5 Tips for Climbing the Career Ladder in the Auto Industry

May 10, 2022 by Semify Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that the current business world is highly competitive. With the right tricks, however, you can climb the corporate ladder in the auto industry and become a top business executive. Have a look at these five tips below that can help you do this and start to develop your career.

1. Know Your Company Well

If you want to climb up the rungs of your company’s corporate ladder fast, it’s important to know the company well. This will enable you to have a clearer vision of your future, and you will have an easier time knowing what you need to do to keep getting into higher positions. Know all the details you can know, and share some of this information with your superiors when the occasion presents itself. Doing this will let them know that you’re capable and can take on leadership roles.

2. Keep a Current Folder of Your Accomplishments

A portfolio is an important tool for someone who intends to seek a promotion. This is because it provides solid evidence of your intelligence and potential. From positive reviews that you receive from clients to commendations you get from supervisors and more, there’s a wealth of things that you can keep in your folder. Ensure to keep it up to date so you don’t leave out recent achievements, which may carry more weight because they’re current and possibly more relevant.

3. Be a Team Player

Every workplace consists of a team that needs to work together towards a common goal, so if you can work well with everyone in your team, you have a good chance of getting promotions. Make sure to follow safe practices and help your coworkers whenever possible, as doing this will make you a great person in general. Construction workers in the United States, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, lose an average of 11 workdays every single year as a result of serious injuries at the workplace. While this is in a different industry, it may reflect many ones that involve working manually with machines and moving parts. In this case, practicing safety and helping your team stay safe will be a good thing to do, as it’s what a worthy leader would do.

4. Stay Flexible

Staying flexible is an important thing in any industry as it shows that you’re dependable and creative, and able to think on your feet. One definition of a good leader is someone who takes initiative to fix something that’s going wrong or improve the general condition of things, no matter if it’s their job or not. For example, you could suggest that your company think about refreshing its logo if it’s remained the same for the last 15 years. This is something that businesses do in order to stay fresh and relevant, and suggesting helpful things like this in the right setting can help you present yourself in a good light.

5. Be a Good Time Manager

Finally, remember that a good leader manages their time well and doesn’t leave anything to chance. They get their tasks done in a timely manner so they’re able to work on different projects. Work towards improving your time-management skills and you may be noticed by your supervisors. While getting things done with a good turnaround time, make sure that they are done well and carefully, as there’s no point sacrificing quality just to beat a personal record.

With the market for automotive collision repair expected to cross $280 billion by the year 2024, you have a great chance of growing your career in the automotive industry. Stay motivated and you may be happy to start getting promotion after promotion if you follow these tips, and enjoy the position and additional finances that follow.

Pros and Cons of Self-Employment

March 2, 2022 by Jacob Sensiba Leave a Comment

self-employment

The number of businesses that have started since the start of the pandemic has shot through the roof. People realized how short life can be and decided to take their earning potential and work-life into their own hands. Here are a few stats to illustrate the self-employment picture in the U.S.:

  • As of 2019, the self-employed section of the population accounted for nearly 30% of total employment (Source).
  • As of November of 2021, there are 9.9 million self-employed people in the United States.
  • 96% of self-employed people don’t want regular jobs (Source)

Business structures

Sole proprietorship – There is no separate business entity. You are the business entity. That means your assets and liabilities are your assets and liabilities. Banks are more hesitant to lend to sole proprietors than they are for other entity types.

Partnership (LP/LLP) – An limited partnership (LP) has one general partner with unlimited liability and all the other partners have limited liability. Creditors can come after all of the general partner’s assets including things they personally own. Limited liability partners can only lose what they put in. A limited liability partnership provides limited liability to all partners. Profits are paid through on personal tax returns, except for the general partner – they must pay self-employment taxes.

LLC – Very similar to the LLP in terms of how profits, losses, and liabilities are treated. Profits are passed through to employees on personal returns. However, members of the LLC are required to file and pay self-employment taxes. 

Retirement plan options

As a self-employed individual, you have a few options when it comes to retirement accounts – Traditional IRA and Roth IRA (available to everyone), SIMPLE IRA, Solo 410(k), and SEP IRA.

Traditional IRA and Roth IRA – Contribution limits up to $6,000 ($7,000 if you’re 50 and older). Withdrawals prior to 59 ½ are subject to a 10% tax penalty unless certain conditions are met.

SIMPLE IRA – available to employers with fewer than 100 employees. Contribution limits up to $14,000 ($17,000 if 50 or older). Employer match available.

