Tax season is probably the most important time for independent consultants to think like business owners. You want to pay as little tax as possible without triggering an audit so that you keep more of what you earn. Ask yourself (and your accountant) this question: As a business owner, how can I lower my tax bill? The short answer is to maximize your tax deductions this year and take steps to reap tax-saving benefits every year.

When you assemble something for the second time, it will be easier than the first time. The quality of the instructions and design determine how big a difference experience makes. If you’re only going to do it once, perhaps it pays to hire someone who has experience. All instructions could be better, and all design benefits from empathy.

Tolerance is an engineering term. When the parts of a car are made to a low tolerance, that means that they fit perfectly. A modern Lexus is a better car than a 1976 Nova because relentless improvement means that the parts are more exact. Tolerance is a design term. When a system can tolerate non-perfect users and interventions, the interoperability increases and so a high tolerance design is often seen as more successful.

Whenever we make a choice, we do our best. We make a decision based on our interests. In other words, it’s selfish. So what makes a choice a selfish act worth addressing? There are two circles: the circle of us and the circle of now. A selfish toddler keeps both circles very small. They care about right now, not later. They care about their parents or whomever is in the room.
