Go Ahead, Cheat on Your Taxes or Just Take Your Home Office Deductions

Cheating on your taxes is no joke. It's a real crime punishable by stringent fines and/or imprisonment. But there are legitimate deductions that you could be taking as a business owner or even an employee for home office deductions. But you have got to do it right and legally.

Positively Pittsburgh Live! TechoGranny visits Military Writer's Conference 10-1-12

Positively Pittsburgh Live!

TechoGranny visits Military Writer's Conference

10-1-12

Listen to the show here.

Where in the world was TechnoGranny last weekend? Along with NannoGranny, JoAnn Forrester, she was in Dayton, Ohio for the Annual Military Writer's Society of America’s Annual National Conference. Tonight, we will also let you in on some of the highlights of the conference from a Pittsburghers point of view, including the fact that some other Pittsburghers traveled to Dayton for this conference both as presenters, award nominees and attendees. We even shared a panel with Best Selling Author, Dwight Zimmerman who will be a guest this evening, along with Stacey and John Holley, recipients of the 2012 Founders Award given out by the Military Writers Society of America.

Guests:
Stacey Holley, author

Dwight Jon Zimmerman, author

***

Stacey and John Holley

Stacey Holley co-authored the book Medals, Flags and Memories with her husband John. Over the weekend the Holley’s were the recipients of the 2012 Founders Award given out by the Military Writers Society of America.   

On November 15, 2005, John and Stacey Holley unwillingly became Gold Star Parents. Their son and only child, U.S. Army Specialist Matthew Holley, was killed along with three other soldiers when an IED exploded under their Humvee while on patrol in Iraq.

Racked with grief over their son’s death, John and Stacey’s sorrow turned to outrage when they learned that Matthew’s casket would return to San Diego’s Lindbergh Field as common freight. There would be no honor guard to welcome this fallen hero back to the nation of his birth. Instead, Matthew Holley’s remains would be transferred by forklifts and baggage handlers, like a crate of auto parts.

Determined to welcome their son home with honors befitting his sacrifice, the Holley’s embarked on a quest to challenge the law, and to begin a journey of healing that would touch the lives of Gold Star Families across our nation.

Medals, Flags and Memories is a three part story of John and Stacey’s journey of healing.  They share about the choice their son Matthew made “To serve a cause greater than himself” - John’s journey to Iraq, stepping foot in the worn torn country nearly one year to the day after being notified of Matthew’s death and the faith to carry on their son’s legacy as a husband and wife and to continue touching the lives of others.     

Gold Star family represents family members who died or were killed while serving in the United States Armed Forces. This is signified on a service flag with a small gold star placed on top of a blue star.

The Holley Provision, known to some as Angel Flights, was passed into law as part of the 2007 Defense Appropriations Bill. President George W. Bush signed legislation into law in October 2007 and the Pentagon enacted the Provision in January 2007. It ensures consistency across all branches of service by providing an honorable, dignified and respectful transfer of our Fallen Heroes from Dover Air Force base to their home of record. Since it’s enactment the Holley Provision has touched over five thousand families across America.

Transformation Partners LLC (STP) is a management consulting firm that provides thought, leadership, clarity and solutions that challenge business processes in the areas of PEOPLE and STRATEGY. Led by Tammy E. Camper, the Company helps business leaders make better decisions, deliver improved business performance and take advantage of windows of opportunity even when the course of action isn’t clear.

Tammy at the Summit

I got involved by seeing information on LinkedIn which is a wonderful tool. I sent Rita information about my company and told her that I was interested in helping in any way she needed, even though I am in PA (outside the Philadelphia area). I’ve been drumming up some calls to action by sending the information out to those organizations that I am associated with of which most have Chapters in every state.


I will be presenting a short keynote in the morning on Leadership and then in the afternoon I will be presenting my “Strike A Business Match” workshop.
The workshop

The term “business matchmaking” has become a buzz word for many organizations. Come prepared to take away strategies you can use immediately such as:

• Which Match Do I Strike?

• The Match That Won’t Light!

• The Match is Lit – Now What?

• And much more.

This will be a fast paced and interactive session so come prepared and be prepared to Strike Your Business Match!

Benefits from this dynamic session include:

• Turning Contacts into Contracts with the right Strike of the Match!

• Maximize your networking skills to find the “decision maker”

• Leverage your WBE/MBE/SDB/SMALL status as an asset

• Learn to think like the “buyer” and not the “proposer”
