Mark Maupin Introduces Edward King, Small Business Workshop Leader, Consultant and CPA, to speak about The Small Business as a Tax Shelter

Even with new tax strategies, the average business pays 30% more in taxes that it should

Detroit, MI—Mark Maupin of the National Real Estate Network has invited Edward King to speak at the April Mega Evening Event meeting. Mr. King is the author of several books about starting and operating a profitable small business. As a consultant, he has helped thousands of people deal with their business problems and he has been teaching small business workshops at Wayne State University for over 15 years. He is also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who understands the “tax shelter” benefits and many deductions to be claimed when operating a small business.

Most Americans have not been taught about saving on taxes in their formal education, so they rely on tax preparers. However, even if one keeps good records throughout the year, their tax preparer cannot do a thing to save the business owner money on their income taxes once it’s time to file. The time to save is throughout the year, with careful planning and strategic operations. Small business owners have many advantages that most are not aware of. Some of the topics Edward King covers in his workshop are protecting personal assets, reducing their chances of being audited by the IRS, sheltering wage income, reducing social security payments to the government, increasing social security payments from the government and increasing one’s pension contribution to 100% of their profits.

To hear more from Edward King, attend the Mega Evening Event in April. The meeting will be at the Laurel Manor, 39000 Schoolcraft Rd; Livonia, MI 48150, from 6pm to 9pm on April 17, 2008. Call 248-762-0800 to register. Visit http://www.megaeveningevent.com for more information.

Achieve Satisfaction by Running a Profitable Small Business—Edward King, CPA and Small Business Expert, will speak at an Event in April

The difference between getting rich and going broke is not how hard you work, but how smart you work

Detroit, MI—Small business owners have a lot of responsibility. Considering the many different activities they perform, no wonder so many fail. Unlike large corporations with many departments, the small business owner is CEO, accountant, treasurer, lawyer, personnel manager, production supervisor, marketing specialist, advertising agent and the list goes on and on. Edward King, CPA and leader of small business workshops, has been invited to speak at a meeting to discuss effective planning and organizing when starting and operating a small business.

One’s investment in a small business is looked at like any other investment of stocks, bonds, savings accounts, etc…A small business owner is looking for a return on their investment. Strategic planning, careful organizing and attention to detail are important when opening and operating a small business. The small business owner makes all decisions, therefore, is subject to error, which can be costly. One major mistake will cause a business to fail.

Business owners and those who are thinking of starting their own business will get a lot of value by attending the Mega Evening Event in Livonia. The meeting will be at the Laurel Manor, 39000 Schoolcraft Rd; Livonia, MI 48150, from 6pm to 9pm on April 17, 2008. Call 248-762-0800 to register.

Make Money Running a Profitable Small Business—Mark Maupin Invites and Expert Business Consultant to Speak at the Mega Evening Event

Small business is also America’s nightmare—find out why, and how to avoid the pitfalls which cause business to fail

Livonia, MI—Why do so many small businesses fail within the first six months of operation? Edward King, teacher of small business workshops, discusses the high failure rate of small business owners and the mistakes that caused their demise at the Mega Evening Event, hosted by Mark Maupin, co-founder of the Nnational Real Estate Network. The numbers are staggering. 1/3 of new businesses will fail within the first 6 months and 75% of start-ups fail within the first 5 years. 9 out of 10 companies operating today will eventually fail or just give up trying. Failure is devastating, often causing owners to lose everything, from their car and life savings to their home and families. The once proud business owner, upon failure, is often left with a lack of self-confidence, a loss of self-esteem and an empty bank account.

Edward King will speak about starting and running a profitable small business at the Mega Evening Event at the Laurel Manor, 39000 Schoolcraft Rd; Livonia, MI 48150, from 6pm to 9pm on April 17, 2008. Call 248-762-0800 to register. Visit http://www.megaeveningevent.com for more information.

Big vs. Small Business-Edward King to Show how Small Business Owners are Rewarded with Higher Return than Big Businesses

The good news is, you really can earn money with a successful small business

Dearborn, MI—We have all heard about the advantages of big business, the benefits of mass production, mass buying and a huge budget for research and development. Nevertheless, big business often comes up with poor quality or more sluggish service than smaller competitors. One reason this is so is small businesses have the ability to change methods of operation faster than large businesses. They are in closer contact with employees, customers and suppliers. Commercial giants have found that the only way to stay profitable is to sell franchises to small business people who bring huge drive and enthusiasm to their work.

According to studies, 89% of people earning over $50,000 per year are small business owners, and over 85% of small businesses show a profit. Times of uncertainty and rapid economic, social and technological change are the most fertile ground for entrepreneurial activity. The number of millionaires had been growing at three times the Gross National Product (GNP); a new millionaire is “born” every 39 minutes.

