Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 Part 2

  • Posted on January 25, 2011 at 6:05 pm

Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 Part 2Continuation Part 2 – ‘Small Business Jobs Act of 2010′

Health Care Insurance

Another feature of this bill includes the ability to deduct the cost of HEALTH CARE INSURANCE for the Self Employed person and his/her family…as an Ordinary and Necessary BUSINESS EXPENSE…for Tax Year ending 12/31/2010.

So…IF you had $10,000 of Start up Costs and $7,500.00 of Health Insurance Costs…you are likely eligible for a $17,500.00 “expense” on just TWO lines of the Schedule C! If you are in the 35% Tax Bracket this year, this “deduction” would save you over SIX THOUSAND BUCKS IN TAXES!

Remember…EVEN IF you had not a DIME of “income” from your business this year (and only had the $17,500.00 worth of expenses!), you can still use the deduction to offset the TAXABLE PORTION of your income from ALL OTHER SOURCES…INCLUDING W-2 income, Interest Income, Partnership or Dividend Income Net Rental Income, Unemployment Income, and/or taxable Social Security Income! Virtually ANY other taxable income!

Moreover…don’t forget that ALL expenses related to the ON-GOING operating OF the business are deductible as well.

Please talk with your tax person. Don’t miss these very important and valuable Business Deductions.

Now that you have the all the information on the ‘Small Business Jobs Act of 2010‘, you should have a better understanding on how to save yourself some money. If you found this post useful, please ‘Retweet’ it & ‘Share’ it.

Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 Part 1

Due to the economic U.S. situation, many people are pondering starting a home business?? So let me help you out a bit and explain why a person would, of course, WANT to start a home business. In this article blog post I will explain about the benefits of having a home business as it relates to your taxes via the  New Small Business Jobs Act 2010 That Puts More Capital in the Hands of Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners…


Small Business Jobs Act of 2010

A. September 27, 2010

On this date, President Obama signed a package of enhanced business tax incentives into law, as part of a larger Small Business Jobs Act of 2010. ONE of the things it allows is that START UP COSTS…up to $10,000.00 can be EXPENSED 100% for new businesses that ‘started’ in 2010!

Generally Start Up Costs are expenses one incurs BEFORE actually opening the doors of a new business!

Maybe you hooked up w/a new nutritional products business and encountered a BUNCH of expenses BEFORE you actually STARTED “WORKING” the business…as a “business”! Stuff you did to “get ready to roll”!

Maybe you just signed up this month! And are in the process of preparing to attack the market full bore after the 1st of the January!

Startup expenses are things associated with setting up your business. Among the items that count as startup expenses:

o        Paying for consultants & other Professional Fees (Someone to Help Set Up Records, coach you on tax issues related to small business, etc)

o        Initial “Sign Up” Fees

o        Buying initial supplies (Including, but not limited to Extra Product {to use as Samples, Displays, Promotional Gifts}, Starter Packs, Ad Packs, Additional MAP-Books, Branded Apparel, and other Marketing Tools)

o        Advertising materials for your new business (Business Cards & Stationery)

o        Paying employees before the business opens (Even the KIDS)

o        Office Expenses (Furniture, Computer/Printer-Fax-Scanner along with supplies for them, Laptop, Internet connection, Decorating/Remodeling the “new” office, New Digital Overhead Projector & Accessories, Subscriptions to “Virtual” online services related to your business, etc)

o        New Cell Phones

o        Signage for the vehicles

o        Seminars and Workshops attended BEFORE you “signed up”, INCLUDING travel to and from them. (Mileage, Air Fares, Taxi Fees, etc.)

You can “plug” the TOTAL of ALL these Costs in as “Initial Startup Costs” on the “Other Deductions” portion of your Schedule C Tax Form!

In Part 2, I will explain about the benefits of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 as it relates to Health Care Insurance.

Blog Etiquette

  • Posted on January 3, 2011 at 4:02 pm

Blog EtiquetteIn this article blog post I’m going to try to explain about some of the unspoken and spoken rules of blogging and commenting on blogs, or better known as ‘blog etiquette’.

I know that many people out there have blogs, or like to read and comment on blogs. And that many of you may be very good at what you do. But I’m going to talk to those of you that are not that good, have learned from the wrong people or wrong software trainings, and/or those of you who may just be ignorant to blog etiquette. Now understand that when I say ignorant, I do not mean dumb or stupid. I mean, lacking the proper knowledge or information, to make the correct decision.

First, let me discuss commenting on blogs. Commenting on blogs is a great way to connect with people and to create back links to your own sites. But when you are leaving a comment you need to use your real name, and not a title to a blog or what you are trying to sell. besides, you should be trying to sell yourself and not your product.

So if your name is Suzy Que then you need to use Suzy Que. And if your name is Joe Blow, then you need to use Joe Blow as your name. You should NEVER use names like; Male Enhancement, Government Grants, Sex Videos, Blogging Software, or any other title that is not your name. I think that you get my point.

