Why I Was In the Office Today (January 2nd, technically a holiday)

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

Come to Minot ND

Studious ManEarlier today I asked the question: Why are you in the office today?

It's January 2nd, technically a holiday, banks are closed as well as government offices.. so why are you in the office?

The answer for myself is that I'm getting my books in order for tax reasons. I want to be more "on top of" my file keeping in 2017 then in previous years. File keeping has always been a chore I've passed on to my secretary and accountant. I'm thinking if I keep better tabs on where the money is going I can make my corporation run more efficiently which in turn will help better serve the needs of my clients.

As the day went on I had a couple of walk-ins, phone calls, and other pluses that ended up making it a full day (as opposed to the half a day I planed on putting in).

Thank you Vickie Teel , the other goal I had was to enjoy some family time and that is also going well. Hope you are having a great day as well.

I did get off an hour early Nathan and Angie Gesner which isn't much but hey, it's an extra hour with the family.

Hi Bob and good for you!!  It's a great way to get the year started and I bet good things come from it.

I spent several hours in the office today as well.  It was quiet, I could focus and was not distracted.  It helped me to get organized and when I go in tomorrow, I will feel energized and ready to make 2017 a great year.

That is EXACTLY how I feel Marnie Matarese . I also had the extra incentive that we are now in a blizzard and may not be able to get to the office tomorrow.

I have always been a fan of starting the year off with a busy and productive day.  My first two days have been busy and productive too, and the schedule is very full in the days ahead.

Bob "RealMan" Timm I am relieved that we have all our accounting books computerized, so with merely a click and out CPA gets it all. Good luck!

WOW, that sounds like a dream come true Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI NMLS#1483386 but I've never found the time (or brain power) to use Quick Books or any other accounting program.

Good morning Bob.  I hired a new agent yesterday and was at the office longer than I wanted to be. 

Jan 03, 2017 04:01 AM

I can relate to that James Dray I stayed longer than I wanted to as well and accomplished less than I wanted to. Hopefully today I will accomplish more than I expect to.

I did a little work yesterday, but had a lot of home-related things I wanted to do as well. Today it's back to normal!

NORMAL sounds really good Kat Palmiotti . I miss normal.

Those are not "fun" chores to say the least, Bob. Besides, last I checked, we weren't government employees so who said it was a holiday?

No we are not although I often envy their hours and the pension plans they have set up but I would not trade it for the joy I get from working with Real Estate Nina Hollander .

I can relate to this ... I did mine on January 1, 2017.  I got as much done as I possibly can ... appointment with CPA is scheduled too.

I'm not done yet Kathleen Daniels but I'm sure looking forward to that "I'm Finished" feeling.

Bob - oh yes it is that time again and I was working on this between Christmas and New Years.

It seems like I spend an entire month on this even though I have an accountant Grant Schneider . I wish our representatives would get a handle on this.
