Like virtually anything in life, business principles shift over time. With few exceptions, wise strategy one year can be poor the next.

Deliver immediate gains. Read More...

In his 23 years as an accountant, Frank Jasek has been asked by clients "more than once" whether they can write off gambling expenses in Las Vegas (no, even if they are with a client). And ditto for escort services, even though they're legal in the state of Nevada.
Business travel is one expense category that attracts a second look from Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), mainly because there's potential for personal benefit, says Jasek, a partner with tax and accounting firm Prapavessis Jasek in Toronto. As a result, he says, in recent years, the CRA has homed in closer on those writing off business travel expenses.
Red flags for the tax man. The CRA uses sophisticated algorithms to suss out expenses that seem out of whack. “It’s all about percentages,” says Jasek. “When we look at clients’ expense reports, if we see more than 10 per cent allocated to travel, we ask about it. That’s a lot.” Read More...

“It’s all about carrying yourself with confidence. On the ice, if you dictate the play, you skate away from the scrum when you want to. You call the shots.”
You joined the NHL as a hot prospect—the No. 1 pick in the 1985 entry draft. Was that a lot of pressure out of the gate?
There was general pressure, yes, but I think players put more pressure on themselves than what comes from the outside. When you’re a rookie at 18, there’s so much excitement that it outweighs some of the pressure.
Have you developed any tricks to keep stress in check over the years?
I think the most important thing is recognizing what you can control and what you can’t. On the ice, you can compete and work as hard as you can. Off the ice, you can control how well you get along with your teammates and the atmosphere in the dressing room. But you can’t really control something like the media, so why worry about it? Throw your energy at the things you can control. Read More...
