A Look at Workman’s Compensation
Copyright © Jose Love
http://www.yourescape.2freedom.com
When starting a new business, one of the things to
be aware of in the United States is Worker’s
Compensation. This program provides insurance to a
company in the even that one of their employees is
injured or otherwise hurt on the job. This
compensation covers medical expenses, including
hospital stays, doctor visits, surgeries, and
prescription drugs for the injured employee. The
compensation is in place to prevent the employee
from suing the company for the refurbishment of
these funds down the road. In fact, employees using
the worker’s comp program give up their rights to
sue in exchange for the guaranteed payment.
The Worker’s Compensation program began in the
early 1900's, and was put in place to protect
companies and provide workers with an automatic
recourse when injured or hurt on the job. Prior to
the advancement of such programs, injured workers
had no choice but to sue their employers for lost
wages and hospital fees, often resulting in the
loss of jobs and extensive settlements that far
exceeded what was necessary on a case by case
basis.
There are significant arguments against the current
form of Worker’s Compensation in the United States.
Those arguments include that it provides a certain
amount of incentive to larger corporations to
simply move most of their production to those areas
where these Compensation laws are not in effect
(i.e., offshore). Small business owners, likewise,
also complain that the system is in need of reform
and argue that the insurance premiums are much too
high and place too much of a burden on the
fledgling businessman.
Worker’s Compensation has also been in the news
lately, with the new laws that provide for first
responders such as policemen and firemen to have
medical issues such as heart failure and cancer
paid for by the Worker’s Compensation package,
rather than through medical insurance. This has
been done under controversial circumstances, with
the reasoning behind it coming from statistics that
show these diseases to be more prevalent in people
with these types of jobs. Opponents, however, argue
that an anecdotal relationship is not enough, and
there has been no causal link established.
Privatization has been a big issue in the world of
worker’s compensation as well, with West Virginia
the latest state to move from a state funded
program to a privately funded host of competitive
companies. This type of privatization never comes
without risks and controversy, though studies show
that rates for the insurance have dropped
dramatically since the switch took place last year.
Whether public or private, for small businesses or
large, worker’s compensation remains a tightly
woven thread in the American workforce, and it will
surely remain there, in some form, for many years
to come.

A Look at Health Insurance
A Look at Health Insurance
Copyright © Jose Love
http://www.yourescape.2freedom.com
Starting out in the world of business takes a few
things. One, capital investment to get started,
two, the right advertising to meet your target
demographic, three, a great product or service to
provide to the community, and four, employees
willing to help your company get off the ground.
And when it comes to employees, the market is
tighter than ever. Today’s small business owners
must get creative and extensive if they want to
attract the best employees possible. No longer will
competitive salary alone get the job done. With
rising healthcare costs, few employees can afford
to be without some form of company insurance. There
is nothing in the law books saying the small
business owner has to provide insurance, but he
fails to do so at his own peril. There are too many
other places to work to take this type of cavalier
attitude toward offering health insurance. In
today’s business world, it is a must.
The best way for these plans to work is for small
business owners to sign their employees up with
some form of group health insurance. These rates
are typically not the best for small businesses,
which will of course have fewer employees in the
plan than larger businesses of the same type.
Still, it’s better than nothing, and you will at
least start to become competitive as far as
attracting and keeping employees. You can, of
course, do your own independent things to make sure
your health insurance rates stay within reasonable
amounts. This could include mandatory drug testing,
and even a no-smoking policy. Becoming OSHA
certified and providing on the job safety and
health training can also help to cut health
insurance costs.
Another way for a small business to cut health
insurance costs is to lease their employees from a
larger company. The employees would then become
independent contractors of a sort, but would be
able to obtain health insurance benefits through
the larger outsourcing company. Because these
companies have an enormous amount of employees in
their contract, it makes getting terrific group
health insurance rates that much easier.
If all of the options for health insurance seem too
daunting, and you feel your time would be better
served figuring out other areas of your business,
consider bringing on an insurance broker. These
brokers can help navigate through the health
insurance jungle and help you to discover the right
plan for your company. It also doesn’t hurt to
simply ask your employees which aspects of health
insurance are most important to them. Find out
whether they would rather pay slightly higher
premiums in exchange for lower deductibles or vice
versa. This employee survey can put you in the
right direction.

A Few Ideas on Internet Marketing
A Few Ideas on Internet Marketing
Copyright © Jose Love
http://www.yourescape.2freedom.com
Promoting your small business on the internet is
crucial in today’s world. The entrepreneur who
ignores this gold mine of potential opportunity
does so at his or her own peril. There is too much
to be gained through marketing on the internet, and
little to be lost. If you company is internet based
to begin with, this is a no-brainer, of course. But
things are rapidly changing on the Web, and those
marketing strategies that worked a few years ago
may not work as well today. Here are a few things
you can do to expose your business to potential new
customers that work today, but may not in a few
years.
SEO. Search engine optimization. For the internet
entrepreneur who wants their website to be a
success, this is the first step toward ensuring
that success. Unless you have unlimited funds with
which to advertise your product, this is a step you
cannot afford to skip. Optimizing your website is
the equivalent of building your brick-and-mortar
store in a major shopping district as opposed to
halfway down a dirt road with an old rusty sign
pointing in the other direction. Its importance
cannot be overstated. There are many facets to SEO,
and not enough room in this article to get into
them. Fortunately, few topics have been as
exhaustively written about. Do a Google search of
your own, and you will find plenty to read.
Pay Per Click. This is another fine way to get your
internet business off and running. This service is
offered by Google, Yahoo!, and MSN, to name a few.
With Google AdWords, you’re going to have the most
potential traffic, but you may also have the most
competition for the best keywords. What does this
mean? Well, AdWords (and the others) work by
letting you create an advertisement (usually a
headline and a couple of sentences). You then must
choose the keywords that will activate your ad.
Then you place a bid on how much you’re willing to
pay per click of your ad, depending on each
keyword. It all sounds a lot more confusing than it
is. The benefit of this type of advertising (as
opposed to, say, banner advertising), is you only
pay when you have been ensured of a visitor. Of
course, what you do with that visitor is up to you
and your own marketing skills.
Articles and inbound links. Next to SEO, this is
the most powerful section of strategy for the up
and coming internet business owner. In order to
move up in the search engine rankings, you must
have incoming links (backlinks, as they’re called
in the SEO world). When the search engines see a
website with a lot of natural inbound links, they
begin to see the website as an authority on
whatever subject the site is about. Thus, the
site’s ranking begins to improve. There are many
ways to go about getting backlinks, but one of the
best ways is through writing articles. There are
article “farms” on the internet, which host your
articles for free and then sell them or give them
away to other website owners, who are hungry for
content. This benefits you because at the end of
the article you will have included your name and a
link to your website. Every time someone grabs your
article to put on their website, you get another
important link.
There are a million successful strategies for
marketing on the internet, but these are the three
building blocks. Go and research them, and your
business will be the better for it.

