What is your level of resistance?

When it comes to learning new things we all have a level of resistance that sounds something like this - new things are hard, messy, and possibly irrelevant. Have you ever tried to a new hair style? The hairdresser does this amazing job. You look great walking out of the salon but the next morning after your shower you can’t remember how to make it happen. So what do you do? Well you try and each day it gets easier and better and finally your friends are complimenting you on your great hair style!

Financial literacy is no different. Truth; you never have to know more than basic math – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Once you begin down the road of learning it. It will build on itself and it won’t be long before the things that initially felt hard and messy are all of a sudden old hat and you are ready to build on them with additional ideas and tools.

Financial literacy is a learned skill. What that means for each of us is that it is possible for us too. It does not matter how old we are, how much money we have in the bank or what our work is, we can learn this.

So why would you want to learn financial literacy? They say money can’t buy you happiness. In my experience money touches every area of our lives. When we are not driving the bus it is driving us, taking up time and energy that we could be using to create the things and experiences in our lives that truly bring us joy.

Two of my favorite authors for financial literacy are Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and Loral Langemeier, author of The Millionaire Maker.

"Most wealth is inconspicuous. The man down the street driving the nice car and living in the mansion could easily have greater debt and a lower net worth than the stealthy and wealthy plumber who drives a beat-up truck but seems to work only when he doesn't feel like fishing." Loral Langemeier

“We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them.” Robert Kiyosaki

Invest in learning. Learning can come in many forms: reading, webinars, classes, or coaching. For a lot of us, finances can be a scary topic. Fear is nothing more than a lack of knowledge on a topic. With the Internet today the world of knowledge is at our fingertips. Begin to explore.

Exit Strategy

Do you have or need an exit strategy for your business?

With six months left in the year, why would I be asking you to think about an exit strategy?

The most successful business (success being that when you retire, close, or sell your business you have profit or money in the bank to live off of) requires having an exit strategy.

The time to figure that out is right now!

By creating an exit strategy using business forecasting techniques with me, a financial expert who has been doing this for 30 years, I can provide you with a short, medium and long-term strategy to help your business experience grow.

Ask yourself these questions:

·       Are you building an asset to sell where the proceeds from the sale will fund your next steps in life?

·       Are you creating a legacy to be passed on to the next generation?

·       Are you creating a method to create cash where that cash will be used for investing to fund the next steps in your life?

·       Are you creating something to do for a time that will allow for a certain lifestyle for that time?

Once you are clear on these answers you are ready to create the forecast for success.

If you are ready to experience long-term growth, despite the economic conditions, and to create an exit/profit strategy with a trusted and experienced financial management expert, then contact me today.

Create your pot of Gold!

The universal symbol of good luck is the Four Leaf Clover. The tradition was first documented in 1620 by Sir John Melton and the belief was if you carried a four-leaf clover you would be able to see fairies and ward off any evil or bad luck. Unfortunately, there is only one four-leaf clover for every 10,000 three-leaf clovers.

Today we associate the four-leaf clover with St Patrick's Day and typically we will see a leprechaun along with a rainbow and a pot of gold. I wonder if the odds of finding that pot of gold are in alignment with the odds of finding a four-leaf clover?

I take great solace in knowing that we are all, each of us, capable of creating our own pot of gold. Financial literacy and management are learned skills available for each of us. If you have not yet read the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D Wattles, I encourage you to do so. Like many things in life the first step in achieving what you want, begins with opening your mind to new ways of thinking.

You can increase the odds of creating your own pot of gold through learning and being brave enough to try new proven systems and tools. Having solid mentors and team members to walk with us can exponentially increase the rate at which we achieve our results. July is fast approaching. Let's make the last half of 2013 your best financially by taking action now.  Click Here to make an appointment with Sue.

At Abundance Accounting we are honored to walk with our clients as they continue to take new steps towards their pot of gold. If you are not yet one of our clients, and are looking for a proven way to build your own pot of gold, contact us today, we would love to hear what you are up to and to see how we can be of service to you in creating your pot of gold.

Hiring Your Kids: What it Means for Your Taxes

If you hire your child to take the reins of your business, you might be able to avoid withholding Social Security and Medicare taxes on his or her wages.  However, it's important to pay them a reasonable salary and keep records to document the arrangement. Which lead's me to this month's Your Money Saving Tip article found by CLICKING HERE.

