::amazingness::

The most amazing and wonderful thing happened to me this past weekend! I got my cuff back! You know-the one I compared to an NSYNC song! I've never been more shocked and dazzled in my life and am so GLAD to have it back. I have a feeling that selling my jewelry is going to be harder than I imagined. I just don't want to let anything go...

::money, money, money::

everyone wants your money. it's expensive to maintain your business. there are a lot of other things you need to think about before you just jump in. will you have money to renew officer lists, domain names, hosting services, etc? you need to plan for these yearly expenses in your business plan. 

just to give you an idea of some of the costs- i just had to pay 125 smackers to renew my list of officers to maintain my LLC status. yahoo wanted 34 dollars to renew my domain name. ridiculous, so i paid about 60 dollars to keep my domain name for the next 4 years with godaddy including 4 years of private registration.  what is that you ask? making your domain name private means less spam, less junk mail like credit card offers, and more protection. after all you don't want any joe schmoe who is computer savvy to learn your address and phone number do you? especially if you are selling expensive goods. that's all i've got for today kids.

tip for the day:: track your expenses religiously
