Making copies of customer's checks? Read why you should. |
|
I always recommend making a copy of each check that you process. The reason is should your customer default at any time you now have their bank account information. Once you take a customer/debtor to court and a judgment is awarded in your favor you have the right to levy on your debtor's bank account, with the help of a Marshal or Sheriff. This makes collecting your debt quick and easy. There are of course exemptions and differences in the collection law based on the state your judgment is entered so talk with your collection agency or attorney about the process.
No one likes to add a step to their accounting procedures, it's time consuming enough. However I can assure you this is a very important step should your accounts wind up in collections. |

Can I use a blog or MySpace.com to promote my book?
Special Guest Author, Michelle Dunn |
I had heard of My Space but thought it was a place for teens or kids, the description on their website is "a place for friends". One afternoon I was reading an issue of Entrepreneur and they had a story about a woman who said she had used My Space as a marketing tool for her business. My first thought was "there are business people on My Space?" So I checked it out. I found there were very few business people that were active members, and a lot of teens, younger kids, musicians and people looking to party and meet other people with similar interests. I also saw that they have groups and some do pertain to business while some seem as if they are business related but are "Get Rich Quick" groups. There are groups for anything you can imagine someone might have an interest in. Many for authors grouped by genre. I thought I would try it, since I like to try everything to market myself and my books and it was free! I created my profile page, uploaded my pictures and began browsing the site for other business owners.

| This month's book review |
 "Radical Edge" is a great and easy read. It's chocked full of life lessons for your professional and personal life. Farber uses an array of interesting characters who assist in turning around Cam Summerfield, a top notch salesman who knows nothing about leading his sales team. Steve has been asked to teach Cam about real leadership. Steve is Cam's last hope of saving his job. Throughout the story Cam is asked to process the world in ways that take him out of his comfort zone. Cam ultimately benefits greatly from the guru's in Radical Edge but not without making Steve question his ability to help this young man. I walked away looking at the world and it's possibilities in a brand new way. |
