Do You Need A Diagnosis Of Your Personal Finances?

You’re probably reading this question and wondering are you kidding me, I don’t think that my finances are sick, maybe a few problems here and there but what does a diagnosis have to do with my personal finances? Well, if you’re having a problem with your personal finances and you cannot determine what the problem is then wouldn’t it be great if you were able to identify the problem you may be having with your finances? That’s right, you would be diagnosing your own problem with your finances up close and personal.

If you’re able to diagnose a current problem with your own personal finances this may help you to alleviate further damage to your finances. You’re thinking to yourself, yes maybe diagnosing my personal finances may help me but, I’m really not sure about this. Well, let’s take a further look to determine if diagnosing your personal finances is something you should consider doing. Interestingly, Janet and Joseph were also a little apprehensive about diagnosing a problem they had with their personal finances too, but, they decided that they would take a stab at investigating the problems they were having with their finances.

Joseph and Janet were having problems meeting their mortgage payment each month along with some of their other household expenses. They just could not understand where all of their money kept going each month. They both had very good jobs, no children and not many bills to pay. Their combined net income is approximately eight thousand dollars a month. It seemed when the first of each month rolled around they struggled to make their monthly mortgage payment of ,500. They just could not understand why they were living pay check to pay check with the amount of income they were bringing into their household each month.

Joseph and Janet decided they would sit down and diagnose their personal finances. They just could not continue to go on being frustrated and stressed out each and every month about their bills. They decided to use the following tips to diagnose the problems they were having with their personal finances:

Tip One: Write down all of your monthly expenses including the following: mortgage or rental payment, vehicle loan, credit card bills, utility bills, etc… Try to ensure that you include all of the monthly expenses you have to pay. Accuracy is the key here.

Tip Two: Calculate other expenses that you may pay on an annual, bimonthly, semi annual, or quarterly basis which may include bills such as; home or renters insurance, property tax, vehicle insurance, health insurance, etc…

Tip Three: Secure all of your credit card, debit card and store receipts. Calculate these receipts as part of your bills for each month as these particular expenses were incurred.

Tip Four: Look at your bank statement and balance your checkbook. This will be an important factor in helping you to diagnose your personal finance problem. Go over your statement and checkbook register as close as possible.

Tip Five: Tally up all of your income received monthly. This means any money you have received coming into your household each month.

Tip Six: Take a first, second, and maybe a third look at your expenses and income to determine where your financial problem may be. It’s somewhere there, all you have to do is locate it. You can do it, just look, seek and you will find. Just keep looking and you should be able to diagnose your personal finance problem. Keep in mind persistence, consistency and perseverance and determination is key here. Just stay focused and you should do just fine in diagnosing your personal finance problem.

After spending several hours going over their expenses and income, Joseph and Janet were elated that they were able to diagnose their personal finance problem. They discovered that Joseph had an awful habit of using his debit visa card on expensive daily lunches while at work and also weekly visits to play golf at his favorite golf course. In addition, Janet also had a fetish with going to her local mall to buy clothes three times a week after she left work. These extra added expenses incurred by Janet and Joseph really added up each month and neither one of them had any idea what they had been doing to themselves financially.

This information discovered by Janet and Joseph enabled them to make the necessary changes in their spending behavior to regain control of their personal finances. This also allowed them to meet their obligations of paying their monthly expenses each month on a timely basis. Joseph and Janet also found they had additional money left over after they paid their monthly bills so they were able to set aside money for their savings account.

Joseph and Janet found this was good time well spent diagnosing their personal finance problem. They are so happy they took action to take control of their personal finances rather sooner than later. So, if you think you may need to diagnose a personal finance problem you may have, go ahead, get started and take action to get back into the driver’s seat and control your own personal finances today, you’ll be glad that you did.

Sales Management: Avoid Motivational Bankruptcy, 6 Tips for Exciting Your Sales Team

The president of an office supply company was recently lamenting that his sales people were not operating to their potential. “Motivationally bankrupt,” he said.

This is a very common complaint in any area of business. However, it is usually the managers who unconsciously demotivate their employees.

Sales people want to succeed in their jobs.  When they sign on they’re psyched to do well in the company. Even if they are experienced, they are new to you and new to your company.  If you haven’t made a conscious effort to show them how to do business your way, they will do it their way and probably be less effective than either of you hoped. What happens next is they become unhappy.  That’s strike one. You’re disappointed, which shows – strike two. Then, you probably tell them what they’re doing wrong and that’s strike three – motivational bankruptcy.