A Discussion of Business Plans
A Discussion of Business Plans
Copyright © Jose Love
http://www.yourescape.2freedom.com
Nearly every successful (and not a few
unsuccessful) business has created a business plan
or two within the life of the company. These plans
can be used for a variety of reasons, but are most
commonly brought to life when the business is
seeking funds. This may be through fundraising, a
bank loan, or seeking out individual investors, but
the business plan shows how and why investing in
the business is a smart financial idea. Of course,
not all business plans are created by those
businesses looking to turn a profit. Non-profit
businesses also rely on these plans to raise funds;
though they will usually focus on the services and
social good their business will do, rather than a
bottom line financial consideration.
There are several types of business plans, and many
businesses create a business plan meeting each of
the types, depending on the circumstances
necessary. There is the elevator pitch business
plan, which acts as a teaser. These plans can be
used in short, two or three minute presentations in
order to spark greater interest from a group of
investors or a bank. Sometimes, a business will
have only a short time to present their initial
plan, and this is where this type of plan comes in
handy.
There is the oral presentation plan, which usually
focuses on a showy, entertainment aspect of
presentation. This plan is usually put forth to
encourage the potential investors to move forward
and read the written plan, which will be far more
detailed and include all the bottom line financial
considerations. The oral presentation is there to
generate excitement, and appeal to the investors’
human qualities, rather than facts and figures. If
there is a new product being included in the pitch,
a demonstration of the product will usually be a
good idea for the oral presentation.
The written business plan is where it all comes
together. This can be a lengthy as it needs to be,
and should probably follow one or both of the above
plans. Once the business has successfully attracted
some interest from potential investors, they are
given the written plan and can decide from there
whether or not they see the business plan as being
successful.
Business plans are a must for the small business
owner, looking to gain capital and seeking loans
from lending institutions. They are likewise
necessary for those publicly traded companies that
need to let stockholders know what their plans for
the future are. Even if neither of these are true,
business plans are an excellent way, even
internally, to set down goals on paper and give a
direct path of success to a business or company.

A Brief Look at Business Loans
A Brief Look at Business Loans
Copyright © Jose Love
http://www.yourescape.2freedom.com
The first stop for most young entrepreneurs is the
procurable of a business loan from the local
lender. There are several types of loans readily
available for the small businessman who has all his
ducks in a row, and a business plan showing that he
or she knows what they are getting themselves into.
Banks and the Small Business Association are not in
the business of charity, though funding small
businesses is seen as something more substantially
social than a personal loan with high interest
rates. For someone with a college degree, some
substantial collateral, and a smart business plan,
getting a loan should pose no problem. Here are
some of the loans available for the small
businessman.
Micro loans are the smallest category of these
business loans. The cutoff for a micro loan is
usually $35,000, and they typically require a
certain pedigree of training and other requirements
before the banks and/or SBA parts with their money.
Micro loans always require collateral of some kind
as well as a personal guarantee from the lender.
The Small Business Administration has their own
lender programs, and is the first place to look for
many aspiring small businessmen. They offer a
variety of loan guarantee programs, each of them
with their sets of requirements and collateral, and
each reaching various heights of maximum lending.
It is important to note that the SBA does not
actually lend money itself, but rather offers
programs intended to help the small businessman
secure a loan from a bank or otherwise authorized
lender. SBA loans vary in their requirements, but
most of them require at least that the small
businessman himself has put some of his own money
into the venture. They see this as a positive sign
of good faith, and also see it as likely that the
individual with his own money at stake will do all
that he can to see a return on his investment. They
usually require a strong and sharp business plan as
well. These plans show lenders that you know what
you’re doing and have set some specific financial
goals for the future of your business. Good credit
is also a must for getting into the SBA loan
programs.
Franchise financing is what the potential
franchisee will want to look into. These loans can
be easier to secure than traditional,
start-from-scratch business loans. Most franchises
have an established history of profitable business,
and the larger ones have a set path for making
money in just about every conceivable scenario.
Many times the franchise company itself will put
forth money for the loan, encouraging young
entrepreneurs to get into the business, which
benefits both the company and the small
businessman.

Running a Retail Website: What You Need To Know
Running a Retail Website: What You Need To
Know
Copyright © Jose Love
http://www.yourescape.2freedom.com
Of the many potential home businesses, a retail
website is one of the best. Running a retail
website isn’t the easiest thing to do in the world
– but neither has it to be the hardest thing you’ve
ever done. Whatever the goods and services that you
are selling, there are ways and means to make it
work just a little bit better. Here are some tips
that can help you improve your retailing efforts –
and, by extension, your home business.
Create a
niche site. If you want to make it big in the
retailing business, you should have a site, or a
group of sites, that cater to specific customer
groups or to specific products. A “supermarket”
set-up on a retailing website, wherein everything
is thrown together, simply will not work. People
can easily get confused in such an environment.
Confusion can lead to frustration, and frustration
can lead customers to simply give up. A niche site
must be focused, targeted, and relatively easy to
navigate.
Make your site easy to navigate.
Everyday many people are getting on the internet
for the first time. Some of these people are going
to go on your site. If these people cannot navigate
your site, then chances are nil that they will buy
something from you. Make it a practice to review
the layout of your site from time to time. Is it
simple enough? Imagine yourself going around the
site for the first time. Is the overall arrangement
conducive to persuading people to make purchase?
Advertise, advertise, advertise. You can’t expect
anyone to buy from you if they don’t even know that
you’re in business. You should advertise in every
possible way. Over the internet, this means giving
out links and reciprocating people who link their
sites to yours. It means writing articles that can
extend your visibility. It means getting optimized
for the search engines. However, you can also
advertise conventionally. For instance, you can
post banners and give out flyers and stickers. You
can spread your business information by
word-of-mouth as well – which is arguably the most
effective way, anyway. A shining recommendation
from a friend can do more than a thousand
stickers.
Sell quality products. The only way to
make money in retailing is to keep people buying
from you again and again. And the only way to do
that is to provide goods and services that are well
worth the money. Remember that people must feel
satisfied with their purchases, else they probably
never will purchase anything from you again. If you
have excellent products, people will find their way
to you, even if you don’t expend as much effort
advertising them.
By applying these basic tips,
you should be on your way to creating a great
retailing website.

