Mother of Business Template Directories
After being involved with more than one company startup, and taking over a few operations, I realized that I’m always doing the same thing which is creating a computer folder structure for the business. Anyone who has done this knows it’s a mammoth task. I finally spent a few weeks and carved out my first ‘template’ called NEWCO_COMPANY_DIRECTORY which can…
Backing Common Stuff Up in Akaunting
Warning: I’m so busy these days I don’t have time to do nice editing and correction of typos but whenever I have something I think needs to be logged for others I just slam it out. Apologies for the lack of polish but hopefully the content is valuable. After I took so many days to finally set up my business…
What Equity Should a Child of God Focus On?
Someone I know shared this text message conversation about a business decision really got me thinking: Person A: What do you have to give up to get their $ ? Person B: I don’t care what I have to give up as long as I get a small piece of a much larger pie. I’ve learned success is largely about…

Is Gmail Safe to use ‘Just for Business’?
No. Google is *not* safe to use ‘just for business’, I confirmed clearly today. About seven or eight years ago when I moved my whole life over from proprietary operating systems to Ubuntu, I was still using services like Gmail, Google search engine, Twitter, and a few other ‘services’ like these every day within the Ubuntu environment. Thankfully, I had…
What does your Email say about you?
I love this post and I come back to it time and time again. However, it is now both out of date and also needs further commenting. First, though, go take a look and enjoy the original here: COOL CARTOON THAT EXPLAINS HOW YOUR EMAIL REPRESENTS YOU Here are my updates, and I’d love any extras or edits you could…
Has the Traditional ‘Telephone Call’ Seen Its Day?
Which do you prefer? The sound of an incoming text message, or a telephone call? Which sound makes you lose your focus more? Which sound evokes more stress? Which sound compels you to take action? It seems as though the people around my age and younger would say ‘anything is better than the phone call’. And you will notice that…
