a lack of will.

Note From Courtney!

Dear Thirtyonederfuls!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Our November celebration newsletter is just in time for the holidays!
Over the next few weeks, I hope you cherish the time with your loved ones. This
truly is the
season to
celebrate and
gather and count
our many
blessings! I love
December for so
many reasons,
including
Christmas trees,
sparkly lights,
baked goods,
mistletoe, holiday
parties but
especially for the
celebration of
Jesus' birth!
As you celebrate
and gather this
month, there is no greater JOY than that which we find in Christ Jesus. I pray for
each of you- a special blessing of overwhelming peace, abundant love, presence of
hope and abounding joy!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Courtney

10 Tips For Organizing Your Small Business This Year

Purge Your Oce
Even if you dont mind a little mess and dust, too much clutter can add to daily stress and chaos. With the
new year, toss out whatever is outdated, no longer relevant or a duplicate. Donate anything you dont
need or use.
Organize Your Paper Files
One study found that the average person wastes over 4 hours per week searching for papers. Go through
your filing cabinets and shred anything thats out of date or no longer relevant to your business. Scan
originals and throw out the paper files to make more room.
Ditch Paper Receipts
Considering the IRS accepts electronic copies of receipts, theres really no reason for you to continue
hanging on to all those tiny paper slips. Find a receipt management scanner or app (such as Neat Receipts)
and make sure your solution lets you export data to whatever expense reporting/accounting app you use.
Use the Cloud for Storage and Sharing
If you havent done so already, start using cloud-based tools to share and save documents. For example,
Google Drive lets you store up to 15GB for free, while giving clients or colleagues access to collaborate.
Other tools include Dropbox and Box.
Tame Your Inbox
If your email inbox has become a catchall for every email youve received over the past years, its time to
clean house. Unsubscribe to newsletters or other subscriptions you no longer read. Create specific folders
where non-essential emails go automatically, so they dont interrupt your daily flow.
Get the Right Note-Taking Tool
One key to staying organized and eective as a small business owner is having the right solution for jotting
down any tasks or inspirations when they strike. Whether you prefer to use pen and paper, voice recording
on your smartphone or an app like Evernote, the most important thing is that the solution fits into your
lifestyle so youll use it consistently.
Tidy Up Your Social Media Profiles
First, take stock of where your business has a social presence and drop any accounts that are no longer in
use. Theres no point in having multiple profiles if youre not actively posting and monitoring each
account.
Meet with a Tax Advisor
Dont wait until its time to file your returns to start thinking about taxes. Make an appointment with a
CPA or tax advisor early in the year. If your business is still structured as a sole proprietor, nows the time
to think about protecting your personal assets and gaining other benefits through a formal business
structure like an LLC or corporation.
Take Charge of Your Books
If you run a small business, you already have some kind of process in place for invoicing, processing
payments, recording expenses and tracking projects. But if you havent updated your process lately, chances
are theres an app out there to help make these administrative tasks easier and more ecient. For example,
theres FreshBooks, Mint, Kashoo, and InDinero to name a few.
