From Glenn Huells

Did you know you could save thousands of dollars each year
(yes $1000's) in taxes by having your own home-based business?
As a CPA, I have learned how to crunch numbers...
Plus, I have my own home-based business that has been saving me $1000's each year in taxes.

So... I know a little about how to save some money in paying taxes, but, again, like always, consult your accountant.

Let me give you a example so you can see

how lucrative this can really be for you.
(Note: This is jut an example based on US tax law and does not imply this will be the same in your case, savings could be greater or less then this example - the normal legal mumbo jumbo.)If you are an employee working for somebody else, let's take a look at your basic tax return:


Revenue: $30,000
Deductions: $ 0
Adjusted Gross Income: $30,000
Federal Income Tax: $ 2,800
Social Security Tax: $ 2,250

TOTAL TAXES PAID: $ 5,050


OK, pretty simple. You work 9 to 5 (plus 2 more hoursa night to please the boss),
you make $30,000 and right off the top Uncle Sam
(or your country's government) takes $5000 and don't even say thanks.

Now, let's see what it might look like now that you own a home-based business,
and start taking advantage of every perfectly legal tax deduction
the government
offers you....

(This is with the same expenses and income as above - we are comparing apples to apples.)-Revenue: $30,000

-Deductions:
- Business Trips $ 2,000
-Child's Payroll $ 4,000
- Automobile $ 4,000
- Home Office $ 3,000
- Entertainment $ 2,000
- Business Assets $ 7,000
Adjusted Gross Income: $ 8,000

Federal Income Tax: $ 0
Social Security Tax: $ 1,200

TOTAL TAXES PAID: $ 1,200


Let's compare the two...As an employee your total taxes paid were - $5,050
As a home-business owner your taxes paid were - $1200
As a home-business owner you saved $3850 in taxes annually

just for owning your own home-business (and your expenses were the same!)

That is like the government giving you almost $4000 every year,
just because you started and own a home-based business.

So, exactly how does this work?


As a Home-Business Owner you are offered the following Tax Advantages:
- Business Trips (vacations) Do you ever take a vacation (or would like to but can't afford to?) By owning your own business you can now deduct that as a business expense. It is easy as long as business is conducted while on that trip.

- Child Payroll You can pay your children up to $4,100 per child for working in your home-business. Do you pay your children currently, give them spending money or save money for their college education? Now you can do the exact same thing but deduct it as a tax expense by having your children help out in the business.

- Automobile Expense You can deduct around 30 cents for every mile you drive that is business related and a portion of all car expenses. Imagine that, taking an expense you already have and turning it into a tax write off.

- Home Office Since this business is done out of your home, you can deduct a portion of your rent or mortgage as a business expense, plus other home expenses like electricity, water, sewage, etc...

- Entertainment 50% of all business entertainment expenses can be deducted. Do you go out to eat? Well, talk about business and deduct that meal.

- Home Office Equipment Do you have a computer? A phone, fax, desk??? Did you deduct those on your tax return? By owning your own business you can.This is just a brief overview of how you can deduct your normal, everyday expenses you already incur as business expenses and make a huge windfall in tax savings.


There are actually 144 deductions for home-based business owners
like yourself that you can take.Whatever you do...Stop overpaying Uncle Sam!!
(Or for you great people outside of the US,stop overpaying your government in taxes!)

What a Fantastic Controversy!!!


Friends of Team Health2Wealth.


The following is a letter from a good friend

Tony Michalski of Kaillisti Pubplishing.


Tony is an active Participant in our Live Talk Show discussing Think and Grow Rich and I heartily endorse his positive stand on the Drivel presented in The Secret.

PUT YOUR PLAN INTO MASSIVE ACTION


Dear Chuck,
I guess it was bound to happen.
I had to open my mouth
about The Secret and it presentation of the Law of Attraction.
I made a podcast of it, which if you aren'talready a subscriber, you can download here -http://snipurl.com/1bwsb
In this seemingly innocent yet highly controversial episode, I talk with DAVID PORTNEY, a collegue you may remember from my Master Key to Love and RelationshipsTele-Seminar.

David wrote a report about The Secreten titled "The 5 Biggest Lies About the Law of Attraction",which can be downloaded here -http://www.DavidPortney.com
Now, before you start hitting me with hate emails, letme give you some back story.
When What the Bleep? was released, I saw it and I reallydid not like it.

It was basically an infomercial for the Ramtha School of Enlightenment.
If you're someone who is into channeling and getting messages from spiritualbeings, then go for it.

I am not.

What really bugged me about that movie, though, was its ludicrous use of quantum theory to "support" many of its outlandish claims.
If it weren't bad enough that the claims and their"proofs" were silly, it cast true personal development in a bad light.
Nonetheless, the movie was quite popular amongst the New Age crowd and my voiced dislike of the infomercial was met with some derision as well as a few applauds.
When I heard rumours of The Secret and that it seemed to be based on Haanel and The Master Key System, I was quite excited.
Perhaps here would be a movie that would present this philosophy in a cogent and reasoned fashion! Perhaps we'd get a movie that talked about Universal Laws without losing touch with reality.

Then I saw the trailer for the movie - and my hopes dropped.
What I saw was a trailer that talked about a "secret" hiddenfrom the masses, coveted by business men to keep the workers in line, kept in covert circles ...