How To Start Your Own Scrapbook Making Business
How To Start Your Own Scrapbook Making
Business
Copyright © Jose Love
http://www.yourescape.2freedom.com
Making scrapbooks is one of the biggest industries
in the country today. According to studies, the
scrapbook industry earns about $3Billion each year
and this figure keeps on growing. Since scrapbook
making can be done in the comforts of your home,
this can be a very lucrative home business for
creative people. The good thing about the scrapbook
making business is that it does not really require
a huge amount of capital. If you are creative and
you know how to make use of whatever materials that
are available, you can already create good
scrapbooks.
Learning the art of scrapbook making
Starting out a home-based scrapbook making business
is easy especially if you are naturally creative
and artistic. However, to make sure that you are on
top of everything, before you start your own
scrapbook making business, you must first learn all
that you know about this hobby. First, you must
know the different techniques of scrapbook making.
Read books and magazines about this business. You
may also enroll in one of those scrapbook making
classes. Practice what you have learned and then
improvise. Always remember that scrapbook making is
an art. Be creative. Always remember that the more
unique your scrapbooks are, the more clients you
will have.
Getting supplies
If you want to engage in the scrapbook making
business, you must know where to get good
materials. Locate a good supplier of paper and
trinkets in your locality and make sure that you
have enough supply of good materials all the time.
If you are planning to do a lot of scrapbooks,
better buy your materials in bulk and get some
discount. On the other hand, if you have no time to
run around town and shop for papers and trinkets,
you can just go online and take a look at those
sites that are selling scrapbook materials. The
good thing about buying your supplies online is
that you get to save a lot of time and effort. Just
make sure that you order your scrapbook making
supplies form reputable online stores or else you
will soon find yourself with some materials which
are substandard or worst, your credit card could
get high jacked and you lose a lot of money.
Marketing your product
The best way to market your product is to create
samples and present them to your friends and
relatives. You can start by asking close family
members friends if they want to have keepsakes are
custom made. You may also display your designs
during family gatherings and special occasions so
that people will have some ideas of what you can
do. If your designs are really good, a lot of
people will be calling you about their scrapbooks
sooner than you can imagine.

How To Start Your Own Home Based Accounting And Bookkeeping Business
How To Start Your Own Home Based Accounting And
Bookkeeping Business
Copyright © Jose Love
http://www.yourescape.2freedom.com
Are you one of those people who is tired of being
confined inside your windowless office cubicle? If
you have been feeling claustrophobic in your small
cramped cubicle with nothing but the computer
filled with accounting files, now is the time for
you to get out of there and look for something that
will not really drive you crazy. There is really
no point of torturing yourself and getting all your
nerves worked out even if the job does pay the
bills. Always bear in mind that you are not here in
this world simply because you need to pay the
bills! You have to live your life a little and have
some fun.
Now, just because you are miserable with your
present job, that doesn’t mean you have to dash out
of the door right this very minute and never look
back. Much as we hate to think about it, we do need
to pay the bills, eat and have a roof over our
heads. If you really want to quit your job, you
better look for alternative means of income first.
Much as you would like to get away from your
workplace fast, you will need your day job to keep
you afloat while you set up your home business. To
inspire you to work hard on your home business, set
a target date when you will quit your job. Keep
your target in mind and strive hard to build your
business.
Since you are an accountant, you might want to
start offering your services as bookkeeper or
accountant to small businesses around your
community. There are probably a lot of small
businesses around your community that need your
services so start calling on people who might be in
need of accountants or bookkeepers. If you know
some people who are into home based business, give
them a call and ask if they need your help. You
will be surprised at how many people actually need
accounting and bookkeeping services.
Another way for you to advertise your services is
to print some brochures describing your work
experience, the services that you are offering and
your professional fees. Distribute your brochures
together with your business cards to family members
and friends and ask them if they know somebody who
might be interested in your services. More often
than not, someone in the family does know somebody
who is in need of accounting services.
It may take you sometime before you can finally
build a good accounting and bookkeeping business.
If things are not moving as fast as you would want
it to be, be patient and don’t stop trying. Sooner
or later you will be able to get enough clients and
generate some good income.

How To Set Up A Simplified Accounting System For Your Home Business
How To Set Up A Simplified Accounting System For
Your Home Business
Copyright © Jose Love
http://www.yourescape.2freedom.com
A lot of home businesses fail because they lack the
necessary financial system to track down the flow
of their money. More often than not, home based
business owners are not really very keen at keeping
their books of accounts, thinking that as long as
money keeps coming in, they will be alright.
Unfortunately, things are not really that simple
when you are engaged in business. If you want to
stay in business for a long time, you will need to
keep track of your financial flow for your own use
and for taxation purposes. Note that if you do not
keep track of your income, sooner or later the IRS
will be on to you and you will get into big trouble.
Setting up your own simplified bookkeeping system
is not really very complicated. If you like to keep
your records in your computer, you might want to
buy accounting software or just simply use whatever
programs that will allow you to make a spreadsheet
in your computer to record your daily transactions.
However, you have some money to spare for an
accounting program, it would be better to have one.
There is a number of easy to use accounting
software being sold in the market today. The good
thing about these accounting programs is that you
do not need to worry about balancing your books of
accounts. You simply input all your data in one
page and the program will run on its own. Most
accounting programs will automatically perform the
different accounting process and will immediately
update your statements of accounts. Retrieving data
from an accounting program is also easy. All you
need to do is to go to it archives and select which
ones you want to see. For instance, if you want to
know how much your net income is for the month, you
simply pull-out the income statement page and you
will see your income instantly. Another advantage
of using a computer accounting program is that you
get rid of all the papers and ledgers in your
workplace.
Now, in case you are not comfortable using your
computer to balance your books, then you just have
to do things the old-fashioned way. What if you do
not know anything about accounting processes? Never
mind if you are not good in accounting and
balancing statements of accounts, just keep a
simplified record of your transactions. A three
column worksheet will do nicely. You can easily
find this type of worksheet in the bookstore. When
dividing your worksheet, you can have one column
for all the money you received in connection with
the business, another column for all the money that
you spend for your business and the third column
will be for your running balance.---------------------------------------------------

