Not all of what I do for a living involves crunching numbers.

Time to mail off some quarterly payroll reports before the October 31 deadline.

Perks of self employment.

I had an opportunity to meet a couple of bankers who dropped by today unannounced with a get to know you gift.

Thanks to attending a networking meeting for the last 20 years…maybe slightly longer I was able to chat without feeling tongue tied.

You can still make out my red stapler (remember the movie Office Space?).

I get solicited often. That’s to be expected for operating a long standing business.

What always surprises me is the solicitations I receive around major tax deadlines.

Know when to time a call for the industry you are attempting to generate a sale from. It’ll translate to a higher close percentage.

What’s it like running a small business?

You can go from zero calls for a few hours to 7 calls in a span of half an hour. TV shows and movies don’t show things like that.

Are you in tax trouble with IRS? Maybe you know someone in trouble. There are ways to repay. Don’t have the money? There is a way to freeze IRS from taking further action for a year to give you time to improve your ability to pay them back. Call me if you or someone you know needs help.

There was a time I was team mechanical pencil. As I get older I become more drawn to the things of my youth. There’s something comforting about placing a new pencil in my pencil sharpener then putting it to work.

Imagine being in an industry which has easy to identify major tax deadline dates. Now imagine operating a business which services those same businesses. Now imagine the thought process of contacting industry businesses on their major deadline dates to solicit them to perhaps buy something from them.

I tell those solicitors it’s really foolish to call on major tax deadlines. If they are trying to sell to me then choosing the deadline dates is a really bad idea and has a lower chance to close new business.

It happens literally every year. Ugh!

Branding…not like for a cow but for a business. I bought some T-shirts years ago but haven’t worn.

If you put your business name on a tshirt then it’s deductible as a business expense.

I thought about a ton of designs then made my choices. Here’s the one I’ll be modeling today.

It’s been decades since I modeled clothes and it was only once for my high school’s fashion show.

Contacting tax agencies on behalf of clients has changed over the decades I’ve been practicing. I used to be able to contact a tax agency representative within a couple of minutes of dialing their number. Now, depending on the tax agency, it can take 15 minutes to over 4 hours.

These days, I can receive a recording asking me to call back due to the high number of calls.

What’s it like trying to reach IRS by phone? It’s kind of like dialing in multiple times to win a radio contest…except my prize is being able to reach a person on the other end of the call.
