As discussed in my previous article (Accounting: A necessary Evil), accounting ranks pretty low in the popularity scale. So keeping it simple is probably your best bet to making sure that you consistently track your receipts and expenditures. Consistency in getting your bookkeeping done is what you want to make sure happens. Yes … the [...]
In popularity, as a task, Accounting probably ranks at the bottom … likely the same level as going to the crapper the day after you’ve had a few dozen habaneras. As much as I’m a financial guy, accounting is probably the least enjoyable thing for me to do. It’s been ingrained in me since the [...]
A buddy once told me the story of a brilliant inventor who worked in his basement in isolation for 20 years on a secret project.