Please contact us with any questions you may have.

How is your debt load impacting your family and business life?

John & Teresa, like a number of small business owners, are slowly beginning to recover from the last four years of economic turmoil. They were committed to staying in the game, knowing what they were offering was of value. Through imagination and creativity they were able to repackage themselves in the marketplace and sales once again began to increase. The investment in this process however left them with more debt than they had anticipated. Does this sound familiar to you?

How is your debt load impacting your family and business life?

Are you looking for a solution?

Initially the burden of the debt was overwhelming, leaving John & Teresa wondering if they were ever going to get out of debt. Often they would argue, each wanting the other to find a way to take care of the situation and neither knowing where to turn. Being savvy business owners they felt they should be able to figure this out on their own. Searching online they were able to find people, who for a large up-front fee, would negotiate their debt down for them but then they were left with figuring out how to make all the payments.

Next, also online, John & Teresa found some excel spreadsheets which were already set up to track debt reduction. A friend of mine calls excel spreadsheets Bill Gates payback to all the kids who made fun of him in school! Excel is a good tool for many things but for understanding cash flow it falls very short. It is a static tool that requires constant updating to project with or to adjust for life’s curve balls. If you are ready for a dynamic tool, that will adjust for you as life happens then continue reading!

For the last three years we have been working with a financial GPS. I personally have used this tool to reduce my debt faster and have saved over $150,000 in interest in the process without refinancing! Call now for a complimentary no obligation analysis to see what this tool can do for you. It will be well worth your time and when you book your appointment I will send you my report on Debt Reduction & Wealth Building.

Whew it's after tax day! Mary was reviewing her tax returns and she realized that not only was her home out of budget but that her business was as well. At home Mary follows a routine for starting her day. When Mary gets up in the morning she starts her day with a cup of coffee and the morning newspaper. Then she eats a bowl of Special K before getting into her car for the 20 minute drive to the office. While in the car she listens to an inspirational audio to help begin her day with enthusiasm. When Mary is on top of her game she follows this routine consistently and produces great results. When she forgets any one of these habits her day never gets off to a good start and she feels behind the eight ball all day long. How many of you can relate to that? Systems like the ones we use in the morning can be helpful in ensuring we produce the results we want. Were you satisfied with your financial results this tax year?

Creating a financial system and routine to follow will grow your wealth both personally and professionally. Your life can be broken down into systems. Routines that we use with our kids, our spouse, our business and our finances. Human beings tend to do things systematically. Many of us deny this fact because we like to believe that we are spontaneous and that nothing is controlling us, yet when you look at your daily life you realize that the more you do use a system or a habit and a routine the easier your life becomes. The same system can be applied to your financial future and growth.

What is your current financial system? Is it random? Do you have more month at the end of your money? Are you surprised when you check your checking account balance? When looking at your business are you clear on your assets and liabilities? When you use a financial system developing a business forecast becomes easier.

One system many of our customers have implemented is the following:

· keep two envelopes in the car labeled for the current month - one for personal expenditures and one for business expenditures. As transactions occur the minute you get in the car empty your pockets of receipts into the envelope making notes as required. (Typically that is only required on meal receipts)

· keep a folder in the house labeled for the current month - as items come in the mail put them in the folder, making notes on anything that is unique or new

· keep a similar folder in your office for business statements

· after the last statement for the month has been received (typically these are your investment statements) put the items from the folders in the envelopes and mail to Abundance Accounting

This is a pretty simple and easy process that ensures timely financial reporting. Your financial system will have a great impact when it comes to time. You can always make more money to compensate for a poor system but you can never replace your time.

Contact us today!  to take action on your financial future now. Let's grow your business and personal finances and talk about ways Abundance Accounting can help you create a financial system that will free you up to do what you do best!

We would love to hear what systems you are using. Please go to Abundance Accounting on Facebook and share with us what is working! We will be happy to send you our free Debt Reduction and Wealth Building Report as a thank you.

Take my significant other out to dinner.

Understanding Money Principles or the Rules of the Game

Your Business and Personal Reboot for the rest of 2013


This is the second quarter of 2013. We all get a financial reboot in our business and personal financial planning and growth.