Here are 6 tips to keep your staff motivated and producing.

1.         Set The Expectations.

Tell your people what you want and your method to get it.  Nobody knows what you think they should know.  Believe this or live in frustration.  Never assume they know because of experience, intelligence or whatever.  Make your desires perfectly clear.

Also, get over any concern that it would be insulting to them, or unnecessary.

You will have to take the initiative because your employees are probably not going to ask for your expectation or how you want them to work.  They foolishly think this would make them look badly to you.  Therefore, pull each aside quarterly and spell it out.

If your employee has a different approach, work it out together.  Otherwise, even if successful, you will always be suspect, waiting for the fall, and your anxiety will come through.  This causes self doubt which leads to failures and demotivation.

2.         A Well-Trained Employee Is A Happy Employee.

Employees – especially when new or entering a new role – are like sponges trying to learn what to do.  You can fill that sponge with good liquid or let them fill it with whatever they pick-up.  Even your best people are sponges, but they are looking for new liquid to get a competitive edge.

Unless a person has learned how to sell (or do) your stuff how can you expect them to know how? I hear all the time, “They are experienced.”  I always retort that I am an experienced golfer, but I am still a 17 handicap.  Experience doesn’t mean they know how to do it well, and for sure not your way.

Doers need skills – skills they never learned and/or don’t use. Besides, everyone can learn again or be refreshed.  Employees will never accept responsibility for failure.  They will always blame the company – you.  So put your people through skills training. In this way you will know they actually have the tools.   Additionally business is constantly changing and your people need to be updated.

Be careful of in-house training. Consider bringing in a professional to train.  Internal people, unless doing or managing the task, lack the been-there, done-that knowledge and credibility to be effective. For example, many companies let marketing do training for new sales people. This is a curse to salespeople.

Marketing pushes product advantages, features / benefits, and competitive differentiation rather than selling skills. This indoctrination makes salespeople feel they should go out pushing prospects to buy, rather than digging for needs and relevant information. They become annoying and never build their credibility.

3.         Coach Your People Until They Get It Right.

People cannot coach themselves. If Tiger Woods needs a coach, your people need one. A few years back he was without a coach and his game slumped considerably. You are the best to do the coaching. Do sales calls together. First you do the interviewing. Discuss it and then let your person do the next one. It is crucial to give positive feedback. Also, once is not enough. You will have to do it until he or she gets it right. Better comes before perfect.

4.         Recognize Good Behaviors.

Saying something was done well – no matter how small the deed – is a big deposit in their motivational bank account.  Your urge will be to tell what the employee did or is doing wrong.  No matter what you think, this is a motivational withdrawal. You have to exert an extra effort to spin negatives into positives.  Say, “Consider doing it this way in the future.” This will be tough because it takes more energy to find positives, or take poor behaviors and restructure them into constructive suggestions, than it is to just say something negative.

5.         Pay Attention to Your Bad Days.

Here’s a typical situation. You’re up to your ears in alligators. It’s a bad day and you want to strangle someone, and now your subordinate comes in and lays-on another frustration.

Be very careful here. Your day is not his or her issue and a negative reaction will inadvertently be a drain to the motivation account. So be alert to your awful moments. Avoid your people or at least decompress before engagement. This will mitigate unintentional damage.

6.         Rewards Are Very Powerful Motivators.

Rewards are catnip to employees’ self esteem. Salary, benefits, and bonuses are part of the job. Rewards are special and personal. They are public acknowledgements of your appreciation and can be very energizing.

Two keys: First, don’t presume to know what will excite a person. Everyone is different. Ask what special something would excite him or her. If they say something monetary, probe to see what else. You’ll be amazed.

Second, the cost of the reward is not important. A plaque with the person’s name is big. Decals or coasters are significant. Make it tangible – something for them and others to see. This is a lotto size deposit into the employees’ motivation account.

Also, make rewards so that everyone can win for meeting expectations. This creates a team atmosphere for all to help each other.

In summary, demotivating is like going down a slide – fast and without effort. Motivating is like crawling up a flight of stairs covered with broken glass.  So check your negative reactions and your employees will stay motivationally high with little effort on your part.

Although intuitively obvious, the implementation will require you push yourself into behaviors that are different – and nobody likes to change.  However, if you make the shift you will stop the motivational withdrawals and your portfolio of satisfied, highly  productive employees will keep paying you dividends.

And now I invite you to learn more.

Why Is Accounting So Important?

