Direct Sellers Guide to Financial Prosperity (Perfect Bound Book)
This easy-to-read book is written by a Chartered Accountant (CA) with a sense of humour and a wealth of experience in dealing with business owners and managers. It is designed to assist a direct seller in achieving financial prosperity.
What is a direct seller? Simply put, it refers to anyone who sells an exclusive product to purchasers without the use of a retail establishment. Avon or Mary Kay cosmetics, Usana vitamins, or Amway all fit into this category.
All direct sellers are interested in financial prosperity. In order to stay afloat, there are two challenges that direct sellers--like any small business--must contend with: making money and staying out of trouble. This book on financial prosperity is intended to give you, the direct seller, the tools you need to meet these challenges head on. While you will still require the services of an accountant, this book will help you learn the basics and ultimately save you money. You'll be better informed when you first meet with your accountant and know which questions to ask.
As a self employed person it is up to you to learn what you need to know to run your business. Whether you're just starting out or you've been at it for awhile, this book will give you a leg up, informing you of the tasks you need to perform as required by government and also the perks of being a self employed person when it comes to your taxes. You'll never have to say: "Gee, I wish someone had told me that sooner," again.