Drop Shipping Can Save You Time & Money
Drop Shipping Can Save You Time & Money
Copyright © Jose Love
http://www.yourescape.2freedom.com
Saving time can mean saving money as well when you run your own business. Choosing to use drop shipping can save you both.
If you own your own business and sell items online drop shipping might be the option for you. You market and sell items online at the price you choose, after you sell the item and receive payment for it you place an order at the whole sale price with a ‘drop shipper’. The drop shipper sends the product directly to your customer and you get to pocket the difference. While this sound’s like a terrific plan there are some things you should be aware of and you should definitely do your homework well before deciding on this as an option for you.
The very first thing you should do is find a product that will sell. Not only should it be something that will sell well, but it should also be something that you can sell a high quantity of at a significant mark up to provide you with a decent profit. Doing your research will greatly increase your chance of selling products that will make you a profit. Choosing items that people really want will also help you to make a profit. Research should be done to find out what product or product line should be used, as well as how high the demand for that product is.
The best way to go about this type of business is to sell only a few products, or be sure that the products you sell are generally related. If you try to sell every drop ship item you find you will not be able to keep up with the orders or your marketing efforts could fail because your site will not be clear enough for buyers to maneuver. Choosing items that are similar will give you an easy marketing strategy and provide a clear web site to market your items on.
Next you will want to be sure you find a reputable supplier. A business that is reputable and processes your orders promptly will ensure that your reputation stays in tact. Over the years this type of business has really sky rocketed and the scams have followed. Researching each drop shipper before doing business with them will save you in the long run.
Have a plan in place to deal with back orders and returns. This can happen and without a plan in place you could lose business and be out money. By taking the time to work these things out with your drop shipper ahead of time you can save yourself some major headaches.
By learning all of the essential rules before starting your drop shipping business you can create a very profitable business.

Does Your Business Need an Overhaul?
Does Your Business Need an Overhaul?
Copyright © Jose Love
http://www.yourescape.2freedom.com
If you have noticed sales have been slipping over
the past few weeks or months, you may need to
change your strategy or your business entirely and
begin offering new goods and services. Depending on
your customer demand, you may only need to change
your website or begin offering more products. But
before you make any big changes, you should find
out why business has slowed and what your customers
expect from you.
The first step to overhauling your business is to
send out a survey to existing customers asking them
for input on the goods and services you offer. This
will give you an idea of the types of changes you
may need to make. By learning more about what
customers expect, the changes you have to make may
not be what you expected.
After sending out a survey, you should visit your
website to see if there are any obvious changes to
be made. Make sure your site can be navigated
easily, that all links within the page are working
properly, and that all pages are labeled correctly.
You may need to update your pages with new colors,
images, or content. One of the best ways to ensure
return customers is by offering new content each
month and archiving old content so visitors can
access it when they want. Sprucing up your website
is an inexpensive change that could affect your
business.
Developing new marketing techniques or targeting a
new group of people online can help build your
business. When targeting a specific group of
people, you will have to find out which sites they
are more likely to visit, which blogs they read,
and which products they would be interested in
purchasing on your website. In order to be
successful, you should target two or three specific
groups so you have a better chance of reaching
potential customers. Unless you sell a niche
product that only appeals to a certain group,
attracting the attention of a few groups is best.
Once you have reviewed your marketing strategy,
introduced new products on your site, and altered
the look of your site, you should send out
announcements to everyone on your email list so
they can visit the site. This will increase sales.
Writing a press release announcing these changes is
another way to help spread the word. Maintaining a
certain level of exposure online is the only way to
enjoy continued success when running an Internet
business.
Overhauling your business may need to happen every
few years in order to attract new groups of
customers. Be patient and affect changes as they
come. Utilize all the marketing tools you can in
order to build your business so it can remain
successful.

The Three Golden Laws of Home Business
The Three Golden Laws of Home Business
Copyright © Jose Love
http://perfectbiz.here.ws
Starting, running, and turning a profit out of a
home business does not have to be the tall task
that most people make it out to be. While it
certainly isn’t easy, it doesn’t have to be overly
difficult either. With a little bit of forethought
and planning, even the hardest, most complex of
things can become relatively simple.
There are
three golden laws in running a home business. If
followed, these laws will help you create a dynamic
home business, one that allows you make a decent
living. If ignored, these laws will ensure that
your home business does not rise above average
operating results.
First, plan all the way to the
end. You must have a concrete vision for the
business. Where will it be five, ten, twenty years
from now? What sort of scale will it have? What
will it be doing differently, and what things will
remain the same? Try to envision all the obstacles
that may come up and prepare plans to meet them. To
be sure, you will be unable to foresee all the
crises that will occur. But mentally, you must be
prepared for them as they come. Circumstances
should not catch you completely off-guard; you
should have a measure of preparation against
ever-changing situations.
Second, work hard – and
make your people work hard as well. With your home
business, everything will start with you. You must
work to become the greatest, most capable
individual that you can become. Spare no expense in
your education, within reason, as long as such
education is helping you prepare for the future.
Then, be sure that you work as hard as you can,
learning all the ins and outs of the trade of which
you are in. A good work ethic is important to
success, and you should not neglect it. A corollary
to this is that you should hire people who are just
as hard-working as you are. Be sure to set targets
for both yourself and others, and measure what gets
done. Give reward liberally to those who
achieve.
Third, utilize the power of personal
networks. There is an old adage that says “It is
not what you know, but whom you know.” While we may
rebel against what this truism may imply, the fact
remains that worldly success depends on a high
degree to the number and quality of people who are
kindly disposed towards you. Your personal network,
as well as the networks of the people who work for
you, should be utilized to their full potential, in
terms of advertising and sales efforts. Treat those
in your personal network well, provide the
necessary services, and they in turn may promote
your business to those in their networks.

difficult either. With a little bit of forethought
and planning, even the hardest, most complex of
things can become relatively simple.
There are
three golden laws in running a home business. If
followed, these laws will help you create a dynamic
home business, one that allows you make a decent
living. If ignored, these laws will ensure that
your home business does not rise above average
operating results.
First, plan all the way to the
end. You must have a concrete vision for the
business. Where will it be five, ten, twenty years
from now? What sort of scale will it have? What
will it be doing differently, and what things will
remain the same? Try to envision all the obstacles
that may come up and prepare plans to meet them. To
be sure, you will be unable to foresee all the
crises that will occur. But mentally, you must be
prepared for them as they come. Circumstances
should not catch you completely off-guard; you
should have a measure of preparation against
ever-changing situations.
Second, work hard – and
make your people work hard as well. With your home
business, everything will start with you. You must
work to become the greatest, most capable
individual that you can become. Spare no expense in
your education, within reason, as long as such
education is helping you prepare for the future.
Then, be sure that you work as hard as you can,
learning all the ins and outs of the trade of which
you are in. A good work ethic is important to
success, and you should not neglect it. A corollary
to this is that you should hire people who are just
as hard-working as you are. Be sure to set targets
for both yourself and others, and measure what gets
done. Give reward liberally to those who
achieve.
Third, utilize the power of personal
networks. There is an old adage that says “It is
not what you know, but whom you know.” While we may
rebel against what this truism may imply, the fact
remains that worldly success depends on a high
degree to the number and quality of people who are
kindly disposed towards you. Your personal network,
as well as the networks of the people who work for
you, should be utilized to their full potential, in
terms of advertising and sales efforts. Treat those
in your personal network well, provide the
necessary services, and they in turn may promote
your business to those in their networks.

