Five Ways to Be Luckier in Business
Bruna Martinuzzi
President, Clarion Enterprises Ltd
Luck versus hard work: Which got you to where you are today? Don't discount the role that luck may have had in your business success.
Small-business owners pride themselves on their hard work-cause and effect is an engrained concept in our business culture. But luck is not an ephemeral concept. A 10-year scientific study into the nature of luck shows that most people, in large part through their attitude and behavior, make their own good and bad luck.
In researching why some people seem to live charmed lives full of lucky breaks, Richard Wiseman, a professor of psychology at the University of Hertfordshire in England, discovered that lucky people share four traits that help them make their own luck:
* They're good at spotting chance opportunities,
* They listen to their intuition when making decisions,
* They have positive expectations, and
* They have a resilient attitude that helps them change bad luck into good.
But no matter how hard we work, we can all benefit from having a little luck come our way. What can you do to make your own luck?

The Biggest Challenge Facing Your Small Business is ...
Starting a business is a big achievement for many entrepreneurs, but maintaining one is the larger challenge. There are many standard challenges that face every business whether they are large or small. These include things like hiring the right people, building a brand and so on. However, there are some that are unique to small businesses - ones most large companies have grown out of long ago. Over the next five issues, we will be identifying five of the Biggest Challenges Facing Your Small Business (from contributor Andrew Beattie in Investopedia).
This Week: Founder Dependence
If you get hit by a car, is your business still producing income the next day? A business that can't operate without its founder is a business with a deadline. Many businesses suffer from founder dependence, and this dependence is often caused by the founder being unable to let go of certain decisions and responsibilities as the business grows. Meeting this challenge is easy in theory -a business owner merely has to give over more control to their employees or partners. In practice, however, this is a big stumbling block for founders because it usually involves compromising (at least initially) on the quality of work being done until the person doing the work learns the ropes.

Top 10 Bookkeeping Mistakes Made by Small Businesses
By AllBusiness Editors
From one-person entities to major corporations, bookkeeping is a significant part of any business endeavor. While it is typically not one of the more glamorous jobs, bookkeeping is at the heart of a company's success, and errors can cost the company significantly.
There are 10 common errors you want to avoid:
- Not saving receipts of less than $75 (except for hotel receipts. Those receipts must be kept on file irregardless.) While such receipts may not be required by the IRS, they provide backup documentation for the many deductions you may claim. It is very simple to have a folder for such receipts, which can prove valuable at tax time.
- Doing it yourself. No matter how much they hate it, many small business owners insist upon handling the books themselves. Having a competent bookkeeper coming in to handle the books can be extremely beneficial in that they have the skills to do the job quickly and efficiently and will provide a second pair of eyes to find errors and make suggestions.
- Forgetting to track reimbursable expenses. Small business owners often pay for expenses out of pocket or with their own personal credit card then make the mistakes of failing to track these expenses. They then fail to submit the expenses to the company for reimbursement.
- Not properly classifying employees. The proliferation of independent contractors, consultants, and freelancers has made it difficult to determine who is on staff and who is not. This results in misfiling when it comes to filing taxes since there are different rules and regulations for employees and non-employees.
- Not reconciling the books with the bank statement each month. One of the fundamental aspects of bookkeeping is reconciling the books and bank statements every month. Nonetheless, there are businesses that do not do this and others where errors are made by not doing it properly. Again, this is a good reason for hiring an experienced bookkeeper.
