Data Backed Sales Tips to Never Miss Your Quota
As some of you may know about me, I love sales and I love negotiating. It's something I'm quite passionate about. In fact, if you are reading this and need help with sales, negotiation tips or talking a deal through - email me and I'm happy to offer any advice I can.
One of my sales mentors was John Barrows. John is the CEO of JBarrows Sales Training and one of the best sales trainers in the world. My experiences with John sharpened my sales skills and gave me the confidence to leave a comfortable software sales job to go after CG Sports (pic of Barrows and Cejih on the blog).

Best Retirement Strategies for Self-Employed (Part 3)
by Liz Alterman
If you want to get taxes out of the way…
Open a Roth IRA. With a traditional IRA, you don’t pay income tax until you withdraw from the account. With a Roth IRA, you’re putting away post-tax dollars.
That means you pay taxes on the money as you contribute to the account, and when you decide to withdraw the funds decades later, you’re getting the entire amount, no more taxes applied (so long as you’ve held the account for five years, and you’re at least 59½).
Long-term benefit: Roth IRAs let your money grow (and grow, and grow!) tax-free until you’re ready to withdraw.