Taking a Closer Look At The Profit Angle
Taking a Closer Look At The Profit Angle
Copyright © Jose Love
http://perfectbiz.here.ws
Some people engage in a certain home business out of whim. It is uncommon for people to start a home business simply because they feel that this business is right for them. Unfortunately, in business, gut feel may not be enough to keep you going. More often than not, your gut feel does not really turn into reality. To really stay in business, you need to study your profit angle closely. You need to ask yourself “is this business going to be profitable?” and “how will this business become profitable?” “What will it take to make this business profitable?” If you can honestly answer these questions, then, you are closer to your dreams of making your home business a success.
Projecting future profit
To be able to make a sound projection of profits, you will need to formulate a sound business plan. In your business plan, you must make a realistic projection. You must be able to identify the expenses that you will mostly incur in the course of your business and then determine how much goods and services you will need to sell to be able to recover your cost and earn some profits. You can do your comparison by making a projected income statement.
Now, if you have no idea how to make a projected income statement or a projected financial statement for that matter, don’t start fretting about it. Making a projected income or financial statement is not exactly rocket science. It is just a projection of how much money you need to earn in order to be able to pay for your business expenses and at the same time earn enough money as profit. If you are not familiar with accounting methods and process, make a research on how these things are done. Yes of course you can formulate your own methods of computing things but then your methods of computing might not really be the right way to do things. Besides, it is always easier to follow an established method of computing for profit making up something of your own.
If you do not have any spare time to learn how to make a projected financial statement, you better buy a simplified computer accounting program that will allow you to create projected financial statements. The good thing about these types of simplified computer accounting programs is that you only need to input some values into the questionnaire and the program will run on its own. If you want to change your projections, you simply change the values in the questionnaire and the program will automatically adjust the figures in your projected financial statement. Most programs will allow you to change the figures as many times as you would like. This means that by spending a few dollars on a computer program, you get the work done in just a fraction of the time it would have required you to perform it had you done things manually.

Setting Up Your Own Home Based Catering Business
Setting Up Your Own Home Based Catering
Business
Copyright © Jose Love
http://perfectbiz.here.ws
Are you one of those people who love to cook? If
you love cooking, you might want to put your
talents to work and set up your own home based
catering business. The good thing about setting up
your business at home is that you get to earn money
while keeping an eye on the kids.
Formulating your business plan
before you start your business, be sure that you
have a sound business plan. Always bear in mind
that your business plan is very important if you
want to succeed in your business. You don’t really
need a complicated business. All you need is a list
of things that you need to do to get things
started, have a business goal, a timeframe and a
budget. Now, don’t runaway yet, it’s not really as
complicated as it sounds. You don’t need to have a
PhD to write your business plan. To make a
simplified business plan, just get a piece of paper
and divide it into four columns. The first column
should be allocated for particulars where you will
write all the things that you will need to do, the
second column could be for time frame where you get
to write the time and date when you will need to
perform the task that you listed in your column for
particulars, the third column will need be for your
expected expenses and the fourth column will be for
your expected output.
When formulating your business plan, make sure that
you list all the things that need to be done,
preferably in a chronological order or in your
order of priorities. For instance, since you are
setting up a home based catering business, you will
need to get cooking equipment. On your first
column, you may write there purchase of equipment
and cooking utensils. Make sure that you identify
all the equipment and utensils that you need. You
may write them according to your priorities. On the
second column, write when you will purchase these
things. In case you are not planning to purchase
all your equipment all at the same time, write the
different target dates you have. For your third
column, estimate how much money you need to get you
equipment. You may also write in your business
plan as to where you intend to get the money from.
The fourth column of the simplified business plan can
be a bit tricky. Here you will make some business
projections. If you are buying equipment, you will
need to project how you will be able to recover the
cost of your investment. Be realistic in your
projections. Always bear in mind that it will not
do you any good to be overly optimistic. Always be
conservative when making projections. It is always
better to exceed your projected income than to fall
miserably below it.

Running a Retail Website: What You Need To Know
Running a Retail Website: What You Need To Know
Copyright © Jose Love
http://perfectbiz.here.ws
Of the many potential home businesses, a retail website is one of the best. Running a retail website isn’t the easiest thing to do in the world – but neither has it to be the hardest thing you’ve ever done. Whatever the goods and services that you are selling, there are ways and means to make it work just a little bit better. Here are some tips that can help you improve your retailing efforts – and, by extension, your home business.
Create a niche site. If you want to make it big in the retailing business, you should have a site, or a group of sites, that cater to specific customer groups or to specific products. A “supermarket” set-up on a retailing website, wherein everything is thrown together, simply will not work. People can easily get confused in such an environment. Confusion can lead to frustration, and frustration can lead customers to simply give up. A niche site must be focused, targeted, and relatively easy to navigate.
Make your site easy to navigate. Everyday many people are getting on the internet for the first time. Some of these people are going to go on your site. If these people cannot navigate your site, then chances are nil that they will buy something from you. Make it a practice to review the layout of your site from time to time. Is it simple enough? Imagine yourself going around the site for the first time. Is the overall arrangement conducive to persuading people to make purchase?
Advertise, advertise, advertise. You can’t expect anyone to buy from you if they don’t even know that you’re in business. You should advertise in every possible way. Over the internet, this means giving out links and reciprocating people who link their sites to yours. It means writing articles that can extend your visibility. It means getting optimized for the search engines. However, you can also advertise conventionally. For instance, you can post banners and give out flyers and stickers. You can spread your business information by word-of-mouth as well – which is arguably the most effective way, anyway. A shining recommendation from a friend can do more than a thousand stickers.
Sell quality products. The only way to make money in retailing is to keep people buying from you again and again. And the only way to do that is to provide goods and services that are well worth the money. Remember that people must feel satisfied with their purchases, else they probably never will purchase anything from you again. If you have excellent products, people will find their way to you, even if you don’t expend as much effort advertising them.
By applying these basic tips, you should be on your way to creating a great retailing website.

