T.I.A!!!!!!!!!! Oh and 1 more try and find a way to buy more tools!! Lol!!I think ditching your last one will help with your first! I know it's hard seeing a great tool deal or walking by a new tool that you gotta have and not making the purchase but you gotta put family first man! Tools will always be there.Im Not trying to tell you what to do, besides it already seems like you know what's up.. that's why paying debts was your number 1 and buying tools barely made the list!You got this bro!I took a LARGE hit on a job a few years ago.. lost a shit load of money and it definitely put some hurt on the household. It was amazing how much stress it caused me personally and with the wife, I gained weight, shitty moods and no motivation. It felt amazing to do the math and see how bad it really was, put together a solid plan to recover and achieve it month by month. Having that weight off my back helped in so many ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'm with you BK! After having gone through my major life upset I got married to Samantha in 2014, got my best friend Rufus through a major surgery so he can be healthy for the time I've got him, paid for and paid off a wedding, down some major home renovations....AND WON THE UTB 5....2014 was freakin' awesome! 2015....well no changes needed here! Maybe win the mega bucks and get the heck into retirement!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see my accountant once every 3 months and my attorney every 6 months. It is a small price to pay for your time and peace of mind. The best part about having an accountant is when they say you need to spend some cash it like the tool flood gate has open up. As for my New Years resolutions for 2015. Try to keep the ones I made in 1977. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for my New Years resolutions for 2015. Try to ke3ep the ones I made in 1977. yeah, im really excited about it. Ive been in the same rut of avoiding paperwork and letting it literally stack up on my desk for years. It was so stressful and overwhelming every time i am in my office that i would just avoid it even more (not a good cycle haha) for years now ive tried to start the year off fresh and make changes myself but it has never lasted.. this year im taking "me" out of the equation and letting a professional step in and take over. That way i can spend more of my time focusing on my customers and my work which makes me money..Im taking this week to completely organize my office before a bring someone else into my mess, file all old paperwork and catch up on past due office work (no actual bookkeeping just things like phone calls, emails, sending out invoices and quotes) I can honestly say that my office is more organized than it has been in at least 5 years and it feels great!!
