Yearly Archives: 2017

We're starting in on the second half of the summer, and I have a question for you: How are you feeling about 2017 thus far for your San Antonio business? Now that we're over halfway through the year, it's a nice time to take stock. So, really, I'd be interested: How are things going for you so far? Send [...]

Every week, we advise our clients about how to handle their San Antonio businesses, and particularly their finances. It's a big part of what we do around here, and many don't even realize how much we're willing and able to help. (And that's fine, because we are plenty busy -- but always willing to talk.) [...]

Goal setting. Some people *love* reading and writing about it; but to others, it can provoke a sure-fire rolling of the eyes. Indeed, this whole ritual of "goal-making" can feel very cliche, but look -- we all need little "nudges" to help us actually make changes in our lives. I see it as my role [...]

When I chat with my San Antonio business-owner clients and friends, I find that many of them are adopting a "herd mentality" when it comes to marketing their business. I'd like to see that change for you, and for all my business-owner friends. Granted, I know my limits -- I'm an accountant, not a marketing [...]

As is often cited, more fortunes were made during the Great Depression than during any other time to that point (and well beyond, even when you adjust for inflation). I say this to point you (and myself) higher, and to lift our vision about what is possible -- especially with all of the continued doom [...]

This past tax filing season was one of our best yet. And by "best", I mean that not only did we get to serve a bunch of great San Antonio clients, but we were able to help a lot of tax "issues" get resolved, and made a lot of clients happy. But one thing in [...]

There are so many things in our modern world that are true causes for concern. Whatever your politics, the atmosphere in Washington is tense. There is unrest across the culture, and a sense that many of the things that we have grown to rely upon aren't nearly as stable as they once were. And to [...]

There comes a point when you hear news such as we all saw unfold over the weekend in London (and earlier in the week in Manchester, UK), and it's tempting to just go numb. It feels like survival, during these crazy times. But I'm fighting to care, and not just tune EVERYTHING out. There is [...]

Memorial Day is behind us, and our lives move forward. Mere words, even a full day of memorializing cannot measure the worth and honor due to our fallen service men and women. For many of us, a 3-day weekend ushers in the summer ... and maybe that's because the task of memorializing itself seems not [...]

The other day, the New York Times ran a story that spoke to one of my favorite topics: keeping our minds clear. The subject was the seemingly-endless barrage of news stories about the current administration, and the challenges of navigating your mind to be free of it all. Whomever you voted for, whatever your political [...]