Reasons to Have a Home Business
Reasons to Have a Home Business
Copyright © Jose Love
http://perfectbiz.here.ws
If you are thinking about starting up a home
business, chances are that you don’t need to be
convinced. However, you have to be sure that you
are doing the home business for the right reasons,
and that you aren’t going to be surprised by
anything that might happen while you are working
with your home business. Make sure that you are
doing it for the right reasons, and you are going
to be more likely to be happy with the way that
your home business turns out.
Reasons
There are many reasons to have a home business. You
need to make sure that you are doing it for a good
reason, and that this is going to fit into your
life. You shouldn’t decide that you want to open a
home business, for instance, if you simply want to
work at home. There are many ways that you can work
at home without having your own home business, and
so if you simply want to have the freedom of
working at home, then a home business might not be
the best option for you. However, if you really
have the drive and ambition to not only work at
home, but to be able to create a business from
scratch, then it is something that you should
consider.
You should also not open a home business simply
because you are angry with the way that your boss
is running your business. A good reason to open a
home business might be that you have new and
innovative ideas for whatever field you are working
in, and this might be why you want the home
business. However, if you are simply doing it so
that you can do what your boss does, only try to do
it better, you are not going into the business for
the right reasons.
You should be opening a home business because you
want to make a difference in the field, and also
because you truly enjoy what you are doing and
think that you are going to be able to do it very
well from home. These are all reasons that you
might want to consider starting a home business.
The idea of working form home and being your own
boss should simply be something good that goes
along with it. Remember that no matter what, once
you start a home business it is going to be in your
life, and it is going to be something that you have
to plan for in the future. This means that a home
business is something that you need to think
through and plan carefully before you decide it is
for you for sure. This is very important to
remember.

Passing Your Home Business On To Your Kids
Passing Your Home Business On To Your Kids
Copyright © Jose Love
http://perfectbiz.here.ws
There is something that is part of a home business
that you might not have thought of, and that is
where you are going with your business in the
future. Remember that although you are around right
now to run your home business, like any business,
you should be hoping that you are going to continue
to be successful and that you are going to continue
to move foreword in whatever you are doing. If this
is the case, you should be thinking about the
future of your business and what you plan on doing
with it. Remember that you might want to pass it
on, in the end.
Passing On A Business
When it comes to whether or not you want to pass
your home business on to your children, you have to
think about it in the same way that you would think
about passing on a regular business to your kids.
There are several things that you have to think
about, and you have to make sure that your family
knows what you want to do.
Interest
First of all, you want to make sure that your
family is interested. You don’t want to expect your
children to take over your business if they aren’t
interested in it, or if they have no idea what it
is all about. If your kids don’t seem like they are
interested, you might be better of selling your
business before your retire so that you know your
business is in the right hands. Remember, when you
sell your business, you want to make your children
happy and you want to keep your business running.
If you don’t think your kids are going to be happy
running the business, it might not be the best
thing to do.
Responsibility
Another thing that you should keep in mind is that
you have worked hard to get your business where it
is, and you are going to want to be sure that it
gets passed on to someone who is going to be
responsible with it. This is one of the most
important things that you have to think about when
you are considering whether or not to give your
kids your home business. Remember that if they have
shown interest, and you think that they are going
to handle your home business in a responsible way,
this might be something that you consider doing.
In the end you have to remember that you are the
one who has built up your home business, and this
means that you are the one who has a say in what
happens to it when you are finished being in
charge. Make sure that you have made your
intentions clear, and make sure that you feel good
about what is going to happen to your business
later on down the road.

The Problem of Time Management

aware of how it can consume most of your time. Most
likely, this happens against your will. After all,
there are probably many things that you want to do
with your time, such as spending time with your
spouse and your children, going out with your
friends, listening to music, reading some books, or
what not. And yet, the task of managing your home
business seems to take up all of your time. What
can you possibly do?
What was described in the
first paragraph is a classic example of a time
management dilemma. Millions of people, not just
home business owners, feel that they are not in
complete control of their time. This tends to make
people miserable, since most people want to feel in
control of their lives. After all, what is your
life but a measurement of your time? As long as you
are unable to spend your time in a manner that you
wish, you will never be truly happy, no matter how
much money you earn or how many accolades you
receive.
Managing Your Time Properly
Set your priorities.
The cardinal rule of time management is this: Set
your priorities. In life, there is probably nothing
more important than setting your priorities, since
they will set the stage for just how much time you
will spend on each area of your life. You must
clarify in your mind exactly what you want in life,
and determine to spend more time on those things
that you feel are most important.
In the immortal
words of Goethe, “Things that matter most must
never be at the mercy of things that matter least.”
If your home business is the most important to you,
then it is only right that you use most of your
time on it. But if it isn’t, you should begin to
scale back on the time you spend on it. You can
either 1) get someone else to do the job for you;
or 2) scale back on the amount of work you are
already doing. Remember: You own your home
business; it doesn’t own you.
When you work,
work. Time management gurus tell us that most
people don’t really work all the time that they
work. This means that they may be putting in 8
hours at work, but they’re not really working for
all of those 8 hours. They may spend an hour here
chatting with officemates, another hour there for
lunch, and another utterly distracted. This causes
work to pile up and problems to surface at a later
time.
To avoid this, work all the time you work.
While you should definitely take breaks whenever
you need them, make sure you are not kidding
yourself and taking more time than you need to. By
focusing on the task at hand, you will get it done
quicker and with less effort, freeing up more time
for the other things you want to do.

Keeping Sane With Your Home Business
Keeping Sane With Your Home Business
Copyright © Jose Love
http://perfectbiz.here.ws
There are many things that you have to think about
when it comes to running your home business. One of
the biggest things is to make sure that you don’t
get sucked up into your home business, and that you
are able to stay sane and keep it together to your
family. Remember that they are probably part of why
you have decided to have a home business, so you
have to be sure that you are doing the best that
you can for them and providing them with every
opportunity to live a great life.
List Priorities
One of the most important things that you can do
for yourself to keep your head clear and to keep
sane while you are having a home business is to
make a list of your priorities and see if you can
stick to it. This is something that you should do
before you even start to think about having a home
business, because once you have gotten started you
are going to find that you have a lot more to think
about. There are going to be more offers than you
think you can handle, and there are going to be a
lot of decisions that you need to make. The best
thing that you can do for yourself is to keep your
list of priorities and to stick to it. If you say
that you are going to only let your business get so
big during your first year, and you make sure you
stick to this, you aren’t going to find yourself
with a business that is out of your control right
away.
Keep things Separate
Another thing that you should do when you are
trying to keep sane with your home business is to
be sure that you are taking time away from your
business. It is very important to start off your
business by working very hard, but you also need to
keep your family and your private life as something
completely different, or you will find that you end
up in trouble by going crazy with your home
business.
A good way to keep things separate and to try to
stay sane is to have office hours where you are
working, and the have hours where you are not
working, you are simply at home with your family.
This is always a great way to keep your business
and your private life separate, and if you are
going to be successful with your home business, it
is something that you need to be able to do, and
you need to be able to do it well. Remember that
if you can do these things, you are going to be
able to be much more successful with your home
business, and you are going to stay sane.

