letter of law , if i own one , the company owns one , I drive the company car 99% of time , then that is a perk
If You work for me and you drive to job , that s your expense out of what I paid you, your car, insurance, gas, maintenance,expenses, food
I get a hotel , eat 1st class , drink 1st class for the company
If I drive , I drive the company vehicle everywhere, as the law states , letter of tax law.
If I go out of town , I talk to anyone , give a business card , tell them about my company , perspecitve ( asis ) that is a vacation , planned event , use all the extra time to do what I want , the co. paid all expenses , I write off 100%
If you go on vacation , 100% out of your own pocket
that s the different
the Las Vegas trip is tax exempt because I planned it , used the right timing , brought family , had a business trip , education siminar, great Hotel
That's a perk
If you go to Las Vegas , You pay 100% , that s the difference , planning purpose, perspective on company values
I know too many business's who own condo's, house's, house boats, yaughts , vacation suites that they use for business and tell me that is not a perk , benefit or value
If you live like an employee , your whole life you think like one.
If you live like an owner, you will think like one
YOU are the company you keep
and think just like that company
good or bad
I grew up with lots of elderly hard working people and learned to be a good employee
once i owned my 1st business , that s what changed my perspective
made me grow up, learn what , why, how, who to associate with .