Although the economy is slowly churning for medium and small business owners, and certainly for families, every economic indicator suggests sustained growth for 2013.

When you follow the rules and principles of money, your business and personal finances can grow at a substantial rate this year.

What are the rules of the game of money? The rules of the game that wealthy people follow - and many of the rest us don't - have been around for a long time. These rules are not exclusive to wealthy people and you can follow the same rules. When you follow these rules or principles your business and personal life changes forever.


Some Rules and Guidelines for Business Owners:

· Having current financial statements

· Reviewing your financial statements with an advisor monthly or at a minimum quarterly

· Having a financial forecast for the next 12 months



For Your Personal/Family Life:

· Paying yourself first

· Keeping current financial records

· Having a plan for the next 12 months



When you follow these principles you can expect new results. Truly what rules or principles do for us, is they are the guiding ideas we use to form our behavioral habits. The first rule of wealth building is awareness. Many of us have developed a set of habits that may not be working for us. Often these principles or rules of the game are not something we can put into words. For each of us these principles are different and have come from what others have taught us and or from habits we have formed over time. They go back to the time when we received our first allowance or our first paycheck.


If an individual is unaware of their principles, their guiding rules, they can be making decisions that are not getting them where they want to go and they have no idea they are doing it. For instance, some of us keep a check register and some of us don't. Some of us sit down and pay the bills each month and some of us don't. Some of us pay bills randomly and some of us wait to the last pay check and then we pay the bills. If family members and or business partners are unaware of their rules they can be butting heads and never understand why.


As well, most of us never stop to look at the whole picture and how our daily actions impact that picture. When we meet with financial management people, someone like myself, who can help us to shift our habits to create wealth, then we begin to create awareness around knowing why we make the decisions we make around money..


I am offering a free business forecasting analysis and personal analysis to assist you in creating the best financial growth for the rest of 2013.

I have 7 available business forecasting slots available, and 7 personal analysis slots.

Business owners can expect: 

· Gain clarity on revenue vs expenses

· Understanding of your current financial statements

· How to use your cashflow for maximum gains

Your personal analysis includes:

· How to grow your money while getting out of debt

· A plan of action that works, and will end arguing over money

· The date you can become debt free


Knowing your why, your definition of what abundance is for you in your life, is the fuel for changing your financial habits. Then it is just a matter of demystifying these habits and rules, which have really been around forever and learning how to implement them in your life. When we begin to follow the rules and create new habits then it becomes easier to start the wealth building process.


When I am working with people we go through a series of questions to help identify what money principles everyone is working with. It's fun, easy and painless. Doing this is a crucial first step for wealth building.

Contact me today by clicking on the appointment link below or call and to schedule your financial analysis. Let’s prepare for a better economy and make the rest of 2013 you’re best financially…

Cash Flow - What is that again?

Cash Flow - What is that again? and is it possible for our family and business???

This week I was once again reminded of how elusive the concept of cash flow is. Here are some of the things I am hearing:

How do I keep more of my money?

When I look online all I find are systems for investing.

I want to know how to have more money left at the end of my month.

When I start to look at my situation I have a hard time wrapping my arms around the chaos, then I become afraid or angry and just walk away.

I keep procrastinating looking at my finances and then another month, quarter or year has gone by and I am still not clear what I achieved.

If this sounds like you, the most important thing to know is you are not alone. The next most important thing to know is that financial management is a learned skill and you too, can learn it, and become a cash flow expert!

At Abundance Accounting our Sue defines abundance as the ability to do what you want to do when you want to do it and in the way you want to do it without worrying about the cost!

Money is a tool we learn to use in order to achieve abundance. When you learn to use this tool well, you begin building wealth. There are many steps that go into learning about money not the least of which is looking at our own thoughts and actions.

The time to start is now, no matter where you are starting from and what you think about where you are starting from. Whether you are afraid or excited just start. Think of one thing that you could do differently this week to begin to learn how to use the tool of money more effectively so you can begin to achieve abundance for you!

You can even take action right this moment - REGISTER FOR the "Get Your Cash Flow in Order for Higher Profits" Free Teleseminar March 26th @ 11am Pacific.
Carpe Diem - Seize the day!