How To Start Your Own Scrapbook Making Business
How To Start Your Own Scrapbook Making
Business
Copyright © Jose Love
http://perfectbiz.here.ws
Making scrapbooks is one of the biggest industries
in the country today. According to studies, the
scrapbook industry earns about $3Billion each year
and this figure keeps on growing. Since scrapbook
making can be done in the comforts of your home,
this can be a very lucrative home business for
creative people. The good thing about the scrapbook

a huge amount of capital. If you are creative and
you know how to make use of whatever materials that
are available, you can already create good
scrapbooks.
Learning the art of scrapbook making
Starting out a home-based scrapbook making business
is easy especially if you are naturally creative
and artistic. However, to make sure that you are on
top of everything, before you start your own
scrapbook making business, you must first learn all
that you know about this hobby. First, you must
know the different techniques of scrapbook making.
Read books and magazines about this business. You
may also enroll in one of those scrapbook making
classes. Practice what you have learned and then
improvise. Always remember that scrapbook making is
an art. Be creative. Always remember that the more
unique your scrapbooks are, the more clients you
will have.
Getting supplies
If you want to engage in the scrapbook making
business, you must know where to get good
materials. Locate a good supplier of paper and
trinkets in your locality and make sure that you
have enough supply of good materials all the time.
If you are planning to do a lot of scrapbooks,
better buy your materials in bulk and get some
discount. On the other hand, if you have no time to
run around town and shop for papers and trinkets,
you can just go online and take a look at those
sites that are selling scrapbook materials. The
good thing about buying your supplies online is
that you get to save a lot of time and effort. Just
make sure that you order your scrapbook making
supplies from reputable online stores or else you
will soon find yourself with some materials which
are substandard or worst, your credit card could
get high jacked and you lose a lot of money.
Marketing your product
The best way to market your product is to create
samples and present them to your friends and
relatives. You can start by asking close family
members friends if they want to have keepsakes that
are custom made. You may also display your designs
during family gatherings and special occasions so
that people will have some idea of what you can do.
If your designs are really good, a lot of people

than you can imagine.

How To Start Your Own Home Based Meals To Go Business
How To Start Your Own Home Based Meals To Go
Business
Copyright © Jose Love
http://perfectbiz.here.ws
If you are one of those people who love to cook,
you might want to explore the possibilities of
selling meals to go in your community. A lot of
people are not really eating right these days. In
most cases, familiar thrive on processed and
instant foods because everyone is too busy to
prepare a healthy meal. By offering home cooked
meals to go, you will be able to help others eat
more healthy foods and at the same time earn some
money to contribute to the family coffers. If your
neighbors and friends love your cooking, you will
most likely have a lot of people knocking on your
door and asking for a decent meal.
Getting organized
If you happen to live in an apartment building
where everyone leaves the place in a hurry
everyday, you might want to offer some breakfast,
lunch or dinner to go. However, before you do so,
you better check with the building administrator if
these things are allowed or lese you will get into
trouble. There are many apartment buildings that
do not really allow these things because this could
be a source of fire hazards. On the other hand, if
you have your own house, offering meals to go will
not be much of a problem. In most cases, after
complying with government regulations, you can
start your home business immediately.
Organizing things for your food to go business is
not really that difficult especially if you have a
computer with internet connection in your home. You
can start by asking the people in the building for
their email or instant messaging address. You can
send your menu for the day to these addresses and
ask them to send you a message as to what they will
have for breakfast, lunch or dinner. For your
neighbors who do not have internet connection, you
can just put a cork board outside your door where
you can post your menu for the day. You may also
provide for some paper and a box where your clients
can write their order and then drop them in the
box. Furthermore, having a business phone is a
must. Some of your clients may want to call you to
place or cancel their orders. Never rely on your
home phone for this purpose. Always bear in mind
that the home phone should only be used for
personal transactions and the business phone should
dedicated solely for entertaining clients.
Set a specific time and place where your clients
can pick up their food. Make sure that you are
already and waiting a few minutes before your
clients starts arriving so that you will not have
difficulties getting things in order.

How To Start Your Own Home Based Accounting And Bookkeeping Business
Copyright © Jose Love
http://perfectbiz.here.ws
Are you own of those people who are tired of being confined inside your windowless office cubicle? If you have been feeling claustrophobic in your small cramped cubicle with nothing but the computer filled with accounting files, now is the time for you to get out of there and look for something that will not really drive you crazy. There is really no point of torturing yourself and getting all your nerves worked out even if the job does pay the bills. Always bear in mind that you are not here in this world simply because you need to pay the bills! You have to live your life a little and have some fun.
Now, just because you are miserable with your present job, that doesn’t mean you have to dash out of the door right thins very minute and never look back. Much as we hate to think about it, we do need to pay the bills, eat and have a roof over our heads. If you really want to quit your job, you better look for alternative means of income first. Much as you would like to get away from your workplace fast, you will need your day job to keep you afloat while you set up your home business. To inspire you to work hard on your home business, set a target date when you will quit your job. Keep your target in mind and strive hard to build your business.
Since you are an accountant, you might want to start offering your services as bookkeeper or accountant to small business around your community. There are probably a lot of small businesses around your community that needs your services so start calling on people who might be in need of accountants or bookkeepers. If you know some people who are into home based business, give them a call and ask if they need your help. You will be surprised at how many people actually need accounting and bookkeeping services.
Another way for you to advertise your services is to print some brochures of describing your work experience, the services that you are offering and your professional fees. Distribute your brochures together with your business cards to family members and friends and ask them if they know somebody who might be interested in your services. More often than not, someone in the family does know somebody who is in need of accounting services.
It may take you sometime before you can finally build a good accounting and bookkeeping business. If things are not moving as fast as you would want it to be, be patient and don’t stop trying. Sooner or later you will be able to get enough clients and generate some good income.