Mark Maupin of the National Real Estate Network has invited Edward King, a CPA, teacher of small business workshops and author of several books about small businesses, to speak at the Mega Evening Event. The meeting will be at the Laurel Manor, 39000 Schoolcraft Rd; Livonia, MI 48150, from 6pm to 9pm on April 17, 2008. Call 248-762-0800 to register.

Mark Maupin Hosts an Event with Business Consultant, Edward King, to be the Main Speaker and Talk to Members about Running a Profitable Small Business

Why do they call it small business? Since when is small business small?

Southfield, MI—In 1950, 93,000 new businesses were incorporated. Now, the rate is running at well over 700,000 per year! Small business accounts for 86% of new jobs, 75% of all businesses, 60% of the workforce, 45% of all sales, 40% of the Gross National Product (GNP), and 24 times the innovation, per dollar invested, of large business. According to Edward King, unlike large corporations with layers of bureaucracy, small businesses have the freedom to make decisions to try out new ideas without being rejected by the higher-ups as “too risky.” Small businesses tend to be in close touch with customer needs.

Mr. King also points out the value of running a small business to build an estate for your family. The freedom of managing one’s own time also allows more time to spend with family, not to mention the security provided to family members who may have jobs working for the business as well. A home-based business also frees up time and expense wasted in commuting to work each day. In today’s economy, with today’s gas prices, that’s huge!

Edward King has been teaching small business workshops for over 15 years. He will be speaking at the Mega Evening Event at the Laurel Manor, 39000 Schoolcraft Rd; Livonia, MI 48150, from 6pm to 9pm on April 17, 2008. Call 248-762-0800 to register.

Mark Maupin of the National Real Estate Network Hosts Edward King, CPA, to Speak to Members about Running a Profitable Small Business

Owning a small business can be an exciting, challenging and rewarding experience

Detroit, MI—Mark Maupin of the National Real Estate Network holds meetings the 3rd Thursday of each month, with special guest speakers who are experts in their field. The topic for the April Mega Evening Event will be starting and running a profitable small business. The speaker will be Edward King, a CPA, teacher, and author of several books about running small businesses and accounting practices with small businesses. Mr. King has been teaching small business workshops for over 15 years. He has helped thousands of small business owners deal with a variety of business problems.

Edward King says, “One of the biggest emotional advantages to owning your own business is independence.” Many employees are tired of taking orders, feeling their future is in someone else’s hands and attending endless meetings in which little or nothing is accomplished. They’ve had it with rushing to tend to their boss’s needs, office politics, backbiting, interacting with difficult people and making money for someone else. Furthermore, it’s frustrating to have one’s own great ideas get ignored or someone else to take credit for them.

Those who would like the freedom to set their own schedule, work the hours they want to, and be the envy of their friends and neighbors, need to take action now and attend the Mega Evening Event with Edward King, at the Laurel Manor, 39000 Schoolcraft Rd; Livonia, MI 48150, from 6pm to 9pm on April 17, 2008. Call 248-762-0800 to register. Visit http://www.megaeveningevent.com for more information.

Mark Maupin asks “How do you like your Job? Not so Much? Then why not Start your own Business and be your own Boss?”

Attend the April Mega Evening to see how we are shifting from a managerial society to an entrepreneurial society


Royal Oak—All around, there are self-made business owners who had and idea, offered a service, started a company and now lead the “good life” as a result of the success of heir own small business. Mark Maupin of the National Real Estate Network has invited Edward King to speak to members about starting and running a successful, profitable small business. “Competition in the job market is fierce in today’s economy,” says Mark Maupin. “In spite of labor laws, many people find themselves held back due to age, race, sex or background. One can avoid these restrictions by owning their own small business,” Mark explains.

Statistics show of America’s 35 richest people, half are high school drop-outs and less than one-third ever graduated from college. According to the US Department of Labor, women who are tired of being paid 30% less than men are starting their own businesses at 6 times the rate of men. Last year, US companies bought more than $20 billion in goods and services from minority-owned businesses and minority-owned businesses are growing at 5 times the rate of non-minority owned businesses.

Among the many advantages of owning your own business is security. Time Magazine estimates that 1,500 jobs are lost, per year, due to deregulation, corporate mergers, and global competition. Instead, many are hiring sub-contractors. With today’s technology, computers, cell phones, fax machines, answering machines and overnight delivery services, people working out of their own homes can be as productive as any Fortune 500 company employee.

So, there are many great reasons to attend the Mega Evening Event at the Laurel Manor, 39000 Schoolcraft Rd; Livonia, MI 48150, from 6pm to 9pm on April 17, 2008. Call 248-762-0800 to register. Visit http://www.megaeveningevent.com for more information.
