    Success Delusion
    People will do something—including changing their behavior—only if it can be demonstrated that doing so is in their own best interests as defined by their own values.All of us delude ourselves about our achievements, status, and contributions. We overestimate our contribution, and take credit for successes that belong to others. We have an elevated opinion of our skills and our standing among our peers. We ignore our costly failur

    Time Management - Making the Most out of a Limited Resource
    More than a few dozen times, people say to me, 'I don't know how you fit it all in!' Sometimes even "I" don't know how I fit it all in, to be honest. However, not only did I realize early that if I wanted to accomplish the things in my life 'to do' list, I'd better take control of my time. I have learned that time management is a huge issue with many of my clients. So, to help with this common problem, below are some tips to at least get
    Simply put, a vision statement allows others to know what your vision for your company is. Where do you want your company to go? What is your company’s ultimate goal? To help put together your vision statement take the time to close your eyes and think about what your company will look like in 5 years. The picture you have created is your vision and will work towards developing your vision statement.

    When asked by others what your vision statement is, are you providing them with an answer that truly allows them to envision that picture you are working to create? Will that picture tell them where you ultimately are headed with your business?

    Keep in mind that how you word your statement can mean the difference between excitement and pure boredom on the part of your potential clients, investors and others that will aid you in reaching your vision. Since our clients buy based on emotions, which emotion (excitement or boredom) is more likely to have them “chomping at the bit” for your product or service? In the same respect, we also need to excite potential investors to aid us in reaching our vision. Although investors try to remain impartial and look at the facts before investing, the ability to create excitement could be the missing ingredient required to entice them to invest with your company.

    To demonstrate the power of emotion, let’s look at an example of a simple vision statement:

    ABC Virtual Assistants provides administrative support with the goal of educating others to increase their client base.

    Yes, this is a vision statement because it clearly states where ABC Virtual Assistants are headed, but do you really care? Has this statement excited you to the point of wanting to jump on board with them and assist them to reach this vision? Have they created a picture for you so you can see clearly how they will do this? Can you envision their ultimate goals? Most likely the feeling evoked by this statement is “Who Cares”. This I am sure is not the reaction we are looking for from potential clients and investors.

    Let’s take another look at that vision statement, but this time let’s ensure there is an emotional component to the statement:

    As pioneers of the new age of Virtual Assistants, it is hoped that someday soon people will be asking “Who is your Virtual Assistant?” as opposed to “What is a Virtual Assistant?” ABC Virtual Assistants hope to accomplish this by educating others through seminars and speaking engagements and by providing exemplary administrative services to their clients. We will work until the term Virtual Assistant is a household term.

    Which statement has allowed you to see a picture and truly envision the future for the company? Which company do you think will be more successful in reaching their goals?

    The next time you are putting together a vision statement for your company or sharing your goals with others helping you to create a thriving business, remember to ALWAYS include an emotional component to that statement.

    S Corporation - A Federal Tax Hybrid Entity
    As a legal entity, the S corporation has changed significantly since it was first created by Congress in 1958. Not least of the changes happened to its name: it once was known by its legalese name, “Subchapter S corporation,” but became the more upbeat S corporation after the Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 was passed.The S corporation is favored by investors because it affords them the best of both worlds: S corporations offer
