Celebrate the Season
With Christmas being only a week away, many parts of the world are in a definite slowdown mode and I am no exception to this. Now is a perfect time to attend those parties that you may have skipped this past year and catch up with people over a cup of coffee. My IT team is essential to everything I do and that is why I keep the lines of communication open especially at holiday time. Most people who come to this site are interested in real estate and thanking your own team for their 2013 contributions would very much be in order.
Some last minute tax planning depending on your own situation would also be in order now before you can really kick back and enjoy the festive season.
Please note that the news articles on this site will be fewer at this time of year than any other but there will always be something new to read.
