Attention Required

Compliments of the season. I am Jubril Khalid. I am contacting you because I have a proposal that I think may interest you. I represent the interest of my brother in-law who is a minister in the Syrian Government. As you probably know, there is a lot of crisis going on currently in Syria and my brother in-law has fallen out with the ruling Junta especially the president because of his foreign policies and these senseless war and killings that has been going on for a while. Everybody in Syria is fed up and want a change but the president is too powerfull and he simply kills anyone that tries to oppose him. My brother in-law has moved to support the opposition to empower them to be able to fight and repel the ruling party but unfortunately, his efforts has been unsuccessful and he is now currently being arrested for plotting to unseat the ruling leader. They have seized all his assets and he is now very scared for the safety of his family especially his kids.

Before he was arrested, he has asked me to help him find a foreign investor who can help him accommodate and invest 100 MUSD privately that he has lodged in a finance house abroad. He wants these funds safely invested so that the future and safety of his family can be secured.

I am contacting you with the hope that you will be interested in helping us. We need your help to accommodate and lodge the funds in the banking system in your country and also invest it in a very productive projects. We will handle the logistics involved in the movement of the funds to you. Please note that the entire business will be executed in a legal way. My brother in-law has promised to compensate you handsomely for your role in this business. Do you think you can handle this?

He wants this to be done discretely so I will be acting as his eyes and ears during the course of this transaction.

If this proposal interests you, please kindly respond so that I can give you more details.

Regards,

Jubril.

New Real Estate Market Among Other Things

If your radar picks up Richard Branson, Professor Behrokh Koshnevis, Lady Gaga, India's cost-saving ideas, and the Olympic torch, you may have noticed a pattern.  For those who are still lost, I'll throw in President Kennedy.

That's correct: the obvious conclusion is that we'll be starting an off-world colony soon.  No, I'm not suggesting we have the money, intelligence, man-power, and motivation to abandon Earth to escape pop music.  You can just turn off the radio.




However, Richard Branson's "spaceline" Virgin Galactic is scheduled to lauch it's first commercial flight in 2014.  You can join him for $250,000.  That may sound like a lot of money until you consider that no collection of resources in human history could get someone off the planet until the 1960's.  On top of that, a ticket gives you access to a lot of other perks like spending time with Richard Branson.  Book a ticket here!

Meanwhile, Dr. Behrokh Koshnevis, a professor of Industrial Systems Engineering and Civil Environment Engineering (his website) has been pushing more conventional boundaries.  He has developed 3D printing technology that can print full-size buildings.  See his Ted talk here for a more complete explanation.  The short version is that his technology can print a 2,500 square foot house in about 20 hours.  No labor, better materials.   Though it might cost as little as $250,000 to send a single contractor up to the moon, it would be a lot safer and cheaper to send up a machine that could handle whatever construction you need (including wiring, plumbing, whatever you like) without needing food or atmosphere.

If, however, you actually were hoping to escape modern pop, you'd better go now and enjoy what little time you've got alone.  In 2015, you'll have to share the vacuum with

Lady Gaga is set to perform a single in outer space (courtesy of Virgin Galactic) as part of the Zero G Colony music festival.  You can get info here.  Not all hope is lost for space though.  First of all, plenty of people like Lady Gaga and/or her music.  Second, it's pretty big.  You can go somewhere else if you need to.  More to the point, we're sending something a little more inspirational to space for the first time.  Though, it's been there before.

Since Prometheus first stole the fire thousands of years ago as Greek myth goes, we've come closer than ever to returning it to Apollo (the Sun god) as just yesterday the Olympic Torch was brought onto the International Space Station.  This article from BBC news reports that tomorrow it will be taken for an historic spacewalk (it won't be lit).

At the end of the day, however, even in the face of all this space traffic, the cost of travel is still prohibitive except to governments and people with a spare $250,000.  There may not be enough of them to warrant a colony.

My grandmother has been to all 7 continents and I don't know how many countries.  When I asked, she told me she wasn't interested in going to the Moon.  Why?  "There are no 5-star hotels on the moon."  Don't worry, Nanny.  Once we get basic Moon travel on the consumer market, luxury Moon travel won't be far behind.  The problem is, how can we manage that?  The answer for anyone willing to put in the effort: How can we not?

