Looking for a Quick Fix? Then We Aren’t Looking for You.

During a recent meeting with a prospect, I was discussing what Relevate truly believed in and how relationship marketing works. I mentioned we ask for a six month commitment as building relationships takes time. To illustrate the point, I told a story about another potential client who wanted me to charge him a premium rate for one month, saying “let’s see if we get anything,” but I wouldn’t do it. Out of this pretty darn smart (and…

A Teachable Moment…from a Walmart Employee

It is only fair since I have been known to write rants about such corporate giants as Walmart, I should let it be known when I am pleased as well. Last week, my six year old daughter and I were shopping for paint as I planned to paint our basement before the end of the month. Since it was the basement, I was not planning on paying top dollar for paint, and Walmart fit the bill.

Now I have been to stores all around our area for paint – Menard’s, Lowe’s, Home Depot and Walmart – and…

Are You Willing to Play Big?

by Amy Barnes, MBA MA LMHC



Until recently I didn’t realize that I had a choice. I didn't realize I could choose to play or small. Then I realized how small I had been playing. I could make lots of excuses about why I was playing small, not working up to my full potential or using all my gifts and talents in most areas of my life. The unpleasant truth was that I had chosen to show up being less than I could be.



I could make lots of excuses. I could blame my childhood or the… Continue

Focus on good deals, not media reports

It’s hard to decide these days whether to be optimistic or pessimistic about the housing market. Different people have different outlooks, which is evident in the conflicting headlines you see on a daily basis.

According to a recent article on DSnews.com, the S&P/Case-Shiller national home price index officially double-dipped, hitting a new recession low with the first quarter’s data showing a decline of 4.2 percent. An article on HousingWire.com, however, said…

IRS Raises Standard mileage rate to $.555 / mile

 

We finally get some relief from these higher gas prices.  The IRS has raised the standard mileage rates for business, medical and charitable miles.  Therefore, you will get a bigger tax deduction for the business use of your personal vehicle and pay less income tax.  Every little bit helps right?  Please see short little article below.  See more articles and tax tips at my website www.lawriecpagroup.com

Random Thoughts – Crazy Interview Questions and Owning My Own Business

Honestly, I’m not sure where this blog post is going, but read an interesting article recently in an e-newsletter I had received from CBS MoneyWatch, and it just made me laugh a bit. It was about crazy interview questions from a variety of businesses, including Google, Proctor and Gamble, and Goldman Sachs.

I have owned my own company…

NFL Lockout

If BP was forced to pay for the economic disaster caused by an Oil Rig accident in the Gulf of Mexico, why shouldn't the NFL Owners and Players be forced to pay for the economic disaster they are arguing to cause?

Show Us Bloggers Some TLC – Tweet, Like, and Comment

I was doing research for my Basics of Blogging webinar, and I ran across some pretty interesting stuff. One such thing was Showing TLC to other bloggers – TLC standing for tweet, like and comment. What a great analogy from Janine Ripper – don’t think she coined it, but it’s the first place I saw it, and I love it!

If you have capital gain and charitable contributions, you are paying to much tax!

I just found this blog on smaller indiana so I thought to share one of my favorite tax tips to see how the SI blog works. 

 

This is really very simple.  Lets say you give $3,000 per year to your church and you have $3,000 of stock that you paid $2,000 giving you a $1,000 unrealized gain, (it is realized as soon as you sell it.)  If you were to sell your stock for $3,000, you would have a $1,000 gain subject to a 15% federal income tax, and an Indiana 5% (for simplicity) income…
