Wanna Be Part of the Community?

In case you didn’t realize it, the ACA uses its Facebook page as a community forum. It’s where I share wayyyy more mentoring and guidance beyond the blog here, and where our members and friends can ask questions and add their voice to the conversation.

I’d love to have you join us there! And if you’re not there, you’re missing out on a TON more conversation, fellowship and learning.

See you there!

Free Gift for You: Intro to Business Formations

One of the most important decisions you must make in your business is what business formation to choose. Many of us start out as sole proprietors. For many reasons, there often comes a time to decide whether incorporating is the next best move in your business. However, it can be really confusing trying to understand all the different forms of incorporation in order to decide which is best for you.

As part of the work I’m doing on our Start Your Business section of the ACA website, I came up with a free guide to business formations to provide an at-a-glance comparison of the different formations and some of the most important things to know about each.

You can download your free Intro to Business Formations here.

Could you do me a favor in return? Since this is new, I hope you will let me know if this guide is helpful or not or if you spot any typos or anything else a miss. I sure would appreciate it!

Have a rockin’ Monday and enjoy!

Free Income and Pricing Calculator

Hey, I’ve got a little present for you today!

It’s our new and HUGELY improved automated Excel Income and Pricing Calculator that you can download for free.

We’ve offered a calculator since 2006 (back when we were still the VACOC) to help folks get conscious about their numbers and figure out their hourly rate.

However, I’ve never been an advocate of billing by the hour because it’s the least accurate way to charge for the value you provide. In fact, it actually causes you to LOSE money and earn poorly.

So for the longest time I’ve wanted to completely overhaul our calculator to walk you through the process of getting clarity around your income needs and help you calculate your pricing baseline in a completely new and different way, a way that will help you actually realize your income aspirations and look at achieving them from a different angle.

I finally got around to doing just that earlier this year, but then I got stuck on a more advanced Excel formula so I put it back on the shelf until two weeks ago when Charlotte Martin came to my rescue.  Thanks to her wonderful assistance, I was finally able to finalize our new calculator so I could share it with you today. Enjoy!

PS: Please do let me know what you think!