India just launched a mission to Mars that cost about $73 million (source).  The US mission MAVEN's budget is $485 million (source).  That's less than one sixth the cost to India.  According that NBC article, their payload cost is about one tenth that of the US.  India can send up 10 of Dr. Koshnevis's 3D printers for the price of one to the US.  That's 40 houses on the Moon less than 2 days after landing.  Alternatively, they could probably construct Lady Gaga's Moon Palace in short order as well.

The point is, as we perfect these technologies and keep pumping money and interest into space travel, it's going to get more and more practical.  India is already poised to make a killing on cost-effective space technology.  At this point, if you're not thinking of your industry in terms of space application, you're being short-sighted.

What We Can Learn from Neil Armstrong's Recent Death

You may have joined the nation today or yesterday on Facebook and Twitter in mourning the passing of an American hero.  Neil Alden Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the Moon, passed away on August 25, 2012.

Why, then, are there so many posts of a "RIP Neil Armstrong" nature?  The theory is that there was a misunderstanding about a post marking the anniversary of his death. (source)

Whether it was one misunderstanding or a series, there were enough people under the impression that Neil Armstrong had just died to get the "news" trending.





1.  People miss crucial details.

Maybe this happens a little more often on Twitter or Facebook.  The messages there don't get the same priority as business communications.  However, if you shoot someone an email the length of a tweet, don't make it something too important.

This goes for office communications as well as client communications.  ESPECIALLY client communications.  If your ads aren't understood correctly, that's lost money.  If there's a foul-up handling something for a client due to a miscommunication, that may be a lost client.

Take a little more time to make things clear, and explicitly address possible confusion.  When you say "on Wednesday" go ahead and add "the 28th" or "tomorrow".  Nobody's going to criticize you for being easy to understand.

2.  People forget things.

Yes, people should have remembered that Neil Armstrong had died, especially when posts mention that it was the anniversary of his death.  However it happened, they missed it, and they'd forgotten.  Some of you may be wondering how that's possible.  He's Neil Armstrong.  Other readers are wondering what the big deal is.

The fact is that people have different circles of interest.  Person A thinks it's incredible that Person B forgot about Neil Armstrong.  Person B thinks it's incredible that Person A has never heard of the Beatles.  Rolling out your newest product is big news to you, but it may not be on someone else's radar at all.  Even though you've been advertising half a year and have talked with this very person about it, go ahead and throw in a one sentence reminder.  "We're excited about relasing XYZ..."  "I hope to see you at the back-to-school party..."  Again, you've got nothing to lose.

Hint: The correct answer is 'yes'.

Here's a survey from HBJ's business pulse. I was thinking of answering "Yes, if they're comfortable." On further thought, it's really, "Yes, it's expected." If you're not comfortable on twitter or other social media relevant to your business, it's worth the time and effort to get comfortable. Twitter, for example, is a quick, free line of communication to your clients. What's better, it's a line of communication directly from them to you.

Interfacing with my CPA – Support for Small Businesses

                 These simple questions will help you keep your CPA running smoothly no matter what model or version you’re using.

1.  Is your CPA plugged in?

                Ensure that your CPA regularly receives information about your business.  Your CPA is programmed to operate on whatever information it has and assume that information is current.  Make sure your business’s financial records are connected to your CPA.  If there are business related emails more important than daily activity, you might forward them to your CPA as well.  This will allow your CPA to record and report investments and other dealings promptly and even assist you in executing them if desired.

2.  Are you logged in correctly?

                Check to see that your CPA has all necessary information.  Your CPA will need certain information about yourself or your business in order to function properly.  Your CPA can tell you everything required upon request.  The information needed will vary depending on what your CPA is doing.

                Keep in mind that CPAs have different modes such as tax preparer, CFO, bookkeeper, and more.  Operating your CPA in one mode may require more information than another mode.  Again, your CPA can list all needed information upon request.  There may even be an unimportant looking email from your CPA on this subject sitting in your inbox.

3.  Are you running the correct mode?

                Make sure that you have engaged your CPA to function the way you want.  If you are having your CPA file reports with the SEC, the CPA will need several components, including a balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement.  These may be generated by your CPA or by yourself and then sent to your CPA.  Make clear to yourself and your CPA who will be producing these documents.

4.  Are you running current software?

                If you answered question 1 affirmatively, then this issue is likely taken care of by automatic updates.  Your CPA is regularly downloading everything needed from your business.  However, your CPA may encounter additional requirements, especially at certain times of year.  Should this happen, your CPA will prompt you for additional information.  Quick response is highly recommended.  Too much delay may result in your CPA freezing up, difficulty running programs, or, worst of all, an error, which often results in financial loss.

