Tax Tip of the Week | Meetings (And Their Unintended Benefits!)

Tax Tip of the WeekOctober 17, 2018Too much is written about wasted meetings. And, without a doubt, many meetings are a huge time suck! The worst meeting is having a meeting just because it is time to have another meeting. No one has their heart and soul in a meeting like that.But, there is the other side of the coin. I am in a lot of freewheeling, brainstorming business meetings. Many of these sessions have a wide array of topics, many of them unplanned. I love these meetings because so many, really cool, unexpected, great ideas often just appear out of thin air.Also, please note that rarely do I start a meeting without a written agenda. It not only gives me a starting point but also a place to deviate from. All business owners already have inside them the answers they are seeking. Sometimes all they need is an opportunity to say things out loud and having someone to ask the right questions. Often, these are the moments that open the right doors. So, don’t be afraid of not sticking to the agenda. The good stuff lies just off the beaten path.Thank you for all of your questions, comments and suggestions for future topics.
