Often in business, and life, it is good to quit and let things go.

I quite like it when people say “winners never quit”, and I always reply with “yes they do!”. But it is when that matters, they know the right time and they are able to let go.

There is no worse feeling then ‘What was that idea?’. I remember when I was at school, I used to daydream my way through most lessons. I think the daydreaming has done me a lot of good, had I paid more attention no doubt I would have done better in exams, but I don’t care, the daydreams helped feed my business desire and ‘idea & creation ability’ (that sounds good!).

However, the one big thing that I regret is I never wrote any of my ideas down, nothing, not a sausage.

I’ve posted a couple of times on this blog about why now is a good time to invest. I personally am reinvesting most of my profits until we are out of the recession, the idea being I will be in a good position when the economy picks up. A strategy I highly recommend if you have the money right now.

Daily I read business forums, newspapers etc and generally try to keep track of financials that affect me. But one that completely bypassed me was the AIA, or Annual Investment Allowance.

You may have seen the article this week about the eBay seller who has been caught selling fake designer clothes, cosmetics and computer games.

Sunday April 5th 2009 is the end of the current tax year, and it is fast approaching (6 days away at time of writing). So make sure your accounts are up-to-date and everything in good working order. This makes preparation of your final accounts much easier.
