Understanding all the dynamics of what actually happens and what filing a federal return to the IRS is and does.Getting the most out of your return is more than the refund. Future plans should influence the best way to file in the present. For example: Taxpayer wants to buy a home. They have enough deductions and qualified expenses to be in the ideal tax bracket that would produce the most credits legally available, but taking advantage of them would put them at a disadvantage based on their loan requirements. Think before you file. Or just call The Family and we'll do it for you! Family First Tax Services ...read more

Hello my fellow merchants. It's been a while for me blogging since the birth of my daughter last year. She is amazing to me. Since I can't take my mind off her, I might as well use that as a positive and write this blog. Raising and Growing are two different things. During the next few years she will definitely be growing; even if it was only waking up, eating and going to sleep! (I wish sometimes) But how I raise her during this growth cycle will directly affect the life she can sustain and attain. The way I show her love and she feels and how I respond to her feelings all matter.  So I ask you: "What's the difference between raising a child and growing a business?" Surprisingly the answer could be: Nothing.  Raising a business vs growing a business: Plenty.  If there lies a demand for your product or service and you're accessible, you can successfully make sales. The experience, delivery, and follow up can make the most. Volume doesn't dictate value. These days customer retention is as important if not more than customer acquisition; at least for existing businesses.  Now when raising a business you have values and beliefs integrated into and initiating the process. Best practices are not lucked at as rules but the culture. Expectations can be set. Progress can be tracked and improved. Problems can be prevented or calculated.  Growing should be a by-product of raising your business right. Eventually you want your baby business to become an adult. Some existing businesses need to act like adults. Regardless, reaching maturity is a common goal.  So, Are you raising your business or just growing it? Or at least trying to do one or the other. Give me any cool parenting tips that also apply to business. D. Strode ...read more

Greetings fellow Merchants, Subscribers, and Friends! Here I'd like to give you another excerpt from Preparing for WINTER Online.  Winter stands for What I Need To Expect Results. Today we'll talk about snow. Depending on which part of the hemisphere your from or in, you may have never experienced snow. Now on the other hand, in this cold internet marketing world, the streets of traffic may sometimes be filled with SNOW. (Something No One Wants) Have you ever tried a million different searches on your favorite search engine or website only to find a sales page, or affiliate offer that doesn't even help you with your problem. Well, I have; several occasions. For this reason alone, Google often switches it's algorithms, which are the equations used to determine ranking, results, and authority. At the end of the day, believe it or else, Google is a service. If they can't find what you need based on how you search; then they have lost their value. This really goes for any site.  Now, to give you the opposite perspective, you want your sales page or lead capture to do this, however, the way you go about doing it makes all the difference. Many times where raw info is needed, an opt-in page, landing page, squeeze page, lead capture page or whatever you like to call your page that welcomes permission marketing.  Permission marketing is basically sending desired information to those whom have requested it. Ex: Put in your name and email, then immediately receive your free download! You are giving them permission to contact you Back to SNOW. Something No One Wants is to wait longer than they have to, getting redirected instead of straight to it, or not having all the information needed.  An example of each.   A video that takes forever to load or an article you read all the way through only to need to check out additional information. Too many OTO's oronetimeoffers. Well how about this? Well how about that? What about ____? Effectively used, a one time offer is essential after a sale and a great CTA Call to Action Page if the visitor is leaving the website or check out. (A good time to demonstrate TRUE VALUE.) You took all the steps and haven't gotten the results or information/understanding you needed. Let's look at another angle: You're driving traffic and getting clicks; yet still no sales.  Do you have the best product or service? If so, do people see why they should feel the same; when they visit? I came to your website for this, but you keep showing me that. Give what they want (value), you will get what you need. (what you value/expected result) What's blocking your street off? ...read more

Greetings. Let's jump right in it! Everyone should know ROI means Return on Investment.  ROT is word but for this lesson, ROT is Return on Time. (hopefully it's not rotting away) As a Nashville consultant, consulting marketing solutions usually depends on one of these two variables; which are sometimes made constants.  For ROI let's say: How much I put in vs how much I get out. For ROT let's say: How much I put in vs how much I get away from it! See money is money and resources can be a variety of things, but when those overlap and become one of the same with time; we have a situation. A person may earn let's say 6 figures annually. Financially things could be good, however, if the the maintenance for financial consistency requires sixty+ hours, when can one enjoy it. My brother explained this to me years ago with a simple phrase: "You see Strode, Money coming in, Money going out...That's what it's about!  VERY TRUE. Ex: If you make 10K a month but your overhead is 9K you're just a 1,000 dollars away from trouble; every month! If you make 3K but your overhead is 1500 you're probably getting ahead as opposed of just getting by; probably. Turnkey Tip to remember: Time is something most want and less have. If your business product or service can save time; chances are they've just saved money. See, the baby's first step or recital cannot be re experienced for the first time. Efficiency is the universal solution for this global circumstance. Making more from less has to be a mindset; not a meager mentality. Didn't say find the cheapest way and see the most you can make!  Never sacrifice quality or integrity in the process. What is sucking away your time or sucking out your profit?