Solo 401(k) – Contribution limit is $61,000 ($67,500 if 50 or older). Available to self-employed individuals and self-employed individuals that have their spouse as their only employee.

SEP IRA – Contribution limit is 25% of employee compensation up to $61,000.

Be your own boss

You get to set your own hours and work with whoever you want to. There’s no one to tell you what to do and how to do it. For people that like to make their own schedule and like to go to the beat of their own drum, self-employment makes a lot of sense.

Earning potential

There’s no ceiling on your earning potential. You don’t have a salary range, you make what you make. You can make $10,000 or you can make $10 million. That’s a double-edged sword though, your effort determines your income. You will only make money if you work for it. Someone who isn’t a self-starter, should not be self-employed.

Costs

You have to pay for everything. Whatever the cost of business is for your sector or industry, that’s on you. Health insurance, you have to pay for that. There’s no business or employer that can foot those costs for you. Same with your retirement plan, a lot of employers offer an employee match. If you’re the business owner and the employee, ALL of your contributions are your responsibility.

Tax Tips for Tax Time

January 19, 2022 by Jacob Sensiba Leave a Comment

April is fast approaching and soon, everyone will have to visit their accountants and file their taxes. That said, we need to make sure we are filing taxes correctly. Keeping accurate and up-to-date records is important. Here are some tax tips and how to be well-prepared for tax time.

Contribute to retirement accounts

If you haven’t done so yet, or you’d like to contribute more, you have until tax filing day to do so. For a refresher, here are the contribution limits for some IRAs: IRA/Roth IRA – Max contribution is $6,000 ($7,000 if you’re over 50 or older).

If you have a SEP IRA and you get an extension, you have until October 17, 2022, to make your 2021 contribution.

This is more of a tip for the end of the year, but make sure you take your Required Minimum Distributions. For people that are either over 70 ½ or over 72, depending on when you turned those ages, you need to withdraw money from your IRA. If you don’t, you’ll pay a tax penalty of 50% of the amount you should have withdrawn. For example, if your required amount was $10,000. You’ll pay a $5,000 tax penalty if you didn’t take that distribution.

Make a last-minute estimated payment

If you didn’t pay enough or you didn’t make a payment to the IRS for 2021 taxes, you have until you file to make your payment.

According to the IRS rules, you must pay 100% of last year’s tax liability or 90% of this year’s or you will owe an underpayment penalty.

Get tax docs in order

Get all of your tax documents in order. For earnings for the year, you’ll need one to several forms, depending on what you do for a living and how your business is set up. W2s are pretty common. If you’re an independent contractor, you’ll need 1099. 

Itemize your deductions

Most people will take the standardized deduction, which is $12,550 for single filers and $25,100 for married couples filing jointly.

However, if you are self-employed or you have a lot of expenses that are tax-deductible, itemize your deductions. You could save a lot more money IF your total itemized deductions are larger than the standardized deduction.

Home office tax deduction

With the move to work from home still taking place, it might make sense to take advantage of the home office tax deduction. Here are some of the rules:

  • You must use the space exclusively for business
  • Expenses related to the space used for business are tax-deductible but need to be calculated according to the amount of square footage used for business
  • A lot of taxpayers stay away from this deduction, as they think it’s a red flag for an audit. If you’re legitimately using the space as you say and you aren’t fabricating numbers, then you have nothing to worry about

Last-minute tax tips for tax time

Triple-check your work if you prepared your own taxes and file on time. If you’re having someone prepare your taxes on your behalf, make your appointment ASAP because their calendars will fill up really fast.

Economic Pressures

June 9, 2021 by Jacob Sensiba Leave a Comment

There’s a lot of movement in the economy. Several different news threads and innovations have the ability to change the direction and velocity in which our economy moves. In today’s newsletter, we’re going to talk about some of those economic pressures, what they entail, and what they mean for our economy.

Taxing corporations and the wealthy

A news story recently came out about taxes. More specifically, this news shed light on how the wealthy manipulate the tax code in their favor.

I think the information shared in this story was well known already, or assumed rather, but served as a confirmation. A large number of wealthy individuals aren’t “paying their fair share” in taxes.

This will only add fuel to the fire. The fire I’m talking about is the tax overhaul in the tax code. The Biden administration has said that they want to increase taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals/families.

If they’re successful, it would mean more tax revenue for the federal government, which is a good thing. Is there a chance that the increase in taxes creates a disincentive for those corporations and wealthy individuals?

