Who's ready for 2012? I am ready for the new tax season, at H&R Block. I have over 30 hours of continuing education credits this year. I have spent the second half of the summer working "summer service" which means preparing tax returns for those people with extensions, and for those who just never got around to doing it on time. Also helping our clients figure out what the IRS / State / City wants when they send out their letters. Often they disagree with our figures and want more proof of deductions. Sometimes the IRS is right, but usually they are wrong! Cities, too, are after every penny they can get. I think they are just hoping that people will get scared and pay whatever it says to pay on the letter. Scare tactics. Makes me embarrassed to be associated with those agencies.
Speaking of pennies, one way to keep track of holiday spending is through a website called GiftBox. It allows you to add your family members, holidays, gifts purchased, gift ideas, etc. You can quickly tell whether you've spent way more on your favorite child!
Another way to save money is by shopping online and through catalogs. You save time and gas and frustration by staying home. Did you know that you can now shop my Jockey website online? You don't even have to call or email me to get what you want! JP2P makes it easy to find the clothing that flatters your figure, and now it's even easier to purchase. We have some great holiday attire that will wow your friends. We also have deals that come from corporate on their facebook page. Be sure to "like" both my facebook page and my company's. You don't want to miss out on a great deal!! And don't forget to have a happy holiday!!
Ah, finally the Tax Season is over! Now that I am finished preparing taxes for people, I can concentrate on my other job as a Comfort Specialist. I am interested in finding other women like me who want to own their own business. How do I do this? I am going to join some networking groups. Also I try to mention my business during my facebook ramblings. And I suppose I need to get on the phone and call everyone I know! Not exactly my cup of tea, but it needs to be done. Meanwhile I am looking for my next party Hostess (this could be you) so I can meet my current goal of monthly parties. These parties are fun, easy to prepare for, and earn the Hostess free clothes. What could be better? Check out our line of comfortable clothing for women at www.myjockeyp2p.com/lindamustric and start making your wishlist!
Welcome to April - a cruel month to be sure, with Tax Day coming up so quickly! Even though I work part time as a tax professional, my own taxes have not been filed! I am struggling with getting all of my expenses listed from my 2 businesses. Looking at my expenses forces me to face the facts - I am not making as much money as I had hoped! I need to buckle down, get on the phone and contact all the women I know to let them know about the wonderful clothing line from Jockey. With the dismal economy on everyone's mind, it is sometimes difficult to convince people to book a party or to buy some clothes. But... by combining a few key pieces, a woman can mix and match and have several different outfits without spending a lot of money!
