More Than Moving

About 14 years ago, my sister and I had a heart-to-heart talk with our father about moving to a retirement community.  That was the seed for More Than Moving for Seniors (www.MoreThanMoving.com) and Susan’s Selections (www.SusansSelections.com).

I’m Susan Campbell and with my husband, Roy Lambertson, and our staff, we help older adults and their families with the sometimes overwhelming task of sorting through and moving from a family home. We face the equally daunting task of what do with the stuff no one wants or needs.

Light the Night Walk

We’re gearing up for our Light the Night Walk on October 22nd for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! This annual fundraising walk is to pay tribute and bring hope to people  battling cancer.

Hidden Treasures

I had an eventful week last week! We were up every morning around 5:30 a.m. to begin the arduous task of attic diving at our home. We were preparing for the new heating system to be put in. OH MY GOSH!

I cannot believe the treasures we have uncovered. My husband’s baby clothes, a few selected baby clothes from our two children. Various bed frames, chairs with no seats, books, canning jars, weights, a broken handle bar tricycle, window screens for windows we have replaced, and our son’s VMI hay(his rolled up mattress circa 1989). The list goes on and on.

I challenge you to get your attic in order before it falls in on you. Susan said, “if it is in the attic you should have stopped by the garbage can to throw it away before it makes it to the attic”. Great advice, but I have too much Scotch-Irish in me to do that. You know the old adage “Waste not want not”.

ACO Article

Addison Clark Online was started three years ago with the philosophy of bringing “big business” experience to small and medium sized companies.  Our first tagline – Global Perspective, Local Approach – reflected that mission.  My business partner, Andrew Rountree, and I spent our careers with various Fortune 500 companies, learning the ropes in corporate America.  After many years (Andrew is much older than I am…) with large companies we started getting restless.  Our entrepreneurial spirits were not getting fed.  While I would not trade that time for anything due to how much I learned about the real world, and more specifically the world of consumer marketing, it was time to do something new.

A Q&A with NET 30’s owner, Herbert W. Goodall, III

Since Gary Meza is our focused client this month, I wanted to share an interview with NET 30’s owner, Herbert W. Goodall, III.  Here are a few of his comments on why NET 30 is especially advantageous for busy physicians, small businesses and non-profits.

Q. NET 30 has a number of medical clients.  Can you tell us why it makes sense for busy physicians to use your services?

A.   Yes, here are three good reasons:

How Do You Make Customers “Raving Fans”

Raving Fans is an interesting book written by Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles in 1993.  Even though this book is a bit dated, it conveys an important message that’s still true today.

“Your customers are only satisfied because their expectations are so low and because no one else is doing better. Just having satisfied customers isn’t good enough anymore. If you really want a booming business, you have to create Raving Fans.”

Health Care Reform Updates!

IRS DELAYS MANDATORY W-2 HEALTH COST COVERAGE REPORTING AND ISSUES 2011 DRAFT FORM W-2
On Oct. 12, 2010, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) published Notice 2010-69, providing interim relief to employers by initiating a one-year delay of the new requirement that employers report the cost of coverage under an employer-sponsored group health plan on Form W-2. The notice makes the new reporting requirement optional for employers in 2011.

The clients of NET 30 tell all!

“KidMed has been a client of NET 30 since its conception in ’08. We have been extremely satisfied with, and grateful for the services they provide us. Their personal attention to our needs as a new practice was comforting and has certainly added to some of our success over the past year.”

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Bennett, D.O.

Proper Worker Classification

“One of the biggest tax challenges for companies is determining whether workers are employees or independent contractors. If a worker is an employee, then the employer is responsible for withholding income tax and the employee’s portion of Social Security and Medicare tax from amounts paid to the worker. The employer is also responsible for paying over to the IRS the employer’s portion of Social Security and Medicare tax, as well as paying the federal unemployment tax…”

Cash Flow Tips and Basics

“The key to small business success has always been cash flow. With enough cash flow a small business can expand on its own with less need for credit or outside investment.
