Make my brain stop!

Oh how I wish there were an easier way to do taxes for a business! I mean, I already go to a tax person for all that, but getting something else might help during the year so we don’t have so much to think about at the end of it all. For instance, visually based business intelligence software could do the trick. I would have to be consistent about putting all the info into the computer, though. As it stands, most of our records are on paper. I don’t know. We will see what the future holds!

Making it work

Sun T. — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 20:48:31 +0000

It has been a tough season to be in business for oneself. I will be blessed to make 1/4 of what I made last year. It’s really hard to try and think of a new home based business that might make money in this economy, too. I have been cooking up ideas, but nothing is panning out so far. I just don’t know what I am going to end up doing. Should I keep on trying or just give it all up for good? I’m not losing money, but I am not really making enough to say it’s part time anymore. It’s just hard all around, I guess.

How will we all survive?

I am so uncertain of what is going to happen with the defeat of the 700 billion dollar bailout proposal. The stocks are falling like apples in an earthquake. I am just watching the structure fall around me with no real way to do anything about it. I pray. I pray that we will all be okay. This is so scary! To have the threat of another “Great Depression” looming over our heads…thinking about the soup lines and all the crazy things that happened during that time. The history reads just like what is going on right now. What happened? I still don’t understand how exactly, save the unnecessary war, we got into this predicament again.

May God help us all.

Business presentations

You ever go through an art gallery that has moving picture art? Have you ever seen the types of screens that look seamless, but have ever changing art projects on them? I have, but I never realized that there was such thing as video wall rentals so you could get them for any type of event. I have to wonder what this type of presentation would do for our business. I wonder if it would help it to explode by leaps and bounds. I mean, it is pretty impressive to see a full presentation on a wall in that fashion. Something to think about when we do our full business briefings.

Easy logo design

Sometimes I am not in the mood to figure out my own logo. There are sites online that do easy, custom logo design for low prices. You can try this particular one out. I made this logo design in less than 5 minutes:

Simple, yet effective. There are a large number of graphics and fonts to choose from. You can change the colors of every part of the logo. It’s a great way to get your brand out quickly and professionally without a heaping load of expense.

Getting our finances together

Sun T. — Mon, 26 May 2008 01:09:01 +0000

It’s crazy to have to be a “grown up” and figure out all the different things you need to make sure you are financially secure. Right now I have to find out how much our term life insurance quotes us for the whole “in the event we need to cash this out” scenario. I am in the process of finding every bill we ever paid, every receipt we ever got… it’s a daunting task. I hope that I can find enough paperwork to get us a baseline for what we have to do in the coming months.

Looking for some STIMUL-ation?

I was just made aware that you can look up where your stimulus check is located. Take a gander at this link from the IRS. Mine is apparently coming in paper check form because I didn’t pay my fees up front. Oh, joy and rapture. I hope it doesn’t go to our old address *doh*.

Getting seen and heard

Sun T. — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 00:28:43 +0000

Ever pay attention to the little televisions some places have with advertisements being shown on them in the store? I was thinking about the usefulness of digital signage for things like podcasts. If I wanted to show off my podcast, couldn’t I put it on a television like those in Walmart. People often write down the web addresses of things they are interested in from those presentations. They also capture a person’s attention moreso than a flyer or a business card. What do you all think?

Yay for refunds

Sun T. — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:42:11 +0000

Got our taxes (some of them) back today. Glad that I can finally go shopping WHOOHOO. Ordered my Creative Knitting magazine today. That was a present from Christmas that Hubby just gave me. I have a ton of other things I have to do, pay on, and deal with but I am just glad we have it so we can get things done.We got back a bit more than we had been estimated to get, so that was a nice surprise, too.

Wish I could carve out a space

Sun T. — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 19:40:55 +0000

The apartment in which I live is awesome. I love the space we have. The only things I would upgrade are the storage and having a place that I can carve out just for an office. I need one spot where I can have a number of filing cabinets, modern office furniture, computers, phones, and nothing but the things I need to focus on when I work. It’s rather distracting to have the television going, the kid running around in circles, and the dog sniffing around for food all the time. I love working at home, but sometimes it is just nice to have that one spot that you can call your work zone.
