Are you teachable and
willing to learn new things? Are you
interested in making better financial decisions? Are you interested in making
more money? Then you may just be ready for Business Street Smarts. What is Business Street Smarts? According to the marketing copy, it is a
program which will allow us to 1) Know our Finances, 2) be Efficient, 3)
Control our taxes, and 4) Prevent Fraud.
What business owner wouldn’t be interested in these skills?
Best of all, it is a
fireside chat with a former colleague or ours, none other than Mike Field, CPA,
JD. For those who don’t do acronyms, he
is an accountant and a lawyer. Despite
these handicaps, Mike is a fun guy, and rivals Tom Cruise in the category of
person producing the most dental glare when they smile. Here he is pitching Business Street Smarts on
a segment of Colorado’s Best:
We have just completed
the first audio portion of the downloadable MP3 series, which is a lesson in establishing
“hooks” for memory retrieval. In this
section, Field shows you how to organize Information in your mind so that you
can instantly retrieve it. He employs a
unique teaching technique to achieve this goal.
The technique seems basic, and it is.
The jest of it is to use the familiar and join it, mentally, with the
unfamiliar.
At the end of the
first day, we are aware that we will do the following over the course of the
next 15 days in terms of sections:
1) Build a Foundation of Primary Financial Statements, Balance Sheets, Income Statements
2) Learn how to analyze these statements
3) Understand Business Taxes and the interplay with one’s personal taxes
4) Learn how to detect and prevent Fraud, as well as some basics in bookkeeping

However, all we know
at this point is our way around an unfamiliar house with some incredibly
strange things involving Olympic gymnasts, Count Dracula, and a cat happening
in the front yard, on the porch, and in the living room. Yet somehow, it all makes sense. Will it translate into better financial and
business decisions for The Mint? Stay
tuned.
If you are as intrigued
as we are and want to learn more, visit: http://www.businessstreetsmarts.com/ for more information on this unique and
entertaining program.
And by the way, don’t
believe the hype on deflation, for the debt based monetary system cannot
tolerate it. The economy is going
gangbusters, and will continue to until further notice.
Stay Fresh!