Many blog are set up so that you have to enter your website link before the body of the comment, that will lead people and back-links to your product and/or website. There are many times that I would like to approve people’s comments, and I did at first, but cannot because their name is not there proper name. So I am no longer approving comments where people have not used their real or proper name.

Another thing I’d like to point out, is to be sure that the comment makes sense to the topic/post that you are commenting about. I can always tell when someone is doing a copy & paste with their blog comment or is using a software to make dozens upon dozens of comment posts because they are all the same or make no sense.

For example if I get comments on my ‘About’ page (which I blocked now), that state how this content really helped them to build their business or take it to the next level,…then I know that it was done by a software tool, or it was posted without reading because it makes no sense. Plus if the comment was posted by some software tool, then I will probably get 10-200 of the exact same comments. And yes, I have gotten 250+ comments in 1 day, all saying the same thing.

Lastly, I’d like to talk about using links, or hyperlinks in the body of your blog comment. NEVER DO IT!! If you do, your comments will never get approved by top bloggers and you have just wasted your time and efforts. Your comments will just be deleted! Besides that is not personable and you cannot build relationships that way.

I know that this only covered a few blog etiquette’s, but I hope this helps you better understand what to do, and what not to do when commenting on blogs. If this article blog post has helped you, please ‘Retweet’ it or ‘Share’ it on Facebook.

Frank Kern’s 3 Magic Bullets Of Money-Getting

  • Posted on October 5, 2010 at 8:07 pm

Frank Kerns 3 Magic Bullets Of Money GettingI came across a blog post tonight (Ty Tribble) that talked about Frank Kern’s PDF – The Three Magic Bullets Of Money-Getting. Yes, you read that right…Money-Getting. I’ll briefly explain what He means by Money-Getting in this article post below.

Now if your any kind of a true Internet Marketer then you inevitably know who Frank Kern is. If not, well let me just say that he is a top earner in the industry and that he has a no bullshit kinda of mentality. Which is why I probably like him so much myself. With that said, let’s move on to the point of this post…
Now many Internet Marketers are busy doing busy work and not productive work. What do I mean by busy work? Well basically it’s work that doesn’t make you money.
Think about what you do throughout your day on a daily basis for your network marketing or MLM business? Now think about how much of that activity does not ‘show you the money’?

Hmmmmm…Let me explain it a bit differently.

For Example:

- Idol chit chat with other Internet Marketers and friends on Facebook and Twitter

- Watching videos on YouTube (not training videos)

- Making inspirational and motivational posts on social media daily

These do NOT show you the money!

So what should you be doing to make more money in your business? Frank simplifies three things for you.
Frank Kern’s 3 Magic Bullets Of Money-Getting:

  1. Get More Customers
  2. Sell More Stuff To Existing Customers
  3. Increase Frequency Of Purchase

So how do you apply these 3 magic bullets in your business? Simple if you actually use some common sense and think about it for a second…

  • You get more customers and distributors
  • You help you team members get more customers and distributors (rinse and repeat)

You call the people on your optins or any other list you have on a daily basis. You are not a sales person, but a recruiter looking for serious people that are looking to make a change in the quality of their life. You tell people about any products or programs that you have that can help them or any products or programs that your friends may have that can help them. After all this is a network marketing business of people helping people and that is how you grow your team.

There is a saying that successful Internet Marketers say…
“If you help enough people get what they want, you will get what you want.”
Remember YOUR time is valuable, so spend it actually making money. If you would like a free copy of Frank Kern’s PDF click here.

A Winning Team!

  • Posted on September 21, 2010 at 8:51 pm

A Winning Team!Many people have been in the network marketing industry for years, whether online or off-line. But most have never been on a winning team. How many people have you talked to that said that they had been in so many network marketing companies or MLM’s that failed? What is a winning team and why would you want to be on a winning team? I will explain about what a winning team is and why you would want to be on one, in this article post.
I know many people say they have the ‘best team’ in the industry or “theirs” is better.  You hear it all the time in this industry.  But with experience, comes the ability to cut through all that Internet noise and crap, whether it’s in the form of a video, or shows up as spam in your e-mail.
First let’s discuss what a winning team is.  A winning team has leaders on it that are successful and have the proof to back it up, by way of the number of recruits and their generated take-home monies.  A winning team’s leaders have mastered the art of recruiting, and have taught their people below them how to master the same task.  A winning team has many, many successful people on it, not just 1 or 2 successful people at the top.

