Keys to Success

Bill Cosby is quoted as saying “I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.” For the very famous Bill Cosby that is quite a statement!  Maybe part of his point is one of the keys to success is knowing what NOT to do.  It seems that what you don’t do is equally as important as what you do.

What “things” are you not doing that are contributing to your success (personal, family or business)? 

 

The Balancing Act

In talking with a colleague recently he remarked that many of his clients were seeking him in order to live a “balanced” life.  He said that after years of coaching, he was guiding clients to lead a “balancing” life.  Intriguing!  It means that one is constantly adjusting to what is happening in their life.  It means that it is constant movement and adjustment. 
It means not spending all your energy looking for the one right formula to live by – to finally have a “balanced” life.

So, what about you?  How are you living a balancing life?  What assists you in balancing?  What results do you experience from balancing your life?

Business (Privilege) License

North Carolina municipalities are authorized to levy a ‘Privilege License Tax'. Generally, every person, firm or corporation engaged in a business, trade, or profession named in the privilege license ordinance is required to obtain a privilege license. The cost of the license is dependent on the type of business.

The municipal tax department in the town where a new business will operate should be contacted for assistance in determining if a license is required and if so, in properly completing the application.

The Privilege License tax generally covers the period of July 1 to June 30. The tax is due on or before July 1 each year. (Businesses engaged in the sale of beer and wine must file by April 30th of each year.)
