Each business is a bit different so be sure to mention these ideas to your tax advisor or accountant to see if your business can qualify for these deductions.

1- If you join any business or purchase into any franchise, expenses such as kits, or franchise fees may be claimed as a deduction.

2- Business Supplies. Be sure to save all receipts for any supplies you purchase for your business use. Computer paper, business cards, pens, catalogs, or any items you purchase and use for your business.

3- Advertising- Most advertising can be claimed on your taxes. Keep all receipts for any newspaper ad’s you may run, or any advertising you do online. Advertising is a business expense and in most cases can be written off.

This will make some people angry as hell, but it's time to debunk myth of 'Time Management' while sharing real secret of super successful.

Let's face it, many so called "business gurus" tell us to 'manage time better' or to become 'ruthless with time' if we want to achieve their level of success.

What rubbish!

You cannot manage time itself. It continues along happily doing its thing, whatever you do.

I read countless systems on 'time management' and majority take so long to implement and keep track of, you get even less done than you did before!

If it's impossible to manage time then manage your actions instead. This is key to launching new projects, completing existing ones and to at least doubling your current profits without having to do any more work.

Self-improvement guru, Tony Robbins, said "Action is destiny." He's spot on. If you start managing your actions, impact on what you get done will amaze you.

*** Your 5 Simple Steps To Action Management ***

(1) Write down a master list of actions you need to do which directly lead to income generation.

- I suggest having at least 6 items on your daily action list. Write this up day before you use it. Depending on how many of these you complete determines whether you need to add more items to list or whether you need to break items down into smaller chunks instead.

(2) Set aside between 1 and 5 'Prime Action Hours' every day where you will do nothing except most important income generating activities. Refer to your master list and immediately cross each item out once it's done.

- During your prime action hours you do NOT: take phone calls, check your email, break for meetings, chat with fellow office workers or read mail. You need to get current outside distractions to support your new routine. If you run a home office get agreement from your family to only interrupt you in an emergency during your prime action hours.

(3) Get Yourself a Timer and set it to 50 or 55 minutes. You work without distractions for this long during each prime action hour.

- This gives you more efficiency by making you accountable for what you do in each prime action hour. It also lets you know when to take an important quick break.