In other words, while it was a dramatic trailer, it really wasn't factual. Remember, I posted quite a few blog entries debunking all of the rumours surrounding The Master Key System (that it was hidden, thatit was banned by the Church, that Bill Gates had read it -and yes all are false).
Seeing the trailer made me uncomfortable because I saw that they were selling it on thebasis that this "secret" was only now being revealed -and they were making like it was some sort of Da Vinci Codetype conspiracy.

But, I was somewhat OK with that. I realize that sometimes in marketing you have to spice it up a bit.

You know, sell the sizzle so to speak.

Thus, I awaited the film whilst joining insome conversations online about it.When it was released I received a copy in the mail. I watched it. And then I kept my mouth shut.
People seemed to REALLY enjoy it.

Alas, I did not.
Here was an infomercial that claimed that the "secret" -to life, the Universe, and Everything, no doubt - was merely the Law of Attraction.

Using every piece of New Age pablum(intentions, gratitude, manifesting), it then used (a la What the bleep?) quantum physics to "prove" that indeed one's mind can surely alter physical objective reality.

All one need to do is Ask - Believe - Receive. (Balderdash, Effort required!! CB)

The past teachers of the "secret" were claimed to be Einstein, Beethoven, Edison, and other luminaries.
The "new teachers,"the talking heads in the infomercial who spoke in soundbites, were a cavalcade beaming smiles all averring that the Universe is a catalogue waiting for you to flip through the pages so that it could deliver to you what youwanted whenever it struck your fancy.
Nice message - if it weren't presented as scientific fact,which is where, once again, quantum physics made its entrance to prove that all of this was true.

I kept my mouth shut, only voicing my disagreementto friends and close colleagues.

Then I began receiving the emails and phone calls."How can I manifest this?" "I want to manifest a milliondollars." "I've been working on getting my intentionsin alignment..." Ad nauseum.
The final straw was the Oprah show, which was the lowestof the banal.

Once again, we had a cavalcade of the "bestand brightest" espousing not a philosophy, not a way to improve or succeed, but rather a new religion of sorts.

It was at this point that I knew I had to say something.I've been saying for many years now that this mind stuff -The Master Key System, Think and Grow Rich, etc. - comprise a philosophy, a way of thinking that is open and malleable.
It is not a dogmatic religion, which is how it is currently being presented.
Replace the "Universe" with "God" and the"Law of Attraction" with "prayer" ... I think you can seewhat I mean.

In other words, I saw something that wasn't REALLY going to enrich anybody - except those writing, producing,and teaching this drivel.

So, I wrote a few blog entries.
Ranted in an email or two.
Enter David Portney.

We've been colleagues for a few years now. We talk on the phone weekly and enjoy a good businessrelationship at times - developing projects, brain stormingideas, offering support. He emailed me asking me to readsomething he had written.
It was "The 5 Biggest Lies of The Law of Attraction." In it,he wrote about what the title implies - how the LOA is being misrepresented in modern self-help, specifically in "The Secret."
He discussed how these movies take a person away fromrational thinking, which is the cornerstone of good self-help,and replace it with "magical thinking."

I read it and I agreed.

We had discussed this many times.In "print" on screen, it looked damning.As I stated, I was receiving phone calls and emails (I still do!)about The Secret and how to do what they said they could do.I felt that people were being mislead.

Of course, a certain portion were what I termed the wealth-without-work crowd - those people who look for the get-rich-quickschemes and generally don't want to earn anything; they merely want the rewards and trappings of success.

It was the honest and hopeful for whom I felt.
David would say that the ideas in the Secret are dangerous.
Sometimes, listening to a person with dashed hopes, I would agree.
This was becoming a slippery slope.
I made a few more blog entries and then I called David."David,"
I said. "Call into the teleconference line. Let's use the recording feature and just have a conversationabout The Secret and your report.

"Name the time," David replied.We set the time. We called into the service. We recorded the call.
We pretty much bashed The Secret and the new age philosophy it espouses.
That is the podcast that is available here -http://snipurl.com/1bwsb

We both think that people will accuse us of being negative.I don't think we are.
I think it is very positive. I thinkpeople being deluded (through no real fault of their own)is negative. Of course, our opinions may differ.

Now, you may agree (I AGREE, CB) or you may disagree with what we said.

Of course, that is life!

What I'd like to repeat is thatI believe that this is a philosophy. I admit that everything I say or think can be 100% wrong and that whatis propounded in these infomercials is 100% right. There isalways that chance.
What gets my goat is that the makers of these infomercialspropose their views as cosmic truth. As I said, with that frame of mind, we've moved from philosophy that we candiscuss and debate and learn to religion, which becomesdogmatic - believe what I believe or else!(Just so you know, I have nothing against religion. I findthe faiths very lovely and have as a whole contributedmore good to humanity than bad, as opposed to what many wouldhave you believe.)

I think that as a philosophy, everything can be discussed.It is not a semantic difference - it is a real and actualdifference.

One fosters debate and learning; the other close-mindedness. So, whether you agree or disagree, make your view known.

I created a thread on the Free Master Key Message Boardso that you can post your views.http://thefreemasterkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=378
