Good People

I was having a conversation my mentor tonight and he shared with me his story of how he became successful and the people you meet along your road to success. He worked for an accounting firm and also he worked in a law firm as a law clerk and one of the salesmen noticed his work ethic. The guy was starting his own telephone company and wanted my mentor to come and work for him. He took his offer and they became great friends. Bob the salesman showed him how to sail, how to get his suits Taylor made, introduced him to a whole new side of life. After 6 years together and 27 million dollars later they sold the company to MCI for 71 million and my mentor had 3% ownership in the company. So he made $2,130,000 and decided to go in business for himself as an accounting professional. Today he owns a few properties, owns a day care and still has his accounting practice and more. I am on my road to success and now he has opened the door for me to learn from him and build my business. With such an amazing history it was good for me to hear about his struggles too. I am glad to know him and appreciate how he has mentored me during my time of transition. It's a blessing to meet good people that come into your life to help you grow as a person or help boost you to the next level. It's not many business owners out here that are reaching back and I am so thankful that I have been given an opportunity to take my passion to the next level. I hope this will inspire you to reach back or lend a helping hand.

It may even determine if you must file a tax return. Keep in mind that your marital status on Dec. 31 is your status for the whole year. Sometimes more than one filing status may apply to you. If that happens, choose the one that allows you to pay the least amount of tax. 1. Single. This status  normally applies if you aren’t married. It applies if you are divorced or legally separated under state law. 2. Married Filing Jointly. If you’re married, you and your spouse can file a joint tax return. If your spouse died in 2015, you can often file a joint return for that year. 3. Married Filing Separately. A married couple can choose to file two separate tax returns. This may benefit you if it results in less tax owed than if you file a joint tax return. You may want to prepare your taxes both w...
