good" condition so as to delight the average book buyer, and not disappoint the discriminating book buyer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Do your homework. If you describe a book as a First Edition, be sure that it is one. If you don't know how to tell for certain, then don't add this detail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Learn the basics of how publishers insert the bibliographical descriptions in the front section of books. These identify to collectors the year of copyright, the print edition, the publisher, the ISBN (10-digit ID number for books that you will use often to search up values and availability of books), and more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. Determine where to purchase used books. Negotiate for the best pricing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These are your keys to making maximum profits in your own home book store. With time and effort, you can learn how to make money in this simple home business. HBM</div>

The answer is "no."<img alt="" src="/19.jpg" /><br />
Here's the difference:<br />
<strong>Pyramid Scheme:</strong><br />
- The company does not have a legitimate product or service that people would buy if they weren't in the business.<br />
- The company will pay people to recruit others into the deal.<br />
<strong>True Network Marketing Company:</strong><br />
- People are paid strictly based on the sale of products/services.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best thing about this course is alongside earning a nice income each month from this system on autopilot with no traffic generation, it’s also an extensive guide into niche research, finding products to promote and how to set up your own website. Yes, it may need to be read through a few times, but believe me... It’s worth it.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amazing New Online Money Making System Generates $1,547 A DAY...New system rakes in $1,500-$4,000 a month...It’s finally here... A system that rakes in monthly pay cheques on autopilot.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://seoadsense.gsniper.hop.clickbank.net/"><b>Google Sniper 2.0</b></a> is an amazing new system that anyone can make money from. It’s simple, it doesn’t involve a heavy investment and proof shows it works! That’s a type of strategy we all want right?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’ve always been left disappointed with various “make money online” schemes, after I’ve invested so much time, hard earned money and effort into them. You’ve probably been in a similar situation, and may even still be struggling to make a cent online, but we’ve all been there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what’s different about Google Sniper? Well...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
●<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>This system is EASY to implement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
●<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>There’s NO traffic generation required.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
●<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>There’s no need to dedicate hundreds of hours each month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
●<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>And it’s generated more online success stories than any other course...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do a simple search for “make money online” and you’ll discover that there’s a lot of “push button software’s” that promise to generate you an income online, and there’s a lot of strategies that simply don’t work. Google Sniper 2.0 has taken the online community by storm and is quickly generating a huge amount of online success stories, and allowing a great number of people to quit full time employment...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Re-read them bullet points again, because this new, unique strategy allows you to make money online easily. It involves no traffic generation, is simple to learn and most importantly... you don’t need to commit a lot of time to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now not only is this unique strategy a proven success, but the training guide is second to none also. It’s hands down the best training guide I’ve come across to start making money online in the quickest time possible, with a simple approach. Yes, the training is extensive, but it’s a step-by-step process that includes videos that walk you through the whole strategy also. There’s nothing better than a proven strategy that works, is taught well and can be picked up by anyone.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all know that there are various “make money loopholes” or “push button software’s” available to buy that have the ability to generate you money online, but there’s nothing better than a proven strategy that works. A detailed step by step guide which takes you from struggling to make a cent, to earning commission on autopilot for months on end.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Google Sniper </b>by George Brown is exactly that, and it’s a system that will take you through finding a niche, discovering high volume targeted keywords, picking a product to promote to setting up your wordpress site and getting in indexed by Google. It really is the most foolproof system available.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not only is it a well taught course anyone can learn, the strategy actually kicks ass! It takes you on average about 2-4 hours to create a Sniper site, and this includes everything from researching a niche to finding a product to promote (if you follow the steps correctly). After this, it really is all systems go...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As people we all value time over money right? Well a strategy that generates you a good deal of money but takes you 16 hours a day to operate isn’t a good one. Yes you’ll make money, but you won’t have any time to enjoy that money. But Google Sniper really makes you commission on autopilot. It takes on average 2-4 hours to set up, and then you simply can just relax. Why?</div>
