Dear Subscriber,
In this issue:
Business News
If
you’re like me then you may be forgiven for wondering when all the bad news is
going to end. What’s going to solve the problems and what will be the trigger.
Maybe we need a kick start, a fresh outlook or new leadership, and we
may just get it.
The elections are come up soon in America, Gordon Brown is being blamed by
Iceland for not being able to foresee what his actions will bring and blame
him for the collapse of their biggest bank. Is this just another politician
excuse? Some may think that, others on the other hand may blame Brown for the
unprecedented decline in our economy, eating away over the years with stealth
taxes, devolving responsibility with the banks. Basically looking after number
one to get to number 10. Some however like his way of politics and think the
boat is rocking, don't rock it any more. He may just get us out of this.
Who knows? Quite frankly I just care how the economy is going to recover and
what's going to trigger it. Who has the guts to do it? Well, history will
tell. New leadership or a new direction or both may be needed. Either way,
keep your eyes open.
Tax Tip
There
is a new section in the tax sheets area of the website. It has a tax calendar
which means that you can not only make checks for crucial dates, you can set
an email a few days before the deadline to remind you. See the widget at the
bottom of an event for a reminder email. May save you money on unnecessary
fines. Pass this on to your accounting staff. (It only has dates to December,
but this will change soon.)

Business Tip
Good
manners can get you far in life and it’s always a bonus and a pleasure when we
hear and see it. We found a nice tool called
Etiquette Tip of the Day which reminds us of the obvious but some times
neglected in these dark and frustrating times. Bring a smile to someone's face
and pass the good feeling around. This makes for good business and a nice work
environment. Who wants to do business with someone who is grumpy or rude? Even
if you are angry or frustrated and having a bad hair day, don’t pass it on.
Legal Tip
In
uncertain times giving credit is a concern as a sale with no money is not a
sale..., it’s a giveaway. It may be time to revise your credit system. Knowing
what you can and cannot do will give you options. We have a number of
documents to help you do this.

A new
Police Central e-crime Unit (PCeU) comes into operation in 2009. It will work
closely with other agencies including the National Fraud Reporting Centre (NFRC)
and other international forces to protect users from cyber-crime.

article is about the big boys getting ruffled in these difficult times.
It points out that professionalism and balance is the key. This also affects
