Do you need two iPhones?

What’s the difference between the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus?

You will never know the difference it will make for your business unless you take the risk. Is it worth the investment? There’s a sure fire way to tell. Invest the money and find out.

i do know two things about how i like to run my business:

  1. i dislike carrying things
  2. The iPhone 6s is on the small side

The third thing is that both phones fit in a pocket. Not even the iPad mini does that.

One more thing, one is a phone, one is a (small and mighty) computer.

Crazy ideas are a dime a dozen.

i’ll take a nickel’s worth.

Five minutes ago the school official said the lower right advertising banner spot is available. Asked him to hold it.

What business expenses are deductible?

IRS tax deduction explanation
2015 was the first year with speaking revenue.

 

How long does it take to start a business?

Personally, it took six years of spending (on average $1,000/month) without making a dime. In year seven (2015) i finally made my first dime.

i told my tax professional i have carried a deep fear the IRS would tell me, “You have been deducting expenses for six years without any income. Is this a hobby or a business?”

In year seven, 2015, i was blessed to not only have income, but have enough income that removed any doubt whether it’s a hobby or a business.

To be deductible, a business expense must be both ordinary and necessary. An ordinary expense is one that is one that is common and accepted in your field of business.

A necessary expense is one that is helpful and appropriate for your business. An expense does not have to be indispensable to be considered necessary.

Text message screen shot
Yesterday, it took nine hours from our home door to the hotel door.

 

It’s challenging to be decently organized in today’s crazy busy world.

Last night a text excerpt , bottom right, to my wife Cheryl:

I do not miss traveling.

A simple trip to Indiana took nine hours door to door.