How To Start A Pet Based Home Business
How To Start A Pet Based Home Business
Copyright © Jose Love
http://perfectbiz.here.ws
Are you one of those people who love animals? If you are one of those people who love animals, you might want to set up your
own pet based home business. The good thing about selling products for pets is that you get to have some fun by doing the
things that you really want to do and at the same time earn some good money. Besides, if you have kids in the house, they
will probably have as much fun as you do. Kids and pets belong together so you will not really have any problems asking your
kids to help out in your home business. Getting your children to help in your home business is a great way of teaching them
how to be responsible.
Setting up your business
Setting up a pet-based home business is not really difficult. You don’t need to have a big space to keep all your stuff. If
you open an online store where you can sell your products, you will only need to keep a few things in your house. You can
just run to your supplier any time you need something. Since you will not need to keep a huge amount of inventory of pet
products, you will not need a lot of money as capital investment. A few hundred dollars for your computer with internet
connection and your initial inventory will be enough. For your web hosting, you can just use one of those free sites for a
start to save on cost. There is really no point of wasting too much money on web hosting when you can have something for
free. Besides, those sites that are offering their services for free are not really that bad.
Selecting your products
There are lots of pet based products that you can choose from. If you want to specialize on organic products for pets, you
might want to take a look into organically grown food for dogs as well as toys that are made of biodegradable and organic
substances. The good thing about selling these types of products is that you get to help save the planet at the same time.
Besides, according to experts, organic products for animals are a lot safer because they do not contain any harmful chemical
additives. Healthy pets make great companions.
When planning to sell organic pet products, you should first locate a good supplier of these products. Find a supplier of
organic products near you so that you can just simply to go their place whenever you need something for your store. Always
make sure that you have steady supply of the products that you sell in your site otherwise you will have many disgruntled
clients in your hands. Having disgruntled clients is not really a pretty thing so make sure that you give good service.

Are you one of those people who love animals? If you are one of those people who love animals, you might want to set up your
own pet based home business. The good thing about selling products for pets is that you get to have some fun by doing the
things that you really want to do and at the same time earn some good money. Besides, if you have kids in the house, they
will probably have as much fun as you do. Kids and pets belong together so you will not really have any problems asking your
kids to help out in your home business. Getting your children to help in your home business is a great way of teaching them
how to be responsible.
Setting up your business
Setting up a pet-based home business is not really difficult. You don’t need to have a big space to keep all your stuff. If
you open an online store where you can sell your products, you will only need to keep a few things in your house. You can
just run to your supplier any time you need something. Since you will not need to keep a huge amount of inventory of pet
products, you will not need a lot of money as capital investment. A few hundred dollars for your computer with internet
connection and your initial inventory will be enough. For your web hosting, you can just use one of those free sites for a
start to save on cost. There is really no point of wasting too much money on web hosting when you can have something for
free. Besides, those sites that are offering their services for free are not really that bad.
Selecting your products
There are lots of pet based products that you can choose from. If you want to specialize on organic products for pets, you
might want to take a look into organically grown food for dogs as well as toys that are made of biodegradable and organic
substances. The good thing about selling these types of products is that you get to help save the planet at the same time.
Besides, according to experts, organic products for animals are a lot safer because they do not contain any harmful chemical
additives. Healthy pets make great companions.
When planning to sell organic pet products, you should first locate a good supplier of these products. Find a supplier of
organic products near you so that you can just simply to go their place whenever you need something for your store. Always
make sure that you have steady supply of the products that you sell in your site otherwise you will have many disgruntled
clients in your hands. Having disgruntled clients is not really a pretty thing so make sure that you give good service.

business can help you save a lot of money. For

can turn your house into a child minding center or
a day care center. There are a lot of parents out
there who need a safe place where they can leave
their kids while they go to work or do some
shopping. A day care center is not really hard to
promote in the neighborhood. Once the people in
your community learn that you are offering this
type of service, they will start coming to your
doorstep.

There are many online businesses that do not
require you to put any capital at all. For
instance, if you are a good writer, you can offer
your services online. The good thing about working
as an online freelance writer is that you can work
anywhere you are. As long as you have a computer
with internet connection, it doesn’t matter if you
are working inside the mall, the coffee shop or by
the beach for that matter. On the hand, if you have
no writing skills, you can always join one of those
online affiliate marketing programs and earn
commissions from the sales generated from your
site. Most online affiliate marketing programs do
not require you to put capital to get started. The
good thing about these online affiliate programs is
that they give out big commissions. If your site

How To Set Up A Simplified Accounting System For Your Home Business
How To Set Up A Simplified Accounting System For
Your Home Business
Copyright © Jose Love
http://jlove.payitforward4profits.com
A lot of home businesses fail because they lack the
necessary financial system to track down the flow
of their money. More often than not, home based
business owners are not really very keen at keeping
their books of accounts, thinking that as long as
money keeps coming in, they will be alright.
Unfortunately, things are not really that simply
when you are engaged in business. If you want to
stay in business for a long time, you will need to
keep track of your financial flow for your own use
and for taxation purposes. Note that if you do not
keep track of your income, sooner or later the IRS
will be unto you and you will get into big trouble.
Setting up your own simplified bookkeeping system
is not really very complicated. If you like to keep
your records in your computer, you might want to
buy accounting software or just simply use whatever
programs that will allow you to make a spreadsheet
in your computer to record your daily transactions.
However, you have some money to spare for an
accounting program, it would be better to have one.
There is a number of easy to use accounting
software being sold in the market today. The good
thing about these accounting programs is that you
do not need to worry about balancing your books of
accounts. You simply input all your data in one
page and the program will run on its own. Most
accounting programs will automatically perform the
different accounting process and will immediately
update your statements of accounts. Retrieving data
from an accounting program is also easy. All you
need to do is to go to it archives and select which
ones you want to see. For instance, if you want to
know how much your net income is for the month, you
simply pull-out the income statement page and you
will see your income instantly. Another advantage
of using a computer accounting program is that you
get rid of all the papers and ledgers in your
workplace.
Now, in case you are not comfortable using your
computer to balance your books, then you just have
to you things the old-fashioned way. What if you do
not know anything about accounting processes? Never
mind if you are not good in accounting and
balancing statements of accounts, just keep a
simplified records of your transactions. A three
column worksheet will do nicely. You can easily
find this type of worksheet in the bookstore. When
dividing your worksheet, you can have one column
for all the money you received in connection with
the business, another column for all the money that
you spend for your business and the third column
will be for your running balance.
