Are you Horizontal or Vertical?

Are You A Vertical or a Horizontal Thinker? The Way You Think Can Make All the Difference…

Funny the things you remember…

Many many years ago while in college, I learn this concept. And it has stuck with me all these years.

My professor asked, “Are you a vertical or horizontal thinker?”

Huh????

Let me explain what each is…..then you can decide.

Vertical Thinkers

A vertical thinker thinks of business — and life for that matter — as a ladder you climb. There is only room for one at the top. In order to get to the top, you have to climb over others and push others down.

If you are a vertical thinker, back biting and back stabbing are common. Pointing blame at others, filing lawsuits to bring others down, and making yourself look good at other’s expense are the norm.

Just recently it was election time. The mud slinging was rampant….a sure sign of vertical thinking.

Me. Me. Me. I must make it to the top. That’s all that is important.

Horizontal Thinkers

Horizontal thinkers on the other hand see the world as a vast space where everyone can be at the top together. Everyone can grab hands and reach the summit, helping one person along here and another person along there. The important thing is for everyone to make it to the top.

Everyone helps everyone.

How do YOU think?

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!
