Remember, you can be as creative as you desire on your tax statement but you need to be ready to justify/defend your deductions in the event of an audit. If you want online info, go to www.TaxReductionInstitute.com. I have called to see when the next class in the New Orleans area will be and will post the information when received.

AL E. GATOR. This is an excerpt from Bob Burg’s new book Go-Givers Sell More – an outstanding read. “At Marie Jakubiak’s accounting firm in Michigan, new clients are not simply greeted by name the first time they walk into the office: they are also greeted by a sign that says, “Welcome to our new client, Mary Jones!” with their name surrounded by fresh flowers.” We use to put up welcome signs on the alligator in the front office every time we had a customer coming into the office. Customers were typically very impressed. I think it is something we need to do once again. This takes only a few seconds to create. It works every time it is tried, so why did we stop doing it?