We hope this short list of common CPA issues was helpful.  Should you have further issues or questions, please visit http://www.clearfinancials.com/contact.htm, and we will be glad to assist you.

Common Cents A short newsletter keeping you in touch with an ever-changing financial world Click to play video Click on video to play NFIB June Analysis The National Federation of Independent Business has taken a cautious approach to examining the business climate once again.  The optimism index they’ve developed rose for the second month in a row ending May with a rating of 94.4.  This is a strong increase from April’s rating of 92.1, which was up from March’s 89.5. The 1.3 dip from February to March was the cause of some pessimism among the NFIB’s economists, and they remain skeptical that recent growth in small business optimism is a lasting trend.  One concern is that the reading is still historically low: “…6 points below the pre-2008 average and 13 points below the peak for the expansion…”  Another is that job creation has not yet replaced the jobs lost in the recession. My hope is that they are being overly cautious.  The NFIB notes that May’s 94.4 is the highest the index has been in a year (last May was also 94.4), but the short term of the trend makes it less reliable.  I believe that this trend may be part of a slightly larger one that is more significant over the lifetime of the recession.  For about 80% of months since October 2010, each month has had a rating above average for that month in previous years.  That is to say, for any month in 2011, 2012, or 2013, it was likely better than that month in 2008, 2009, or 2010. Examining the patterns of monthly change in the optimism index over the same time period yields similarly encouraging statistics.  Once again, for about 80% of months since October 2010, each month had either standard change (within half a point of the average for that month any given year) or was significantly above average.  That’s not to say there was no decrease in the index.  For example, March, June, and July have seen decreases in the index every year since 2008, but June 2012 is the only one of those months since 2011 to see a drop that was significantly below average.  In short, the most pessimistic times are behind us, and optimism has been generally growing for a few years. The most significant outlying point of data is the 5.6 point plummet of November 2012.  That was the worst drop in the entire data set with only one other month anything like it: October ’08 with 5.4 point drop in optimism.  However, it would seem that the member businesses of the NFIB are as optimistic now as they were a year ago.  Instead of coasting along like the 2011-2012 gentle climb from 92 in November to 94.4 in May, 2012-2013 showed huge progress from 87.5 in November to that same 94.4 in May. Perhaps this is just a correction from an overreaction to the election as people find they may be able to continue business as usual.  On the other hand, this might be an accelerated time of growth at the end of what may be a trend heading out of the recession.  A great deal of the more specific data from the NFIB shows that some figures like sales have been exceeding expectations.  It really does not bode well that the percent of member firms borrowing money is on the low end in recent months, but then it seems that those who are borrowing have found it easier to do so.  Once again, my assertion is that whichever businesses take action now and look to expand will find themselves ahead of their competitors who catch interests rates a little higher for coming later. The report may be found here: http://www.nfib.com/Portals/0/PDF/sbet/sbet201306.pdf NFIB Small Business Economic Trends June 2013 © NFIB ResearchFoundation. ISBS #0940791-24-2. Chief Economist William C. Dunkelberg and Senior Policy Analyst Holly Wade are responsible for the report. How We Do Business Business should be more than just about money and competition.  At least half of our waking hours are devoted to our work, and for those of us running small businesses, the lion’s share of the day goes into our business.  Shouldn’t something in which we invest so much of our lives be an expression of ourselves instead of just a means to an end? I’ve done my best for years to conduct business in an honest fashion.  When I’m looking to hire someone, I try to get to know that person a little first in the hopes that I’ll have business associates who think the way I do.  I started Clear Financial Solutions so that I could help businesses do more of what they do well instead of just trying to turn 90 cents into a dollar.  I’m glad to say that the people I work with are also concerned with getting the job done instead of just billing hours.  Together, we work to cross the t’s and dot the i’s as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible so that our clients can focus on  conducting business. There are far too many stories in the news about fraudulent accounting and embezzlement.  I read about one accountant a few months ago who was fired because he refused to lie to auditors about inappropriate expenses.  I admire his integrity; it’s so sad that this is how he was forced to show it.  I’m thankful that we at CFS get to exercise integrity on a regular basis.  The hours billed are real hours that were spent focused on you, the client, by myself or someone who answers directly to me.  If there’s ever a question about an invoice, I am always available to sit down and clarify the work we performed and the time it took.  That’s accounting with accountability.