Perhaps, but I don’t think it’s very likely, broadly speaking. I have only one reason…those corporations and individuals are good at making money, and I believe that will continue.

Government spending

As I said, the change in the tax code will generate more income for the federal government. You may be thinking, “Great! We can reduce the national debt!”

I think that’s very unlikely. That may sound skeptical, and it probably is on some level, but both parties are spenders now. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Republican or a Democrat in the White House, they’re both going to print money to push forward their agenda.

Borrowing costs

I’ve talked about inflation a lot lately, and I promise I’ll tone down after I make this point, but I haven’t explained why runaway inflation is a bad thing.

Now don’t get me wrong, there are advantages (i.e. increased rates on savings accounts), but the disadvantage is higher prices. Households can run into trouble because they can’t afford necessities anymore.

The larger problem, however, is the cost of borrowing. Over the last, almost 15 years, rates have been low. And they’ve stayed low, other than an attempt to increase in 2018.

People and corporations borrowed a lot of money. Some bought things they didn’t need. Others to increase research, development, and innovation. Some people used record amounts of leverage to take part in the wild stock market (as of late).

With that said, the cost of borrowing will go up and the cost to service that debt will go up. The higher rates go, the more money that will be needed to pay for/down the debt. When that happens, less money will be spent on “productive” things.

That can slow growth and negatively impact the economy. That’s why central banks reduce rates in times of negative or low economic growth. It reduces borrowing costs and incentivizes people and companies to spend money instead of saving it.

Labor

The last thing I’ll say that has the ability to tie into the last point is the current labor shortage. There are more jobs available right now than people to take those jobs.

Small businesses, in particular, find it especially difficult to fill vacancies. Couple a labor shortage with a strong push from workers, unions, and government bodies to increase wages, and you get wage inflation.

When wage inflation becomes more prevalent, price inflation (CPI) becomes more likely. If companies have to pay their employees more, they need to account for that increased expenditure somehow. They turn to increase the prices of their products and/or services.

Demand is unlikely to suffer because of higher wages. People are making more money, so they should be able to afford higher prices, right?

Conclusion

If you read back some of my other posts, you’ll see I’m optimistic in select areas of the market, and I’ll stay optimistic in those areas no matter what type of economic pressures the country faces.

With all that I said, I believe there are enough economic pressures to cause a decline in the market and the economy, but there’s no telling when that’ll actually happen.

Are Business Gifts Tax Deductible?

January 20, 2021 by Jacob Sensiba Leave a Comment

How do you strengthen relationships with customers and/or business partners? A tried and true way is using gifts. However, gifts cost money, so the next question is, are business gifts tax deductible?

The straight answer is yes, but it’s much more nuanced than that.

There are limitations

Business gifts are tax deductible, up to a certain dollar amount. You can deduct no more than $25 of the cost of the gift you give to each person through the course of the year.

Incidental costs such as engraving, packaging, and shipping are not included in the $25 limit as long as it doesn’t add substantial value to the gift.

Gifts that cost $4 or less are not included in the $25 limit IF the company name is permanently placed on the item and the gift is widely distributed.

Entertainment

Any item that can be considered a gift or entertainment is usually considered entertainment and is deducted at 50% of the value of the gift. For purchases that fall under both categories, use the “gift deduction” on lower-cost items and the “entertainment deduction” on items larger than $50.

Gifts to others

If you and your spouse give gifts to the same person, you’re treated as one taxpayer. The same rule applies to partnerships.

Gifting to a customer’s family counts as a gift to that customer, unless the customer’s family member(s) is a client as well.

The $25 limit only applies to gifts given to individuals. Gifts given to other companies, generally, don’t apply and are fully tax deductible.

Gifts to employees are taxable compensation.

Other relevant information

Keep adequate documentation that includes the purpose of the gift, what was spent, the date of purchase, and the business relationship.

Gifts given to a 501(c)3 non-profit are tax-deductible. Up to 25% of taxable income for a corporation.

A large majority of the information I have listed above came from the IRS publication about “Gift taxes”.

How Much Cash Is Needed to Start a Pawnshop?

January 6, 2021 by Jacob Sensiba Leave a Comment

So you want to start a pawnshop. Where do you start? What do you buy? How much is this all going to cost?

A pawn shop can be a very cash-positive business. While doing research for this post, I stumbled onto a Quora thread that showcased how much money can be made with such an operation. The profits ranged from $30,000 per year to $60,000 per month.

But, you have to get started. In today’s post, we’ll highlight what you need and what it’s going to cost.

