The Sun Has Arrived

Yesterday was a first in a very long time that I went out without a wool overcoat on. And it felt great and strange at the same time. Today, without checking the weather report, I did the same. You can probably tell that I have gone overboard. With an hour of extra sunlight and twelve inches of snow starting to melt I have gone wild. I keep looking in...

Spring Forward! Finally!

After a challenging winter it is always nice to know that more sunlight and longer days are on the horizon. We work in an industry that doesn’t allow for snow days or time off because of power outages in our homes. Compared to last winter, this one wasn’t so bad. We work a lot of hours in January to prepare our clients’ year end tax statements. And that time...

New Project!

Well! That did not take long at all. On Wednesday I was celebrating the finish of a project and by Friday another project is started. We must have all felt the bug of doing a Spring Cleaning. And so we have started our Spring Cleaning project at The Payroll Factory®. A lot of people do not like change. They like the coffee maker right where it has always been....

The Finish of A New Project!

Spring is here. And I don’t know about you, but I feel like I would love to hibernate over the winter months. This winter was a challenge for us here in Pennsylvania. Not only did we get close to record breaking snow totals, but we also had ice storms that took out our power for days at a time. But not at The Payroll Factory®. We never lost power....

Keep It Simple, Stupid!

{Sigh.} Uhm. {Longer sigh.} Why do I do this to myself? A great opportunity comes along and instead of just grabbing it, well  I over complicate it. Unnecessary questions, like – “what could go wrong?”; “What are the down sides?”; “What’s my risk?”. This stuff messes up my positive thoughts and probably my long term success. What I really need to do is just seize the opportunity. No questions asked....

Dad, when are we going to Disney?

I don’t want to be afraid anymore. Everyone crying doom and gloom for the last two years petrified me. Not due to my individual circumstances but due to the fear about more bad news. Believe me there is enough real bad news. There is enough real fear  to concern me. I am talking about the irrational fear on top of the rational fear. My family and I have been...

Is sunshine good for business?

Is sunshine good for business? We had  a long snow filled, icy,  tree damaging winter. It is good to see the sun. I want to play golf, ride my motorcycle, go to the beach, play ball with my kids. All of which moves money. Gas money, restaurants, traveling, new equipment, sporting goods. People’s attitudes are better in the summer. So go out, enjoy the weather, buy some new equipment,...

Have you learned anything?

Day after day we hear stories of emergencies and tragedies. 9/11; hurricanes; blizzards; economic strife and even death and destruction. We have seen it all. We have heard all of the stories and warnings. But have we done anything? Have you done anything to protect your business and your family? What if your key employee is suddenly not there due to illness, disaster or even death? Are you ready?...
