Bishoff + Associates, PLLC

Just got back from a awesome Kickstart program in New York that I attended with Lynn Henault. My Team and I are going to be making changes in how we do what we do and how we service our clients. Pro-Active Business Advisory services will be at the fore front of what we do in the near future. It will take a little time time to roll out. But if you have a small business that you are not happy with the results we will be able to help you in a big way!! Stay tuned.....

While we're not as busy with tax returns in this "off-season", we have been investing ourselves in continuing education so that we can take advantage of every available (and ethical) tax move on behalf of our clients. We're gearing up for what already promises to be a very full final quarter with our client family.

[Since we can't magically see the future, sometimes we have to do the best we can with what we know and see now. We can help you walk the best path for your taxes and will help you do so today and next month and next year. As for the rest of life's decisions...well, if we all give it our best and stay in the game each day, then we're doing well. :) ]

Whether you're trying to stick to a budget, a business plan, a parenting strategy, or your new year's resolution, envision the end result and keep at it!

What do you need to give up in order to get something you want? It's almost always a question of money, but also one that involves time and value. Pursuing an advanced degree may take years -- are you willing to put in that time?

Whatever decision you make about how you are investing your money, apply the same principle to your time. Sometimes it really does pay to invest in a lawncare service so that you can free yourself up to do more "valuable" work on behalf of your family. Do you have other examples to share?

Loving this story...These acts of service seem to be a rare echo of days of the past. What if we all took a few extra minutes out of our day to help someone else? Do you think each of us could change the culture in subtle, small ways?
