  • How to Diversify Your Client Base
    Industry Icons

    "Show me a company with more than 10 percent of its business with one customer or more than half of its business in one industry and I'll show you a company at risk of being impacted by one company or one industry," says Paul Weber, CEO of Entrepreneur Advertising Group in Kansas City, Missouri.

    Let Inc.com give you six proven strategies to expand your business in areas you're not in now.


    Protect Your Pets When You're Gone
    Good Old Girl

    "Chihuahua at Center of Fight Over Posner Heiress's Will" read a recent headline in the Wall Street Journal. Not everyone has $3 million to leave their pets when they die as Gail Posner did, but many people want to make sure that their companions are cared for.

    California is one of several states which allows trusts to be set up that take care of pets in their old age. So, when you're planning your estate, don't forget to include your furry family members.


    Finding Acres Of Diamond
    Diamonds in Stone

    Acres of Diamonds is an old story of an African farmer who sold his farm and wandered the countryside searching for diamonds. It later turned out that the land that he sold was full of diamonds and eventually became the site of a large mine.

    Is your business acting like the African famer, chasing far-away dreams while ignoring real riches at your feet?

    Charles Sterck, CPA

    The latest news and rumors about how the health care law will impact your business? Real-life stories about surviving an IRS examination? The top 3 actions you can take in June to reduce your taxes next year?

    These are some of the postings we thought about publishing in a new Sterck Kulik O'Neill blog.

    A blog would also let people ask tax and financial questions which would help them and other readers achieve financial success. It'd be an interactive version of our Ask a CPA pages.

    Before we get carried away, we wanted to check with you. Do you have time to read another blog? What can we say that will help you?

    Please take our one-page survey. Should we blog? What can we say?
