The holiday season is just around the corner and with it the 33^rd Annual Christmas Parade on Tuesday, December 3, 2013.

November is here and now I can say it’s time to get ready for the holidays. Right after Labor Day I started noticing some stores getting ready for Christmas. We had Halloween and Christmas displays practically on the same isles so I started calling this Hallismas. Either way Halloween is over and it’s time to start making the tinsel into “green”, money that is for all business owners.

If you’ve ever spent time working through your estate plan with a professional, you know how important it is to update your beneficiaries. Failing to do so can result in costly mistakes – for you and your loved ones. Here are six big mistakes that can easily be avoided with a bit of proactive planning:

1. An idea for a product or service that customers are willing to buy at a sufficiently high price to allow for a big margin above cost.

Whether the idea is original, borrowed, or bought, the idea is the heart of any business through all stages of its life. If there is no idea, there is no business.

Human capital strategic planning is imperative for an efficient operation and asset protection.

You spent countless hours building financial success and it could all be taken away if you didn’t dedicate time to employee related risk management? If you’re too busy right now to appropriately address these tactical issues you must hire others to take care of it.
