It's How Much You KEEP That Counts!

Daniel Stoica, Accounting Consultant, helps you explore and discover your passion and turn it into a successful business, as this is his passion. "Minimizing your tax liability and maximizing your net worth at the same time by providing you with professional accounting and tax preparation services" is his profession. He goes beyond his own expertise and uses the resources of his professional network to meet the needs of his clients. He is incredibly passionate about helping others.

I have to tell you, bookkeeping, accounting, and taxes and the like are not the most exciting topics, but when you don't have a seasoned professional like Daniel on your side, you can really lose your shirt - or more!

Sometimes, it is not about how much you earn, but how much you keep that counts.

In the Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 podcast I did with Daniel, here are some of the topics we discussed:

• Where you should be spending your hard-earned dollars
• What you should not be spending money on
• What the best business structure is for your business
• How taxes can really add up depending on the nature of your business
• Some of the the deductions that home-based entrepreneurs qualify for
• And a lot more!

This was a general accounting overview and Daniel has agreed to visit with us again to focus on specific aspects of accounting and taxes to optimize your profits.

Let's Get Ready to Pop & Roll!

*The above CD cover design was done by Arsenio Echevarria

Louis Valore is the creator of what he calls Pop & Roll music. He is a veteran musician in and has been playing gigs around NYC for some time now. He has been on the cusp of big deals twice. Not once, but twice. Both times the untimely death of an agent and of one of his band members sunk the record deals that were about to be finalized.

Through the fire and disappointment, Louis has stayed the course is still going for his dream. We can all learn from him. He is laser focused and he loves what he is doing.

Louis and I work together at a major international law firm based in Lower Manhattan. You know, you never know who is who unless you ask people about what they do or, if you are so bold, to tell others what you do. Louis and I got to talking one day and we figured that we have the synergy to help each other out. It doesn't stop with me and Louis, though. There are other "grassroots entrepreneurs" at my office like Frank Perry, Michelle Nedd, Hector Pagan, Ranisha Morales, and the gentleman who did the CD cover design pictured above, Arsenio Echevarria.

Here is the 30-minute feature interview called "For the Love of Music" that I did with Louis Valore on Monday, November 9th, 2009 @ 12:00pm EDT.



Louis is available for gigs at clubs and private events. His phone number is 917.538.5220 and his website (where his schedule is posted) is @ www.LouisValore.com.

People, Pop & Roll, and rock on...

Fix your roof when the sun is shining

I met Stow, Ohio-based (FYI, Stow, OH is between Akron and Cleveland) Mike Sheehan on a BlitzTime event, and he really struck me as a definite cut above most insurance agents that I've met. Life insurance is not the sexiest thing to talk about, but Mike is extremely passionate about what he does. If the average entrepreneur or sales professional had a ounce of the enthusiasm that Mike Sheehan does, they would go a very, very long way.

Insurance is a very competitive, crowded industry. Some would even say that life insurance is a vanilla product. However, someone like Mike Sheehan will show you what is the best solution for you so in effect, he adds hot caramel, nuts, whip cream, and cherries to your insurance!

What I like most about Mike Sheehan is that he has very successfully used high tech tools like video email, social media, his website, face-to-face, and the speed networking over the phone to grow his business.

Check out this podcast from Friday, October 16th, 2009.



Make sure to visit Mike's website at www.YourInsurance411.com. Even though he is based in Ohio, with the power of the Internet he can help you no matter where you are in the USA.

Remember, it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Sales Stretegies for Introverts (and extroverts that don't like to sell)

On Wednesday, October 14th, 2009, I had the extreme pleasure of interviewing America's #1 Sales Coach for Introverts (and Extroverts who don't like to sell), Patricia Weber, and it was an eye-opening experience.

I first met Pat on a BlitzTime event a few months ago and I've been trying to get her to do a podcast for a good while now. Well, when you're good you're good and she IS good and very hard to catch.

Here are some of the things that jumped out at me during the interview:

• People do not know how to network


• Networking can be fun, it depends on the kind of group you join. For instance, Pat does a lot of networking with her exotic car pals


• Social media is NOT a replacement for face-to-face networking - especially in you're a network marketer or a personal services provider (e.g., chiropractor, bookkeeper, etc.)


• Use LinkedIn to display your work history and to develop professional credibility; use Twitter share information; use Facebook to let people take a peek into your personal world; and use BlitzTime to "put the rubber on the road

With the tough times that our economy is going through, Pat mentioned that it is so important for people to learn how to market, sell, and how to network. She really broke-down what the difference between marketing and selling is, and how to do them both effectively.

This was probably one of the best interviews that I've had on the show to date, so make sure that you give it a listen. Just click on the player below to listen to the interview.
