Lease Space vs. Home Office - Ep 025

Instead of doing a typical home office deduction, you can save more by leasing out your office space, and paying yourself from your business.   

When you lease space you are not limited by the space, you are finding the fair market value of the space instead, even if it is in your own home!  

Then come tax time, what you're going to do is deduct the amount that you had paid to lease that space, and deduct that on your tax return.

COMMUNICATION - Respecting Our Differences, embracing New Ideas - KARLA DENNIS - Ep 017

COMMUNICATION - Respecting Our Differences, embracing New Ideas - KARLA DENNIS - Ep 017

In today's world we have started to cut off others with differing opinions and my friend Jason and I discuss how beneficial perfecting communication skills can be. 

The way that we look at other people's opinions and respond to those has been hurting our world, the lack of respect for the ideas of others. 

If we close off our minds to new ideas, and beliefs we will inevitably stop innovating, and expanding. 

Having better communication and building that respect with others all starts in the home, and as adults we need to teach our kids to communicate and listen in a way that will help us in the long run.

Balancing It All - More Than ONE title, We can have it ALL! OverTaxed Karla Dennis w/ Sarah Sullivan Ep 016

As women we often get put into a closed box, that tells us what we can and can't to in life, and if we step outside that box, than there is a lack of support and we are often judged. 

Sarah Sullivan is a woman who has gone against the norm, and stepped out into new things that women don't typically specialize in. Her and I are a lot alike in that way, as I am a female business owner myself.
