Tax

This is like a makeup session. This is short and sweet. When you start a business you will need to pay taxes. If you sell something you will need to pay more taxes. If you live in a state with crazy laws then you may need to pay not only federal and state but county and I mean this can be monthly. I recommend at least knowing an accountant, one you can call with questions. I am very fortunate to know a wonderful person who really explains to me (not making me feel stupid) what needs to be done. Find your great person. I guess this is a topic that scares me most anyways. You can not avoid paying taxes, you can not avoid the government. Learn it and then do it. I am still learning but when I find out more I will fill you in.



Another point, get yourself a good of great finance program. I use Quicken for my personal and Quickbooks for the business. I may convert the Quicken to Quickbooks but…. Not right now. I have been using Quicken for years and swear by it. I never would have anything without that program. I have thought so may how to use it and I would defiantly recommend it to everyone personally or for a business.



Ok, overall, learn, learn, learn and keep on learning, never let yourself not know where you stand financially. It may not be a good picture, but it is a picture. A picture that you can alter overtime to make into a great work of art!
