Top 5 Reasons Company Minutes are Important for Small Business Owners

1. Find More Deductions! – When you follow our memory-jogging questionnaire, you may just find some more deductions you didn’t think about. Be sure to share these with your CPA for maximum savings!
2. Save Your Sanity By Keeping Current! - It is so much harder to catchup than to keep up! When you use our simple online system each month, you actually save yourself time and energy, no need to search back through old documents and bank statements to find what needs to be documented. It will all be fresh in your mind! That’s why we created this system: to Save Small Business Owners Time and Money, while still getting the paperwork done right!
3. To Protect Your Business and Personal Assets in Case of Lawsuit! – the first things and opposing attorney will ask for is business records. If you don’t have any, or you don’t have the correct documents done, forget about saving your personal assets too from scrutiny and the prosecutor. It’s too late!
4. Save Your Deductions from an IRS Audit! – One of the great things about documenting all business decisions and expenses is that you have PROOF. Proof not only that your expenses were really expenses, but that your business is actually running as a business and not just a hobby.
5. Save YOU Time! – This may be similar to #2 , but saving time is so important to a small business owner (it is to me!) that it bears mentioning in its own spot. All you have to do each month is take a few minutes to do your reporting, that’s all you have to do.. and we do the rest! You don’t have to worry about when to hold your Annual Meeting (we do that for you), you don’t have to worry about which form, out of the 600+ to choose or how to correctly word your business actions… We do that for you, too!

Daily Affirmations

We all know we should do our daily affirmations.

This is my favorite example of how it should be done.
At Just A Minute, LLC we do this every morning.

Is Your Annual Meeting Next Month?

Many of you are scheduled to have your annual meeting in May. This is a great opportunity to plan a trip and use it for a tax deduction. (see previous video post.)

Your Annual Meeting is the most important meeting of the year for your company.

But most importantly, it protects you.

The results could be disastrous.

If you are sued your corporate veil could be pierced (even if you have an LLC!). In other words, you could lose the asset protection of your business entity and your personal assets could be in jeopardy.

When should your annual meeting take place?

Look in your company operating agreement or by-laws. It will tell you when your annual meeting should be held.

Just A Minute, LLC takes all the worry from you.

Free up Your Time: Create Systems in Your Business

This business tip is from Patricia Drain . I learned this bit of wisdom from her years ago, and it’s true!

Here’s what Patricia says:

CREATING SYSTEMS IN YOUR BUSINESS WILL FREE UP YOUR TIME

Once you learn how creating systems in your business will make your business flow more easily, then you will have the key to success. Create just ONE system in your business today.

I started systemizing everything — from how the phone was answered, to how meetings would unfold, to how invoices looked when they were mailed out.

Guess what that did for my business?

I didn’t have to “show up” to help the business grow.

I created more value in my business.

In fact, when I sold that business, the buyer said “What made me buy your business over the 20 others I looked at, were the ‘systems’ you created.”