The significance of accounting has never been more apparent than in today’s market, with the struggling economy and the job market in decline.  Though the loss of jobs may be happening in many fields the one that continues to stay strong is accounting.  The reasons for this are the same reasons that accounting is such an important aspect in the economy and in society.

                Before we can begin to understand the importance of accounting, we first must understand what accounting is.  Accounting can be defined as the theory and system of setting up, maintaining, and auditing the books of a firm.  It is the art of analyzing the financial position of a business through its sales, purchases, and overhead.  These records must be kept in chronological order and must be summarized in a useful format.   It is also responsible for identifying information on the transactions, analyzing it and then interpreting each and every document.

                Now that we have begun to understand what accounting means we can begin to examine how important accounting really is.  The first way in which it is important is that an accounting education can be applied to any job industry.  For instance a secretary uses accounting in managing a company’s check book.  Also the executives of this same company must be able to analyze the success of their business through analyzing the accounting statements from the past and present.  These are just two of the many job positions found in any company that must have some knowledge of accounting.  Another reason that accounting is important to all business majors is because of the fact that the business world has now come under much scrutiny.  As a result they are held much more accountable for their financial practices.  This has occurred because of the events of the Enron and WorldCom scandals.  For this reason nearly all businesses require their employees to have a general knowledge of accounting.

                Another way in which accounting is such an important aspect to any business is that accountants are responsible for providing information that is used to determine the present and future economic stability of the organization.  It has been proven that these companies that use good accounting practices have a competitive advantage over their opponents.  Also they have the ability to improve their decision making abilities.   Those that do not use these practices face an inability to compete in the market and make their decisions simply on a hunch.

                Not only is accounting very important in the business world it is also beneficial for ordinary people to know as well.  Each and every person uses these accounting skills in their daily lives when making financial investment decisions.  They also use it when assessing their interest rates in order to pay off their house mortgages.  The final way in which they can use these skills is to balance their check books and to calculate the rates of their car payments.

Within the accounting department can be found the forensic accountants these are individuals who use the audit and investigative skills to assist in legal matters and to make recommendations in order to minimize future risks.  Their jobs also can be extended into civil matters, for instance to find any hidden assets in certain divorce cases.  These individuals are just as important as regular accountants because of the fact that they are also in very high demand.  The reason though that their jobs are so important is because of the fact that fraud is becoming much easier to commit.  These actions are a result of the fact that technology has increased significantly and that gives people individuals the ability to commit fraud on a massive scale and get away with it very easily.

The significance of accounting not only is clearly vital in the business world but it also can be shown that it plays a part on the individual scale as well.  For these reasons and many more it can be shown that accounting clearly is if not close to the most important skill in todays’ society and will continue to be in the future.

Tax Tools – Recommended Tax Calculators

When it comes to taxes, many of us are clueless about what our withholding should be, if we should pay an estimated tax or if we qualify for EIC (Earned Income Credit). The IRS and other websites offer these free tax tools, so just search for the term and take advantage of the free help. Take a look at these tax tools that will help you figure it all out:

Withholding Calculator: This calculator is just a bit easier to use than the worksheet that comes attached to the W-4 you will fill out with your employer. You can make sure that you are not withholding too much or too little from your paycheck and you can resubmit a new W-4 with your employer if you want to change your deductions. You can do this whenever you get a raise, sell or buy a home, a child leaves home and is no longer your dependent, or when you expand your family, even if adopting. If you change jobs and have a pay cut or increase, you should always explore your withholding options.
Earned Income Credit (EIC) Assistant: This calculator will help you determine if you are eligible for EIC when you file your taxes. Your filing status (married filing jointly, single filing head of household, etc.), your income and dependent children, if any will all be taken into consideration. This calculator will not only help you to determine your eligibility but will also estimate the credit due you.
Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) Assistant: Some taxpayers may be subject to the AMT and this calculator helps you to determine your personal responsibility. You can usually get an answer in 5-10 minutes and know in advance if you should fill in form 6251 with your 1040 tax return.
Paycheck Calculator: Sometimes employers and their payroll offices can make mistakes. This calculator will help you to verify that the calculations on your paycheck are accurate and it can also help to estimate your ‘bring home’ pay when you start a new job.

All of the above are just what they are intended to be: tools. There is really no substitute for expert advice, so if you are completely bumfuzzled, consider asking a tax expert or searching for further answers on the internet. Understanding the IRS and the tax codes is an ongoing process as the rules change every year, even changing sometimes after you have filed your taxes for the previous year. Being proactive, being organized and being prepared will help you get through the next tax season unscathed (hopefully).