What do pawn shops do?

First off, we have to talk about what a pawnshop actually does. Pawnshops buy, sell, and trade items. These items can come from the owner’s personal collection, something they acquired via purchase or something they acquired via loan collateral.

When someone comes to a pawn shop to borrow money, they have to bring something of value for collateral. When the pawnshop lends money to this individual, they retain that valuable item until the principal (plus interest) is repaid. If they fail to repay, the pawnshop keeps the item.

Legal and location

There are many things you need to obtain when you start a pawnshop.

You need to take care of the legal requirements first. This includes licenses, articles of incorporation for your business entity, and permits.

Licenses include pawnbroker’s license, precious metal dealer license, secondhand dealer license, Federal Firearms License (if you plan on selling firearms) from the ATF.

The next thing you need is space. Where you set up shop is an important decision. The right location can bring in a lot of traffic and improve your earning potential. However, the right location comes at a cost.

Areas with high foot traffic cost more. Often, pawnshops will choose a space that’s close to a popular area, far enough away that it’s not too expensive, but close enough to make it convenient for the consumer.

Assets

There’s a minimum asset requirement needed to open. That number depends on the municipality, state, and country you plan on setting up shop in. For example, Texas has a $150,000 minimum requirement.

What do you need?

After you have all of the proper licenses and permits and pick where you’ll operate, you need to buy things to be operational.

These items include a computer (computer system/network), cash register, signs, equipment to display your products, record keeping, insurance, lockable cases, and a state of the art security system.

What you’ll also need is an adequate amount of capital to purchase more inventory and lend money to consumers.

What’s going to cost

Depending on the size of your pawnshop and the anticipated foot traffic, your start-up costs will vary. If you’re a larger shop with a high probability of having a lot of visitors/customers, your starting capital could be between $50,000 and $75,000. A smaller shop with lower projected traffic can get by with $15,000.

Last bit of advice

When you start a pawnshop, you need to refine and learn some new skills. You have to educate yourself on how to assess the value of goods so you can acquire sellable items, but not at a cost that eats into your profit margin.

Also, you have to come up with a business plan. What interest rate will you charge on your loans? How much will you mark up the items you sell? How much are you willing to pay for inventory?

All of these questions need answers. Keep in mind, this planning process should take place prior to buying the necessary licenses and other items to get the business started.

Signs That Your E-commerce Business Is Successful

September 23, 2019 by Susan Paige Leave a Comment

Successful eCommerce guy getting ready to make money.

Milestones are a great way for us to track our progress in life, as well as in business. You’ll always remember the day you started your business, launched your website, as well as the first customer you ever sold to. These milestones keep us grounded and help us appreciate the journey.

Unfortunately, some milestones are harder to measure than others. For example, there are no milestones that point out the exact moment that your business becomes successful, apart from a few personal metrics, like making a certain amount of money or generating traffic. To help you keep in touch with how successful your business has become, here are three signs that can tell you that you have a successful business.

Your e-commerce website earns money even when you’re not paying attention.

When you first launch your business, you need to be hands-on if you want it to run. You’re constantly making sure you have products in stock and that the pages are as responsive as they should be, all the while also making sure you’re investing enough in marketing so you can generate the kind of traffic your business needs.

The process can be exhausting. But then, when you can take your hands off the wheel and still watch the business run, then you know you’ve got a winner on your hands. If you do realize this, it doesn’t mean you need to take your foot off the throttle. It only means you’ve hit a milestone and can move on to bigger things.

You show up on Google’s first page.

Being on the first page of Google and other search engines is the dream of every website, e-commerce and otherwise. It means that finally, your domain has enough authority to search engines’ attention. It also means you’re going to get a lot of traffic from this point forward. Hitting this particular milestone is something you should celebrate.

The first page of a search engine is a difficult position to gain, and it’s even harder to keep. Now that you’re there, you need to invest enough resources into making sure you retain your position and keep getting all the passive traffic that’s currently available to you.

You’re receiving and responding to customer reports.

This may seem like a bad milestone at first. But then, think about it. When was the last time you complained about a service you didn’t have any expectations of? If you get a terrible experience from a website you’ve never heard of before, you’re not likely to care. However, if it’s a website like Amazon (the one you’ve come to trust), you’ll feel the need to let them have it.

If your customers are complaining about your site’s responsiveness or your Powercash21 payment processing, it could be a good thing for your business. It means people actually expect an excellent experience from your website. It obviously also means you need to look into their complaints and make the necessary adjustments.
