Technology love

Some say it is bad for our society that no one ever talks anymore or writes letters. I’m not so sure.

What I do know is that I feel more connected with the people in my life since I’ve embraced new technology. I talk to my kids all day via texting.

Cash vs Accrual – Which Accounting Method Works for You?

rebecca — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:22:39 +0000

One of the main differences between the cash and accrual methods of accounting is when revenue and expenses are reported. In a cash method, revenue is recognized when money is actually received and an expense is posted on the date it is paid. This method is used often by service businesses because they do not typically carry substantial inventory. There are some businesses that cannot use a cash method. Some examples are:

* A corporation (other than S) with revenue exceeding $5 million

* A business that carries inventoryRead More >>

Trust me. I’m a professional.

You meet someone in business and life when you see what you perceive as an acute flaw. You can't help yourself and you launch a not-so-subtle time management tip like, “better never than late!” or seemingly harmless advice such as “you know my mom used to fold laundry like this."

We are always on the lookout for places to apply our expertise, thinking if I can change one person for the better, then my work here is done. Many act on those needs through unsolicited advice, and others do nothing while they still think and plot.Read More >>

I have heard complaints about hating jobs, how life is overwhelming, being overweight, kids that act up, boyfriends who cheat, business passion is gone because business is in trouble, and on and on. All of these people I love and respect but enough is enough.Read More >>