A winning team works together to accomplish each other’s goals, and reaching success for all involved.  They train every new recruit along with their entire team on the methods, techniques and strategies used to be successful in their network marketing business.  You can sense the cohesiveness and excitement within a successful winning team.  No one forgets where they have come from, and they all help each other to reach success for the entire team.
Why would you want to be on a winning team?  Well, for the obvious reason of course… to be successful! You will know that if you are on, or just join a winning team that all these needs and goals will be met;

  • Training
  • Guidance
  • Mentoring
  • Team Support
  • Help with Any Struggles Along the Way
  • Coaching You to Success
  • Teaching You How to Do The Same for Other New Members
  • Team Cohesiveness And Working Together Like You’ve Never Seen Before
  • All of Which Gives SUCCESS to All Involved

I have been fortunate enough to come across four of these teams in the past year, all within a couple of months of each other, BUT especially one in particular.
If you want to see what a winning team leader looks like after massive success, take a look at a guy who is a ‘nut’ and has gone ‘bananas’… David Wood.

I hope this article post has helped you in some way. Please feel free to Retweet it or share this article post, and please feel free to leave a comment.

Live The Dream Event – Don’t Miss This!!

  • Posted on September 14, 2010 at 12:51 pm

Live The Dream Event – Don’t Miss This!!

The “Live the Dream Event” being held in Las Vegas on October 2 and 3rd, is the largest International gathering of the Top Internet Marketing Leaders in the Industry. In This article I will explain what you can expect and what you will experience at the “Live the Dream” Event on Oct 2nd and 3rd.

What is the “Live the Dream” Event all about anyways? It is an international gathering of the Top Online Network Marketers and Leaders in the Industry. These leaders will take turns speaking over the period of a couple of days teaching you extremely valuable and informative tips, tactics, and strategies that they personally use to be successful. They will guide you and inform you of what is working now and what is not online.  They will give away valuable precious nuggets of information and insider secrets that you will not get anywhere else. People pay thousands for this kind of information that you can get for just a couple/few hundred.

Events are where the magic happens.  Just ask anyone who’s getting the type of results that YOU desire in your business.  Events are absolutely critical to the success of your enterprise, which is why the “Live the Dream” event slated for October 2nd & 3rd in Las Vegas isn’t really an option if you’re serious about success,…it’s essential!

If you’re not making at least 5-figures a month with your business, you need to be present at this event, period.  NO EXCUSES!

So who will be some of the speakers? Well, Top Leaders like Mike Dillard, Todd Falcone, Nicole Cooper, Daegan Smith, David Wood, MJ Durkin, Cedrick Harris, Tracey Walker, and more!

Why you can’t afford to miss the “Live the Dream” Event? You will make contacts; connections and friendships that will not only last for years to come, but will greatly boost your Success and Income online.  Imagine what it could do for your future success if you were seen in pictures and video with top leaders in the industry?  How much more credibility will you have acquired when top leaders are giving video testimonies about you.  Think just how many insider secrets you could learn or how many future mentors you could meet and connect with at an event like this?

This will be an incredible 2-day training that you simply can NOT afford to miss because it has the potential to catapult your business to $6-figures+ in 2011!

The amount of knowledge present in the same room would be phenomenal.  There has never been an international gathering of all these top industry leaders, in one place, at one time, ever!  People pay $5,000-$20,000 for an event like this and still take away less than half of what you will take away at the “Live the Dream” Event October 2 and 3rd.

This is why you need to get your tickets NOW for this event.  For more information click…“Live the Dream” Event.

The How and Why of Prospecting

  • Posted on September 1, 2010 at 3:50 am

The How and Why of ProspectingIf you are a network marketer, whether online or offline, there will come a point and time when you will need to pick up the phone to call and talk to your prospects. It is at this very point where most network marketers fail.

They fail either because they have no idea of what to say and do once they get a prospect on the phone, or because they will not even pick up the phone in the first place. Why is this?

Many network marketers have an over-whelming ‘fear’ of the phone. It is because of this ‘fear’ that many network marketers do not even attempt to pick up the phone in the first place.

  • A fear  of saying the wrong thing
  • A fear of rejection
  • A fear of making a mistake and looking like a fool in the eyes of the prospect

The funny part is, that the prospect more than likely has no idea how to prospect themselves,  so therefore had no idea that a mistake was even made. Besides if you think about it…your on a phone,  not face to face. So it’s not likely the prospect’s ever going to see you again.

You see it’s our fears that hold us back from becoming better, and becoming all we can be. It all started when you were little. Getting picked on by siblings or playmates, and continued all the way through our school years. But it is those who rise above their fears and face them head on,  bettering themselves, that become the winners in life and in business.

So why do prospecting in the first place? Is it to torture us network marketers? No, you need to do it because it is the life blood of your business! And without prospecting, your businesses would not grow and you would not make any money. And after all, isn’t that why you chose to do network marketing and working from home in the first place? So you could make money?

So no matter what your reason is, if you do not pick up the phone and talk to prospects,  your business will fail and die. How do you learn the proper techniques of prospecting? Here is a great starting point. In ‘The Little Black Book of Scripts’ you will receive hours of prospect training that teaches you the proper techniques and strategies used by top leaders in the industry. Study it, learn it, practice it, and do it. Rinse and repeat. There is no short cut to success!

“If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.”  ~ (Robert H Schuller)

I hope this helped you to take one more step towards success in your network marketing business.
